Brand new Hakka restaurant that opened up just south of Dundas on Hurontario. Based on the rave reviews of Federick in Markham and Scarborough, I figured I had to visit this place considering it's only 5 minutes south of where I live.
I'm gonna get straight to the main point here.
FOOD: I'm not the biggest fan of Hakka so I ordered something slightly different which was the veggie ma po tofu and Singapore fried rice. The ma po tofu was good and the tofu was fresh and nice and silky, which is my fave type. I quite enjoyed this dish. As for the Singapore fried rice, it was basically like Singapore vermicelli but with rice. It wasn't amazing, but it was adequate. So I would say the food taste is around 3/5, however the prices are insanely cheap. The ma po tofu was only $6.50 and was huge, BUT included a huge bowl of rice too! Also, the Singapore fried rice was only $7.00. See pic - huge portion again. So I'm gonna add 0.5 stars for portion size. 3.5/5
Atmosphere: While I didn't eat in, it's very nicely decorated and while the outside is a bit run down (by no fault of theirs - just the area), you don't even feel like you are in a run down area. Very calming. 4/5
Service: can't comment on as I did not eat in. N/A.
Verdict: Pretty decent Hakka place.
