Hakka No. 1 Cuisine

This place is by far the best for Indo-Chinese food—way better than spots like Mannat. The flavors are amazing, and the portions are huge. If you’re missing the taste of home and craving real street food vibes, you need to come here. I’m vegetarian, so I only ordered vegetarian dishes, and they were incredible—super flavorful, exactly how street food should be. It’s nothing like the bland stuff you get at other places. Highly recommend checking it out!

Our first time to this decent restaurant. Server Jane was professional and service was excellent. The food quality is very good with ample amount per dish. Spice level was okay while the dishes were served quickly. We enjoyed the lunch while restaurant was not busy so our group could easily talk and laugh without awkwardness. Over all experience was good except they do not carry coffee mug while drinking warm water with lemon in plastic glasses was weird feeling!!! We requested them to arrange coffee mugs for next visit 😊

I visited Hakka No 1 and was delighted by their affordable and delicious dishes. The restaurant looked rather dated, with its name in large, bold characters. What stood out to me was that they had LLBO dine-in and offered takeout. Their phone number was prominent as well. Inside looked just as dated, with plenty of seats but overall dim lighting. The red seats did not even stand out. We decided to dine in. The menu indicated that a 13% tip would be added automatically for dine-ins. It certainly had a lot to offer, with menu item numbers going above 230. Here's what I tried: #01 Chicken Pakora: A great choice on our part, 10 large pieces of breaded chicken were served with a lemon wedge and chilli mayo. They were red, which I found striking. I enjoyed the taste of mildly spicy chicken. The sauce was okay, but I mostly enjoyed the chicken without it. #22 Hot and Sour Soup with Seafood: I wasn't a big fan of this famous Chinese appetizer. It had all the right ingredients, but it was a bit too sour for my taste. #75 Manchurian Beef with Gravy: I loved this dish. The spicy beef strips were tender and juicy. The sauce was hot and savoury, and it went well with steamed rice that we ordered. #169 Chicken Ho-Fun: Another great choice, this rice-noodle stir fry dish was mild and had many tender chicken strips to fill me up. There was only one person serving, but there was no one else dining, so her checking in on us every now and then was more than good enough for us in terms of service. The table and some eating utensils were sticky, showing age. Disposable chopsticks were available upon request, which was nice. The washroom was serviceable but not clean. Despite some of the flaws I found in the restaurant, their dishes tasted good. I was surprised to see how affordable the food was. Given this, I would recommend getting takeout from this restaurant for its great value. I might actually return to try some of their other dishes to go.

Had an amazing experience at Hakka No. 1 Cuisine! The ambiance is ok but it’s a perfect space for a relaxed meal with your friends. The service was super quick and efficient. The food was super tasty and the portions were huge – definitely great value for money. If you're Indian or a fan of Indo-Chinese cuisine, this place will hit all the right notes. Highly recommend trying their fried rice and Manchurian. It's some of the best veg Chinese food I've had so far!

This is a relatively cheap spot with great tasting food and decent sized portions. We usually do take away from here at least a couple of times a month. I’m surprised to see the bad reviews and even seem silly as many of them are by frequent customers. This isn’t a fine dining establishment and we rarely ever dine in but it’s great for good food at reasonable prices with a short turnaround time. Our favorites here are the hakka noodles with chicken and the bombay chicken (dry). The pakoras and chili chicken are also decent. We haven’t had trouble paying by card here even though yes they “prefer” cash. Recommend it for good hakka!

First of all the food varies greatly depending on the day; you order a hot and sour soup and get varying results which is pretty disappointing as you won’t know until you get all the way home if it’s going to taste decently. Most concerning to me is that their website is entirely inaccurate: it says in bold writing that the chicken dishes come with steamed rice, we get home to find no rice. We called back to inquire and they said they haven’t offered this for years. Then why is it still in bold on their website? There is zero info on what is in the dishes so navigating their menu, if you have diet restrictions or allergies, is risky. They also have no prices on their website either which is very strange as you have no idea what they are charging till you get there. Last time they quoted my husband a certain price on the phone and because they ONLY take cash ( this in itself seems off to me ) he only brought the amount needed, so he had to go back to the car to get more money. Seems very shady in my opinion and odd as this cash only thing had only been a recent change in the last few years or so. We stopped going due to their inconsistency in food quality and poor service a while ago, but decided to try them again as some time had passed. The prices are also not that reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes; This time we only ordered 2 dishes and a med hot and sour soup and it was $50 and we’re paying cash so are they charging tax? No clue as they don’t even provide a receipt, just an order ticket for the kitchen. Compared to the competition and considering all the issues I’ve mentioned, it’s really not worth the price point. Overall we’ve been to this place at least 7 times and it has been differed each time. Transparency, consistency and customer service are a necessity in the food industry, which they are categorically failing in. So with all the competition we will not be venturing back to this place again.

Visited Hakka No. 1 Restaurant with a few friends, we walked in and were seated right away. Staff were friendly, service was quick. Menu is very vegetarian friendly! We ordered Stir Fried Mixed Vegetables w. Tofu, Paneer in gravy, Manchurian Hakka Vegetable Noodles (which were amazing), and Vegetable Fried Rice. Everything was really delicious and filling. Price is $-$$. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

I went to this location twice now, and it was great and fast service with a friendly smile we had our dinner fast. Food portions was good for the price , we had chicken noodles soups it was decent not much can be said it my taste buds wasnt dancing or nothing lol, we also had chicken curry and fry rice with roast chicken. That taste was ok however chicken was very very dry almost impossible to taste the flavor. Chicken curry was a sauce rather than an authentic curry but it wasn't bad the meat was deep fried chicken with flavor which was disappointing sinse chicken curry should have proper chicken hench the name 'HAKKA" restaurant serving authentic Chinese and Indian dish. I have notice the two times I went here most people was having take out rather than dining in we were the only ones both time that was dining in there atmosphere and ambience needs some work.
