Kam Shing is widely praised for generous portions and a family style setup that makes it a good pick for groups, with many dishes described as tasty and well priced and several reviewers noting big portions that can yield leftovers; the menu is broad and the service is often quick and friendly, though some visits have featured uneven service and changes in flavor, including mentions that certain dishes like orange beef or pineapple chicken have not tasted the same as in the past; the restaurant is busy and well loved by longtime customers, and it remains a dependable option for classic Chinese dishes with crowd pleasing items such as wonton soup and fried rice.
Food is good, big portions with affordable prices ! A lot of people have been eating here for generations. You see a diversity of clients so they adapt properly to everyone (yes they have to judge you to see the amount of msg they put). I got one water refill at the end. I didn't ask tho but usually I shouldn't ask. Don't get me wrong, staff is hard working. For take away, they gave us boxes & a nice reusable bag. +1

Noodles are always good but here are the best I been eating here for years & all good love it it will never change.
The service is great & they are very polite & nice.
I went with family so my boy really likes the food & my girl like it too & my husband loves the food very much that they even asked me if we can go again
It's been over 30 years as my family's favorite Chinese restaurant 😋.
Avlin & his brother have been able to offer the same great food & services as their fathers heritage.
Restaurant is located inside the mall, downstairs where the Gaint Tigers store is. They moved to the other side of the mall, best Chinese food I ever had comparing to Toronto. Portions are huge, is shareable, & prices are affordable. Which made me come back twice during my trip in Montreal.
The decor & atmosphere feels homey in a sense of when you go to an old Chinese restaurant as a kid. Great childhood memories. 👌

Je vais a cet endroit depuis plusieurs années. Le service est excellent & la nourriture est très bonne. Ils ont aussi un bon choix de repas végétarien.
Been coming here for many years. Always a good experience; food's great & portions are generous. Best Salt-&-Pepper Tofu in the city & we also love their veggie noodle plate.
Cela fait 35 ans que je connais Kam Shing & que j'y vais de temps a autre. Mes plats préférés: boeuf à l'orange & nouilles Singapore: Mais quelle déception aujourd'hui (19/9/22) & 2 ou 3 dernières fois: les singapore ne goûtent absolument rien: fade est le bon mot. Quant au boeuf à l'orange : aucun croustillant, pas de zeste d'orange, morceaux de boeuf douteux & la sauce est insipide. Je suis très très décue & je n'ai plus aucune envie de manger là-bas. En plus $40 pour ces 2 plats. Je ne recommande aucunement ce restaurant maintenant. Si le propriétaire qui était derrière le comptoir lorsque le restaurant était de l'autre côté de la rue (où est le Harveys maintenant) était encore là, il serait extrêmement décu de la bouffe qu'on y sert maintenant.
Je revenais de temps en temps à ce resto... J'ai commandé un "riz frit yang chow" pour emporter un vendredi soir, c'est dur à manquer comme plat... Ils m'ont donné le pire riz frit que j'ai jamais eu, y'avait presque JUSTE DU RIZ avec quelques "bouts" de ptit pois & de simili crevettes. Qu'un resto vous donne ca en plus du temps que ca a pris à faire (au moins 20min), c'est insultant... Dernière fois que j'allais.

Very disappointed with my meal at Kam Shing today. The wontons in the soup hardly had any shrimp in it; mostly flour... The owner of the restaurant hardly took notice when I pointed this to him.
The other dish was dull.
I noticed that they have a new menu. Of course, all prices went up but unfortunately the quality went down... Hope this was just a bad day for them. Otherwise, this is shameful on their part.
An unhappy custome
The restaurant itself is not pretty, old tables, virtually no décor ..but oh my gosh the food is delicious.
We had general tau chicken, scallops with Chinese broccoli, a white rice with shrimp dish & 1/2 litre of a white house wine.
Everything hot, fresh, large portions.
The whole bill worked out to about $25 each tax in.
My friend & I wanted take out last night & we decided to place an order & go pick it up at this particular place. We had spring rolls, general Tao chicken, orange beef & vegetable fried noodles & we loved it. Easily one of the best general Tao chicken I have ever had.
Un des restos ou j'irai plus jamais dans ma vie. J'y etais avec un ami chinois qui voulait aussi essaye ce resto mais apres qu'on ai goute, meme le chinois s'est dit si c'est encore du chinois. Etonnant qu'autant de monde y va encore. En plus les serveurs sont impolis.
En tout cas faudra bien reflechir avant d'y aller.

The restaurant has a large capacity. Often you wait in line to be seated but the food is good. The dishes do not all come at the same time but that's not the issue.
The service & attitude of the staff is terrible.
When they serve you it seems as if they are doing you a favor serving you.
We did not leave a tip. It's unfortunate that the tips all go into a pot & are split among the waiters. So ours doesn't even know if we did or didn't leave one.
I have been eating here for the past 20 years. Since the owner is no longer there the portions have gotten smaller & the service worse.
It will be a long time before I go back.
