    Garlic chicken fried rice
    Kuniyasu M.

    Clean interior and nearly arranged. Like the ambience. Service was good and attentative. Favourite was def the pakora. Fish was soft and really tasty. Nicely seasoned. The suey was not my taste but not to the fault of the restaurant. It's dry noodles and vegetables drenched in hot and sour sauce. Lil bit too sweet and saucy. The garlic rice is savory. You get to choose spice levels for everything.

    Hot n sour soup
    Anushka C.

    We did a take out and ordered a medium spice for the food. We got chilli chicken fry, hot n sour soup and schezwan rice. They asked for 45 minutes which is fair for a Saturday night. However, my experience with the food was not that great, the soup was so spicy it could not be consumed, the rice was on the other extreme and absolutely bland. The saving grace was the chilli chicken. It is as expensive in terms of pricing as the next Hakka place, and there are so many which are so much better.

    Anybody who is from India and missing Indo-Chinese food, they must visit this place. Food is yummy and brings back the memories from India. We ordered schezwan noodles, monchow soup, chicken lollipops and shrimp chilly and everything was good. Will be visiting this place whenever I make a trip to Toronto!

    Indian-Chinese Food. Who would have thought that these two cultures would meet and create such delightful flavours. I've been running around various parts of the country and have tried the ubiquitous Chilli Chicken at every stop. I did notice that the ethnicity of the place really changes the expectations. On the Hill, Hakka places are run by Chinese and in Brampton and other areas, many are run by Indians. The flavours are different. The staff and cook at Everest are Indian background and one thing I know from previous experience is when they ask you how "hot" you want your food, you have to be careful. I'm usually adding hot sauce and peppers from restaurants on the Hill. I was ordering for a small project team. We will end up doing approx 20hours of straight work and after a so-so pizza lunch, we wanted something decent to keep us going into the wee hours. I ordered all the culprits - both dry and gravy chilli chicken, dry beef, some noodles, hot and sour soup...and others. I usually order the dry and gravy CC because I find that once you mix the two together, you get the perfect balance. Anyway...back to "how hot would you like it?" I said just normal, run of the mill, no one needs to get break out the Zantac level. I should have asked for the new-born taste bud level instead. My team had to drink lots of liquids to help get the food down. I can take the heat. I welcome the heat...BUT...if this is regular, than something got lost in the translation between regular and "break out the oven mitts and protective clothing!" When things are too spicy, it over powers the wonderful flavours of the food. The hot and sour soup was more HOT than needed to be. The Manchurian noodles were the spiciest of the bunch. I would try this place again, if I'm back on the lakeshore project. However, it's going to be mild + let me put in my own peppers going forward. Cheers.

    Tasty food.. loved the Desi Hakka Chinese flavors. Highly recommended when you crave Chinese

    Chili Chicken with gravey
    Shefali B.

    Cute little Hakka restaurant in Etobicoke, It honestly reminded me of the style of the authentic Hakka Chinese food you get in India. A little on the expensive side, but the food was phenomenal

    Meha M.

    First time in Toronto! Loved this place Hakka noodles, Manchurian and chilli veggies!

    Mixed Fried Rice (Chicken, Egg and Shrimp)
    John B.

    Tried the House Special Chicken Hakka noodles, Chilli Chicken (both dry and gravy), Chicken Singapore Noodles and Mixed Fried Rice. Very flavourful, loads of chicken, egg and shrimp in the dishes, very quaint restaurant with great customer service and fair prices as well (the quantity could be slightly more but it is still good). Overall, this is a great restaurant in a great location (has great trails at walking distance on the lakeside to take a stroll while waiting for your order). Highly recommended. PS - the pics were taken after eating most of it

    Small rice + spicy fried paneer in sauce
    Heather C.

    This place was DELICIOUS! We ordered the Cauliflower ?Gobi?, the fried paneer in spicy sauce and the fish pakoras. The Cauliflower was perfectly cooked and beautifully seasoned, the paneer had brispy dough on the outside with a spicy and flaourful sauce that went really well with the rice and the fish pakoras were hot and fresh with tender fish and perfect seasoning (and not overly battered like a lot of other places). Food was quick, but service was slow as there was only one man acting as host, server, and busboy. Even thought it's a little out of the way, I will DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK to try everything else they have to offer (and probably everything I ordered this time)!

    Not even filled to the box!
    SweetSango K.

    This place was a real disappointment! I'm surprised this has a 4 rating! We ordered food for delivery for 5 adults. The portions were so small! The Hakka noodles would probably feed 2 people as well as the rice and chili chicken. When we called the restaurant they were not helpful at all! We paid $80 for all the food! Not worth it! All I got was sorry we can't do anything for you. No customer service! Unbelievably terrible food, portions and service.

    Chilli chicken (dry), Schezuan shrimp fried rice
    Ahila D.

    Tried Everest Hakka House for the first time, and I have to say we were very happy with it. One of the best chilli chicken I've had; was nice and moist. The spice level were great on their Schezuan fried rice as well. Ordered Manchurian chicken as well, however was not a great fan. Overall, we truly enjoyed the food, and the wait time were reasonable as well. Will definitely go back for the chilli chicken and fried rice when we are in the mood for Hakka food.

    House special chicken noodles and chilly chicken dry
    Aditi R.

    Our go to place for spicy Hakka food. Everything is good here. We almost always order the house special noodles. They have 3 levels of "hotness", mild, medium and hot. They have a lot of vegetarian options as well. This place gets busy during dinner time and the window table with the couch seats are comfy and have a great view overlooking the street. The servers are friendly and there's popular music playing at all times. In all this is a perfect little place for weekend spicy Hakka cravings!

It opened late 2025 by two sisters from China who had run a successful restaurant for many year there. I was very impressed with it and predict there is a chance it gets on the Michelin Recommended List next year. Food (4.5/5) - there are two menus - lunch and dinner with many different options for mains, appetizers, desserts and their specialty - Jujupots stirfry claypot. Also a large selection of organic chinese teas. A la carte and also fixed price and family style combinations. Tried out the Daytime Menu: - Chicken Jujupot - boneless chicken leg with ginger bean chili paste, brussels sprout, green pepper, garlic, shallot, bell pepper, cilantro - spiced to your preference, served with your choice of green onion oil noodle or Wuchang rice. This was quite good - came out steaming in the claypot with nice flavours in the stirfry and items cooked perfectly. - Crispy Lace Potstickers - beef, onion, cheese, basil - two sizeable potstickers cooked just right so the juices spurt out when you bite into them. The cheese on top works really well with it. - Parma Ham Spring Rolls - parma ham, shredded egg sheet, bean curd, glass noodle, celery, shiitake, peppercorn served with the crispy lace attached. I thought these were just ok. Sizeable and not bad... crust was a bit on dry side. Service (5/5) - i can't find anything at fault and they exceeded expectations in all facets. From the friendly and prompt greeting at the door... to the helpful and knowledgeable explanations of the dishes and the background on the restaurant. Constant check-ins to see how things were going and an upscale treatment throughout. Guy on the other table was getting the organic tea and the server explained everything about the origin of the tea as she went through the proper steps to serve, steep, pour the tea for him... impressive! She was an excellent and professional server. Atmosphere (4.75/5) - they did a great job with the layout, decorations and attention to detail. Upscale and authentic feel to it, various different types of seating arrangements, layouts and rooms - ideal for couples and groups. Lot of little touches like the furniture, artifacts on the walls and even the design of chairs and their cushions. They even have an outdoor patio out front too. Overall (4.75/5) - I rarely give out ratings like this but believe this place deserves it. Definite repeat for me to try out more items, especially the dinner ones. Ideal to come in a group of 3-4 or more imo.

I've been coming here for decades and I had many fond memories when I lived in the area. The place is a medium size restaurant and looked exactly the same. The service as fast as usual. Usually there's a long line to get in but we got a table for four right away on a Sunday after 1pm. Then after we ordered our server offered us a larger table which we really appreciated. And glad we did because all the dishes were huge! We ordered to share: -Ginger Scallion Lobster -Shrimps in lobster sauce on rice -Cantonese Chow Mein -Fried squid -Spring rolls Everything tasted great and fresh but I wish the ginger scallion lobster tasted better. It wasn't the same as the one I had at another restaurant on Baldwin St. that closed many years ago. But it was still so nice to return to this iconic Chinatown restaurant.

Ordered my regular Stir Fried Beef rice noodle (lots of Wok Hei) and Fried bean curd with vegetables. Food came out great and tasted great. The only thing I did not like was when my mom barely finish they brought out the bill to rush us out. It wasn't that busy since it was after the lunch rush hour. The thing is when the bill came they overcharged us by a buck and we just decided to leave it be along with tipping them greatly. There was absolutely no interaction or even a thanks for stopping by and come back for more. This was my fave spot to eat whenever I'm craving for Chinese food, guess I will have to find something else. It's also cash only since they have an atm by the washroom entrance.

The posters outside caught my eye, and I decided to come back with a group of three friends to try it out. We came a bit late around 8 PM, and most of the fish were already sold out except the original. We ended up ordering the Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($40), a whole fish served bubbling hot with three toppings (potatoes, spam, and lotus root). You can choose between catfish and turbot, we chose the turbot fish. It looked extremely spicy, but the spice level was actually perfect. It was a bit on the oily side, but pairing it with rice balanced it out nicely. The fish was very tender and buttery, everything tasted amazing! We also ordered the Stir-Fried Egg with Tomato. The eggs were soft, the tomato sauce was rich. Not to mention the portion size was huge, we even had leftovers after eating until we were full. The restaurant itself was spacious, clean, and had plenty of seating. I think they were doing some sort of promotion so they gave us a $25 off coupon, though it expired pretty quickly so we didn't get to use it. I'd definitely come back for that grilled fish.

    This is a new Chinese restaurant featuring Hunan and Szechuan cuisine. The spicy dishes emphasize…read morespiciness, not numbness. A few of their dishes come out on a sizzling plate with flames underneath. They are still in soft-opening mode with several specials. You can see the menus via a QR code. The Hunan cuisine is listed as "Hunan Noodles" and the Szechuan cuisine is listed as "Chopfire Menu". The Szechuan dishes are listed with 1 to 3 chilies representing the spiciness. If you can't handle spicy, then avoid eating the chili pieces and you might "survive". The restaurant decided to minimize their food offerings so that they can focus on refining their dishes in terms of quality and taste, including from customer feedback. We ordered the following: 1. Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish ($39.95). 2. Home Stir Fried Beef ($21.95). 3. Bullfrog with Baby Ginger ($19.95). 4. Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork ($15.95). 5. Drunk Oolong (charcoal roasted oolong tea base) x 2 ($5.95 x 2). 6. Lemon Taro Balls ($7.95). We also saw the following: 7. Stir-Fried Sliced Pork with Green Pepper Noodle Soup ($9.99). First 10 customers each day, only pays $1.00. 8. Ink Painting Cocktail ($5.95). The Signature Spicy Grilled BBQ Fish came out on a huge sizzling platter. The BBQ Fish, a Turbot Fish, was very fresh and flaky, easily coming off the bone. There is no head attached like at typical Chinese restaurants but it would not have fit in the platter. The platter had a delicious sauce (soupy consistency and not sweet), luncheon meat slices, lotus root slices, and two other vegetables, along with chili pieces. The entire dish tasted great together with the various flavours. The menu listed it as 2-chili spicy but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Home Stir Fried Beef is tender. It is listed as 3-chili but I could handle it by avoiding the chili pieces. The Bullfrog with Baby Ginger has the bullfrog cut up in little pieces; no you don't see a whole frog! The meat was actually good but most pieces have bones in it, so it takes time to eat it carefully. There was ginger slices in it but it, but we thought the slices were quite large! The Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Preserved Pork was very delicious! It came in a sizzling plate. The Cauliflower was flavourful and was not crunchy and not too soft. I've never had preserved pork slices before; it was quite good, not as salty as Chinese preserved vegetables. The Drunk Oolong has comes in a small bowl a with gin and ice. On the side, they include pieces of the charcoal roasted oolong tea leaves so you can smell it; quite a good smell indeed. You can also order it without the gin, which is what I ordered for mine (since I don't drink alcohol). It was such a nice drink! The Lemon Taro Balls dessert was pretty. In the centre was a slice of lemon. The customer service was good. There is plenty of indoor table and counter seating, including a small private room at the back. There is also an outdoor patio during warmer weather. There is pop music playing in the background. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are two gender-neutral washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-026
