Our story

A neighbourhood Chinese kitchen that has been here forever

Hi-Ball Restaurant has sat on Academy Road, in the heart of River Heights, for so long that regulars measure the years in takeout orders. We cook traditional Cantonese-Canadian food — deep-fried starters, noodle and rice plates, chop suey and combination dinners — the same way we always have, in portions built for sharing. Nothing fancy, just food you know is going to be good, whether you eat in, pick it up, or have it delivered.

My wife and I live in River Heights and Hi-Ball is our ‘go to’ Chinese restaurant. The food is invariably excellent and the portions very generous.
