Best Hot & Sour Soup downtown?

Tremendous has such a weird vibe once the bars let out.

There's almost an air of menace in the room; all those drunks and no more alcohol!

you gotta look at them square in the eye and say.. 'cold tea?' It's all in the delivery. After that, the heineken flows, my friend.

What's the shady restaurant north of city hall at dundas west of university? I used to go there every weekend until it got overrun with gangsters and they started to have regular shootings.

anyway, they have AMAZING hot and sour soup.

ever since i started going there years ago its always swarmed with on duty po-lice, getting take out.... funny thing, that.

also the food is typical northamerican chinese food but on the whole, imo tastes better then swatow.

Tonight I had a H&S soup at Kom Jug Yeun as recommended ^. It was quite good; thick but not slimey, hot and sweet. Lots of stuff in it: shrimps, BBQ pork, tons of tofu. $4 for a decent sized bowl. I give it baconpan baconpan baconpan baconpan out of 5

Next I will try that place near City Hall.

i had a big bowl of jampong last night at ka chi in chinatown.

baconpan baconpan baconpan out of 5

a bit of a meh.
it was just not as flavourful as some of the others in little korea
[i'm looking at you, thumbs up.]

thick chewy noodles, but not the best texture. the broth was just ok, though spicy as fuck.
they do give a ton of little side dishes and refilled mine without asking, which earned them an extra baconpan

That place is awesome. Cops go there all the time, and it is constantly packed weekends overnight. The hot and sour soup there is so quite nice. And tasty. Also recommend the spicy squid -- it's NOT calamari!

Just made a batch. Tastes great. Mushrooms, bamboo, tofu, egg and I'm gonna put in grilled chicken tomorrow once the flavours mature.

But so far, so good. Used 3 kinds of vinegar and homemade chili flakes that are KILLER spicy.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Nice one! Perfect for a chilly night, even better if you feel a cold coming on, that shit will clear your sinuses proper!

Shrimp and Scallop Sczehuan (s.p.?) sizzling hot plate at Rol San is a treat as well.

Ugh, second day H&S is so good. Steamed some Shanghai bok choy and topped the soup today.

Next time, I'm adding lily buds, less tofu, shrimp and shredded bbq pork.

My favourite spot closed down this year. RIP Lucky Dragon with their wonderful h&s soup and one of the most amazing dishes I've ever had: general tao's vegetarian chicken.
Anyone happen to know another restaurant that serves this? Deep fried tofu is the lick.

I recently had some h&s soup at Spring Rolls and it was garbage. I don't like green veggies in that soup.
Definitely going to try a lot of places mentioned in this thread.
