| - I have not been to the other finch location so i cant compare to it, so instead i will compare it to the gold standard of hakka food, Yueh Tung on elizabeth street downtown.
Place looks nice, new and clean. High ceilings, nice decor. I went when it was not busy, around 11:00am. There was one dude there, and he told me there was some sort of big group at the back, and that my order will take a while. Wasnt too long though..
I got the chili chicken with steamed rice. Lunch special comes with a surprisingly good (but small) spring roll & bottle of water. Chili chicken itself was good, but just not at the level of Yueh Tung. Flavour was there, and color was good, but the texture wasnt quite right; it was too crispy, like it was over fried by a minute or two; it needs to be softer & more slimy; it was also a bit too spicy... I will try to tell them to tone down the spice next time. But overall was still good.
I would give the place a 3.5 if i could. Its not a 4 though... I will try some other dishes first before i reconsider.
