| - Danforth Dragon has brought the fiery fusion of Indian-Chinese Hakka cuisine (a spicy take on traditional Chinese food that includes the flavours of coriander, chilies and curry) to diners in the Pape & Danforth area since 1999.
Complete with the kitschy decor you'd expect, the Dragon creates a serene oasis for Hakka food-seekers. I've only ever ordered take-out, but regardless of time, day or night, there are always plenty of dine-in customers.
Overall, the dishes are full of flavour, especially if you like a little spicyness with your Chinese food. Personal favorites include the chicken pakoras (succulent pieces of meat mixed with Indian spices & delicately deep-fried), crispy ginger chicken (small chicken bites lightly battered & fried, seasoned with stir-fried garlic, ginger and hot chili, if desired) and the always delicious Szechuan chow mein (thick noodles stir fried with chicken, shrimp, shredded onions, carrots, cabbage, green onion & bean sprouts).
Danforth Dragon is located at 861 Danforth Avenue (@ Danforth and Jones).
