| - I rate this place **** 1/2 stars.
Sure it won't look like a highly rated restaurant from the outside (actually it doesn't look like it from the inside either) but when I get a craving for good hakka food that doesn't give me horrid stomach problems *cough**Lin Garden**cough*, this is the place I go!
Depending on how many people I am with, I usually order the Chili Crispy Beef, Chili Chicken, Chicken Pakoras, Manchurian Fried Rice, and occasionally the spicy calamari. When asked "spicy or mild?" I always get "extra spicy please!" and it brings a smile to the waitresses faces. But don't torture yourself if you can't handly spicy, I find that many of my friends find "mild" quite spicy already so don't overdo it or you'll miss out on the flavour.
I've been to almost all the frequented Hakka places in Scarborough, Markham and a few in North York. I think Kim Kim's has one of the best (if not THE best) Crispy Beef! Why? Because it's actually crispy!!! How many other places offer their soggy version of crispy beef and pass it off as authentic. Kim Kims doesn't mess around. Their chili chicken is good, though at times I find I'm eating more breading than chicken. Chicken pakoras are the bomb-diggity as well!
I love eating at this place with our group of 8-10, eating like Kings with more than enough food to go around, and getting the split bill of $7-8 PER PERSON! Yes...they split bills :)
My go-to place for cheap, delicious, no-nonsense Hakka food any day of the week. Too bad they close at 10pm though.
