A few months ago, I visited the Giant Tiger on Kennedy Road in Scarborough on a Wednesday night. It…read moredeviated from my usual errands done in Whitchurch-Stouffville. I noticed Li's Hakka No. 1 Restaurant next door. I flagged it in my head, as I have a thing for Hakka food. Two Sundays ago, I was out running errands. I needed lunch. I remembered this eatery and placed a takeout order through Skip the Dishes. I ordered while I was in the Beaches. It took perhaps ten minutes to drive over to this restaurant. I was ten minutes early. I got to the parking lot and backed into a spot. I then watched a pickup truck make his own parking spot in front of me. The car next to mine had quite the task of getting out of his spot to leave the lot. Why are some folks so inconsiderate when it comes to parking and blocking others? When my order was ready, I headed inside. To my left was a male staff member chowing down. The restaurant is deep and spacious. I headed to the counter to speak to a woman. I indicated my order with Skip the Dishes and she handed me my order. I thanked her as I took photos like I generally do. I drove home and had a late lunch at nearly 3 pm. I ordered the following items: - Chilli chicken with a side of steamed rice - Pan-fried chicken dumplings (10) Let's start with the chicken dumplings. The searing on the dumplings was excellent. It wasn't overdone, but had a lot of flavour. The wrapper is thicker than normal, but it works to protect the filling from bursting out. The chicken filling was delicious. It has the right amount of saltiness from the soy. I liked the green onion with the chicken. It came with dipping sauce that was more on the vinegar-acidic side. Whenever I visit a new Hakka place, the dish that I tend to order as my baseline is chilli chicken. As expected, the default is dark meat with gravy. It's perfect for my liking. You pay more to get white meat and get it dry. The chicken was tender. The gravy was flavourful with lots of chopped chillis. The spice level was just the way that I like it. It's spicy enough that you get the heat, but it doesn't overpower the spices in the sauce. The chicken morsels were lightly battered before mixed with the gravy. My only issue, which was unfortunate, was with the steamed rice. It came in a styrofoam container. I basically plopped the rice onto my plate. I witnessed what was either a single eyelash or eyebrow hair at the bottom of the container, which was now the focal point on my mound of rice. I scooped out the rice around the lash or whatever it was, and continued with my meal. I don't think that I've ever done that before. I'm still alive and haven't grown a third leg. My favourite dish is spicy garlic chicken. This place has it. I want to give that a try next and hope that my steamed rice looks normal. (57)

The chicken dishes are too similar to each other with their spice mix. Everything tasted about the same with their chili flavor. For the rice, the general comment of my group is that it is not flavorful enough. Another important thing about the dining experience I disliked was that the service was terrible. The server just handed out our drinks without giving us the option to choose which pop drink we want. It should always be a choice. Also, it was bad that the rice came out and was served towards the end of the meal. All the chicken dishes were already served before the rice was ready. That is not the proper way to sequence the food order.

I ordered their Fried Chicken Leg on Top, served with Fried Rice for only CDN$9.00 on their Lunch Menu. Even though I was dining in, it was served in a takeout container that was packed full of food. It was heavy! Opening the box revealed a ton of food, packed to almost overflowing. This was not a case of them using a small box. It was packed! After being impressed with the portion size, especially for the price, I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the flavour. The chicken was fine but the fried rice was just kinda blah. It had no "wok hei". It needed a much hotter wok. It wasn't terrible but it definitely wasn't good. The ambiance is simple and sparse, with bare walls and minimal decor. It looks like it may have been a bit more posh at one time. At least it was clean and bright.

The beef steamed momos were juicy and really bursting with flavour despite the simplicity. The sizzling chicken plate was really disappointing - bland with rubbery chicken.

Pictured here is my go to order whenever I visit: - Steamed beef momos - Pan fried chicken momos - Deep fried amdo momos All 3 types are sure to satisfy everyone's preferences, they're all SUPER juicy and delicious! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic momos. They also have a full Tibetan and Hakka style menu with many other items to try other than their momos, I've tried their gyuma before as well and licked my fingers (no joke). Gyuma is Tibetan style blood sausage and oh so yummy! Their prices are very reasonable and quantity is exceptional, definitely my kind of place. Check them out y'all :)

In a strip mall, but we had trouble finding it cause it's called CCH on the signage & not the restaurant name. We started with spring rolls ($4.59). They weren't house made & they weren't that great but doable. Mains were the following: Ginger Beef ($17.99). It was the wrong one we ordered & it was only ok, not great. We THOUGHT we were ordering the crispy beef but not. Singapore Noodles ($15.99), this was really good. Good size order with lots of chicken & shrimp. Chilli Mushrooms ($16.99), this was a delicious dish. The best of the bunch. In an amazing gravy to top it off! Lastly, the Chicken w Broccoli (16.99) the was ok but not great. I'll say the portion sizes were pretty good on all dishes as well. Our server was a delightful & polite young Indian lady that was quit effective & did a solid job. We will go back to this spot but just adjust our order for the next time.
