| - Went back for lunch, apprehensive this time as I seem to have a track record of loving the first visit and then a total fail on the 2nd.
This time I ordered the "lunch special" Manchurian chicken which is my go to Hakka meal, it came with white rice, spring roll and choice of pop or soup for $8.95. I had the corn chicken soup which was safe and no spice, however, it was tasty. The Manchurian chicken was great! decent amount of spice not overly hot, breading was still in tack and some pieces were crispy despite being a saucy dish, no cartilage and freshly made.
I found the portion size I was given not large as others reported, I would say the size served was average. I feel $8.95 was on the steep side for this lunch special, most of the time this dish goes for 5.95 in most Scarborough Hakka establishments and I usually can't finish the plate. Substitutes were available for extra, I did not participate since adding to the already inflated price was not in my interest. If you are with a few people who enjoy the same, I would suggest ordering off the regular menu, seems a better value since most main dishes already include the rice.
As far as service, again no issues, they even came over to ask how everything was and if we needed anything else. Did not have any of the other issue my fellow Yelpers had in the past. Overall, I think this place is a hidden gem, Hakka in Vaughan! Who would have thought this was possible. I think I finally found my go to Hakka place out of Scarborough!
