I ordered catering and the service leading up to it was terrible. They asked for 50% deposit via email transfer (which is fine), but afterwards, they are so rude. I spoke with Pauline and her attitude was not it. On the day of pick up, they claimed they didn't have my order and we had to go back and forth for 30 minutes. It was the most stressful and unpleasant experience. The food was fine but nothing amazing. Wouldn't order here again... read more

I needed to ordered some take out food in an unfamiliar locale and thanks to the many other Yelpers, I selected this place. I ordered Hakka Chow Mein and Spicy Dry Chili Chicken take out. They told me to come in 30 mins and I showed up a little early and the food was all ready for me. No issue with my order (exactly as orderd). Kind of annoyed with myself for not paying cash and saving 10% (I saw this after I left and read the take out menu I took). The Hakka Chow Mein was actually quite good-tasty, well prepared (noodles were not too hard/soft); we ordered spicy and it had a hint of spice but not enough kick. The Chili chicken was decent as well-they have dry or wet options-I ordered the dry and it was good but once again the spice did not have enough kick to it. However, keep in mind that I would not be their core client (who may not be able to handle very spicy food like I can). It was good but not as good as a few of the other Hakka places I would categorize as the "gold standard". They offer Halal as well. Would I come back? For sure! This is a decent place in this part of the 905! read more

It is my first time eating Hakka food. I am not sure it is Hakka food in general or just this restaurant, the food is so heavy, oily, salty and filled with MSG. We were buying grocery in the Freshco nearby and we decide to try out this restaurant. I went to this restaurant and ordered the couple's special. I know Hakka food is one cooking style in China; however, the food here tastes like westernized Chinese food. It tastes like the Mandarin buffet. For 2 people, it costs around $40. Even though the portion is good but I probably would not come here again. read more

Food is just average - nothing unique or outstanding. Would it be a place I would come back? No I would not - but if it's the only place around - it's fair enough. Also, although they DID fix our order, the fact that it took so much convincing that they got it confused. Idk why it was that hard to say "oh no worries we will change it". Ah well. read more

We have tried both the dine in and take out. I would definitely advise to give yourself extra time if it is for take out as they are usually back logged. The food is good. We have tried to gobi manchurian, baby corn. paneer pakora, and chili paneer. I loved the gobi and paneer pakora. It is a good spot for hakka food and more so for their great lunch specials. read more

This place is takeout only and looks to be closing soon. The inside feels like a Shanghai lockdown, all Armageddon like. Food is just ok, not worth $$. Many new and pleasant Hakka places opening up and others are better options. read more

Went back for lunch, apprehensive this time as I seem to have a track record of loving the first visit and then a total fail on the 2nd. This time I ordered the "lunch special" Manchurian chicken which is my go to Hakka meal, it came with white rice, spring roll and choice of pop or soup for $8.95. I had the corn chicken soup which was safe and no spice, however, it was tasty. The Manchurian chicken was great! decent amount of spice not overly hot, breading was still in tack and some pieces were crispy despite being a saucy dish, no cartilage and freshly made. I found the portion size I was given not large as others reported, I would say the size served was average. I feel $8.95 was on the steep side for this lunch special, most of the time this dish goes for 5.95 in most Scarborough Hakka establishments and I usually can't finish the plate. Substitutes were available for extra, I did not participate since adding to the already inflated price was not in my interest. If you are with a few people who enjoy the same, I would suggest ordering off the regular menu, seems a better value since most main dishes already include the rice. As far as service, again no issues, they even came over to ask how everything was and if we needed anything else. Did not have any of the other issue my fellow Yelpers had in the past. Overall, I think this place is a hidden gem, Hakka in Vaughan! Who would have thought this was possible. I think I finally found my go to Hakka place out of Scarborough! read more

Not impressed. Found black hairs in our food. Waitress seemed unconcerned, as she was preoccupied with take out orders. As we left, drove passed back doors and saw Cook sitting on a pail smoking cigarette in his apron. Definitely a bad sign . Sorry to say, this was a bad experience. read more

My friend and I decided to stop by for dinner on our way home from the mall. This is the first Hakka place in Vaughan that I have been too. We were expected a huge line up but thankfully it wasn't that busy when we went. It's all small restaurant with very sweet staff. The lady at the register was so nice to talk to. They provided us with the menu and we placed for order for take-out. The wait for the food was not long, about 10-15 mins. We order the Bombay chicken, Manchurian chicken, veggie Manchurian, fried rice, spicy Hakka chow mein noodles, and two spring rolls. Everything tasted amazing! There were no complaints on the taste or the food. Will definitely be going back. All the best in the new business! :) read more

PAID FOR NOODLES, but got rice. Don't think I will return. Since the moment I walked in the man taking my order was in a rush and could barely let me finish. Then when I was about to pay she to make sure everything was right, the lady cashing me out said "one noodle one rice" I thought "okay she knows what I want" obviously she didn't. Don't bother going here. read more

Recently heard that a hakka place opened up in my hood so I thought I'd give it a try. Ordered the chicken pakoras and bombay chicken to go and the odor in my car driving the food home got the taste buds going. The pakoras are red in colour, actually kinda dark brown. The taste wasn't bad and will hold you over until you manage to visit Fedricks (cuz that is the benchmark when it comes to hakka in the 6). The bombay chicken was something I thought I would give a try although I normally get the chilli chicken. The flavours were similar to the chilli chicken dishes i've tried in the past and on my next visit I think I would go for the chilli chicken. Steam rice accompanied this dish and portions were generous as as is typical with hakka dining. Next time I'll dine in and try the Manchurian dishes as previous Yelp reviews commented that the spice level was on the mild side. I however felt they were enjoyable enough! But know I can eat hot!! Glad to have this place close to home! See you again. read more

Updating to 5 stars as i've been here a few times and it only gets better Some surprises too like how GOOD the hot and sour soup is. Also love how cheap and fast their lunch specials are. $8.99 for a large lunch which includes main, choice of rice, spring roll and soup or pop. Love this place read more

This is an Indian/Chinese fusion place. Fairly small (I think only 8 or 10 tables). Most of the dishes were either Indian *or* Chinese, not a combination, but there was one Indian chow mein on the menu, which is interesting, and of course you could get your Butter Chicken with fried noodles! :) A group of us came here for lunch. $8.95 lunch special, each of us got something different, we all really liked our meal and were filled up. 3 of us loved our meals, Jessica enjoyed hers but thought that they should have specified that the Bombay Chicken was fried chinese-style. Personally, I don't think that was such a big deal since it is a fusion place. read more

So I've tried this place twice - takeout both times. The first time I ordered the manchurian beef with white rice. It was a tad spicy but very saucy that just coated the dry, grainy, cool white rice. Beef was ok. Overall it was maybe on par with what you'd get at a Manchu-wok at your standard food courts. My second time, I decided to order a chicken one, and looking through the list of uninspiring names, I selected the Bombay chicken with fried rice. The fried rice was just a little better than the white, but it's clearly the same as what you would get from said food court option above. The Bombay chicken.. I honestly can't make out what a "Bombay chicken" should be. The name itself doesn't tell me anything. The flavor didn't stand out. The side spring roll and sweet and sour soup were typical as what you'd get anywhere else. Only thing positive is their lunch pricing. Anyhow, I need to break from writing now 'cuz I'm reallly thirsty!!!!!! read more

Taste of Hakka - Bombay chicken + fried rice - Hakka Near Me - Vaughan, Ontario

I'm no expert on Indian and Asian cuisine, but I know what I like, and I like Taste of Hakka. Having been to the one in Scarborough, I was happy to spot this location not far from home in Vaughan. The Bombay Chicken is probably my favourite item, but I like a lot of the other dishes too, like the Szechuan chicken and the Manchurian chicken. The various pakoras options are a tasty appetizer to start things off too. I think I've had them all by now. The staff are always very nice, and it's always been clean inside. Woohoo! read more

Highly disappointed with the customer service. This will be the last time I order takeout from this place. The food quality is good, it's only the service that really needs help. Also, the food is overpriced based on what you get. The pakora sauce which can't cost more then 20 cents to make is being sold for $3. Even after spending $300 worth of food this month they can't throw in a 20 cent sauce. I am very disappointed. I hope 20 cents is worth loosing a valuable customer for 15+ years. If the owner would like to contact me you know how to get in touch. This won't be my last review. I would be happy to remove this review and others if this price gouging stops. read more

Had to bump up from my original 4 1/2 stars. On my last visits, the food has been over the top good. Flavourful, spicy, plentiful, and fantastic ! Prices are reasonable. I highly recommend the spicy garlic chicken, chilli chicken dry, spicy vegetable rice, chilli beef.....however everything is good. Kudos also to the Bombay chicken and the Szechuan chicken. Their lunch specials are a great price point. read more

My brother recommended this place and thank god for it cause I have been tired of certain multi location chains in Markham/Stouffville area. Black pepper beef was a hit. Hakka noodles were on point. Fried rice is fried rice... It's pretty standard at all Hakka places. If you mess up fried rice, you better re-consider a different business venture. Crispy ginger chicken had a honey garlic touch to it. Will definitely try other menu items on the next visit... Soon! read more

After reading the reviews on here, my family and I decided to come here and now we're frequent customers here for both dine-in and take-out! Our favourites include the Spicy Special Fried Rice (really spicy!!), Special Hakka Chow Mein, Lemon Chicken and Hot & Sour Soup. The dishes are flavourful and quite large portions. The servers here are polite and provide great service. If you're around here during the afternoon, their lunch specials are worth trying! read more

Taste of the food was very average. But most importantly the customer service is the worst that I have experienced in the country. The American chopsuey was wayyyyyy toooooo sweet & when we mentioned that to the Owner she said that's the way it is & may be you don't know how an American chopsuey tasted. At any other restaurant they would have just changed or taken back the dish but she was realllllyyy rude. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Good place to have lunch. They have lots of options for lunchtime for the price of 8.95 plus tax. Comes out to be about 11. I ordered the Manchurian beef and my friend got the general tao chicken. The Manchurian beef had the right amount of spice to it. But wish it had a bit more flavour. But after trying the general tao chicken and egg noodles it was great. The lunch meal also comes with a choice of soup or pop. We had the corn soup of the day, which I was good. I suggest trying that for a nice cold day. I am definitely goinf back to check out what more they can offer. read more

Chinese spot with a twist of desi food and flavour!! Their hot and sour soup is my favorite!!! Comes in a huge bowl (large) and is for about 3 people! They have great lunch options, and a la carte also. All there noodles are delicious but pretty spicy! Sit down spot is nice too, usually a lot of people there. Try the Shanghai noodles and Hakka Noodles read more

Visited this new establishment over lunch hour for take out. I love how fast their service is. I had the peanut chicken dish which was alright. I asked how spicy was it and the man had said it wasn't too bad. Well friends, it was prettttty spicy. I was actually sweating. I'd be happy go back another day and try other items on the menu. Good price for the serving size. read more

A nice find for the woodbridge-maple area Tried the deep fried spicy fish and the chili chicken and both were good. The fish was really good and i will definitely be ordering again. The chicken was good as well but felt a little wet for the dry variation, all in all it was good and would probably have been better had I not done take out and had it get soggy from the container (food for thought for those calling ahead). I'd give it a 3.5/5 I've most definitely had better but due to location I can see myself ordering again. Will be sampling other offerings from the menu. read more

We weren't a fan of the flavours. Maybe Hakka isn't for us, but at the same time we can tell the food was greasier than it needed to be. We don't have a whole lot of experience with Hakka food, but we know that we didn't fully enjoy what we ate. Furthermore, I had to wait a long time to pick up my take-out order. Either they didn't have enough cook staff, or they just like taking their time. There were several of us waiting to get our take-out meals, and only a couple of tables were occupied. The customer before me was complaining that she had been told it would only take 5-10 minutes for her order but that she had already waited 25 minutes, and I watched her wait 15 minutes more before she got her order. I cannot imagine what kind of chaos it would be if there had been a full-house on a friday night dinner. read more

This place is absolutely amazing! I live the food! The chilly chicken, pad Thai everything I drive half and hour each eat because it is delicious! Make sure you give it a try hard to find a great restaurant nowadays and this is it read more

Meh. Food tasted pretty bland to me. If you are going to open a Hakka joint a piece of advice don't be shy with the chili, garlic and ginger or else you are just serving greasy, low quality food. I ordered chili chicken dry extra spicy and it wasn't hot at all. Biggest pet peeve is restaurants holding back on the heat because they've been scared by mungee cake diners who can't handle any heat at all. When I go for Hakka, I want the f'n heat. Suggestion.. the chef here should go hang out with the dude at Federick to get a clue. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night to order take out. There were already 8 people before me so I was a bit skeptical about the time but it only took around 25 minutes. Now onto the food... The food itself wasn't bad. The manchurian spicy fried rice and spicy chow mein were pretty good! Not the best I've ever had, but still good. We also got the spicy garlic chicken which wasn't that great. It was pretty bland and didn't really taste like anything. All in all, it's not a bad place but there's definitely better in the area! read more

I loved the food, they serve very big portions was very quick to come out. The workers were nice and pleasant and were always asking if we need anything. I would recommend this place read more

What their food lacks in flavour, they make up for with enthusiasm. The staff is truly passionate about Hakka cuisine and are quick to offer suggestions for first- timers. Unfortunately while dining here I found myself reaching for the salt shaker more than once... the only spice/ seasoning that seemed to be used was black pepper. I tried two dishes; Black Peppercorn Chicken and Chilly Chicken (the latter was highly recommended by our server) and I have to say neither offered much in the flavour department. I did enjoy their Potato Spring Rolls though. Those were unique and quite tasty . read more

This is my new go-to place for hakka food. Passed by this place and was hungry for something different. This is mainly a take-out place with a no frills interior. Order ahead of time as they make everything fresh (no heat lamps here). Their Singapore noodles are spot-on and the chili chicken (no gravy) is the best chili chicken in the city. The dishes come with steamed rice. The portions are big enough for 4 people, so order wisely or save some for the next day. One star off for not including enough chili sauce with the order. However, very happy with the food and truly hakka. read more

Great food and the portion is more than enough for the amount of money yout pay. I had the Manchurian Chicekn with rice, very flavourfoul and the sauce is not thick read more

Good food, nice staff.. my go to place when im craving chowmein. Prices are good too.

This is our go to place for chinese take out. They are always good and consistent. We often order the dinner for four, but truthfully am much happier when we order a la carte. I find that the dishes on the pre-set menu pretty much taste the same. read more

Got takeout on a weekday night.. Called in my order over the phone.. Seemed pretty painless to order.. Arrived at the restaurant.. It Didnt seem too busy.. A Few tables were occupied with customers.. Got Fish pakora.. Chilli chicken (dry)... Crispy ginger beef.. Quality and flavours were on point... Quite happy with the food.. 10% discount on takeout orders over 25$ paid with cash.. Thou generally the prices are a little more compared to other hakka restaurants Ive been too... They asked if i wanted complimentary rice with my order.. Its free so of course i said yes.. Not sure why they would even asked.. (Hoping i would say no?) They put some packets of hot sauce with my order.. But it appears they also have pre packaged containers of chilli sauce that they have self serve at their tables.. I had to ask them before they gave them to me.. close to my home so i am quite happy to have a Hakka restaurant nearby.. Likely to get takeout again... read more

Great food!! We ordered Bombay paneer and spicy Hakka noodles, loved it. The place is clean and service is very friendly.

Largely avoided Taste of Hakka, as there are more reputable and well-reviewed Hakka places. However took a chance and it went beyond expectation. Food was as excellent as those in Scarborough, but without the hole-in-the-wall vibe (as most of these places are... which makes it a hassle when you want to celebrate a more formal occasion). Ordered: Chilli Chicken Dry, Dry Sautéed Beans, Hot and Sour Soup (to start) and everything was delicious! Ingredients used were fresh and you taste the spices used. Being a person who went to a couple Hakka establishments, my experience was on par with the best of them. We thought the chilli chicken could use a bit more crisp, however when we relayed this thought, our server said to mention it next time and they will have it done right. To emphasize, there is nothing wrong with that. Some people prefer the chicken to be slightly soft, and some prefer it to be much crispier. Even without the slight preference, I would rate this a 5/5. Not sure why this place is 3.5 stars, but it can be that most of the reviews are takeout. Since the chicken was slightly soft, it may end up soggy at the end of the trip when one does takeout. Regardless, I will be coming back with friends and family, and definitely recommend dine-in, as opposed to taking out. ****** Update: Tried their takeout, and seen no problem. Although, I have requested for the chilli chicken to be crispier, so when it goes home it will be just right. read more
