Happy Monday! I hope everyone’s been enjoying the long weekend so far. If you’re like me and want to squeeze in a couple of good meals with friends and family, then you should check out the following roundup of the best restaurants of the week. And for this edition, I’m thrilled to make it all about Chinese cuisine.
Here are the top six restaurants of the week for Chinese food:
Hong Shing
As a Toronto staple since 1997, the restaurant features dishes with flavours from different parts of China. The menu includes dim sum, seafood and meat dishes along rice and noodles. There’s also daily specials, along with ‘fried rice of the week’. Hong Shing is open daily from 11am, and it is available for pick-up and delivery.

Some of the chef specials that can be found are Hunan Chili Sea Bass, Hidden Crispy Chicken, and Mapo Tofu. The Chef’s Choice Menu is available for $100 per person. Reservations can be made online.

Craving noodle soups, congee and Chinese BBQ? Whatever you’re in the mood for, House of Gourmet probably has it. Their extensive menu includes a variety of classic dishes and then some, with Szechuan dishes and combo meals as well. You can enjoy dine-in or you can find them on major delivery platforms.
