| - Whenever I go to a specific type of restaurant, I seem to have a particular food to judge whether I might like a place.
When I DimSum, it Ha-Gow. Pub-Wings. Italian - Penne Arrabiata. Steak - NY Strip. Sushi - California Roll...and Hakka...Chilli Chicken!
I haven't been to a Hakka place in a while. I used to go regularly to Wok of Asia when I was assigned to a long term project in the area. Now that I'm stationed near Hakka Bros., it was great to find this place.
As I mentioned, I like to try to the Chilli Chicken when I go to a Hakka place for the first time. Ordered the CC and Soup special - $5.95+tax.
The Hot and Sour soup was thick and a decent portion for a combo soup. However, though it had some heat, it didn't have any real flavour. Added a bit of salt and that helped.
The Chilli Chicken portion was generous. Not a lot of times that I don't finish my meal but I had to give up as I was going into a food coma! The chicken was moist and the batter was still crispy when served. It had nice heat with about the right amount of peppers. The rice however was a bit of a mess as it smelled off. The trials and tribulations of going there well after the lunch hour.
If I had to rank my CC experience, it would be Wok of Asia first, this a close second, Asian Garden, then Hakka 77...dead last...Hakka #1.
Nonetheless, this place is a good find. Without the Yelp App, it would have been another fast food lunch bag letdown. Probably back there even tomorrow to try the second dish I like at Hakka...General Tso-Toe-Tow-So-or whatever (they really need to figure out a standard way to spell his name!).
