I recently visited this restaurant and had an incredible experience! The Hakka noodles and fired rice are hands down the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and absolutely delicious. The customer service was outstanding too; the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive, making the dining experience even better. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing food and top-notch service. Definitely a 10/10!

I’ve visited Khao Hakka Fresh twice now, and it’s quickly become my go-to spot for Indian-Chinese food in Toronto! I’ve tried a lot of places, but this is the first that truly delivers that authentic Indian twist I was looking for. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and the dishes capture the unique taste I grew up with. If you’re craving Indian-style Chinese food, I highly recommend giving Khao Hakka Fresh a try!🤌🏼

My friends and I ordered chili garlic noodles and hakka fried rice, it was affordable, food came relatively quick and tasted really good and they give alot of chicken. Friendly staff too. If youre in the area and hungry you should stop by 👍

Didn’t have the best expectations given what the store looked like, but I’m so glad I came here! The food is made to order so it tastes super fresh when they bring it to you. It’s very hot and steamy when you first get it and I love eating fresh food like that! The food is also bursting with flavor, which I really appreciate since sometimes “spicy” isn’t actually spicy, but you can trust their spice guides here! I got the chilli chicken lunch deal with fried rice, the fried rice could be a little better since there wasn’t much to it, but the chilli chicken was very flavourful and had so much garlic, which I love but also it was a little too much. The portion size is very big for only $12 as a lunch special!! You can’t find prices like that at restaurants nowadays. Honestly I really recommend this place if you just want a cheap simple lunch.

It's ok if you manage your expectations. The food could be better but acceptable for the price. Noodle dishes are not bad, I suggest you skip the fried rice though. The dining room is very basic so the take out is your best bet.

First time coming here and have low expectations since almost all the best Hakka places are in Scarborough. After trying the food here, all I can say is that I was really impressed with how good the food is and the fact that they don't skimp on ingredients/sauces unlike other places. They have lunch specials with a choice of pop or bottled water and we tried both of them. First thing we tried is their Chicken Hakka Noodles. I love this noodles - flavourful and juicy chicken, crunchy vegetables, just the right spiciness and umami sauce drench noodles, what's not to love about this dish? The second lunch special is the Chef's Special Fried Rice with a choice of either Sweet & Sour Chicken or Chilli Chicken. Opted for the latter and it tasted like your favourite Chinese fried rice but more spicier and savoury. Combined with the soft and succulent pieces of the Chilli Chicken, this dish is so good, full of flavours and deliciousness! The food are made to order so it's always fresh and you have to wait longer. But the result is worth waiting for. Adding this place on my rotation of best cheap places to eat in Toronto.

I recently organized a small party at home for 20 people and chose Khao Hakka for catering. Arbaz and Nirmal cooked for the event, and they did an absolutely fantastic job! They prepared the most delicious dishes, and every guest couldn t stop complimenting the flavors and quality of the food. Even though I only picked up the food from the restaurant, the attention to detail and the care they put into every dish were evident. Arbaz and Nirmal were incredibly friendly, professional, and efficient, making the experience even better. Thanks to them, the food was a highlight of the evening, and my party was a success. I ll definitely be returning to Khao Hakka for future events or even just for takeout. Highly recommended!

We waited 25 mins inside the store for a walk in order with an excuse of them having so many other orders. There was no proper ventilation in the store and it was hard to breathe inside, waiting for 25 mins for a dish. Big disappointment.

In short, this place lit! Super delicious As an East Asian, I have had so many stir fried noodles when I grew up, this reminds me of that. Noodles also contains wok taste which requires some technic while stir frying, the spicy is also satisfying! Way better than most Asian fast food restaurant! This restaurant is one of the few Asian fast food restaurants that I would praise Very spicy, fried very well, and the control of the pot gas is also great If you miss the fast food in your hometown, this is the right place!

I ve walked by so many times. Finally got what might be the best Hakka food downtown, and my only regret is that I didn t come in sooner. They use good quality, fresh ingredients, made to order, and it s reasonably priced. I had the Hakka noodles with chicken and am now addicted. You can choose how spicy you want it. I got Hakka mild which was not spicy at all. Next time I ll kick it up a notch!

The food is great - and in comparison to the amount that you get its not even expensive, however, Id strongly suggest to NOT done in. The smoke from the kitchen was spread throughout the dine in area and it really messed up my lungs. Also, we saw a small cockroach crawling across the floor.

Amazing flavor with generous portions, I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place. I ordered their lunch special, chilli chicken with steamed rice and I loved it. If you are in a rush and dont have time to wait for the food to be cooked freshly in front of you, then order 20 min before arriving.

I came here to order sweet and sour chicken on hong kong noodles (similar to what is on the lunch menu, but after it ended) and was told there was no way I could get sweet and sour sauce on the chicken without buying a separate appetizer for the chicken. In what world is sauce gatekeep behind an entire menu item costing almost $15 after tax? Absolutely ridiculous. I just wanted sauce added to my meal. I will never be coming back here again. There needs to be more menu flexibility and the staff needs to be trained on how to accommodate simple orders such as mine (a simple sauce upcharge would have been acceptable).

Pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food is here at Khao Hakka (love the name, btw). I ordered a Chilli fish with gravy and some white rice for lunch today. It was a nice large portion of fish, fried just long enough but not too long, in authentic tasting gravy. Well balanced flavour, not too strong, not too spicy, not too salty, but not bland either. Its easy to overdo the spices with hakka cooking, but these folks got it right. Nice that the fish was freshly fried, too. Looking forward to having some again. Theres room for 8-10 people in comfortable seating, then theres a tall, long community style table and a counter by the window, with metal stools. So I guess its mostly a take-out place, but Id bring a couple of friends for sure.

Got the lunch special with Hakka Noodles and chicken, all for only $11 (not including tax)! Portion size was huge and super delicious, and I could taste the freshness (it was made right in front of us).

I cant wait to come back and try other dishes. :)

February 22, 2024

Ordered a combo with chilli chicken and noodles (replacing egg fried rice). However, the food did not sit well with me at all. The chicken did not seem fresh, was chewy and hard, while noodles had no taste. The noodles was only fried with onions, and there was an extra 3 dollar charge for asking to put egg on the noodles. Felt sick after having the food.

I would give them more than 5 . Good job owner or owners for amazing food, service and ambience.

My favorite place to order from. Portions are good,food is better,taste is the best. Authentic Indian hakka Indo Chinese fusion. Probably order atleast 15 times a month from here. Favorite: Calcutta, Singapore ,Hong Kong style noodles, any chicken fry related stuff, paneer you name it. These guys truly make exceptional food that will beat most top restaurants of pretty much any cuisine in just their take out selections. Cant praise them enough. Do yourself a favor and start ordering one item everyday and by the time you get to the end youll know the indo Chinese fusion hakka ,and Indian food in general. Vegetarian options: Indian food!!!

The food is actually really good, like a 4 or 5 considering the price. But the restaurant itself is really strange. The decor is an afterthought and the dining area, although only intended to be for a short stay, is kind of awkward. My biggest gripe is the kitchen though. Its kitchen counter style so you can see the kitchen and, if Im being honest, the kitchen looks like a mess. There is always a bucket of chicken left out on a chair beside the grill and its not under heat lamps or anything. I think food safety would probably give these guys a citation if they walked in on an average evening. But I dunno, it is damn delicious so the recipes are good they just need to organize the kitchen and clean things up a bit.

December 22, 2023

I made quite good Indian food by myself. Happened to be in Toronto for some work, and thought of giving it a try. Item - Egg Fried rice and Chilli garlic chicken Price - 22$. Quality of Ingredients is bad to begin with. When you start to cook with low quality ingredients, you get low quality food. 22$ felt pricey for one person. Taste is bad due to Ingredients quality. Quantity is less for the price. Cooking and recipe are simple, no skills required. I would avoid it unless you have no options. How to improve: Find better source for groceries. Quantity is fine as long as food is tasty. Increase price by a little if thats what it takes.

Nice mom and pop. Im a tourist so not too familiar with Hakka food. I ordered the lunch special which was a pretty good value. For $11 you get an entree and a drink. The Hakka noodles were great but the Hong Kong noodles were a bit gingery for my taste. The spicy level of the Hong Kong noodles was good. Enough to make my nose runny but not unbearable. Vegetarian options: Everything can get tofu or paneer for an extra charge. Kid-friendliness: They provide extra plates upon request.

If the owner sees this, it ll be helpful for the business. There were just two people working and scampering to get the orders out - the number of takeaway orders for such a small joint is insane! We had to wait 30 mins for an order and I felt very bad seeing them struggle. It was close to closing hours. Portion size was varying, but the food was average.

Really mediocre Hakka. We didnt expect to be blown away but we werent expecting such mediocre food either. The chilli chicken was ok. The vegetarian rice that you order with it was really bad.

We ordered schezwan noodles and rice, explicitly requesting extra spice, but the dishes lacked any flavor or heat whatsoever it was like a flavor desert!

Also, every employee is so friendly. Id recommend ordering ahead for pickup, its the best way to go. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Go Khao Hakka!!

Me and my friends found this place while heading to McDonald s as we were starving. I am so happy that we discovered this place and were able to try their food. The food looked mouthwatering and tasted delicious. I couldn t get any pictures because we were too busy eating, but i will highly recommend this place especially their hot garlic chicken and manchurian fried rice.

A lot of good things to write about this place. It has one of the best hakka noodles with my personal favourite touch - no sweet sauces to mess with the taste of the dish. We tried several items on their menu and loved every single one of them. The place is nice, clean and comfortable to dine in (a bit small though), and the chef and staff are very friendly. Will absolutely revisit the next time I take friends or family for a visit to the lake.

I accidentally stumbled upon this place while walking on the street with my girlfriend and as always the name of the restaurant Khao Hakka Refresh started feeding our curiosity. I am going to be super honest and say that the hakka noodles and Manchurian cauliflower we ordered was mouth watering. If you re looking for some really good Hakka food, this is the place. Lastly, shoutout to the staff as well who were really polite and kind !!

The food is freshly made but the taste is not - got the garlic chilli chicken (tasted like Buffalo hot sauce), the hakka noodles (had no flavour) and the hot garlic wings (nothing special), the interior not clean at all but service is fast. Will not be going back.

Pretty good. Small space with only one washroom, and you have to order at the counter but the service and the food is great with generous portions for the price. You can get a filling meal for $10-15. I had the hakka noodles with shrimp. Disappointed with the quantity of veggies but it was still great. Noodles and shrimp were stir fried well and the sauce was delicious with the right amount of spice. After a bit of extra shrimp and chicken wings we ordered I was stuffed. Workers were friendly and offered to take a picture for us as we were trying to. Way better than I expected it to be.

Decent hakka at decent prices. Fried rice had great wok hei flavour. While the sweet and sour chicken was good, its puzzling that its labeled dry as its definitely not. The biggest disappoint was the dry chili fish, which was actually wet and extremely soggy.

No need to go to Scarbs to have the best Hakka Chili Chicken any more. Nothing special about egg fried rice but it was still a good base for killer gravy. Spicy level was just right ( even tho I could go a bit more spicy ) Highly recommend this place and gravy is THE MUST!!! Dined in. You order from the counter and pay, they bring the food to the table. Plates & cutleries are all plastic/disposable. Meal for two people was actually for three people. Leftover is always delightful!

i ordered chicken chilli 2 portions which was is no where close to chicken chilli...and one portion of paneer chili in which paneer was stale....and no taste.....quality of the food has been decreased very badly.....i wouldnt suggest anyone to order from here...waste of money...seriously....

It was literally a 30sec find while browsing options at 10.30pm in downtown and was 2 mins away drive. The rating just made us pick it that quickly to meet our spicy craving on a chilly night. As quick the service was, the foods we ordered were perfectly upto the expectations and made up to our flavorful tastebud. They smelled great as soon as they were served and looking at them I knew were gonna love it! Perfect burst of flavors and spice. Very surprising and rare find in downtown for hakka lovers like us.. cant wait to go back again! Only wish the overall environment was more upto the downtown level but nevertheless, food and staffs make up for it.

We ordered vegetarian dishes on 27th Nov. Ordered paneer chilly but the dish had Tofu instead and it was soggy when it was delivered. The Veg ball manchurian tasted good overall but was too salty and we had to discard half of it. Burnt garlic noodles and chilly garlic noodles did not me expectations. It was damp experience Cost & presentation- 0.5 * Taste - 1.5 * Value for money - 1 *

Take out via Ritual. Nicely sized order of sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice on the side was very tasty, and not a bad value. It was prepared quickly and well packaged for takeout. Will order again.

December 22, 2022

I never leave bad reviews but this experience was something I have to state. I ordered several dishes from them and I called TWICE once I noticed I had an item missing but no one picked up. I called again the next day and they asked me questions regarding my order. Rightfully so, I answer all of them and they told me to come pick up the missing item. I give them a courtesy call to say Im 5 minutes away and they start to tell me that I need a receipt of my order. Its not my fault you didnt pick up twice nor is it my fault one of your guys said he will replace it only to have me walk 10 minutes in the cold and to tell me that they couldnt do anything and to come into the store and talk. Keep your food, cause you lost a customer.
