| - A colleague recommended Tangerine Asian Cuisine for a work luncheon that I was organizing. Not being familiar with Hakka Cuisine, the staff were very helpful with answering all my questions because I wanted to make sure that I ordered food for a variety of tastes. After the luncheon, a lot of my staff came up to me to mention that they really enjoyed their meal. #success
Fast forward three weeks, I decided to drive out to Markham to try Tangerine myself on a Saturday afternoon. At the luncheon, I just mingled with everyone and didn't actually get a chance to try the food (it smelled pretty good though) so I wanted to see what all the hype was about. They have daily specials for under $10. Being n00bs to TAS, we ordered: beef w/ beans, honey garlic chicken, and pad thai. The portions are really big as the special comes with a spring roll, rice (a lot of it), and soup or a drink. Between the three of us, we shared all three dishes and ended up with a lot of leftovers to take home with no room left in our stomachs for dessert (or even dinner). Service was quite good; attentive and our server came often to ask how we were enjoying the food. The place is clean and has a number of tables that would be perfect for groups.
I would like to return and try other dishes. I live quite a ways from Tangerine so I'm not sure when I'll be back. However, if you're in the area and you're jonesing for a cheap eat with a group of people, consider this place.
Good for: Hakka Cuisine, groups, lunch
