Faley Restaurant has apparently been around for ages, so I was excited to check the place out and sample a couple of their dishes. One of our primary rules when eating at a new restaurant is to zero in on dishes with the name of the joint in it, so ordering the Faley's Special Gan-Ben Beef (Crispy Beef) was an obvious no-brainer. We decided to also get the Manchurian Style Vegetable and a big bowl of rice. The Crispy Beef arrived first and the portion size was fairly enormous. It's a really tasty dish. The beef is indeed quite crispy, irresistibly so, and though the sauce is a touch on the sweet side, we discovered that it's tempered perfectly when mixed with the rice and veggie dish. We seriously enjoyed our meal at Faley Restaurant. The service was great, and the food was delectable. It's not difficult to see why the place has endured for so long. read more

Worst Hakka food I've ever tasted in my life I talked to the cook and the guy said he's been cooking like this for 28 years. Unbelievable taste like it's been cooked in dirty burnt out grease if you want real Hakka food go to Hakka Legend on Markham rd. read more

Their food is way too greasy. It would be cheaper buying a litre of vegetable oil and drinking it.

They don't play around food always fresh and spicy no joke you will start sweating from your forhead lol

Faley's has consistently provided outstanding quality and service, offering the best Hakka cuisine and freshest ingredients available. I have enjoyed their cuisine for a long time and visiting them is a must everytime I visit Toronto! read more

How have I not written a review for Faley's yet? It's been a workplace favourite for years - not just for me, but so many coworkers! The prices are reasonable and the portions are always generous. The chili chicken lunch special is fantastic! With or without gravy, the chicken is full of flavor and the green chilis add a really great kick and freshness. The crispy beef is another one, that is absolutely incredible! Most things on the menu are hits, and the prices are reasonable that it's pretty low pressure to try new things. Although not the "healthiest" meal around, it certainly hits the spot! The staff are always friendly, and I'm looking forward to them opening for dine-in. read more

Good hakka food yummy , very authentic indian style Chinese food . Highly recommended .

Simply the best! Chili chicken at this spot, is the best. Never, ever had a bad dish here. Going on at least 15 years of visiting, and won't stop. read more

Everything I've ever had from this place is exquisite. The crispy beef, chicken pakoras, garlic chicken (no gravy), and Manchuria fried rice are insanely delicious. Order any of those and you won't be disappointed but if you have to choose just one go with the crispy beef. read more

Love Faley! A family-owned business with lots of heart to show in the food they serve. Old-school.

my friends and i got. takeouts and we went here as a recommendation from a friend. 5 dishes for a total of 52$ - very affordable with huge portions, however, taste definitely needs an improvement Hakka noodles - good but similar to all the other noodles I've tried. think Shanghai noodles with less flavour Crispy beef - by far the best crispy beef i've had! huge portion and tasted amazing! not too crispy and dry which i think is a good thing. the flavour was on point - a hint of sweetness but retained its savoury side Shrimp pakora - dry but fairly tastety. full shrimps rolled up in a dough-ball and baked. had a hint of spice to it Mapo tofu - was disappointed with this dish. in my opinion, it didn't have any flavour and bland although it looked good Chilli chicken (gravy) - not spicy at all and again, the flavour was not there read more

This is a great Hakka spot in Etobicoke. I have been going here for several months now and I have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and they the food is great. Make sure you are hungry or bring someone to share with as the plates are fulling. I had the General Tso chicken today which is one of my go to meals here. The other ones are the chilli chicken and the Faleys chicken special. I ordered it on white rice with gravy and I like saucy meals and as always they didn't disappoint me. The chicken was tender and the sauce was amazing. Note that the first time you order will be a little confusing as there are main mixing options, but asked the waiter what options they have and they will help. read more

Faley Restaurant - Yum - Indian Near Me - Rexdale, Ontario

I am very surprised with the poor reviews because this restaurant is amazing! My friend and her husband have been going there for years and always rave about it. Since our office relocated up by the airport, a few of my colleagues decided to try it for lunch. Three of us ordered from the lunch menu specials (Beef with Ginger & Scallion, Chicken with Black Bean Sauce and Shrimp with Lobster Sauce) and all of it was incredible. The specials were about $6.50 and, no word of a lie, one dish was enough for two people. My other colleague ordered the Cantonese Chow Mein and it was cooked (crispy) to perfection. All the dishes came out fresh and piping hot. I have tried so many Hakka restaurants throughout the years and I have to genuinely say that this is one of the best. I would rank it up with Yeuh Tung (behind City Hall), which is one of Toronto's originals. read more

Faley's is a solid, small spot for great Hakka food. We came here for dinner on a weekday and the place was packed. We ordered vegetarian fried rice, chicken fried rice, Hakka chow mein, Manchurian beef, special garlic chicken, chili paneer for five guys and we were all stuffed. There was still enough to take home even! It came out to $12 total per person, which is a bargain for that much food. I am Hakka myself and enjoyed the food thoroughly. Faley's food has a very homestyle taste to it which is a great thing. Their fried rice is not oily at all, and overall their hakka food, in general, is not as oily or salty as many other places. This is a huge positive as this tends to be a common complaint of many Hakka restaurants. Ironically some comments here have indicated the food as flavourless. I don't find that the case. The faley's special garlic chicken was the best dish of the night, you can't go wrong with garlic! The chow mein was also tasty and full of 'toppings' which included shrimp, beef, and chicken. The ratio of noodles to toppings is quite impressive, they don't skimp out on ingredients here. Service is good, I can tell the owners care and will make sure you have a good experience here. They will talk to guests and make you feel welcome. read more

This restaurant appears to be a Family owned spot in Rexdale. Place is tiny but was very busy when we were there. Here's the lowdown.... * House made egg-rolls good but not great * Chicken/Shrimp Szechuan Noodles were good but to al-dente for my taste. The flavour was kinda bland too * Broccoli in Ouster Sauce-very tasty & steaming hot to-boot! * Crispy Beef...this is in a catagory all by itself!! It was hot & spicy & crispy & beyond delicious!! I'd go back to this spot for the Crispy Beef alone!! So if this is your addiction...this is the place to go for Chinese food! read more

Been coming here since early 2000s and I'm very good friends with the owner. This review is my honest opinion. He has many chefs working here, the food is a hit or miss. When it hits, it's the best Chilli chicken I've ever had, but when it's a miss it's totally bland and tasteless. Worth the try. This past Saturday I had a amazing experience, but mid week it tasted like nothing. read more

The best Chilli Chicken in Toronto, I rest my case! Faley, a family owned, Hakka Chinese restaurant is a wonderful little joint that serves quick, good portioned Chinese cuisine favorites. Lunch special is where it's at, prices range from $6~8 Hot tea during the winter and cold tea during the summer! How nice... Service is always quick and attentive, they know me as Bob, but there can be a bit of line-up during the lunch hour rush. The best dish is the Chilli Chicken. It comes on top of rice, this crispy full of flavor chilli chicken with stir-fried, caramelized onions. mmmmmmmmm~ If you want to taste what I just described above, ya gotta tell em to go "DRY" Otherwise, your dish will be swimming in the sauces. All at the same time there is always a wicked Bollywood movie playing in the background, non-stop!! Kind of awesome if you ask me... My other favorite is the Ginger Chicken, it comes with Ginger stir fried with chicken, with onions and green pepper. Now be generous and give yourself half sauce for this dish! If you are around the neighbourhood, go for Faley's! Bob out! read more

Faley Restaurant - Faley Chilli Chicken, dry, courtesy of lob - Indian Near Me - Rexdale, Ontario

Been here a three times. It's a small restaurant. Seats about 30. Usually quite busy in the evening. First time, I ordered the Faley chicken - it was so so. Second time chicken wings, fried rice and beef and with broccoli combination - meal was so so as well. The chicken wings bit oily. Third time I ordered the chilly chicken dry with rice and it was delicious. Perfectly done. Price is quite reasonable and portion good. Service was attrantive as well. read more

Been here a couple of times for lunch. Its located in a stip plaza with parking out front, little difficult to get to as the entrance is located on the side street. This place was quite busy during the lunch rush. I ordered the Szechuan chicken lunch special. Egg roll was the usual deep fried pre-historically frozen and unremarkable. The flavor of the food was very good and I found the portion size quite generous. The down side was the numerous pieces of cartilage and fat that I usually find part of the hakka experience was more than usual. Overall, great prices, large portions but quality on the lesser side. read more

Faley's is the best Hakka Chinese food I've ever had. "Hakka" is basically Chinese food with a strong Indian influence, yielding spicy, bold flavours. Nowhere are they more bold than in the "Chili Chicken (Dry)" with Fried Rice. It's probably my favourite dish in the entire city of Toronto. I give this place 4 stars because the service is hit or miss. As someone who's been a customer for the past 10 years, I've had a wide range of experiences. Portions have also slowly reduced over the years. I still think that it's a pretty good value for money though. A lot of restaurants have opened in this same plaza advertising "hakka" chinese food (including a chain called Salt and Pepper). I've tried them all and none of them compare. read more

Same company as the one in thorncliffe. Very unsatisfying. I got the usual Chilli Chicken on rice and it was tasteless. Although the portion was fair. They obviously don't got the same touch as the other location or they just didn't add all ingredients. I don't think I'll ever be back. Service 3/5 Food 2/5 read more

I've been going here for years and it never disappoints. The service is amazing and the food will leave you thinking about it for days to come. The huge portions make the best leftovers!!!! read more

Faley Restaurant - Couldn't wait long enough to take a pic. #sogood - Indian Near Me - Rexdale, Ontario

Went with the guys from the office to Faley, their regular place, and found it to be pretty bad. Fried rice is a favorite of mine and there were things in it that were unidentifiable. Probably nothing that didn't belong there, but if it doesn't look like anything I've ever seen, then what the heck is it??? The taste wasn't that good. There was something about it that seemed "off." And then the unidentified food objects! No thanks. read more

I'm going to keep it short and simple Best food ever!!! Hands down can't get any better! The owners are so nice as well they make sure that your satisfied! read more

One of my favourite places to order food from. It is always consistently delicious and hot, and they give nice size portions!

Their food is really awesome. I have yet to find a Hakka restaurant that can beat them. I would question the bad reviews on here. I have never been disappointed with the food. Plenty of friends and family have gotten hooked on Faleys after trying their dishes. Huge portions and great value. The interior of the restaurant is truly nothing special - this is totally true. I always opt for take-out - and take out is always steaming hot.. which is really nice. Don't let the location or decor scare you. The food speaks for itself. The staff is always friendly. Def. a fave. read more

They have the best chili chicken in the area, hands down. Dry or gravy. Their recipe never changes and it is nice and spicy. Not just salty. Decent portions and prices are very reasonable. These guys are always busy! I am giving 4 stars because I ordered their hot and sour chicken soup a couple times and first time it was unbelievably amazing but the second time it was awful. read more

Great place, like the Manchurian chicken. Portions are good, good environment to sit down and eat with friends. Been in that Rexdale plaza for quite a long time now. read more

The Overlea location is the best Hakka we've had in the GTA. The resto is quaint and the owners are ALWAYS working and willing to please. The food is piping hot when served, always fantastic, and you never have to ask for refreshments...they fill your cup up as soon as it's half empty! There is no better service or quality within a 50km radius. This place is one of my all time faves! I'd give them 3 thumbs up if I had 3 hands! read more

Probably my most favorite hakka restaurant with Chilli Chicken House. Their portions are fairly large, and their prices are close to the cheaper side. They are great for families, and they have a clean atmosphere. It's hakka chinese food, but its geared towards desi people (indian movies!) The servers are really nice and know a little Urdu themselves haha Really good, and its halal too But one thing I didnt like was how heavy the oil is in their food, but hey its restaurant food, so I don't really care read more

This is a small place but very busy with dine in and take outs. The chili chicken and shrimp pakora were tasty. read more

I have been going to this place for years but last couple of times the quality has really gone down. The rice seemed like it was from 2 days ago and the chicken chow mein was dry. I really hope they can step it up like they used to in the past. read more

Came in for the lunch special, chilli chicken on rice. Hot and fresh with a decent amount of chicken. Would come back again.

One of our favourites. We love the dry chili chicken....the onions are delicious and the chilis make it just right! Hubby likes the steamed rice. I prefer the fried rice. The chicken pakoras are also amazing. Perfect spice. read more

Really good Hakkah Chinese food - (Hakkah is halal Chinese food) - the noodles was really fresh and tasty, chicken was awesome like always. I love going to this place every time I'm in that part of Toronto (Rexdale). Also, the prices are good too. read more

I'm sorry, but I'm not a huge fan of this place. I've eaten at many Hakka restaurants, and believe me when I say that Faley's food is nothing special. It's either too salty, too oily, or just too bland at times. The place is usually packed though, which surprises me. The decor is very mediocre, and looks like your average Chinese restaurant. Service is good though, which is what earned the two stars. There was a woman who possibly owned the restaurant who was very friendly. Otherwise, this place is overpriced and nothing special. If you want seriously tasty and well portioned Hakka cuisine, check out Hakka No 1 at Keele/Lawrence. read more

In all fairness I havent eaten much Hakka, however I have been here several times and have never left dissatisfied. Recently my wife and I took her parents and brother and we ate like it was our last meal. Szechuan chicken, chilli chicken, vegetarian noodles, chicken and shrimp noodles, some vegetarian breaded ball with sauce(??)and soup appetizer. More than enough food for the five of us to feel shame and including the beer for dad was less than $60. Considering we all tried something new that night and were all stuffed - I felt like we robbed the place. The wait staff was patient while brother asked numerous questions and even made suggestions. We were checked on several times and table maintained and refreshed without once having to look for a server. Yes the decor is unpretentious and humble but the service is quick and discreet and the food is on your table promptly and still steaming!! read more
