| - This is one of our go-to's for Hakka. The others being Faley's (also on Overlea) and Chili Chicken House in Mississauga.
The food here is good - some of our standards are Chili Chicken (dry); Crispy beef; Chili paneer (dry); Hakka noodles; and spicy green beans. Quality has been fairly consistent throughout our many visits.
We have noticed, however, that we get terribly thirsty after our meals, and attribute this to the use of MSG. Fortunately, we do not get any severe reactions to MSG, but would prefer our food to be MSG-free, so we do not eat here often.
The restaurant is busy, so we sometimes order take-out instead, but even this requires a bit of a wait. We have found that if we place our order just when leaving home (downtown), by the time we get to the restaurant, it is typically ready for pick-up depending on how congested the DVP is. For dining in, service is efficient. They have limited staff, so even when a table is freed up, it takes time for them to clear the tables. But the wait is worth it.
