Hongxing is on Ubereats with a BOGO promotion!
Noodles with Beef Balls and Tofu and soup
The beef balls were made with a lot of work since the tofu skin was a super thin layer on top of the densely packed beef. Very yummy and the noodles were great too - especially all the toppings like seaweed and green onions on top.
Noodles with scallions and oil
It seems like a simple dish, but it was really good with lots of flavour and it was really filling.

Shanghai fried noodles and pan fried dumplings
The take out version is as good as the eat-in version (even though the dumplings aren't as crisp - they're still super tasty and delicious with hot soup inside).
Beef noodle soup with the noodles, choy and egg packaged separately from the beef and beef broth
It was a nice DIY package for take-out since the noodles and soup wouldn't get soggy on the journey home. Everything was really good and super affordable! If you haven't tried Hongxing Kitchen, definitely check it out for yummy Shanghainese food!

Shanghai Chives and Pork Dumplings
Since the food court hasn't been open for eating in, we had to grab the dumplings to go (and they prepare the dumplings separate from the soup - so you have to cook the dumplings again). The dumplings are so worth it though! There's so much meat inside and they're so tasty with the clear broth.

Hongxing is open for take-out and now they're also on Uber Eats!
Fish-flavoured shredded pork with vegetables and rice and Shanghai Fried Noodles
I love the strong flavour of the fish-flavoured shredded pork, but it's not for everyone since it has a strong smell. It's one of my favourite dishes at Hongxing and I've really been craving it!
Pan fried dumplings
Since the stay-at-home orders started, I really miss fried food - so this meal hit the spot! Tasty fried noodles with vegetables and dumplings with a slightly crispy layer on the bottom. Yummy!

Steamed Shanghai Vegetarian Dumplings (with egg)
We saw someone at the food court eating these and it seemed really good. There's a lot of delicious ingredients inside the dumplings like glass noodles, assorted vegetables, egg and more.
Inside
Mapo tofu on rice and Fish-flavoured shredded pork with vegetables and rice
Delicious! Really Flavourful and huge portions of tofu and fish-flavoured shredded pork (even though it looks small in the box). Both of these dishes taste amazing with white rice since they have such strong flavours. The fish-flavoured shredded pork is one of my favourite dishes here!

Shanghai dumplings with noodle soup
6 huge dumplings and noodles with soup.
Chicken cutlet, soup and Shanghai fried noodles
The Shanghai fried noodles are really good, I think they worked out their recipe and now it tastes much better. Hongxing Kitchen has now become my go-to place for Shanghai fried noodles!

Pork belly in noodle soup
Yummy as usual!

Summer menu!
The wontons were pretty good and it was a different experience eating them cold rather than in hot or in a bowl of soup. The peanut sauce was pretty good too!
Shanghai Seaweed salad, potato salad with ham and cold noodles
The seaweed salad was really good since it was cool and refreshing. The cold noodles had the same peanut sauce as the cold dumplings and it was pretty good too.
Braised Beef Noodle Soup
A really hearty bowl of tender satisfying beef with soy sauce egg and choy on top of Shanghai noodles in dark beef broth. It was really yummy, but I prefer the Taiwanese spicy version.

The chef had a Thursday special: Shanghai Style Salty Soy Milk
Shanghai Pork and Chives Wonton and Shanghai Style Salty Soy Milk
The wontons come in pork and vegetable or pork and chives. Personally, I prefer the pork and chives version - it has great flavour! The broth is also really good with seaweed, egg, green onions, cilantro and chicken broth. It's so good that when I finish my wontons, I will drink the entire bowl of broth. I'm used to sweet soy milk so this took me a while to get used to. Overall, I would say the salty soy milk was different in a good way since there was so much going on in the soy milk with fried dough, cilantro, green onions and other salty ingredients. Unfortunately, I kept thinking that it needed something like noodles to absorb some of the liquid and to dilute the strong salty flavour. This might be an acquired taste or I have to shatter my conventional belief that soy milk is always sweet.

Shanghai Noodles in soup with preserved vegetables, bamboo shoots and beef
They do an amazing noodle in soup. The soup is really flavourful and the noodles are really tasty.
Chicken Katsu (comes with the noodles in soup above)
Crispy fried chicken breast and there's a spicy mayo dip for the katsu (which makes it even better).
Shanghai Beef and Vegetable Wontons
The wontons are delicious! They're wrapped when you order and then made on the spot while you wait. There's a huge difference between fresh wontons and leftover wontons and you can really taste the difference. The wonton wrappers are thicker and tastier than day-old wonton wrappers.

Shanghai Fried Noodles
The fried noodles reminded me of the best Shanghai Fried Noodles I've ever had. My favourite Shanghai fried noodle place closed down years ago - but it was my favourite food when I was a kid (we went there all the time). This was pretty close, but there was a tad too much vinegar. (Update: you can ask them to put less vinegar in).
Pan fried dumplings and beef noodle soup
The pan fried dumplings were okay, but they were a little too doughy for me. The beef noodle soup was delightful and more strongly flavoured than the usual preserved vegetable noodle soup. However, I like the regular preserved vegetable and bamboo shoot soup base more.
A new Shanghainese place opened in the food court at 4227 Sheppard Avenue East. It's run by a family from Shanghai: the oldest sister does the majority of the cooking with her younger sister taking orders and their parents helping out. I've been here a few times now and it's become a favourite since their food is consistently really good and reasonably priced. Also, the chef mixes things up every once in a while to keep it interesting (like creating a summer menu or adding in Shanghai specialties on certain days of the week).
There's a great Chinese food court located in the Midtown Plaza at the corner of Midland and Finch. There's good Chinese BBQ at Lung Tung BBQ, great Cantonese dish food at Shing Kee Kitchen and now a Shanghainese food stall called Hongxing Kitchen.
The Shanghai noodles in soup were REALLY GOOD! The noodles were perfect - not too soggy and they were great at absorbing the flavour from the soup. The soup was this delicious pork, preserved vegetables, green onions, seaweed and bamboo shoots soup. This was some great traditional Shanghainese cooking!
Shanghai Pork and Vegetable Wontons
These were more like the Chinese dumplings than wontons, but instead of the typical Cantonese filling of shrimp, these had pork and vegetable. The wonton skins were pretty papery thin and it was almost amazing that they held together so well. The wontons were fantastic and the soup base had a lot of delectable ingredients including egg strips, green onions, cilantro, seaweed and a yummy chicken stock base. Everything was homemade and it was SO GOOD!
Overall: I would REALLY recommend this Shanghainese place - the food is delicious and super affordable. The family working here speaks Shanghainese, Mandarin, English and Cantonese and they're super nice. Definitely go try it out!
