China Garden has been a post airprot pick-up ritual with my family for the last 10 years. The food is just phenomenal and it's definitely the beat hakka chinese spot in the GTA. The only downside is their unattractive seating (avoid the washrooms) which is why I didn't give them a 5 star rating. If you're vegetarian and confused by the menu i've written my family's tried and loved menu; -large sweet corn soup (easily shared by 4) -chilli paneer with gravy - veg manchurian with gravy (upgrade to a deluxe for more veg and less carby manchurian balls) - egg fried rice It's heaven. read more

I used to come here a lot several years ago and I will admit , better hakka places have opened up. With that being said, this still remains one of the cheaper options and is still good food. Their veg manchurian and veg hakka noodles are pretty yummy and what you'd typically expect the dish to taste like read more

DO NOT EAT HERE. This place used to be a gem with some really great lunch specials but it has turned into nothing but a nightmare. The people running the place are rude,no sense of customer service or friendliness. They scam you with what they call a 10% dining charge which is not actually 10% it's more. The place is disgustingly dirty. The bathrooms are filthy and the food is horrible. All you can taste is salt. This place is just not worth it anymore. read more

I used to go a long time ago and fish pakodas (hot) were my favourite. I stopped by recently and ordered China Garden Special Fried Noodles with chicken, pork and shrimp. The taste is delicious. Their hakka food is well known. Was a little disappointed I could not order the fish pakodas coz I had no time. Takes about 20 minutes. Oh well, next time. read more

I would never recommend this place to anyone made me wait hr 20mins got uncooked shrimp pokoras and ordered Manchurian chicken chow mein with gravy and I got it dried when called to speak to them they telling me that is all they cook and no sauce with manchurian wow really bad service, quality of the food is garbage and no customer service at all save your money and find better place. Employees saying go ahead and right the review they don't care. read more

This restaurant is close to where my old office building was. We called this restaurant the company cafeteria because so many employees would flock over there for a cheap, filling lunch. I have eaten here a handful of times. I find the food to be okay. The chilli chicken is a whole lot of heat. I ordered the Hakka chicken chow mein and it was too greasy for my liking. On Friday, my manager had a huge craving for Manchurian fish (dry). He loves this place. I simply wanted a break from work, so I tagged along. I ordered the Manchurian chicken with hot and sour soup. My boss said that "[I was] going to die" because both items are spicy. I can actually take the heat. I don't do it too often. I am still alive. The hot and sour soup was good. There was a bit of heat. I wished that the mushrooms weren't canned ones. My Manchurian chicken with gravy dish came next. The spring roll was crispy and delicious. I rarely like them. My fish was spicy and flavourful. I was impressed. My manager was waiting to see my face turn red due to the spiciness of what I had ordered. It never happened. I also completely polished my plate. It was good. Perhaps I should stick with ordering this dish when I am here. It's pretty cheap ($8.99 plus tax) to have a good lunch. (87) read more

The quality of this restaurant has dropped tremendously over the years. Avoid this place if you expect customer service. They will never accept the fact that their food is not up to fat when presented with a concern or complaint. No refunds or exchanges or take backs for food that is not prepared adequately. read more

Another regular stop for me when I am in Toronto. No such food like this in Montreal so I need to get my Hakka fix!!! We normally order all the manchurian dishes, Dry and extra spice. I just cannot understand how they get the fish so tender and does not fall apart!! The food is so tasty that they must use some kind of enchanting drug to keep me going back for more!!! I already miss the place. This trip I went twice, once a group of 6 and then 10. read more

I am going to give China Garden a 5 star solely based on the taste of the hakka food. It is located in the green Plaza and has a very fast-food feel and is a little gem that has been there for as long as I can remember. The restaurant is not luxurious and the bathrooms are also not the cleanest but the taste of the food speaks for itself. If you ever go here on weekends they have an endless number of pick up orders and a packed restaurant. They have a seating area for families and chairs for waiting as well. I have to say that my favourite order of veggie manchurian with gravy (extra spicy) is always consistently great. It is a big portion- about 13 dollars and comes with green chillies, hot sauce and soy sauce packets as well as a bowl of rice. I also do get the chop suey on occasion and it is also delicious. This is by far the best hakka food I have tasted anywhere. read more

I had heard about this place for a while and as some of the responses had been good most of them weren't. I decided to try it it for myself and to be honest it wasn't that great. I wouldn't say that I am a Hakka expert, but I have eaten a lot of it in my time. There was nothing special about this place as their food was below bar and the restaurant itself was kind of grungy. With so many better places around I would recommend that you go to Wok n Roll which is across the street. read more

I went yesterday with my family, have been coming here for years, but the last 2 times were literally bad, the place has really gone downhill from its glory days of line ups out the door.. My only guess is that the cook has changed, a cook for any restaurant is the main driver. I always order the same thing, as there only specialty is Chilli Chicken Dry. There was to much ginger in which i left the plate more than half after getting immediate heart burn. This was the only dish that really made the restaurant, as the interior decor is way outdated and grimy. I will never go back. read more

Probably the best Hakka food in the entire GTA. My family and I dine-in or do take out from here often. We do always order the same thing. Chili chicken with gravy, veggie Chow Mein, hot and sour soup. These dishes are 10/10. We have tried the garlic chicken and schezuan chicken but find the sweetness levels to be inconsistent. Sometimes it's good and other times too sweet. We also ordered the chicken wings for the first time. It was actually similar to tempura but not really what we were looking for. We definitely wouldn't order the chicken wings again. In terms of dining in, the place is pretty shabby, still clean though. Portion sizes are always good. All the chicken dishes come with white rice. Service is mediocre but the food is great. read more

Delicious foods, casual atmosphere. Good Lunch Specials. Going back again and again.

This place is amazing. Bro I fought my friends over this place. I fought them so we could eat here. The chef was pretty cool. Man started talking like us. Left him a tip of pokemon cards (that stunfisk doe). read more

If you enjoy spicy Asian food, this is the place. It's great! I'm always amused at the long lines that form here during lunch hours. Don't let the interior decor of the place fool you; it's the food and prices that will have you coming back for more. Service is prompt. Their system works. Order at the front, pay, wait (about 10-15 minutes), and then you'll have pipping hot Hakka food brought to your table to be enjoyed! Tip: try the chili chicken and Hakka beef chow mein, it's far better than what's across the street on Airport Road (i.e. Asian Wok n' Roll among the other saturated Hakka places in the one-strip plaza that exist there). There are many other options on their lunch menu; many of which I have yet to try. Minus a star as they only take cash and credit only, and not debit. read more

I have been a couple of times to China Garden for lunch on a recommendation from a co-worker. They have great lunch specials at $6.99 and $7.99 which include a pop or soup. The portions are huge, so come hungry! They are known for their chili chicken or manchurian chicken. It has got a bit of kick. Service is quick, you will get your meal within 5 minutes of ordering. Lunch time gets busy, so get there early. They only take cash or credit card, no debit. It is a good lunch spot in the Airport Road area if you looking for chinese/hakka style cuisine. read more

Went for lunch. After eating the server bring the bill adding 10% sevice charges without asking or confirming. One of worst place to spend your money. I will never go sgain. When asked for my money back 10% response wss its our policy. No where in store or on means its mentioned there will be a %10 extra charge on top of menus price. read more

Hakka craving? Don't go to a place that spells it "Haka" all over their menu. Yep, this is it. I ordered take out, and if you ask me, that's the only way to go about it. Sitting in for a meal would be depressing - this restaurant is small, and not the cleanest. Some of the other hakka restaurants around fair better as a dine-in option. I am used to some of the best Hakka restaurants around Mississauga, so when it came to price and portions, and although the reviews are a rage, I wasn't impressed. China Garden is priced higher than the usual Hakka cuisine. And portions are comparable to any other Hakka restaurant; maybe even a tad less. My order: 1. Manchurian Chicken (Mild, gravy) - I don't know what the hell this was but it definitely wasn't Manchurian. The Manchurian I am used to is a lot darker; this was a light brown mess. However, it didn't taste as bad as it looked. 2. Schezwan Chicken (Hot) - My Mom loved it. But then, she likes anything spicy. I didn't try it (don't eat spicy), but my Mom recommends this as the spicy lover's Hakka go-to. 3. Mixed Hakka Chow Mein - Noodles with pork, shrimps and chicken; this was delicious. Probably the best I've had in a while. My chicken orders came with steamed white rice. The packaging for the chow mein and steamed rice was perfect. They gave me little containers of vingegar, soya and chilli sauce. The containers for the chicken were not as neat. The schezwan chicken spilled all over the plastic bag. Would I come back? Probably not. read more

Me and two other friends were in the Airport Road area last night and decided to visit China Garden to grab some dinner. We went in for about 7pm and the place was a lot emptier than I have ever seen it. Usually it is a lot more packed at lunch time. At first glance the decor in this place is scarce if present at all, and you'll certainly be wondering if this place has passed their past health inspections as the restaurant is a little worn down (floors, chairs, tables, etc). It seems pretty obvious that the people that dine here are not here for the ambiance, they are here for the food. We ordered the Manchurian Chow Mein Noodles, Vegetable Pakora, Chilli Paneer and Chilli Chicken. All three dishes came with rice in individual bowls that we didn't have to order on the side or were charged extra for. I appreciate that, as many places don't have the courtesy of doing this. The dishes came in very generous portions so ordering one plate of a dish between four people is generally enough. The service here was pretty good as well, the servers take note of you as soon as you walk in and are ready to take your order momentarily. Our food came to our table in under 10 minutes and was piping hot! The only reason they do not get a full five stars is because of the state of their washrooms. As soon as I stepped foot in there I decided that maybe I could wait until I got home. The place look unsanitary, which was really frustrating. If you are in the airport road area, go in for some hot and spicy Hakka food! Just try to steer clear of the washrooms! read more

Decor is a bit bland but you come here for the food! Ordered the Manchurian mixed Chow mein and Shrimp Pakora. Both were huge portions and excellent flavour, heat and texture! I saw many other people ordered what looked like the Chilli Chicken which is what I will try on my next visit. You know a place isn't joking around when they have the hot peppers in vinegar + red chilli hot sauce for you to zip up your meal on the table! Hakka food all the way! read more

This was my go to Chinese Hakka place, especially for chilli chicken until I discovered Asian wok and roll. Although this restaurant has amazing dishes, I started to notice the chicken in the chilli chicken had more crispy and crunchier pieces and some didn't even seem like proper chicken pieces. What a rip off and the fried rice had a burnt taste to it. The atmosphere in this restaurant is really old school. read more

Hakka is not a part of my diet. It's just one of those things I crave from time to time, and the next day swear will never consume again. Regarding this restaurant: Cult Favourite. Family favourite. If you ask any Indian person about this restaurant. odds are, they will have some very good things to say about it. I've tried numerous Hakka food restaurants in and around Toronto, and have yet to meet one that is as good as China Garden. As others have mentioned, the most popular dishes here are Chili Chicken, and Manchurian Chicken. Vegetarians will not be disappointed either. The Veg Manchurian is really good. The establishment itself is nothing to rave about; but who really cares if the food is this good? The quality of service fluctuates. At times, way off. Go for the food! read more

Every time I come to a Hakka restaurant, I always order the chili chicken. The chicken here was okay at best. The sauce was alright, but the chicken wasn't really that tender. However, my coworker told me to try their chili fish the next time and I'm glad I did. It had a generous amount of fish, and tasted quite good, much better than the chicken imo. The decor is pretty old, but oh well. read more

Been coming here for years. Best chili chicken hands down. Some like it wet, I love it dry. Manchurian chicken and fish good too. Though hot and sour soup is not too consistent every time I've gone. read more

This is my go-to spot got Hakka cuisine. Although the restaurant itself isn't appealing as others, I can definitely vouch for the food. I normally get chilli shrimp with gravy and Cantonese chowmein. Both dishes are yummy. I would definitely suggest this spot if you're feeling for something spicy. read more

Been on the search for Hakka in Toronto. My first experience here was sometime in September 2016 and I really had no desire to try them again. It just was not good. Since then I've tried various Hakka places but none deserved a second visit. This past Saturday my husband got to pick where we got dinner and chose to try China Garden again. I'm so glad I was out of vetos! The food was absolutely fantastic. I've finally found my Hakka restaurant! Recommendations: chili okra, chili chicken, Szechuan beef: read more

This place is a criminally underrated Hakka restaurant that's truly a hidden gem in the GTA just across from Pearson Airport. The place itself is a bit beaten up and the service is fairly average but the food is crazy good. The Pad Thai is easily the best in the city for the price, the Manchurian Chicken, Ginger Beef and Chicken Chop Suey are fantastic. Heck I'd say almost everything on their menu is worth buying especially for portion sizes not even mentioning the fantastic quality! Surprised this place is only a 3.5 stars because it's easily worth more then that for the food alone! Definitely give it a try even if it's for the lunch specials alone which are very reasonable! read more

My favorite Hakka restaurant by far! The food here was amazing and very authentic. Would definitely recommend to anyone that loves Hakka food or is trying out the cuisine for the first time! read more

Love, love, love this restaurant! I agree with others comments about the decor being a little less than desirable but I am not particular about that stuff! Good food is enough for me! If you decide to go, Shrimp Pakoras are a must have, but make sure you cut it in half first and let some steam out or you will suffer a burnt palate and the rest of your meal will suffer! After the Shrimp Pakoras, Hakka Noodles and Manchurian anything (chicken, fish, etc.) are my recommendations! Yummmmm! They offer 10% off take out orders over $10, I believe. read more

The best chili chicken in the GTA. I've tried so many and none compare to China Garden. I usually order take out so I can't comment on the service, and the location/decor are not at all impressive. But the food is amazing. I always get chili chicken white meat only (for a couple dollars extra), and a veggie roll, which has good flavour but is sometimes over fried. Highly recommended. read more

I've heard much about this place but the food was average. I got the veggie chowmein and the chilli paneer (cottage cheese) and even though both tasted just okay, they were very greasy and heavy. The portion sizes are really good for the price, so for those that crave this sort of Hakka food, this might be a good spot! I don't think I loved it as much to go back though.. read more

My family and I were getting ready to head home and we decided to go to the China Garden Restaurant. We ordered the chicken corn soup, the chicken pakora, and the Manchurian beef. The soup was very good, as it is one of my favorites and something I always order whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant. The chicken pakora was very good as well. The manchurian beef lacked what we were hoping for and has forced me to give it a 3 Star. This was an okay experience and I might come back. read more

Tried China Palace for the first time with a group of friends. The food never disappoints you. We got the Bombay Chicken, Mandarin Chicken, as well as Hakka Noodles. It was the first time trying these dishes. I can't compare this to Mandarins but it is really close. read more

I went there as someone recommended me. I found this restaurant hyped for no reason. Thick round, chewy noodles, Manchurian balls were hard. Bad service, waitress don't make eye contacts, you have to sometime stand and place your order. There are so many other better Hakka places, I won't go at China Garden again! read more

The food here is to die for. The flavours are immaculate. I crave to eat your munchurian and hot and sour soup everyday. The munchurian is just the perfect amount of crunchy and the ratio of munchurian to gravy is perfect. The soup is just SO GOOD, and all of that with a side of fried rice, noodles, or sheshwan vegtables is amazing. My family has ben coming here since before i was even born and there is no other hakka Chinese food restaurants with such good food. Not even the other locations of this franchise compare to this specific location. The staff members are friendly to costumers and i always leave satisfied and i truly believe that there is never going to be a day i will leave upset. If this place ever closes down, my heart will have an empty space in it because i honestly feel like the food here completes me. read more

This place is great for chili chicken! The other dishes that we have tried are okay, standard hakka style dishes. The shining star truly is the chili chicken. We usually order the the chili chicken in two ways, 1. Chili chicken - with gravy, regular (in regards to spice). This is then served over rice/with a side of rice. It's pretty good if you enjoy gravy. 2. Chili chicken dry (meaning no gravy) mild. This is similar in flavor to the "regular chili chicken" but crunchy pieces around the edges. They also give you aside of rice, but with it dry you don't really need the rice as much. Both good. We also get the special hakka chow mein in vegetarian. The noodles are soft and delicious! The place is not by any means fancy. There are quite a few tables but the place does get packed at lunch and dinner hours. If giving an honest opinion; the place is best for take out. read more
