| - This was our first time trying Hakka. As everyone else mentioned, the (dry) chili chicken was delicious. It really was the perfect amount of spice - barely got my nose sniffly. I would say it was the best dish. We also got schezuan beef. The dish was unique, but it wasn't for me. I am not a huge fan of super saucy dishes, and the flavour itself wasn't for my taste. On an unbiased note, it was definitely different and unique compared to regular schezuan beef. Lastly, we ordered the Hakka chicken chow mein. It was nothing out of the ordinary, tasted like regular chow mein to me. I liked it though.
On an unbiased note, the dry chili chicken and the schezuan beef definitely stood out the most.
On a personal/preference note, I liked the dry chili chicken the best, and also the hakka chicken chow mein.
In terms of service, the waiter was courteous enough. I did notice a smile/smirk as we ordered food - did he think we were ordering too much? What's with the smirk? I wouldn't say it was a snooty smirk, but watch your expressions - some people know how to read facial expressions.
Also, we noticed a 10% service charge on the bill. We did the calculations later and it was not 10% off for paying cash. We are not sure if it was because we took the rest the food to go, or if it was an automated 10% tip.
Overall, the food was better than the service we received (mainly due to the smirk and the confusing 10% charge). We may come back for the chili chicken and try some new items, but overall, we will try other hakka restaurants to see what's out there.
