Loved the food! They have something called Hakka squid which is very similar to the Srilankan hot butter cuttlefish. The service was excellent and everything we ordered was so yummy! Would definitely recommend this place!

I had Manchurian chicken with vegetables over white rice and it was delicious. I’m surprised there weren’t more people there as the food was really good and the price is fair. I used to go to this place when it was China cottage and I’m glad that the food is still great.

My husband and I have been going for years. We started when they were China Cottage. I think it's the same family. Anyways, we like their lunch special and we're always greeted with a friendly smile. We've been there for dinner many times. The prices are good, better than most restaurants. The atmosphere is quiet and spacious, which we like after a hard day of work. The food is good, Hakka flavours which we're familiar with. Highly recommend!

I stopped in here for lunch with my aunt and uncle recently. They had been here before and said it was good. Unfortunately, I have to disagree. We ordered from their lunch specials menu - Beef with Tomatoes, Chicken with Vegetables, and Manchurian Beef. A bowl of Hot and Sour Soup was included with each meal. Two of us opted for an egg roll while my uncle chose a can of pop, also included. The soup arrived quickly and was steaming hot. It was definitely more on the sour side, with a strong flavour of cilantro. Our main course appeared shortly after, all steaming hot. My uncle had requested extra gravy with his beef and tomato dish but it was virtually swimming in gravy. My aunt's chicken dish had lots of vegetables, not so much chicken. My Manchurian beef dish had a lot of dark soy sauce heavy gravy. This was very different from anywhere else I've had this dish, and not in a good way. It was obvious to me that all these dishes were cooked in a vessel that was not hot enough. There was no caramelization on any of the food, therefore lacking flavour. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

The food comes out quickly. It’s always hot, fresh and flavourful. It’s a perfect place to buy a couple dishes that the whole family can share and enjoy! Veggie Pakora, Hot and sour soup, and chilli chicken are my top choices.

I went to this restaurant called "Pepper Hakka & Thai Cuisine" and I tasted the delicious "hakka noodles with beef", a succulent dish called "Pla Tod Spice Fish" with bamboo and a traditional thai dish "chicken chow mein" ultra spicy (it make me sweat and cry, haha). I liked so much the food, it was delicious, hot and ready. The portions are very generous. The service is very good, they are so kind and they sure everything is great. They have a lot of vegetarian options too! We ordered some thai noodles with vegetables and a hot seafood soup. Specially thanks to Manu for all his atentions.

Local restaurant serving Hakka Chinese and Thai food. We ordered takeout which takes 15-20 minutes. Service was quick and clear The restaurant is open inside with a lot of tables, but didnt see many dine-in guests. Great portions of food with affordable price. The house fried rice is great, a lot of rice with chicken and shrimps. The Manchurian chicken tasted good and quite spicy, saucy tho it was not very crunchy. Ginger beef is a bit disappointing. We chose the crispy option but it was not, flavor is okay but the beef is dry chewy and soggy. i would comeback for fried rice but not other dishes.
