It has not changed ... 30+ years. The house special rice is as good as ever 😍 This rating is a bit overrated - from my nostalgia.
May 2023: the place has not changed much; some how the wonton soup & the special house rice (not on the menu any more) did not taste as good as I remember.
May 2026: interior refreshed; cute, friendly hostess/server fluent chinese/english/french; good house special rice (not in the menu).
Thank you for your continuing presence
I have been coming here since I was 4 years old & I still think this is the best Chinese restaurant in Montreal. It's always fresh, generous & affordable. I crave the wonton soup regularly.

La nourriture est excellente. Vous devez commander de la soupe wonton.
Le boeuf bouilli épicé est délicieux, ainsi que les tranches de lotus épicées & les haricots séchés à quatre saisons.
J'ai bu du soju coréen avec mes amis, & le verre à vin est aussi très mignon ☺?
Les boulettes de sésame de dessert sont également très bonnes.
Friendly & attentive staff. Cute little spot, lots of seats.
We came for wonton, which was amazing! & we we're recommended a spicy beef dish, it was delicious!
Had an amazing experience at Fung Shing Chinese Restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious & everything we ordered really hit the spot.
We started with the Tofu & Seafood Soup (large) which was comforting & full of flavour. The Deep Fried Wonton (large) & Pan Fried Pork Dumplings (large) were perfectly crispy & packed with filling. The Spring Rolls were a great starter as well.
For mains, the BBQ Pork & Half Roasted Duck were highlights - tender, juicy, & full of that classic roasted flavour. The Beef Fried Rice (large) & Beef Chow Mein (large) were both generous portions & very tasty. We also ordered Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce, which was cooked perfectly & balanced out the meal nicely.
We were a group of 7 & the portions were great - everyone left full & completely satisfied. The food came out hot, fresh, & full of flavour. Definitely a great spot for family-style Chinese food. We'll absolutely be coming back! 😋🥢

Very authentic flavors. The waiter very patient & friendly. My favorites are fried wonton, seafood soup, garlic lobster, salt pepper pork chop, general tao, fung shing chicken & salted fish fried rice, fried calamary & fried shrimps
Best chinese food I've ever had & I grew up in SF. In particular the wonton soup & the spring rolls are the best I've ever had. They hand make their own stock & wontons. The roast duck is also made in house which is such a rarity! Really a last standing homage to the dying art of traditional southern chinese cuisine from family recipes. Truly a gem!
