We ordered from lunch special menu. Szechaun noodles and szechaun chopsuey(Chicken). It comes with side rice , spring roll and soup of the day. Soups were tasty. Rest everything was terrible. Noodles were sweet let alone spicy. They forgot to put chicken in chicken chopsuey. I ordered chinese bhel as well which was soggy and completely sweet. There was no tinge of spice in it. Spring roll was dry inside, sauce that came with it was still good. Fried rice on side tasted like it was kept for a long time. It had no taste however. Highly recommend not to order these dishes. According to management lunch special menu and regular menu serves same food which tells me these dishes are just plain bad. read more

I went here with one of my girlfriends for lunch on a Saturday, and we were the only ones in there! The waitress/lady behind the counter told us to let her know when we were ready to order, which I found a little odd. Once we were ready, she wasn't there. Totally fine since she came out a minute or two later. She seemed to be very knowledgeable about the items on the menu as well, which is always helpful. I ordered a chicken kung pao and my friend had the vegetable kofta with the manchurian gravy and some veggie fried rice. The portions at lunch were nice and big! Surprisingly we still ate most of it. (Rice digests fast, ya know!) Both dishes were very tasty, very fresh (meat, veggies, gravies, etc.) and had great flavor. I should have asked what veggies came with mine since I don't like mushrooms, but it was easy to pick them out since the pieces were fairly big. I have never tried this vegetable kofta stuff before, and I actually loved it! The little "meatballs" were flavorful and still juicy! I loved that so many veggies were packed into there. Pricing for lunch was about what I would have expected. I knocked off one star only because at one point in the middle of us eating, the waitress started talking to us for wayyy too long. I appreciate her wanting to talk about their other menu items and telling us other things we should order, but we literally had to kindly try to end the conversation so we could go back to enjoying our meal. Otherwise everything else was great! read more

Hakka Wok - Vegetable kofta with manchurian gravy (really tasty!); Veggie fried rice (standard); Chicken kung pao (lots of veggies!) - great portions! - Chinese Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Should be no star. Most awful food I ever had. Big mistake to dine in. Hope they go out of business.

Already a dingy place as it is, but the service is terrible. They told us it will take about 20 min, we ordered at 7 pm. It's now about to hit 9 and we still have no food. It was only 3 items. And the owner was absolutely no help, told us to wait or get our money back and leave. Then, after waiting for two hours, gave us lukewarm and terrible food. Wouldn't even give a discount for the ridiculous amount of inconvenience. Never coming back here again. Save your time. read more

Dont bother with the chicken lollipop. They changed their recipe and make them with wings instead of legs. $10 for 6 pieces of wings! Lol

I disagree with other people who gave this place a negative review. A restaurant should be first judged by the quality of is food and the food is fantastic at this place. May not be the high end sitting area, but food quality and the staff friendliness is 5 star. I go there all the time along with my employees and everyone loves the food. Always fresh, cooked to roder and taste great!! read more

I came here to get carry out lunch. The store itself was easy to find with a lot of parking. When I walked into the restaurant it was small but clean and the person behind the counter was friendly and gave me a menu right away. I came around noon time and there were no patrons in the restaurant at this time. I ordered three items off the lunch menu: a chicken Hakka noodle, chili beef dry, and they had a chicken wing special I got it tsao style. All these items came with a spring roll and soup and was ~ $9. They were able to make everything in like 20 minutes. All the food was FANTASTIC! Great flavor, good portion size, fresh... it was really really good. I don't know if all the previous reviews got to them but today the food was totally on point. It was nice and spicy, the chicken was fresh not rubbery, the vegetables were fresh and the rice and noodles were not hard. Even the soups were tasty and the spring roll. I dunno what this place was like before as this is the first time I've ever gone but it was very very good and a great deal. Perhaps they made changes based on these reviews. I would try it again if you've been scared from previous. The service was nice and fast and made good suggestions as well. Give it a try, I'm hooked and will be back! read more

Hakka Wok - Chinese Near Me - Schaumburg, Illinois

Super unprofessional staff. Owner really needs to invest his money on making sure staff is well trained. The past 2 years they have had this problem. Today we came back to try after so long in hopes of it being better but only one server ! On a weekend! Which obviously resulted in us sitting for 30 mins with no interaction with server. Sever used foul language after we asked why we have not been taken care of 30 mins. And to top it off the server wanted to obviously bring race in by saying he only speaks "English". I could understand the frustration of one server having the load on him self but this is the owners fault who fails to take care of his Buisness and employees. Best to stay away unless the owner can actually take care of his business. read more

I was here this afternoon with my sister and nephews. It was easy to spot from the street, plently of parking too. We got into the restaurant and placed our order and I remembered to check-in Presto a message popped up on my phone, "Check in here and get a free spring roll". I was like wooohoo!! I called the waitress and showed her my phone ( which by the way was the instructions "show your phone with the coupon to recieve it ...).She looked shocked, then dismayed then just plain irritated with me! WTF? She hummed and haad and then said "Let me check with the Owner". I said to myself "No biggie, she is just doing her job like a good waitress". That being said, never saw a peep from her till the end of our meal.When she came with the check and some carry out I ordered, she told me she put the spring roll in the bag in a very nonchalant almost rude way.I was like whatever...its just a spring roll, be nice. I got home and unpacked the carry out and guess what...that spring roll was the size of my middle finger......just too much hassle for such a measely morsel. Oh the food was awesome! At the restaurant we ate Shrimp Pakoras and Chicken soup. The carry out was Manchurian Chicken, Chilli chicken, Shrimp with Black bean, Manchurian Fish, Hakka Noodles and House fried rice...no complaints in the quality or quantity of the food. My only turn off was that ....free spring roll which made me feel a little out of place trying to get it. I will definately go back, but HELL NO I am not redeeming any free stuff with a check in. read more

Looking for something different and spicy, we finally decided to give Hakka Wok a shot. I knew it was going to be expensive from other reviews and menu prices but I was not prepared for the utter lack of value Hakka Wok disappointed me with. We ordered for take out and arrived to pick up the food at dinner time. I was surprised to find the restaurant completely devoid of customers on a Friday evening during prime dinner time. I've had mixed experiences with restaurants that were empty so I decided to not let the negative image of an empty restaurant skew my opinion of the food. That is, until I was presented with a $27+ bill for two entrees: paneer in Manchurian gravy and the "famous" dry chili chicken. Wow. I asked to see an itemized bill or menu to confirm prices and while doing so, the only employ in the restaurant expressed his personal opinion that "this place is overpriced." A omen of things to come but I again attempted to hold my judgement till after I ate my meal. After getting home and unwrapping our food, I balked at the paltry size of the entree containers. They were the size of small containers typically used at the many Chinese take out places in the area. At this point I felt the dreaded fingers of doubt wrap around my hungry stomach and squeeze the reminder of the $27+ bill I just paid into it. On to the food... the rice was of the cheap Chinese variety except it was stiff and dry. Have you ever tried to eat Chinese rice the next day after it has been in the refrigerator overnight? That's exactly the consistency our rice was except it was warm. At this point I was getting angry and I hadn't even tasted the paneer or chicken yet. The chicken was lightly breaded, as dry chili chicken should be, and looked okay but it must've either been overcooked or old because it was dry. Not only was it dry but it was disappointingly not spicy. Maybe that's why they gave us three containers of hot sauce? The paneer was strangely chewy and scarce, swimming in a bath of sauce. Although the Manchurian gravy is labeled as spicy, it wasn't really that spicy at all. I'll admit the flavor was decent and had potential. Fresh, minced cilantro really helped freshen up the corn starch stiffened sauce. I now realized why this place has a severe lack of business. Not only were the prices high but the portions were relatively small and lacked any significantly unique or superb flavor. I don't know how long this place has been around but I can't imagine it staying open for very much longer. It's one thing to raise perceived value of your product by applying a lofty price tag but it's a crime to deliver an underwhelming experience attached to a severe lack of value to your product. I think it is obvious that I won't be bothering to spend anymore money to try anything from this place again. read more

I went here because I heard this was started by the manager/chef of Hot Wok and was craving some good old spice on a weeknight. I'd say that I walked away unimpressed. The menu is pretty much the same as Hot Wok. But the dishes don't taste quite as good.. which doesn't make much sense. We had the baby corn bhajjias, but they were overdone. The soups on the other hand were fantastic, the Manchow is highly recommended. The Singapore noodles were just okay and the Chili and Manchurian sauces in our two entrees were pretty interchangeable. In all, I don't think I'll be driving all the way out there again after this experience. Maybe for the soup, just maybe. read more

Great fresh food. Taste is amazing. Little spicy but we flavourful. Highly recommend.

There is no option for 0 stars, so here's 1. The food here is terrible and unpalatable. We ordered momos, she got my order wrong. We ordered chicken lollipop, it was not cooked. There were 3 other entries and none of them could be even edible. By far my worst experience in a restaurant. read more

The food is consistently good. Paneer Szechuan in gravy is ok not great. Manchurian gravy is better than Szechuan but paneer "65" is still the safest and the best bet same as gobi 65. Can't wait to go back and try something new. If you are paying by card, they require you to add the tip amount on the bill so they can charge the tip to your card. I don't know yet if tipping is really mandatory at this restaurant but will find out on my next visit. read more

Schezwan chicken lollipop !!!!! its a total highlight for this place .... its a must try for everyone who goes here ..... they have great fish n chicken pakoras ... descent indo chinese food ... prices are reasonable too... i have taken off 1 star for service ad its very very slow .... but again anything for those Schezwan chicken lollipop !!!!! dont forget to try those .... read more

Halal Chinese Food in the same complex as another similar place Inchin Bamboo. Hakka Wok stands out as it's privately owned and the owner and chef truly put their heart into the food they prepare. The food is slightly on the pricey side but the portions and taste is good. I love their chicken momos with the gree saunce and their burnt garlic fried rice is pretty good. read more

Love this place wish they had a hotel attached-i'd frkn move in. Great fresh food, hot, tasty Omg Masala soda brings back my childhood memories read more

More like a 3.5 but I'm rounding up. The food was really good but beware...it is REALLY spicy. If you see 2 chili peppers by the name, it will burn all the way down. We really like spicy food but wish we'd ask them to tame a bit. The hot and sour soup was delicious but it made my stomach feel off. The chili chicken and dry chili potatoes were awesome and we had more than enough for leftovers the next day. Also we had some sort of paneer appetizer that was really good too - a combo of sweet and spicy. I'd describe this place as 'good Indo-Chinese food that won't break the bank.' As others mentioned, the restaurant is small with ~10 tables but I liked it cozy. The service was good albeit a little slow as the place was packed. Also an offer for a free egg roll popped up when I checked in. The waitress was really confused about it and had to ask the manager about it which took forever. I guess we were the first ones to check in and us the offer. We don't live in Schaumburg but would check it out if we were in the area again. read more

We had bad experience in this place. Saw good reviews for this place but found insect in manchaw soup. Would nvr visit again read more

Finally had a chance to hunt-down and try the slightly re-incarnated Hot Wok Village which used to be a regular stop for us. Feels much different in this little strip-mall unit and thus suffered from just a single waitress working when we stopped by (Saturday lunchtime) so we had to be wait around for water refills or the check, but we were not in any hurry luckily. The menu looks very similar to what HKV had, but with some new items. We decided on the fried pork dumpling appetizer and green Thai Curry Chicken, both of which were really good. The veggies really soaked in the green curry flavor and the chicken was good quality. read more

This review ended up getting long so here's the summary: - HOUR long wait to get our food with 3 people on the floor for only 6 seated tables - mediocre food, gloppy multipurpose Chinese food sauce - explosive bathroom trip when getting home - sore stomachs the next morning - desperately needs adult supervision Seriously, Bombay Chopsticks is down the street. Save yourself from a bad night (and morning). Our party arrived around 8:50PM last night and requested a table for four. We proceeded to wait 20 minutes for a totally empty table to be cleared. Eventually we just sat down after they took the dishes. One of us had to get up and request someone from the front come wipe down our table because flagging down a server was impossible. The guy who wiped down the table brought out a wet rag, wiped the table, left us with a wet table to go get a dry rag, came back to dry the table. We waited another 15 minutes until going up to the front again to request someone to take our order. Once they came we placed the full order instead of starting with appetizers, etc. As he was walking away we had to shout out that we'd like some water too. In total, it took an hour between when we could have been seated and when our food actually came. What shocks me about the awful service was that there were 7 seated tables and 3 servers on the floor. How is this possible! Once we got the food, it was ok but not great. The fried rice was bland and the chicken lollipops had almost no seasonings. The paneer 65 was good but everything else was this gloppy, generic Chinese food sauce they could have put on everything. It was fireworks when we got home and a few of us still have stomach aches the next morning. This memory is enough to deter me from returning. I would never go back to Hakka Wok especially with Bombay Chopsticks right down the road. Save yourself the hour wait, the bland food, and the miserable bathroom trip after. read more

food sucks. !!! Got a very bad stomach ache. The server was good. The manager or owner (was wearing glasses ) whoever he was ..was so rude. His customer service was pathetic .My 4 yr old was trying to lightly touch and play with the fish tank , but this manager or owner was so rude to him . I felt like throwing my entree on his dumb face. I would recommend everyone not to take ur kids to this restaurant. I love Chinese food but his food was terrible. And it was not even busy on Friday night. . read more

Their momos were literally fried frozen stuff. People in there just didnt seem like they were happy working there. Just the worst place around for some hakka style chinese. read more

Well, uhmm.. Why is the restaurant advertised as "Chineese/Indian/Pakistani", anything but that. It is an overstatement to say "Indo-Chineese". They should just term the food - "Rice'n' Noodles". On the menu - the appetizers look good, we ordered the chicken lollipop - that was good, then the chicken pakora - not good. Please waste of money, DO NOT ORDER THAT. (It is just chicken-stuffed balls fried, no veggie, no spices). Total disappointment. :( For entree, let's see.. They did not have a single bread on the menu, guess what they had .. Oh yes, you guessed it right - Noodles and Rice.. Well, atleast they had some variety there - so if you like those, this is the place to be. I had ordered the chicken/shrimp pad thai - uhh. Tired of telling it was below par, it was just thick noodles with some spices and turmeric, with some chicken and shrimp. My friends ordered the spicy tofu entree with rice, he said that was OK. The other two shared pepper chicken gravy and chicken manchurian fried rice, which they said was pretty good. But, I didn't like both, was ok. Service is soo slow here, by god. Please guys .. I don't think you should be eating in front of us, atleast eat in the kitchen, not near the billing counter, especially when you have customers without food. Sheesh.. Ahh well.. Need I say more? :| read more

We ordered take out, food tasted stale. One of the worst food I have ever eaten. We dumped all the food because it was soo bad.

Food gets a million stars. But service gets about one because they seem to only have 2 people working at a time. Even carryout takes long a time. Manchow soup, ginger chicken and manchurian chicken are good. read more

This location used to house a favorite Thai restaurant of mine. When I saw the word "Hakka" in the name of its replacement, I knew I had to investigate further. Chinese cuisine by way of India? Sure, why not, I'll try it for lunch some time. That day finally arrived, and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. The manchow soup was tasty, as was the manchurian chicken. Both had just enough spiciness without overpowering the dishes. Worth a second trip from me, whereupon I'll try a 2 chili pepper dish, and also determine if a fourth star is in its future (really wanted to this time but just couldn't). read more

One of the worst places to eat in Schaumburg. We were the only party there. Still it took them 20 mins to come to take order. Food was awful and taste bad. Everything was very dirty. The waiter was scratching his balls and brought food with same dirty hands. I had to go to another restaurant to remove the bad taste from my mouth. Would report to food inspectors about the hygiene. read more

Menu says they serve Jain food but the employees don't understand what it means. Ordered Jain Manchurian ($15 no less) and after I went to pick it up, they said it is Chicken Manchurian! That's not what I ordered!! The employee went back in the kitchen, came back with Jain Chicken Manchurian! What?? There is no meat in Jain food. It is clear that the employees did not know what Jain food is made out of! They offered to give me Jain vegetables Manchurian, which I thought I should have gotten ta first place, but it was getting late for me so I cancelled the order. I hope they train their employees better than today. And if not, do not put note in the menu if your employees can not fulfill customer needs!! read more

This place stands out for its indo-chinese food! I've been here quite many times, tried many dishes and have never ever got disappointed. Oh and their masala soda, it's simply awesome!

10/06/2012: Arrived with my family group of 10 people. Restaurant is pretty small and was quickly filled up. I guess they were not expecting a large crowd on a late Saturday Lunch. We ordered bunch of items. including Chicken Corn Soup,Chicken Pakora, Fried Chicken Momo, Mongolian Trio, Mongolian Beef, Honey Sesame Chicken, General Tso's Chicken, Hakka Chowmein, Szechuan Chicken & Chicken Fried Rice. First of all the service is very bad. The restaurant filled up really fast and the Kitchen staff fail to handle the orders. We had to wait almost 30 mins for appetizers. front of the house was also having a nightmare with a huge crowd. The guy serving us was asked at least 5 times for cold water, but he failed to get it to us. I finally had to go to counter and ask him. Same thing with the serving plates. Fried rice ... All I can say I had better. Now let's focus on other stuff. Star of the food was Mongolian Beef, Excellent taste and presentation. Very tender chunks of Beef. All the family liked this place. Yes I would go back. They seriously need to focus on training their staff. The staff was lost and dumb founded to see a large crowd. They need to get some extra plates. As the guy was cleaning the plates with a table cloth napkin standing behind the counter for the guest who were waiting for the food. Over all I would recommend this place for food but... it lacks service. Ambiance is OK. read more

This place was surprisingly good. Based on the mix reviews, I wasn't expecting too much. We ordered several things but the chili paneer, Szechuan chicken lollipops, magnolias trio, and Manchow soup stood out. Service was good and the food came out fast. We had a party of 10! Half of our party had severe peanut allergies and they were able to accommodate our orders to make sure there were no nuts. We will go back! read more

So today we placed an order over the phone and we were told that the order would be ready in 15-20 mins. So we drove to Hakka woK which is about 15 mins from us, when we get there, there is a long line, we pay and patiently wait. After waiting for nearly an hour and a half our food is still not ready, we didn't order much, 4 bowl of the same soup, one rice order and one fish. But somehow even after an hour of being there, our food isn't ready What was worse was that the guy behind the coUnter was still taking orders and telling everyone that their food would be ready inn 15-20 mins So after nearly 90 mins our baby can no longer wait, so I go to the counter and ask for a refund and politely tell him that if it was going to take this long then don't tell people 15-20 mins. The guy replied "I am doing what I am told to do". When I tell him that you just told someone in front of me that it will be 15-20 mins when we and others have been waiting over an hour, he replied "I can do this SHIT with you all day" Well Hakka wok you definitely lost us as customers read more
