Hung Food Cooking Limited

You come to dragon centre for one thing only, fried chicken from the only surviving food court stall. The whole building is on its last legs, and this is the only business still thriving. You will be missed when the end finally comes. Thank you for the memories. I hope the memories of a bustling Dragon Centre lives on for those who use to frequent this iconic mall.

Don't be fooled by the surroundings, it's not esthetically pleasing, but the food is good! Known to most as #44! The fried chicken on fried rice is their best seller. Hence, #44 on the menu. Used to be a super cheap 8 bucks! Now it's 15.50. Can still feed a family of 3 twice! Not everything is glittering gold people. So don't be put off when you walk in here.

I used to live around the area and remembered when Dragon Centre was lively with other shops and restaurants. I'm surprised that despite all the hardships throughout the years, Hung Food has continued to be in business. After 10+ years since having their famous chicken fried rice, I decided to come back and visit. I was met with a lot of surprise, nostalgia and sadness. Hung Food is the only restaurant that persists in the food court area. The other two food booths have become storage. It was only the lady at the front and one chef. The menu is completely non-existent. I'm pretty sure you can only order pork/chicken fried rice with exceptions to the fried squid and other more costly dishes. They only take cash so we came prepared. I felt sad, feeling like they deserved more - a new place to cook, more traction, and a cleaner dining area. The tables LOOK sticky and the walls are met with holes and burn marks. If you're going to visit, don't expect customer service. I've seen some reviews talking about it but that's just how they've always done business for as long as I can remember. ONTO THE FOOD - Exactly the same as I remember when I was a kid. I was super excited and enjoyed the same tastes of both the chicken and pork. They cook the fried rice a certain way and it definitely brought back memories. I'm not sure if it's worth the trip but definitely a good place to stop by when you're in the area and want some Chinese food.

This small but popular for mostly takeouts has been in existence for 4 decades since the early '80s. Located inside the Dragon Centre at 23 Glen Watford Dr Scarborough, ON, with only less than 5 stores now open will likely all be closed down when the building gets demolished to make way for a highrise condo. The prices has almost tripled compared to 20 years ago but the large servings make up the cost (almost). Deep fried calamari is way to expensive to order. It will be sad to see this place shut down but time marches on and the owners will likely retire into the sunset once the order to vacate by the landlord/developers is handed to the remaining tenants.

Came here after watching the viral video about chicken steak rice. Food was mediocre and customer service was non existent. The entire plaza is falling apart - moldy walls, holes in roof/ceiling, etc. "Food court" consists of this one running stall and it's in a poorly light and run down corner - signage saying you can't eat there. Not sure how any of the stores are even up to code.

#44 - don’t believe all the hype you see on insta or tiktok, it’s not good, not bad either. Chicken is unevenly seasoned, some part is salty some tasted like burnt cooking oil. It wasn’t overly greasy like one would expect, which is good. Place really looked sketchy and dirty and didnt seem like it would get a permit to serve food. $17.50 (tax included) for a generous amount. I can tell people only comes back for nostalgic reasons.

By far one of the sketchiest places I have ever ordered food. Just because this mall looks like it could collapse at any moment does not mean this little restaurant can't cook. You know you come here for no. 44 although they raised their price from 14$ ish to 17$ the amount of food you get here is absolutely insane. My arm got a work out carrying out my meal. There was almost 6 servings of rice and 2 full cutlets. These boneless chicken cutlets were delicious. The oil they used must have absorbed so much flavor that at this point you can eat anything it cooks. I recommend this place when you trying to have 4 meals for the price of 1.

Located inside Dragon Centre, this is one of those IYKYK kind of places. Randomly stumbled upon this place while trying to look for a dessert spot around the area. The mall is very run down as I've heard they're demolishing the building for condos. I asked someone waiting for their food how this place was and they said they've been a customer since high school and now they're 40! I ordered the must try #44 for $16 and it was exactly what I expected. Generous portion of chicken and fried rice. The chicken was delicious and juicy. The fried rice was a bit plain, but everyone else recommended to get some chilli oil so I did the same and it definitely made it more tasty. They also serve party platters of #44 for $60. This hole in the wall isn't for everyone. I'd come back.
