Hakka Fusion

Don’t believe the reviews here. The food was absolutely terrible. We ordered chilli chicken hot and sour soup and American chop suey. Chilli chicken is a staple at every hakka restaurant and some how they managed to ruin this. The soup was only sour and was missing any ingredient which would have made it even close to mediocre. The American chop suey was cold and flavourless. I wouldn’t even feed this garbage to my dog. The posts you read are probably written by family and friends

I was craving some Hakka food with my friends, so we decided to give this place a try
The waiter gave us lunch menus, without letting us know it was a lunch special menu. The menu had no indication of lunch anywhere on it. We ordered 4 plates between 3 people, thinking it would be too much food. Turns out it was a small lunch menu, and we got 4 orders of rice with meat portions we couldn’t decide between 3 people
We asked the waiter why the portions were so small and explained the miscommunication we must of had. He told us he assumed we waited a lunch special and didn’t give us the normal menu. He was unwilling to fix the mix up. So we ate our disappointment, left 4 mountains of rice, and went to McDonald’s

We were driving past and based on a past nearby Hakka food experience (we d been served elastic bands covered in sauce in our dish and when we complained they did nothing, but I digress) i first looked up reviews on my trusty Unilocal app. It looked good, so we went in. Glas tables were polished and immaculate, staff was super friendly and helpful. Manchurian soup was great, and everything we ordered was great. It had kick but was super flavourful. My new fave Hakka hangout!

Wanted to write about a recent incident which happened with my family on 22-​Jan-​2015. Went there around 9:00 PM to have dinner with family. The restaurant was all empty except one couple. First impression empty and not a warm welcome should have guessed something wrong. Anyhow wanted to give benefit of the doubt. Got the menu and ordered a few items. Cannot comment on the food as we never got to eat, was there for less than 10 minutes and walked out; but the customer service and the attitude was the WORST and non-​existent
My 2 year toddler son was excited seeing the fish in the fish tank and expressing his joy just by clapping and laughing out of excitement remaining in his seat all the time (normal behavior from a toddler), when the waiter walked to me and asked me to tone down my 2 year toddler. I asked if there was a problem and how I could stop the toddlers excitement. He was not running around or breaking things just enjoying himself watching the fish from his seat. I asked the waiter what the issue was, he said the customers will complain the toddler being loud !!! I was shocked, first of all there was only one customer and they seemed least bothered. The one who seemed most bothered was the waiter and his other waiter. I even asked the couple if they had any issue with the toddler enjoying.
I clearly was shocked and didn’t expect these words to tone down my little one; for a toddler enjoying himself. Anyhow I asked the waiter that he should put a board indicating «NO KIDS». I guess they need basics coaching of customer service and how to treat customers especially kids. When I complained that I was not happy with the attitude he seemed least bothered and the other waiter seemed least bothered too. I told them I want to leave and will write a review and they seemed least bothered and told me to teach manners to my 2 year old toddler and even asked me leave the restaurant. Manners as he was excited seeing the fish in the fish tank and expressing his joy !!! This was unbelievable. He was showing me the way out.
Anyhow a strong warning to anyone especially families with kids to think twice before entering this establishment Hakka Fusion. Save yourself a trip and your respect. Also for others customer service here is something that is not heard of. You have been warned.

My husband and I have dined here twice.
We’re not hakka ourselves, but enjoy hakka food.
It concerned me at first the place was empty, but we agreed the food was very good.
It tasted fresh enough, although some dishes were more salty than others.
I liked this restaurant more than spicy dragon because of the variety of mild to non spicy dishes.

As Hakka Chinese myself, I can’t recommend this place enough. Great Hakka cuisine located in the suburbs of Pickering. This place rivals most Hakka joints in Scarborough and Markham (I’ve tried them all) and is owned/​operated by Hakka Chinese! Only seconds away from the 401. Two words: Manchurian Soup. Probably the best I’ve ever had! Spicy and flavourful. Another goodie is the chili chicken. You can order them dry or with gravy. I recommend getting this dish with gravy, served over a bed of rice. So good. A traditional Hakka Chinese noodle dish worth trying is fung mi mein (stir fried noodle with molasses soy sauce). A true staple in my household. If you love Chinese, Indian or trying new and delicious cusine, visit Hakka Fusion. So good, you’ll be bragging about it!

We live in Ajax and discovered this restaurant by chance a couple of months ago. There aren’t many halal hakka chinese restaurants in the Pickering/​Ajax area, so we decided to give this one a shot. I am SOOO glad we did! The food is always fresh and delicious. Not too spicy/​oily. The restaurant is clean and usually quite empty but I do see a lot of pick up orders. I tried their lunch special the other day and was quite pleased with the quantity & quality considering the $ 6.50 price. Would definitely recommend that you check out this place! I have seen some indian/​thai options on their menu as well, but have not tried those as yet.

I went with my sister here tonight Sun Jun 24 2012 to order take out. Have been living in Pickering just around the corner from this restaurant since Sep 2011 and always wanted to try. I am soooooo glad we did. Awesome, AWESOME food!
Staff were two young gentlemen, so helpful, patient, polite and super knowledgeable between the two of them about the entire menu.
We ordered the chili fish and it was outstanding, melt in your mouth it was just amazing will definitely get this dish again.
Also ordered the pepper tofu dish again another huge winner. Very fresh and flavorful
And finally we had the Manchurian fried rice it was a great accompoaniment to the above dishes.
I must say I found my favorite Hakka restaurant in Pickering. Excellent we will def go back often.

Went to the place the other night & almost didn’t stay as it was empty around 7pm on Tuesday night. Service was good. They’re trying. Food was just ok, I’ve had better Hakka before in Scarborough & I would drive back there instead.

A great little Hakka place in Pickering! It’s convenient for me (which is a huge plus, I won’t deny it), but also a halal spot that does catering. I ordered some dishes for a housewarming party and it was well-​done and affordable.
When having sit-​down service, their servers are polite and observant, but not too aggressive. I’ve never ordered any of the Indian style dishes, so I’m not sure how much ‘fusion’ is really happening, but the Manchurian chicken, all the fried rices, and a number of the beef dishes are all great. Most are spicy, but not in a terrifying way that leaves you with burnt tastebuds.
I absolutely LOVE their hot-​and-​sour soup. It tastes even better the next day, if you have leftovers! I wish they’d stick in a few more shimp, but, hey, can’t win ‘em all…

Hakka yes, fusion, not so much.
We ordered three things from the menu:
1. Spring Rolls, while it was a good serving, we got 4 pieces, but they weren’t the best spring rolls I’ve had, so they can definitely do better when it comes to spring rolls.
2. Vegetarian Manchurian Pakoras — They weren’t that great at all, although I love manchurian (This is true indian/​chinese fusion food) but it didn’t live up to my expectations at all. They could’ve made those manchurians about half the size and used less flour and corn starch and cut the vegetables finer to add more flavour, instead all I could taste was the corn starch.
3. Vegetarian Hakka Noodles — Great noodles, this was well made and was very flavourful, if it wasn’t for this dish I would’ve been forced to give them 1 star instead of 2.
Service was excellent they were around when required and weren’t too pushy with anything.
Overall I won’t go here again as there are other Hakka places in town that have better flavour, I just wanted to try these guys out because they are much closer to where I live.

On a recent trip to Toronto we needed a last second Sunday lunch restaurant & someone suggested Hakka Fusion. Chinese food on a Sunday afternoon, good company, what else could you ask for?
The décor is sparse with a small bar at the back of the restaurant. The walls are empty though you can see the marks left by the previous owners Caribbean theme. Service is decent however w/​a large party order more food than you plan as the portions are slightly small.
The Hot & Sour soup is very good, the mango salad was spicy, and I’d also recommend the crispy beef which lives up to the name. That said the pad thai was panned across the board as tasteless. The single best dish on the menu: pakora (both shrimp & chicken) were fantastic and I’d be more than happy to order them and nothing else.
There is Indian food on the menu however no one ordered, not really sure why anyone would order butter chicken over any Chinese food?
