What People Are Saying About Hop Shing Restaurant Inc

Citysearch
With its wood paneling and red vinyl booths, Hop Shing's interior is pure Edward Hopper. The "No Smoking" sign is the only reminder that you have not been transported to some infinitely more colorful past. An OTB parlor two doors down assures a steady stream of picturesque clientele--the cast of a Cantonese production of "Guys and Dolls," maybe. The families lining up by the counter are there to buy bags and boxes of sweet and savory pastries, including some of the best pork buns and egg custard tarts in the city. Dim sum is served every morning, with a single creaky cart making its way slowly…

Great dim sum and congee
by dleung92
I only go to this place for their congee. Their dim sum is also good. If your looking go and do take out there, you might find yourself in this crowd that is rude and aggressive therefore you should either sit down and eat or make sure no one cuts in front of you as some Chinese people don't care and cut you. Tip: Be aggressive when ordering, move up front if you can...
- Pros: Congee is the best in Chinatown
- Cons: When doing take out you have to wait a long time as you have to fight the crowd as they are also fighting to get their order in.

Worst dim sum in the universe
by cwmmh
Hop Shing/Chatham Sq restaurant is by far the WORST dim sum place I've been to. The floor was filthy, with bits of napkins and garbage being shuffled around when people walk by. We got there around 12.30 on Sunday and didn't see any carts serving food. We asked the waiters for shiu mei or har kow and were told "No more. Wait, later." After 30 minutes of waiting, there was still no food in sight. We decided to leave and since we weren't served any food, we didn't leave a tip. After we left the restaurant, one of the waiters chased us down and demanded a tip. I am NEVER EVER going back to Hop Shing. The place is unsanitary, the waiters are rude, and they ran out of dim sum to serve. There are way to many other good dim sum places to choose from. My husband & I ended up going to Jing Fong, where we know that the food is always good.
- Pros: Cheap price
- Cons: Filthy restaurant, rude waiters, did not have food

Dim Sum quick bite!
by sherrieszeto
Dim sum in the morning hours. Many locals drop in to get breakfast / dim sum to eat. Usually full of people standing in front of the counter trying to get their orders taken. The dim sum taste ok, if you have a craving for simple / quick dim sum. Though their menu seems to offer alot more then just dim sum. For a quick snack, yes but if your looking for the real tasty dim sum, go somewhere else.
- Pros: Quick dim sum
