Jing Chinese Restaurant

One of the best Chinese restaurants in Midtown. I took my in-laws for a birthday celebration, and they thoroughly enjoyed the food. The Peking duck was delicious—tender and crispy. Just a heads-up, they do charge an extra fee for the additional wraps. Be sure to ask about their daily specials; they offer limited but authentic dishes. We also ordered the sweet and sour fish, which was tasty as well.nnI can tell this is already a neighborhood favorite—we arrived at 6 pm on a Thursday, and the place quickly filled up. However, it can get pretty loud in the hall.nI can't wait to go back and try more options.

I’ve heard plenty of people in my circle and on my FYP rave about the Peking duck and Chinese food. However, I thought it was just okay—the duck was a bit dry. Personally, the rice and noodles didn’t have much flavor. I did enjoy the sweet and sour fish, though. The service was great, and I had no issues with the staff. They were super attentive and nice to chat with.

Small restaurant specializing in Peking Duck. Went for their half price special: $49.nnThe duck is carved in front of you by the wait staff. Duck was tasty without feeling too oily. There was more duck than there was wrapping. It comes with 6 crepes. With other places, you get about 10-12 crepes. Even though extra wraps can be ordered for an additional fee, I feel like this is a money grab.nnSame thing can be said for the Hot & Sour soup. Portion was child-size for an adult price. It tasted like your average food court fare.nnParking can be challenging. You’ll have to scout ahead of time for the parking lots scattered around the area.

Weeknight dinner with three friends. Love the cocktail options. The seafood vegetables were great. The squid was nice and tender, not overcooked. I recommend it. The Peking duck was on special, and it is great value right now. It is very considerate that the crepes are separated with steamer paper to make it easier to pull apart, and faster for me to get the food in my belly. The duck skin was crispy, and the meat was tender and juicy. It's also fun to watch the duck get carved up table-side. I parked at the nearby Green P because I hate parallel street parking on Bayview. You can max out for the evening at $5, and it's just a 5 min walk away, which is also nice to do after a large meal.

Had lunch here twice now. Both times ordered the Peking duck special. Both times it did not disappoint.nnThe hot and sour soup is excellent. The mango salad, vegetable spring rolls and pork/chive dumplings are also very good.nnThe lunch specials are good value and come with 2 side dishes and jasmine tea. We’ve tried the lemon fish and rice noodles hofun so far. The fish is better than the noodles. The rice noodles was too hard for my liking but the flavour is good.nnThe decor is lovely and the service is good. In terms of dessert, the sesame red bean balls are yummy. I wouldn’t recommend the mango sago though. It had no sago, just jelly and it’s overly sweet, for $10 it’s not worth it in my opinion.nnOverall, I would recommend this restaurant for the Peking duck and hot and sour soup.
