| - Stopped by for lunch today, been wanting to try HB's for a while, glad I did!
First impressions, walked in, decor was neutral however the plastic tear away table cloths and spiral bulbs hanging off the ceiling demonstrated that it was done on the cheap.
Looked over the lunch specials, choices were Menu A for $5.95 and B for $6.95, both had choice of pop, spring roll and soup, upgrade to fried rice was an acceptable $1.50. We ordered the Manchurian chicken and Szechwan chicken.
Plates arrived and first thing I notice is the potion size, was definitely above average. Flavor on the Manchurian chicken was quite good, spice was perfectly balanced and the fried rice was a great combination. The szechuan chicken was more on the safe side and didn't have the usual veg and peppers that make it an exceptionally tasty dish.
Overall, HB's is definitely worth a try...good food, larger portion size and price makes it a great value and the flavors are on par with most Hakka places...so would I return? Yes! this place falls into the days I want to eat hakka to fill a hungry appetite without breaking the bank, and best of all, you don't have to drive to Scarborough for it!!
