Hua Sang Seafood Restaurant

Service is good however the general Tao chicken here is not the same as the downtown location. Lobster is good here but the downtown location is better overall.

Terrible experience there today. My mother told me that hua sang was having a 10% discount on take out orders so the lobster for two would be roughly 36 – 37 dollars. Thinking this was a great deal, my girlfriend and i called in and ordered the black bean sauce lobster special. Over the phone, they told us the total would be 41 dollars and change. We let them know that we were ordering for take out and that we would be paying cash. They proceed to get annoyed and tell us that its not possible and they never do such discounts. I then told them that my mother had gotten take out yesterday and received the discount and that they should honour the same for us. In response, they told us to come on over to the store and that the order is in already and that they would speak with the owner to honour the discount. So we head over to the restaurant and we step inside and the person we spoke to over the phone says that they cannot do the discount. We argued that it was unfair that we came all the way there thinking that we were getting the discount when in reality they didnt want us cancelling the lobster order that had already gone in the kitchen. After a few more minutes of exchange back and forth, the person says that he will allow us to have the dish for $ 40 flat and that they cannot do the 10% discount because the owner is the only one who can do such things. In response i asked if they could just call the boss and all they said was «sorry. Cant do.»
In the end, we were just really hungry so we took it for 40 dollars but cmon. It’s not even the few extra dollars we are pissed off about. The fact that they offer certain people discounts and refuse it to others is just bad business regardless if it’s just the owner’s discretion or not. I dont mind paying regular price, but a pure bait and switch (when they told us they would honour the discount over the phone) just left a really bad taste in my mouth. Oh and to top it off, the man working gave us a five minute lecture on lobster market prices in different countries. Jesus christ. Their price is $ 36.95 before taxes to begin with. Taking a 10 percent discount paid in cash would still be $ 37. No wonder they only had 3 tables at 7 o clock peak dinner period. Never again.

3.5 stars for me!
My family is a fan of Hua Sang. We used to go to the one on Baldwin but their service deteriorated significantly over the year. So we trek up here where the service is so much better. The owner/​manager is so nice, talks to the customers and makes us feel welcome. The only thing they don’t have here is the tofu dessert. We just got oranges :(
My family ordered a few dishes, their famous lobster, filet mignon on a sizzling plate, oyster with ginger and onions, fried rice, general Tao chicken and snow peas with garlic etc. we wanted to try something new because we always order the same dishes. The lobster was good and the sizzling plate filet, fried rice were a hit but I wasn’t a fan of their general Tao chicken or the oyster pot. I felt the portions didn’t live up to what we paid. Maybe they just had an off day or we should stick to what we like because this visit wasn’t my favourite!

We came here to get the lobster special for mom’s birthday party. The interior was nice and clean, and the servers were pretty quick and friendly. However the food disappointed us — they were flavourful, but we didn’t get enough for three people. After tip it came close to $ 90 but none of us were full after the meal, and mom had to eat at home afterwards. The food was overpriced or portioning was bad, but either way we are not coming back.

Ordered single lobster lunch, and deep fried oysters, food was great! Everything tastes wonderful and lobster meat is still bouncy so i can tell it’s fresh.
The only unpleasant thing is the traffic outside, Disera is a very tight road so be cautious when you drive in from centre road.

We were excited to try the crispy duck, crispy chicken with orange sauce and the general tso chicken. Delivery forgot our two orders of steamed rice and when it arrived it looked mushy and old. The duck was mostly fat so i didn’t eat that. The chicken was dry and tasteless and the orange sauce didn’t help any. The chicken balls and egg rolls were also a disappointment (the chicken ball was really just batter and a tiny bit of meat). I threw away so much.
What a waste of $ 60. Never again.

Lobster Crawls into North Toronto!
My family goes to Hua Sang or Wah Sing on Balwin once a month to get Chinese style Lobster. it’s a trek to go down there as I was never able to find a similar place after Furama closed.
When I heard that Hua Sang came up north, my family was quite happy.
At the first opportunity, my wife went there and came back with a terrible review of the place. It was quite the downer and was taken off the list of regular dinner spots. She ordered the lobster with ginger and green onions with a few other dishes. I was told that the lobster was tasteless and not worth the money at all. To rub it in worse, the price for the lobster was about $ 10 more than downtown. My wife did «alert» them to their short comings before she left.
The other night, we wanted to have some Lobster and since I was not there the first time, we decided to try them again.
My first impression of the place is that it looked clean and well decorated. A far step away from the overcrowded and sometimes dirty spot in the basement of Baldwin Street. The ceilings are high and there is adequate space between guest seats.
We opted for the lobster in black bean sauce. Surprisingly, my wife was quite happy with them this time. The lobster was fresh and cooked to her liking — just like downtown. Second time was the charm, let’s see what happens on the third try… crossing my fingers.
As mentioned, two lobsters are around $ 30 in downtown Toronto but around $ 40 up here. Not sure why the increased cash grab but no two hours of driving and parking fees make up the difference.

Come here and get the lobster special for two! I looked around the tables around us and it seemed like this is the dish to get when you are here. It’s deep fried and seasoned with ginger and green onions, It’s super tasty, and it’s not wet/​saucy as it is commonly prepared at other chinese restaurants.
We also got their fried rice and seafood fried noodles. Both were not good in my opinion… Tasted very bland and seemed like the quality I would find in a messy home cooked meal. Just stick with the lobster.
The restaurant itself is quite nice to sit in, and feels very fancy! Great atmosphere for a group dinner.

We arrived on a Sunday lunch and there was barely anyone maybe because it was a long weekend.
We ordered lobster for two, fried with ginger and green onions. We loved the dish and thought it was a good deal for only $ 36! We also had Crispy Beef with orange peel, also very good with the perfect amount of sauce. Their yang chow fried rice was yummy. We got half of their house special fried chicken and I found it very tasty as well.
All in all, it was a great meal and i like that it was very reasonable as well.

Now this was my first time going to a Chinese lobster restaurant. I had been told by many people that I have to try it and that it was best to go in a larger group. My group was only 5 people but I think we held our own as we were able to eat everything that came out. Saying this, there is a a lot of food and to make sure that the price doesn’t get too ridiculous you need to have a large group. We had two orders of the deep fried lobster, shrimp with black bean sauce and a steak dish on a iron plate with plain white rice. Everything we got was large and it was a little intimidating when it first came to the table but after each bite I wanted to eat more and more because it was so good. I am one of those people who loves to talk while I am eating but I don’t think I said a word during the whole meal. I would like to try this place out again but with a
Bigger group. Reach out if you want to join our group?

Came here on 05/​12/​2015 for a belated Mother’s day dinner with my family. I say dinner, but we showed up around 5:00 p.m. after we all finished work as our family tends to eat a little on the early side.
The place was quite empty for this time (to be expected), but the décor was great and the place was clean, which I love. I can’t judge service properly, as it wasn’t very busy, but we got all the attention we needed. We had been to the downtown location several times and this was no different, service was good and food was great.
We ordered the Lobster in the Ginger and Onion style, which was delicious. The lobster was fresh, cooked perfectly and the seasoning was a great mix of salty and sweet (not too much so). We also ordered the Fujian Fried Rice, which is made slightly different here than others, but we all enjoyed it very much. The rice was cooked much better than your standard Chinese take-​out restaurant as we expected, and the familiar flavours were there in full. The last thing we ordered was a Straw Mushroom dish, we weren’t too fond of the slimy texture it had, but the flavour was good. I didn’t let this hurt the rating as I’m sure they executed the dish they way it is meant to, we just weren’t fans of it.
Will definitely be back, much closer than the downtown location. Definitely recommend this place for lobster.
Cheers!

Had to make an account just to review this restaurant. First it’s very nice inside. Now the food? Horrible. We ordered a fried rice –undercooked and felt like you were eating rocks. The noodle? Horrible. Insant noodle tastes better, it was again undercooked. The shrimp? All skin, you can’t even taste the meat. But the spring roll was allright (to be fair after the noodle and rice, mcdonald would have been high class) The soup was fine. Now the lady taking our order for take out was downright unprofessional, the way she was speaking and her attitude was unwelcoming. Ive been to hundreds of great restaurant around toronto and the world but my god this just was just ridiculously bad. Would never recommend to anyone at all, it was just too mediocre. Clearly this was my personal experience but other reviews on the internet was not that great — should have listened to them.

Today was my first time trying this second location. Their original location is located on Baldwin. Opened by the same owner. I loved everything about this new location. Their lobster were fresh, juicy and tasty! Aside from their lobster we also ordered the egg white fried rice with dried scallop, Cantonese chow mien, fried clams with black bean and the double fried green beans in spicy sauce. Overall they were all qui
The service was fast and really efficient. One of the waitress noted that they were short staffed but was still very attentive and came to our table to check on us several times.
The décor of this location was spot on. It was bright, clean and spacious. Definitely an upgrade from their downtown location. I think I will be coming here more often now.
