Service déplorable. L'attente pour notre commande a été anormalement longue & incomplète. Nous avions commandé plusieurs plats à partager en famille, & on nous a seulement apporté la soupe, puis le riz 10 minutes plus tard. Le reste de la commande a mis une éternité à arriver, plus de 45 minutes. De plus, les serveurs se disputaient bruyamment. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils ont servi les autres tables avant nous. À notre arrivée, le restaurant était vide. Nous avions fait le déplacement depuis Laval spécialement pour manger ici, & c'est vraiment dommage car ce genre de problème n'arrivait jamais avec l'ancien propriétaire. La nourriture était délicieuse & le service efficace. On se sentait comme en famille. Une heure d'attente & le reste de nos plats n'était toujours pas arrivé.

Fung Shing has been serving the community for 50 years, & I can't help but feel a little envious of Montrealers for having such a historic Chinese restaurant. The food is amazing & the service feels so friendly & welcoming. I saw many customers talking with the servers like old friends-clearly longtime regulars who have been coming here since they were kids.
It's more than just a restaurant; it's part of the city's dining culture. I was genuinely moved by the experience.
What an amazing dining experience! We visited as two couples & were impressed by every dish we tried - especially the appetizers & sides. The restaurant was lively, creating a great atmosphere. The staff were extremely polite, helpful, & attentive from start to finish.
This was my second time dining here, & after coming back, I can confidently say it fully deserves its 5-star rating - if not more. I would gladly give it a sixth star if I could.
Strongly recommended!

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
Très belle place avec de belles grandes tables. Ambiance très chaleureuse avec un excellent service attentionnée. La nourriture était délicieuse avec des portions généreuses. Je recommande à tout le monde 🙂💪
Went for lunch while visiting Montreal with my partner & was our favorite meal! Service was amazing, all the food tasted delicious with great portions & the house red wine was 10/10. Would recommend :)

Restaurant ouvert depuis environ 50 ans. Service impeccable & attentionné. Excellente cuisine. De bons souvenirs d'enfance reviennent à l'esprit à chaque visite. Merci.
Excellent service client, un grand merci à toute l'équipe mais surtout à Mlle.Lu & Mr Steven ! La nourriture est excellente & le cadre super convivial. À venir tester les yeux fermés !!!!
Great nostalic Chinese restaurant opened since the late 70's. Nothing fancy just good food at honest prices. Same decor as 50 years ago. Not a place for the fussy or faint at heart.
