It's not your typical Chinese food place or even a typical Hakka Chinese style place. The chicken is amazing, crispy skin and delicious goodness. The bbq pork is a startling shade of red but it's slightly sweet and thinly sliced and a perfect accompaniment to the noodles. Try it if you are in the hood.

My order of the Jerk chicken meal came with plain white rice instead of what I have come to expect out of a Caribbean place, which is long gran, Carribean rice with peas. The jerk chicken was also among the worst I've had. The meat was not tender, and it tasted too salty. I could not make out too much of the spice and seasonings. It felt more of the soy sauce was used than needed, so it ended up overwhelming all the other flavor ingredients.

Between the two of us, we ordered much more than we could eat, just to try the food. We had Beef with Broccoli, Singapore Noodles, Roast Duck, and Ginger Green Onion Chicken. Both the beef and chicken dishes were really good. The noodle dish could have used a touch more curry for our liking but it still tasted good. The duck was obviously reheated. The flavour was decent but the texture was a little off. Overall, the food at this place was pretty good. So were the prices and service. We'll be back!

I visited Hakka No 1 and was delighted by their affordable and delicious dishes. The restaurant…read morelooked 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.

This place was quite interesting I must say. The name is Caribbean Desire, however the menu says…read moreCaribbean Desire - Chinese Restaurant. Their food was exactly that a mixture of Caribbean and Chinese food. I ordered the Curry Potato with Rice, Peas and some spring rolls. The Spring Rolls were the worse spring rolls I have ever encountered. There was seriously no filling and just a roll of crust. Desire redeemed themselves with the Curry Potato Rice and Peas though. A Huge amount of this curried potato mixed with spices and onions spread across peas and rice. It was definitely great. So yea... if you're in the burbs of T-dot and want an Asian-Caribbean meal check them out.

The first time I went here I was with a friend from Trinibago. He told me that the interior…read morereminded him of home, and that the food was similar to home as well. So I'd have to say it's pretty authentic. I ordered the pineapple chicken, and he got the chicken roti. We were both extremely satisfied with the price, serving sizes, and service. When we were in the area, we decided to go a second time, and it was hardly as good as the first time. The server had no idea what pineapple chicken I was referring to, despite it being on the menu, and the roti wasn't cooked as well as the first time. Service was incredibly slow, and after taking the meal home (we ordered take-away) I realized I received some strange concoction of chicken and pineapple. Not at all similar to what I had received the first time. I barely had three bites before I was throwing out the rest. The roti received a similar end as well. Since that disastrous outing we haven't been back... but I also wouldn't avoid this place. Great ambiance, and huge portions. Just a warning though that this place is hit or miss.

The food, drinks, and conversation were wonderful and much needed! There's lots of seating. Many come here for special events, such as birthdays. There was a family at the back o the restaurant having a bash. There's also a side room that offers more privacy for such occasionings. The bar was pretty. The bartender was nice and funny. We felt like drinks and got the following: - Rum punch - Hibiscus paloma The rum punch had a generous amount of rum, with cubed fruit that felt like a bonus while enjoying this beverage. The pineapple wedge was awesome as a fruit lover. The hibiscus paloma was excellent. It's new on the menu and so refreshing on a hot summer day. Frankly, it went down too easily! The food was stellar! We ordered a bunch of dishes and shared them family-style. We consumed these dishes: - Chilli chicken poutine - Pepper shrimp - Chicken wings - Extra special fried rice - Sweet and sour chicken - Volcano chicken This eatery specializes in Caribbean Chinese food eats. It is also famous for its barbeque chicken. This place does chicken right. Everything was delicious. If I were to select a couple of favourites, they would be the chilli chicken poutine and pepper shrimp. This place does fusions and spicy heat extremely well. The chilli chicken poutine was awesome. It combined my love for chilli chicken that is tender, flavourful, with some heat, with crispy fries and cheese curds. So good! The pepper shrimp were amazing. The shrimp were fresh. I loved the light batter that was crispy and crunchy. I love chicken wings. They were meaty and crispy. I tried a couple of sauces. The dragon sauce had a good amount of spice. I don't know what the other sauce was, but it didn't have a kick. It was mild and yummy. The extra special fried rice was awesome. I loved the fried rice. It had the right balance of veggies, chicken and rice. There was a lot of it! It was then topped with more chicken. The skin was crispy and yummy. The chicken was plump and moist. I took some home because we had a lot of leftover food and this dish was so comforting. The sweet and sour chicken had the right tangy-sweet mix. It wasn't overly sweet. I loved the veggies .This place does chicken so well. The morsels of chicken were yummy all coated in the sauce. The volcano chicken was excellent. It's crispy, tender chicken coated in a spicy sauce that packed a lot of good flavour. I got to witness one of the chefs out on the grill, barbequing chicken. I brought home a barbeque chicken meal over fried rice, that came with mac and cheese, and potato salad. This meal was divine. The chicken was flavourful and tender. The meat effortlessly fell off the bone. The fried rice was perfect. I loved the potato salad that had peas in it. The mac and cheese cube had good flavour and al dente macaroni. The portions are massive. Leaving hungry can't be done! I had a fabulous time. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks with good company. (316)
