This is got to be the worst restaurant we've ever dine in! The ginger and green onion lobster is dry and tasteless, fried rice is so oily, and the spicy squid has more of the colored chips than the squid itself. Service is also bad and to top it all, the waitress has the audacity to tell us that customers always gives 20% or more tip when we were paying the bill. In the end, we paid $93 worth of inedible food. Will not come back here for sure!!!!

We ordered fried black cod - it tasted off and cost $33 - not worth it. Do not recommend. The Schezuan chicken is too spicy and having paid $100 for a low quality meal we are not pleased.

The waiter helped our large family group in ordering enough food. We were delighted with their very good versions of pan-fried noodle and general tsao chicken. Dishes came fairly quickly for our hungry bunch, starting with hot corn soup to warm us after a few blocks walk in the chilly Toronto night.

Last month before we visited Toronto, a group of friends already visited the city and had gone twice to Wah Sing Restaurant which serves Chinese cuisine, Cantonese style.
Based on their high recommendation, on our last night in Toronto, out of our curiosity we wanted to find out what is so special about this restaurant.
Located at the heart of Baldwin Village at Downtown area, Wah Sing could easily be found because the street matched the village name, Baldwin and here many restaurants co-existed also.
This restaurant consisted of 2 floors and a basement. The dining room is decorated with very oriental fixtures and ornaments. It can accommodate more than 100 guests.

We ordered their signature dish, the Lobster special and three other dishes : Sauteed Chinese broccoli, Spicy soft shell crab and Fookin Style fried rice.
They were all very tasty, cooked nicely and well presented. Service was also quick and the waiters were all quite friendly. Most importantly, the price is fair and affordable. We have to admit, as our friends did, if we have the opportunity, we also want to visit this place twice !

Friends recommended this place. I have been to far superior places, one in particular at Spadina and Baldwin, for Sechwan style seafood and regular dishes. The lobsters were fine, though small for the price (two for about $45), already cut up (I prefer them halved or quartered at least so I can cut the parts I want). The other dishes were fine. They do give you 11 options for the type you want (ie ginger, curry, black bean, etc) which is ore than in most places, but I would rather have less choice and better food. No desserts except cookies. But they did have a red and a white wine which was appreciated. I don't think I will return.
