Cheap, mediocre Chinese food in a clean restaurant run by nice, attentive people.
Our high Yelp-review-based hopes for the place faltered a bit when we saw the tables set with knives and forks....and our hopes sank a bit more when our request for chopsticks was answered with the cheap wooden takeout variety...but we gave it a go to see what the Hakka style was all about.
We tried a variety of starters and shared a Hakka main. All in all, everything was perfectly mediocre, and generally either bland or too sweet.
Mango salad: Not bad, but I found the sugared peanut topping to be gritty and unnecessarily sweet.
Onion pancakes: Okay...nothing special.Much thinner and flatter (and less oniony) than what I've seen in other places.
Manchurian style chicken: Deep fried and covered in a thick sauce. (Menu fail: We didn't expect - and really didn't want - deep fried.)
Masala fried rice: Heavy on the frozen veggies, light on flavour.
If you're used to Chinatown fare and looking for that great little place in an obscure strip mall, keep on looking!
