HAKKA KING

This is a mom and pop restaurant that is on the plaza across from Costco.
The service at this place is really slow because there is only one staff (aside from the kitchen chef). The staff had to take orders, clean up tables, pick up phone orders and bringing out the checks. It is very inefficient and a normal lunch on a weekend can take you more than 2 hours (for just 2 dishes).
The good thing about this place though is that it is very cheap. If you combine with a Groupon, you will be only paying minimal amount for 2 people.
The food are mostly Chinese, with Indian style spices to generate Hakka food. Though, there is too much sauce in this dish, so your noodle is pretty much soaked with sauce.
I wouldn’t recommend going to this place unless you don’t mind the wait and you want something really cheap.

Ordered take-​out on Sunday evening. The Bombay Chicken is very good — will definitely come back for this dish again, 5 out of 5. The Manchurian Veggie Fried Rice is good. Portion is generous.

It takes courage and strategy for a small, independent Hakka restaurant to locate just a few steps next to Federick’s.
A Unilocaler invited my BF and I to have lunch at Hakka King last Saturday. The Hakka food here is different from Federick’s. In all, I find the food spicier than Federick’s. I liked the Chicken Pakora the best. The exterior was slightly hard to the bite without a thick crunchy coat. The Fish in Szechuan Sauce didn’t taste like fish, because the spicy sauce was overwhelmingly spicy. The stir fried noodle tasted average. The Vegetable Balls was the strangest. I could not tell the balls were made of vegetables. I think that the food strategy of Hakka King is to make its Indian Chinese food more Indian than Chinese. You will like it here if you like spicy Indian food. Also, portion is generous.
The dining room was quiet during our visit. There were our table and another table only. In other words, services was good, and food came out fast. I noticed that there were quite a few take out orders, though.

3.5 stars for Hakka King
the portions are big which is good. food also tastes good. although my chilli chicken was a little bit on the salty side.
if you cant handle heat, this may not be the place for you. Service was good and attentive. If you do a survey at the end of your meal, they will email you a coupon.

I am a huge fan of Fredericks. This place really caught me off guard. After reading bad reviews of service, it was really good. The place filled up after 7 so we got here just in time.
The General Tao Fish wasn’t red sweet and sour but more authentic with red chili’s. Flavor was on point. I could have eaten that by itself.
The chicken 88 has Malay flavor. Not too spicy so we emptied the chili jar on our table but the flavor was nice.
The Manchurian tofu and veg was just deep fried tofu with broccoli, baby corn, boc chui, carrots, onions in a soy base but style tasted bland. The other dishes made it up.
I am eager to explore this place some more. Highly recommended.

I really like Chinese luncheon specials with my favourite Hot and Sour soup and chicken /​rice entre. It was a mistake to come here. The food had minimal taste and the soup was a major disappointment.
Service is minimal. Never will I return.

I have ordered from then once online and the food tasted good. What turned me off is when I tried to order them for a second time online on a separate occasion. Just like the last time my friends and I ordered a couple of items to have it delivered to our address and waited approximately 30 – 40 minutes. After waiting we decided to call them to see why it was taking so long to have them tell us that we clicked ‘pick up’ and the food was ready. We were then told it would take an additional 20 minutes to arrive, which then turned into an hour wait. It became evident that either the website was having an error or they did not realize the order until we called and needed to cook and deliver it. It was poor customer service to try to blame the customers for their fault and the food is not worth the lacking customer service.

Will definitely go back with a Groupon deal, not sure if I would for regular price. The food does the job if you are craving hakka food. The service was great, staff were extremely friendly and bathrooms were clean (if you care).

Worst Chinese food I ever had.
I eat Chinese food 5 — 8 times a month.
Went to this place with family. Ordered 2 appetizers and 5 entrees. Every single item we ordered was either burst or under cooked. Sent three dishes back to the kitchen to cook the shrimp more because they were raw.
The food had NO taste whatsoever.
I complained to our waitress and commented to her that this was the worst Chinese food I ever had. Her response was «our Chef quit and the person cooking in the kitchen is not very good at cooking Chinese food»
I commented to the waitress why are you guys serving this kind of food to your customers and charging for it when you know it is no good? In her response she just shrugged her shoulders.

It’s tasty deep fried food no doubt. We order tAke out from here too. I’d love some fresher/​healthier options. The chilli paneer is good and has this really spicy red sauce.
What would make takeout more better is fortune cookies: p

Came here with a groupon.
I’d never heard about Hakka Chinese before coming to Toronto, and this is actually my only 2^nd time having it, so I’m by no means an expert. I did think that this place is pretty comparable to Frederiks
I liked the food. My favorite was the chicken pakora. Dishes are about $ 8-​$ 12 and are pretty big. I think they come with rice. I think the value was good, even without the groupon.
It’s pretty small (just a few tables), and is more casual than Frederiks.
10% discount for takeout (not sure whether you need a coupon for this or not).

Excellent food. Generous portion. The chilli shrimp (dry style) comes with huge shrimp and lots of it. A steal for only $ 12. Must try. Amazing. Food taste very good. The spicy dishes are satisfying.

Went with a friend as everyone raves about this place. We shared Kung Pao Chicken, Szechuan Beef and the Mixed Manchurian Fried Rice. Spicy and fresh, but low quality meats. The beef was quite chewy. Also, tried to ask about ingredients, as my friend has a gluten sensitivity. They had no clue what I was talking about. Overall, I’ve had better.

Delicious hakka chinese food.
We had Chili chicken, fish pakoras, singapore rice noodles. The fish pakoras were light and crispy, singapore rice noodles were delicious, chili chicken was nice also although I thought the batter coating on the chicken was a bit hard. The spice was perfect.
Overall we enjoyed the food even more than Fredericks. Staff was friendly and since we went for early lunch it wasn’t busy. Will come again!

I ordered Vegetable Hakka balls and vegetable chow mein, the quality was at par with Fredericks (my usual Hakka spot) which is located a few doors down. If you want to avoid a long wait at Fredericks for a seat on a Saturday night then just walk over here.
3 stars because I wanted a glass of white wine — they had bottles on display and bottles in the fridge. He kept telling me he can’t serve me wine for 2 hilarious reasons: the first being he didn’t know «how to prepare white wine» and the second «the bottle isn’t opened yet!». Seriously?!

Food was OK (Bombay chicken, chicken fried rice, and Manchurian beef), was dissapointed on a Sunday night where we were told our food was going to take 20 minutes. We were willing to wait, however it was disappointing to find out that we couldn’t order any Pakoras or appetizers due to having one chef that day and they can’t make them, I suppose due to the many orders. The place was fairly busy too so we were waiting for our food for longer than 20 minutes. Waitors tried their best but only filled one of the three cups (there was three of us), then we had to ask for more water. We tried to flag down a waitor for our bill.

Good quality food and taste amazing. Better than fredrick or any other hakka restaurant in Toronto.

The food quality is amazing with a good taste. The service was good as well. The restaurant was clean. I really recommend this restaurant to try. For sure I will go back to eat there when I am around the area.

Received their flyer order in the mail this week and decided to give it a go… I immediately liked the call in experience. The person who answered the phone was helpful and knowledgeable.
The order arrived in under 40 minutes and the food was great! Big shoutouts for the chicken pakora and chili chicken… so good!!!
As to the level of spice it’s low if you are used to hot indian food. If you are a fake hot food eater stick to the 1 pepper dishes. They do provide extra chilies which are nice. They’re the green thai chilies I think… not very hot to me but flavourful.

Hmmm Hmmm taking the gamble of ordering Hakka King over Fredericks paid off well.
This small unit is well laid out, clean, and their service is up to my standards. You’d be surprised to hear that they have special promotions every week. For example, if you purchase one order of Chili chicken ($ 8.95) you get the second for $ 5!!! It’s essentially a sweet deal that no one can refuse. Another promotion that Hakka King has available is their $ 30 gift card that entitles you to $ 50 worth of food.
We had to make a quick pit stop for more food, so it was a no-​brainer to try out their dry chili chicken. This dish was a solid ⁴⁄₅. Just be sure to advise them to make your order mild as their spicy can get REALLY SPICY.
The Portion, price & quality was worth it and I’ll be back to try some of their popular dishes.
