Who doesn't love Hakka? Being one of my favorites, I was excited to read so many positive reviews about this place.
Located in a non descript strip mall on the north side of Steeles (so technically in Vaughan), you really have to search this place out. We visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and were the only patrons in the restaurant....but I imagine that during the week it would be fairly busy with people from the local businesses.
We ordered:
1) Chicken Pekora - flavorful, meaty, mildly spicy....they were excellent.
2) Hakka Chow Mein - spaghetti pasta tossed in spices, with chicken and a few veggies....I thought it was flavorful. Based on other reviews I was expecting something more interesting. Don't get me wrong..I enjoyed it..but the hype wasn't lived up to.
3) Chilli Chicken (dry) - spicy. I usually order this dish in sauce, but my dining companion preferred dry..so I can't compare it to other places I've had chilli chicken. I thought it was flavorful and really enjoyed it.
Portion size for all dishes was excellent...we brought food home.
Staff were friendly
Restaurant was spotless
Clean washrooms
Decor pretty bland
I'd visit again if in the area, but wouldn't do a special drive to return.
