Our Story

Four Decades on Hamilton Ave

For 40 years, Chung Ching has been a College Hill fixture — run by Joyce and her chef husband, serving the kind of consistent, made-from-scratch Chinese cooking that keeps families coming back across generations.

It's not flashy, and that's the point: a warm dining room, a pot of hot tea, and Szechuan classics done right, every time.
