Kam Shing has cemented itself as a cornerstone for Chinese comfort food in Montreal, with each of its locations drawing in loyal crowds for over three decades. The menu leans heavily on classic Cantonese and Szechuan dishes, offering heaping portions of favourites like General Tao chicken, mapo tofu, and crispy Cantonese chow mein. It’s the kind of spot where shrimp toast becomes a cult obsession and won ton soup earns its title as some of the best in town.
The no-frills dining rooms—think plastic tablecloths and plain walls—keep the focus squarely on the food. Service is efficient, if brusque, but the payoff is undeniable: steaming plates of fried noodles, honey garlic spare ribs, and salt-and-pepper shrimp that disappear as fast as they arrive. Pro tip: the food travels well, and takeout can be the move for letting those bold sauces settle into their full glory.
