re: JonasBrand
I agree that some of the joints listed here - Asian Legend and Yueh Tung, to be specific - do good hot and sour, though Asian Legend's version can be mediocre occasionally (I guess it depends on who's stirring the pot in the kitchen that day). But the tastiest I've run into the past six months or so is at a Thai place, Thai Plate, on Bathurst St. north of Lawrence. A bit more expensive than some of the remarkably cheap spots listed here, but you get a big, big bowl of hearty, zingy, perfectly-balanced soup.

And possibly even more famous for my worst meal of 2008.

re: piccola
Piccola, yes, tell you the original Ho King on Dundas St. was great, only been a couple times to the New and worked well after some real Blues Music up at the Silver Dollar, been awhile Lazy Lester, then Bobby Blue Bland --- nothing bland about the New Ho King, a group can appreciate the frood!

re: miranda
This was my favourite too, but then the one near Dundas/Spadina stopped shredding the chicken and left it as little chunks - not nearly as good as when they were shredding it :(
There's a Chinese restaurant at the corner of Baldwin and McCaul which has really cheap hot and sour soup that I actually found to be quite good (I think the small container was about $3 and it was enough that I could either eat it all at once, or split into two portions). This became my favourite for a cheap hot and sour soup fix - you don't get as many interesting fillings, but I liked the consistency and flavour.

Although it's a veggie option, to this day, my favourite hot and sour soup is the one at King's Cafe in Kensington Market. It never ever failed to satisfy my cravings (or colds).
