    szechuan beef with fried rice
    Nazanin S.

    I didn't have the friendliest customer service, but regardless their food is delicious! This Hakka restaurant in Ajax is perfect for a hot meal on a cold day. I tried the szechuan beef with fried rice for $15 which was the perfect level of spicy. All their meat is Halal, and my beef was well-cooked and juicy. As part of their lunch special, you can pick between a choice of free drink or spring roll. They have a decent amount of indoor seating, free wifi, and incredibly fast service -- I was dining in and my food came piping hot from the kitchen within 5 minutes. I appreciated that there was no music playing in the background of the restaurant and it was a low-key place to enjoy a delicious lunch.

    Mancharian chicken
    Ryan H.

    I went for the lunch special ($9 flat) and ordered the Mancharian chicken. It was very nicely portioned with chunks of chicken seasoned with the perfect amount of spice. This is a definite must-try item. Currently the place is take out-only with a max capacity of 2 people. I advise you call in your order before you get there or else it'll be a 20 minute wait. But it's still well worth the wait, if this photo doesn't convince you...

    Fried chicken wings!! (Minus 4 because we already ate haha)
    Joan T.

    Opening night and definitely a good impression :) there weren't many people so I'm not sure if they did much marketing, but it was kinda nicer cause we could take our time and enjoy ;) Staff here are superb! Very attentive & takes initiative. Absolutely lovely! I certainly hope that when this place starts filling up and getting busy, they will keep that up. It's always nice to come to a sit down restaurant where the staff are so pleasant. We started off with deep fried chicken wings. The wings meat was juicy and cooked really well. Then we got shrimp in lobster sauce. I found it a bit on the salty side but honestly, I don't much care for shrimp anyway. My boyfriend ordered a yellow curry chicken. It was really spicy but the flavor was great! The waitress let us know that you can request for less to no spicy haha. After all, they want to make sure it's edible for everyone. I ordered the beef pad Thai. It was a bit sweeter than I'm use to but it has just enough tart flavoring to make it really appetizing. Plus chewy texture noodles. That's a win! Give it a try!! They just opened up at the Harwood plaza. Plenty of parking! Yum!!

    Manchurian noodles, sweet and sour soup. Chilli chicken, crispy beef and crispy shrimp
    Alicia P.

    The crispy shrimp is so yummy! It's like a chicken ball but with a gigantic shrimp inside instead. They give plentiful sauces which I love and the chilli chicken has a lot of gravy. Great flavour in the crispy beef as well

    In the area for one night had a craving for Chinese food. It was excellent. Everything was just how I wanted it. It was pick up only.

    Really good service. The chilli chicken was sooo bomb and the noodles were incredible as well. I wanted a soup cause I was sick so I asked the waitress and she helped me pick one that would be good for my throat and it turned out to be amazing. The inside is super clean and modern and I realized it's cause they just recently opened so i guess they're trying to impress. Super underrated place and I would definitely go again. One of the best chilli chickens I've tried. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is cause it was a little bit cold inside! Oh and they have free wifi which is almost unheard of at hakka places. LOL.

    See all

    We once again ordered food from C&T Wok Express…read more It is probably one of the best in Durham region They get fairly busy on weekends so I would call ahead earlier in the day if you are looking for food around dinner time Service is always friendly there Food is excellent as always We enjoyed the pork wonton soup, orange chicken, garlic broccoli, mixed vegetable fried rice and beef udon on this occasion We got free wontons for our order over $50 which is a nice touch that they have You can also get sweet and sour pork as the other option Highly recommended for Chinese food in Durham and especially in the Ajax area

    I've heard for years about this being one of the most recommended places to order take out from in…read morethe area so we gave it a try finally! We do have an allergy and requested no celery, there was in fact celery in the dishes we discussed accommodating the allergy with, we also asked for vegetarian Singapore noodles, and there was meat. Albeit a lot of meat for what it's worth, but when you're a vegetarian that ain't really a selling point. Picking it all out was a nightmare. We found the portions and price very generous, we were even given a free serving of meat for the size of the order, everything was fresh but most of the dishes we got were in a crazy amount of sauce where you wouldn't really expect any sauce or a very little like the Thai basil stir fried veggies and tofu, it was drenched in a big puddle of sauce.

Ordered sweet and sour chicken balls, pan fried dumplings, and vegetable lo mein, total was about $31. Chicken balls were great, vegetable lo mein needed more vegetables but was okay otherwise, and pan fried dumplings were good.

    Living in durham region, the lack of quality chinese restaurant is apparent…read more Like fellow yelpers or google reviewers, I was checking to see what good options are available for take-out and I stumbled upon this place... For starter, this area during late April was attracting a LOT of mosquitoes for some reason...Even around the store, it was filled with mosquitoes...It was even camping in my car as well...If i had a pet frog, at least, he/she will be a happy camper! :P I have to say prices here is quite reasonable with decent portion sizes as well. Here is what we ordered for take-out... #75 Stir Fried Green Bean ($7.95)- Decent veggie dish mixed with some sauce I wasn't really able to identify well. #9 Sweet & Chilli Wings-12pcs ($9.99)- Wings with sweet chilli sauce mix...Although it did make the wings/drums a bit soggy because of it, but the sauce has a lil heat and was decent taste. I'd say ask for sauce on the side next time so you still get some crunch on the wings. #119 Spicy Ginger Beef ($10.45)- Its lightly breaded piece of 'beef or chicken' with green peppers, onion, and carrots with special ginger sauce they call it...Unfortunately, the dish I got was not beef but chicken instead... You can tell by colour/texture. I ask the staff about this while checking my food before going but for some reason the young staff member wasn't too sure, so I didn't want to bother them and just took it anyways...Taste wise, this had decent flavour and I wouldn't mind getting again in the future... Overall, the price tag here is quite good when comparing elsewhere...The portion is decent and flavour is there...Only downfall from what I heard is the time it takes to prepare can be quite long...Lucky for me, our dishes only took about 20 mins to prepare...So pick a non-busy time to order by phone or in-person... Cash is KING here...Pay cash and get 10% off... *Discount not valid with combos and dinner sets* :)

I had their Rou-Si Pork noodle soup, one of my favourites. It was delicious, with rich flavour. It hit the right spots and satisfied my craving.

Besides the great tasting food and friendly service, diners received a gift from the restaurant to commemorate their anniversary. Thank you and congratulations to Jin's Mi-Fen! I wish you continued success!

They have their own private lot, but they share it with a coin laundry and it looks a little rundown. As you enter the restaurant, there were already a few diners eating, but mostly it was pretty empty. Service was pretty efficient. You didn't really need to interact with any of the servers as they have QR code menus at every table and you would just order through your phone, even as far as submitting through your phone and it would go straight to the kitchen. Their menu is pretty limited. They're known for their rice noodles, but for a lot of the soup noodle dishes you had the choice between a wheat noodle, a flat noodle, which they told us was sold out, and then their original rice noodle. The food came pretty fast. We also ordered their take on popcorn chicken, but they called them chicken bites. They were more so like western chicken nuggets, but smaller and didn't have that like Taiwanese popcorn chicken taste, which they never technically advertised but at most Asian places when they sell Chicken bites/popcorn chicken I just automatically referred to those familiar flavour profiles. The chicken bites came with a mayo based dipping sauce. It came out hot and fresh. They were kind of just OK and then our noodle soup dishes came out. I ordered the original and my partner ordered a spicy version. I did decide to choose less salt, which was an option that I do appreciate, however the braised beef in my noodle dish was really tough and the brisket in my partner's noodle dish was extremely dry so we left kind of unsatisfied with the meal. I also just feel like if you're not a fan of that mala spice then you might not like any of the dishes here because all their soup bases has that northern China peppercorn soup base. I don't think I'll be coming back even though they've given me a customer stamp card. I prefer my braised beef soup noodles with bouncy hand pulled noodles and the braised beef tender.

Been ordering for the last 1.5- 2 years, food is still consistent. I'm originally from the states, and there's certain Americanized Chinese food staples there - crab Rangoon is one of them and served at every Thai and Chinese restaurant. Thai crab Rangoon tastes much different than the Chinese version but they still have it I found this restaurant originally due to them serving crab Rangoon's - essentially cream cheese, very small portion of imitation crab, green onions deep fried in wonton. Not many Chinese places have it here, except Panda Express and 2-3 random locations all over GTA. This is one of the better crab Rangoon's served in GTA. I still find several of their dishes are delicious, besides the Rangoon's. Not sure why the reviews are off, but if you're craving Chinese that's fried and a bit greasy, without going downtown, this is it. And the staff is very receptive to changing and asking for certain things - I.e, less sauce, more sauce, etc. I'd recommend - wonton soup - it's fresh, has the proper amount of veggies, generous dumplings and if you try the 'house wonton' it comes with actual shrimp and chicken with the veggies and wontons. It is salty, but that's standard Americanized wonton soup! Crab Rangoon's - one of the few places around that has. These are absolutely great. They're a little of the sweet side of a typical crab Rangoon, Try them! Dumpling - they do them right here. They're large and filled with meat/veggie filling. I prefer mine steamed but I've had the pan fried. Both are delicious and the homemade sauce they give is so tasty. Sweet and sour chicken - deep fried chicken fingers that you can dip in the standard sweet and sour sauce or with plum sauce. I find most of the time they get these moist. I've had a few one offs from them where they're dry/overcooked, but 95% they deliver moist. General tsos/sesame chicken/orange chicken/orange beef- I think all of these are great, however these are drowned in sauce - I've asked for less sauce in past or sauce on the side and they've done this to a 'T'. Boneless sparerib - good, but a bit saucy. Again they're willing to do what you want so you can ask for less sauce.
