Ordered food for 8 people. Spent $166 on 10 dishes & 2 soups & it was maybe enough food for 4. Every tiny container was half empty. Also very mediocre food. Nothing special. Don't order takeout if you're hungry. Huge scam.
Our food was served on time & was really nice & filling. From the soup, to the main dishes, we loved it all. I personally liked the salt & pepper shrimp. ❤? The staff were very friendly & accomodating, too.
A wonderful experience at this restaurant, which turned out to be an excellent discovery. The menu is original, & it truly shows in the dishes. A big plus for the very friendly service & the intimate, pleasant atmosphere. Thank you so much, & see you again soon!
We had dinner at this restaurant last night & everything was perfect.
The service was impeccable, & the cuisine was excellent.
A wonderful discovery, with delicious dishes from start to finish.
After a long day of sightseeing, our group of nine stopped by Fung Shing. Because we were a large group, reservations are recommended.
Once seated, the service was relaxed & well organized. We never felt rushed, & the dishes arrived exactly as requested - even when we asked for most of them to come out at the same time.
If you're visiting Montréal, Fung Shing is absolutely worth a visit. With 50 years of history in the city, it's truly a Montréal classic.
For larger groups, especially 9 pe
This cozy, family run Chinese restaurant offers mouthwatering dishes that are sure to satisfy. The generous portions mean even the hungriest diner can enjoy a fulfilling meal with just one main course.
Although we wish we had sampled more of their menu, the beef with broccoli showcased the challenge of perfectly balancing garlic & ginger flavors - a simple dish with sophisticated flavors. Food wasn't greasy either.

Food - 5/5 - My partner & I ordered an array of dishes & everything was served Fresh & hot. Good value for the large portions you get. Food was delicious & hot the spot.
Service - 5/5 - Was promptly seated during the end of dinner rush. We got our food quickly. They helped us pack up the left overs & even provided plastic bags to wrap the containers so they don't leave, plus a small reusable bag to carry out multiple containers. Tea was provided. My partner, being of Chinese decent, was welcomed & asked if he spoke mandarin & the employees (maybe owner or related to owner) spoke with him.
Atmosphere - 4/5 - It isn't the fanciest place nor does it have much for decor but it has the vibe of a good Chinese restaurant.
Overall - 5/5 - I thoroughly enjoyed their food & service. Conveniently located in the heart of Chinatown & close to bus stops. I recommend giving them a visit if you are in Montreal & craving a good Chinese meal. With an expansive menu there should be items for all to enjoy.
My wife & I were really in the mood for some good Chinese food & since we were already in downtown Montreal, we decided to walk over to Chinatown which has in my opinion the best Chinese restaurants in Montreal. We chose a real, "Old School" restaurant named Fung Shing on Boul. Saint-Laurent which has been around since 1976. The interior reminded me of when my parents took me to Chinese restaurants as a kid. Great memories! We selected from the menu, Hunan Dumplings, Lemon Chicken, Beef with Ginger & Pineapple & Stir Fried Vegetables, & let me tell you we experienced an explosion of flavours from each of these dishes. The portions were extremely large & we could not finish all of our food. The restaurant packaged it up for us to takeout so that we could bring it home & enjoy this absolutely delicious food once again.
This place is very welcoming & understanding. We ordered initially 6 dishes & they came out very quick. The portions were large & prices were very reasonable. We had a large group so we ordered 2 more dishes 10 mins apart from one another. They came out with the additional dishes quick & without any hassle from servers. I want to gatekeeper but this place is too good
