Late night Chinese and in walking distance of my hotel. We all wanted to venture to Chinatown, but didn't realize how far it was. Hong Shing would have to do. Extensive menu. Some dishes I've never heard of. Since there were four of us we thought we'd just pick three dishes so there would be no leftovers. HS reminded me of places in San Francisco, so I felt at home.
We ordered the Shanghai house chow mein with pan fried noodles...very good! The General Tso's chicken reminded me of buffalo wings with a hint of Chinse 5 Spice(?)...decent. The last dish, I can't remember its name, was basically beef broccoli with garlic, but was pretty good. We just drank tea since it was late. Good size portions. I was surprised that rice was not included or even offered.
Overall, this place was good. I mean, the customers were so varied, but it was late. Some Asian peeps came in and sat behind us, and one ordered in Cantonese, so that was a good sign. I would come back if in Toronto again. They are open till 3 am!
