We have visited Federick for more than 3 decades in its locations in Scarborough as well as Mississauga. Seeing this location in MarkHam where we were running errands and meeting family we decided to try it here as well. Quite busy on a Saturday night. Food comes out very quickly and so tables are turned around quickly as well. The service is good and the interior is clean. The tables are a bit closer to each other, which we don't like. The Vegan Hot and Sour soup was OK. Too reddish and not enough Hot (Spicy) and more sour. The black fungus, bamboo shoots do not help. More fresher veggies would have been preferred. The vegan Fried Rice made was good but again the flavours too muted. Not enough ginger/garlic/chillies. The vegan Mee Goreng with Tofu was good. Was looking forward for this Indo Malay dish. Obviously not the same as we have had in Indo Malay. The Chilli Veg Pakora is supposed to be spicy and with chillies - but it was mild and didn't see any or a lot of visible green chillies. The gravy was good. The pakoras were slightly bigger than we love. read more

We walked in and were immediately greeted, and our order was taken right away. The service was incredibly fast our drinks came out in about 3 minutes, and the food arrived in roughly 9 minutes, which honestly surprised us. Everything came out hot and fresh, making it perfect for a quick meal. The food was good overall. The noodles could have been seasoned a bit more, but the chicken was perfect and came out boiling hot, which we really appreciated. With a little more seasoning on the noodles, the food could be even better. The ambience was casual and comfortable, making it a great spot for a quick family dinner. Our waiter was friendly, professional, and attentive. Prices are very reasonable, especially considering how fast the service is and the amount of food you get. Overall, a solid place with good food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Would definitely come back. read more

Everything is so tasty and spicy! Manchurian fried rice, crispy ginger beef, chili chicken are so tasty. Love the vinegary and chili sauces you get on the side as a bonus with each order. Great lunch specials too. Very convenient to order party trays to contribute for potlucks! Plently of seating and parking. read more

Ordered at Federicks after a really long time, and wow how things have changed. I used to love ordering both for take out and dine in! One plus point is you'll get your food in like less than 5 min! I ordered the Schezuan Vegetable fried rice and the Bombay Paneer. To say I was underwhelmed was the truth, the food was lacking flavour and the portion sizes were so small could barely feed 2 people. Better hakka spots in the city. 5/10 read more

Federick is one of the old school original Indo Hakka restaurants in Toronto. I've eaten there many times over the years. This time, we went for lunch at their newer location off Markham Rd. Most in our party of seven were unfamiliar with this place. We ordered several dishes, including Chilli Chicken, Fried Rice, Tofu, Calamari, and more. My dining companions, especially the first-timers, loved it all. It was good but I prefer the food at the original location in Scarborough. read more

Once upon a time this place was hidden miss, but my last three visits here have been miss miss and miss. The rice is always overcooked and mushy, veggie items just taste like burnt oil, meat items have very little flavor and are just a goopy mess. Half the servers work hard while the other half loaf around and move across the floor like sloths. They definitely need a new cook and perhaps even new management. I have no plans to return in the near future. Lastly, even with all seats filled the place was freezing inside, and we had to eat with our coats on. read more

Passing through Markham , came upon Fredrick's ! Had heard a lot about it, so stopped in for lunch . Place was filling up fast, staff were busy making sure everyone was served. They were professional and friendly. The lunch specials are great - large selection, great price ($9.75 !!!) . Ordered chilli chicken as well as General Tao chicken with fried rice. Portions are good, food was delicious and well prepared. read more

This place is solid. The portions are huge--definitely come with friends and share, because with just two of us we had so much food to bring home. The flavors are killer, bold and properly spicy without compromise or apologies. Service was good, and overall it was such a satisfying experience. Honestly, I don't know why this spot doesn't have more stars on Yelp--it deserves better. read more

Heard really good things about Frederick's. We were in the area and wanted some Hakka food. We ordered the chili chicken and crispy ginger beef. Our orders came with white rice. Sadly, the chili chicken was underwhelming and didn't have any strong flavours; it wasn't even spicy. The crispy ginger beef was almost too burnt to eat, but the flavours were somewhat decent. The rice is the worst part, it was like they had given us couple days old rice. It definitely was not fresh. As much as we hate wasting food, we had to throw much of it away. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone. read more

Always enjoy the food here, taste really good. Been going there for a long time and it's always good.

I think Federicks redeemed themselves, our waiter was super friendly and very attentive, luckily they weren't too busy when we were there. We ordered the American chip suey, garlic chicken, chicken pakora, chicken corn soup and chilli chicken. Everything was so fresh, and hot, the garlic chicken was sweet and spicy, the staff were attentive and listened to us that we wanted the soup and pakora first because before they never cared so I can see the service definitely improved as well as their food. The chicken corn soup was really flavourful especially with the red hot sauce, and the pakora was hot and squeeze that lemon it was crispy and juicy on the inside I can eat these all day, the American chop suey was so good with that crispy noodle and egg flavour bomb, and the garlic chicken oh my goodness they improved this like crazy, And the food wasn't that salty either, great job on Federick the staff have a smile on their face, this place will be around for generations upon generations RIP to the humble owner very kind soul but he lives on through this legacy. read more

Food is always hot, fresh and well seasoned. Portion size is good and value per dish is still in line compared to many well over processed restaurants. The place is clean and orderly. You always get a pitcher of water at the table. Their customer service seems to have improve as most of the staff was that friendly in the past. Hiring more females must have helped this as they are great. read more

Very tasty for an Indian palate, very fast service and good portions! Small place so could get busy during rush hours!

The cooking aroma lured me in from the parking lot. Surprisingly, they are still offering great lunch deals (less than $10!) in February 2022, with a decent amount of protein and comes with a pop. Hakka cuisine can be similar to some traditional Chinese dishes with a hint(or a lot) of a Indian spices and chilli heat. Not my usual go to for cuisine but like I said the aroma shouted something good is being made here! I ordered three dishes to try from a Manchurian Beef(sweet red soy saucy?) Chili Fish and Shanghai noodles with Shrimp. The first two were medium spice and super saucey. The fish was drowning in spicy sauce so much so that I couldn't finish it and wanted some clean plain rice to soak up the palate. The Shanghai noodles were decent. A tad greasy, but I suppose that's a dish trade mark and great flavours. It had lots of shrimp and finely julienned veg sauté into it. I would come back again to try more lunch dishes again, it's a great deal here! read more

Food is great. Price is good ... service can improve. The only time service is good is when we get takeout ... eating inside the restaurant is also a challenge with their service. Ambiance is good. read more

I came here with my family and from the moment we walked in until we left. The staff was SO RUDE. They talked back when we would ask for something, gave us dirty dishes and the food was flavorless and cold. The only thing that was decent was the crispy beef and garlic shrimp. Do NOT recommend this place at all. read more

Best Hakka food in Toronto & Markham. Love the fried scallops, Manchurian shrimp fried rice. Service is great. Dishes arrive quickly & hot. Also great for take out. read more

I was so happy to find this place! I had been here years ago with friends and all was good. First time I went on my own to get takeout a few weeks ago I got beef chow mein and kung pao chicken. I asked if the chicken was spicy and the man taking my order said "no, not really" - the dish was literally covered in cut chillis!! It was sooo spicy I could hardly eat it. I had to pick out all the pieces of chilli. Went again yesterday and got beef chow mein again and general Tao chicken (knowing that wouldn't be as spicy). Food was delicious and the portion of noodles especially is insane for the price! Chicken was very fresh and not covered in batter like other places. Was happily enjoying my meal and then I bit into something hard. It was a piece of metal!! Looks like steel wool possibly? I checked the rest of my food carefully and didn't see anything else. I continued eating but just could not enjoy it the same way. I'm sure it's a fluke thing. I didn't bother to call to inform them as I know it wouldn't do anything. I trust this is not something that happens regularly. I can't feel the same way about this place though and if I did order again, I will always be eating with caution read more

Wow. The chicken pakora are out of this world. Fresh, crunchy, spicy and mouth watering. The place was hopping busy but the staff was working effectively, efficiently and smoothly. Good decor and comfortable seats. Overall my most favorite hakka halal Chinese. read more

It's a decent spot for Hakka. We got there at 1pm on a saturday and ordered 3 dishes for carry out. Only carry out available right now from covid restrictions. I would highly recommend the garlic chicken, chicken pakora and chicken chow mein noodle. We also ordered the chilli chicken and asked for saucey but I have had better in other locations. Pros: -Halal Meat -Fair prices (average $10/dish) -They give you a discount if you pay cash, so drop them dollar bills $$ Service was super fast, less than 20 min for our carry out. read more

The best place for Hakka Chinese food. Expect the food to be greasy and extremely flavorful. Spicy chicken, fried rice, chow mein all on point. We love the spicy food here. Prices are a little pricy for the quality of food. But when cravings hit, it still seems worth it. Service is generally ok but rushed. Regardless, we know what to expect when we come here and being predictable and consistent is actually one of the reasons we keep coming back. read more

Dropped by on a Saturday lunch to pick up food for my friends. Food was ordered 20 minutes prior my arrival. I did not expect the order to be available right away, but I waited another 40 minutes before my order was ready. I did ask the staff when would my order be ready, she said 10 minute since the kitchen was working on the last item. She should have told me at least another half a hour since the kitchen was behind with some catering takeout order. Quite frustrating when the staff not communicate with the customers and let us wait like idiots. If it takes 30 minute plus, or you missed the original order, just let us know. read more

They were able to seat nine on very short notice which was really nice! However, there was inconsistency between the dishes, e.g., one rice dish was way too bloated and overcooked while the other was fine. The food tasted ok overall, but I had a minor stomach ache later that day. However, the seating, service, and ambience inside the restaurant was super nice! read more

How is it possible to make food with absolutely no flavour? Well at Fredrick's it is possible. So bland, tasteless food. Never again

Their food is out of this world!! There's no better Hakka in this city or any other I've visited. Their service is great, it's hard to beat this place as the ambiance also is top notch. read more

This Hakka restaurant can get really packed and busy, even on a Sunday night (when we came) Luckily we got in before the crowd as there were seats available. However, within 15 mins, people started to come in and a line was forming. So yes, you can tell that this restaurant is pretty popular, but I'm not surprised why. Their menu offers a good selection of items, and a lot of choices for vegetarians as well. The food items (even despite how busy it gets) comes fairly quickly, within 10 mins or so. The portion sizes are pretty good for the price you pay, and usually one dish is enough for 2 people. - Chili Chicken ($9.99): as mentioned, the size is fairly big, and the chili chicken only comes as the dry version (some places offer dry or with sauce), and a big bowl of rice to accompany it. The chicken was nice and soft, and there was a good amount of chili spice to it! One of my fav dishes :) - Kan Shue Green Beans ($7.50): Like the chili chicken, the dish was pretty big overall. The beans were abit overcooked as I found it dry, but other than that, the spices used were good. I recommend coming to this place for delicious Hakka food, just try to come before the lineups start haha! read more

Excellent food quality and service. Consistent and reliable. Had a large order and when I checked, everything was perfect. Forget places like Swiss Chalet who mess up all the time, and go the Fredericks for better food and service read more

As of Jan 2022 still pandemic times. This location of Federick is one of our go to for Hakka dishes. We don't travel as far as we used to for food, due to increased fuel prices. Along with Resto prices have also been increased. We usually get a rice dish and a noodle dish and an entree. We love their portioning on their fried rice dishes. They have a slightly larger assortment of chicken offerings than other restos we visit. Since Beef and Pork is a big no-no for me managing Gout. Apologies for no snapshots ^_^;; usually when we go it's late dinner time and we are super hungry and forget to take pics. IF we happen to swing by during day time hours I'll do best to take some snaps of what was ordered and post at a later date :) Wifey and I take turns on deciding the entree of choice. Example : chili chicken dry vs chili chicken with gravy. I usually like the gravy to go with the steamed rice, she prefers the dry. So hence taking turns :) Service : 3/5 it's an Asian resto, the staff service on courtesy and proper treatment of customers when ordering is kinda hit and miss. Food : 3.5/5 usually the dishes we order are quite good, not stellar. Tho enough to satisfy our cravings. Repeat visit worth : 5/5 this is a YES for us :) read more

Large portion sizes and tasty. Great deals for lunch for under $10!! Recommend the chilli chicken dry.

Best pakora chicken I've ever had. I order take-out here regularly and the service is relatively good. They are good at accommodating allergies which makes this a staple for my family. read more

Has anyone out there seen the episode "The Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld? Where Kramer, Elaine, George, and Jerry line up for the most delicious soup they've ever eaten. Despite the service they keep coming back because the soup is that good. Federick Restaurant is like that. The food is fantastic (5 stars). The value is amazing (5 stars). Your order comes out very quick. The portions are hard to believe for the amount you get. So delicious, flavourful, hot, fresh and will have you coming back for more (5 stars). The issue, like all other Yelpers have noticed is the service. Don't expect pleasantries, serve on you hand and foot, or your meal to come at the same time as others in your party. When you do get it and dig into it, you'll realize why there is consistently a wait during lunch hour. The food it that good. Anything on the lunch menu is amazing. So be prepared...food & value 5 stars. Service with a smile, not so much. read more

Great spot for lunch or dinner if you're craving Hakka food! I used to have Federicks a lot growing up so it was nothing new to me. They have been consistently good in terms of the food. However sometimes, the gravy for the chilli chicken can taste watered down. Price wise, they are quite affordable. Tip: go during lunch hours to take advantage of the lunch special :) read more

Federick Restaurant - Chilli chicken & machurian fried rice & steamed rice - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Terrible service. Mediocre food. Unnessary costs. To be blunt, I didn't have the best experience. I came here as a group of 9. They made us pay a service charge even though we didn't want to. They said it's okay, we don't have to pay for tips. The servers barely paid any attention to us throughout our whole visit. The foods tasted mediocre. I got a curried paneer dish. It tasted as if it didn't even have salt. I also had some soup and fried rice. The fried rice tasted as if it was burnt and the vegetables were too hard to chew. The soup was not good at all, we didn't even finish it. read more

Frederick's is one of those classic Hakka Restaurants, I honestly don't know any Hakka lovers who haven't heard of them This location in particular is definitely one of the better Hakka Restaurants! I often come here with my family or for quick bite with friends. It great for either takeout or dine in. However, on weekends, there's a bit of a wait for dine in, even if you made a reservation before hand. I some of my usual go-to dishes are: Chicken Pakoras - some of the best ones out there, Super crispy, and always flavourful. Veggie Hakka Noodles - SO GOOD, especially if you dine in, The noodles are always thick and cooked so well. Never soggy or limp. Chili Chicken with Gravy - a staple! it has a lot of green chillies Manchurian Chicken with Gravy - Tossed in a Red Manchurian Sauce, it has a great taste and its not too spicy! Chilli Paneer: It's honestly a great alternative if you're a vegetarian. Veggie Fried Rice - it's honestly just as good as the Chicken Fried Rice, (they just substitute the chicken with Broccoli ) so if you have vegetarian with you, definitely get this to share! Chicken Corn Soup - A Hakka Staple! It's a pretty mild soup with exactly as its described; chicken and corn. Hot and Sour Soup - absolutely delicious! The portions are always generous, and the price point is pretty great. They also have some really great Lunch Specials. read more

I found this place on TikTok. The atmosphere is very appealing. Its wasn't too crowded so i felt comfortable. They were fairly quick service. The food is delicious and i loved the red sauce they give you. I did takeout. I wish it was more of a punch in the face with the flavour though... but overall not bad. read more

Huge portions at affordable prices, but comes at a cost. I usually come in for their lunch special as they're just down the street. I've tried a few of their specials but my go-to is always the Manchurian chicken with rice. It's full of flavour, not too spicy and comes in a generous portion. The lunch special also comes with a drink, either chinese tea or a selection of pop. While I normally get take-out, I did try staying in one day. The restaurant had a good number of people coming in and out for lunch, wait time was minimal. While the food portions and pricing is very appealing, I did find the service to be a bit lacking. I'm not sure if they're just short staffed, but I find that the waiters can sometimes be a little less than friendly unless you're asking for the bill. I would still recommend this place for affordable Hakka food in the Markham area, but primarily for the lunch specials. read more

Federick Restaurant - Manchurian chicken w/rice - Chinese Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Worst service ever. We were eating and they started cleaning using harsh pungent chemical spray. We were with our old parents and most importantly our toddler child. The smell was so overwhelming that we had to cut it short. It was only 10:20 pm they started cleaning and the restaurant is supposed to be open till 11 pm. When we called them and raised the concern they started arguing and said that they start cleaning by 10:30pm but it was way before that. Most importantly, it's unhygienic and unhealthy for all of us and my baby to eat in that atmosphere with full of chemical mist. The fact that they argued showed that they don't have any concern about customer. I will never go to this place where they don't value the customers' health and feedback. read more

3.5 stars My favourite place to go for lunch special. They're usually pretty busy, and you have to wait a bit for a seat. The portions are pretty big and so good for the price read more
