This restaurant is a hidden gem!!!!! I used to go to their first location in Scarborough, but found out that their Pickering location is closer to me. It's also bigger and cleaner than the Scarb location. Best tasting Hakka food, reasonable price and good portions!!!!! read more

Great food, great prices, lousy service. If you are looking to have a quick bite to eat and are in a budget I do recommend it.

My favourite Hakka joint. Food is consistently great. Spicy, fresh and reasonably priced. Highly recommend the chilli chicken (dry), shrimp pakora, and spicy green beans. read more

The food is good and the prices are great. Some of the dishes could use more spice.

I love the food here. It's cheap and fresh! I go here once or twice a week and they never disappoint. Lunch special is like $6 and they give you plenty of food. Chili chicken is really good. The soups are not that good. Spicy dragon fish is amazing! Highly recommend if you like spicy food. read more

We've been here numerous times, mostly when it was fairly new. We find the food tasty and the servings generous. Definitely great value for your money. When we dined here recently, we were thinking that the food/servings may have changed already. However, we were pleased that it hasn't. Food still great. We ordered Chicken Pakora, Chili Chicken with gravy, Cantonese Chow Mein and Manchurian chicken n shrimp fried rice. There were 3 of us, all big eaters, but we have enough leftovers to last us another meal. However, service kinda slowed down. Also, when it was time to pay, we were told that their machine was not working and they can only take cash. They should at least let us know beforehand. No sign on the door or anywhere. That' s just not cool. But we would still come back, for sure. read more

See all

The spicy dragon chicken is amazing! But it doesn't compare to the Scarborough location! The older lady at the cash is rude and needs a lesson in customer service! read more

I used to order frequently from the location at Kennedy and Lawrence for years. It was always delicious. I tried the Pickering location (after being recently disappointed by the Kennedy & Lawrence location) and I was yet again very disappointed. Not sure if they changed their chef but the quality and flavour were just not there anymore. I ordered the chilli shrimp, chilli chicken and sweet and sour chicken. After eating we ended up tossing the left overs. It wasn't worth reheating. I'm sad that this restaurant is not the great Hakka food it used to be. read more

Blech! three of us bought the general tao, chicken wings, mixed vegetable cantonese chow mein and it was all so bad; so disappointingly gross. The general tao chicken was still moving on my plate. One chunk grabbed my wrist and was like... "kill meee pleaaaase." so I slammed it into a to-go container so my cat could eat it later. It didn't feel like I was chewing on chicken at all; honestly. The food looked very attractive but it was soo disturbing. I gagged 4-6 times in front of my own grandmother. I felt like I was on Fear Factor doing the 2nd challenge! The worst part is that becuz there are so few Chinese food places in Pickering, people are tricked into thinking that spicy dragon is the best. It breaks my heart. The people next to us were like, "this food looks amazing but there must be something wrong with MY taste buds cuz I taste chipmunk." I wanted to flip the table and say, NO! you're damn taste buds are fine!! read more

This place can be very inconsistent. Quality of food can be anywhere from 2-5stars. They have a really good lunch special that come with a drink for $6-$7. I find that the quality of chicken is different in the lunch special compared to when you order the same dish outside of lunch. They don't clean the meat as thoroughly during lunch I think because of the volume, a lot of fatty pieces in the chilli chicken. I've tried most of their menu and found consistency in only a few items. Chilli chicken, any rice dish. Everything else is a coin flip. Don't dine in, service is trash. All the workers seem unhappy. read more

This is the second location of Spicy Dragon (Original in Scarborough). If you like Hakka Food (everything spicy and flavorful). Owners are very nice and food is excellent. The best Chili Chicken in Toronto GTA. They also do catering platters but best to go in person to order. The best part is this place will not break your bank! read more

I ordered the Pakora chicken and mix rice noodle. The portion was more than generous (like huge size ...), and the food was amazingly good. Excellent food quality and taste, would recommend this restaurant to all mine friends. read more

The food is AMAZING. Just make sure you get it to-go because the service is absolutely horrible. I needed a drink and I made eye contact with my server for an awkward minute or two before he called another girl over to ask her why this customer was looking at him. She looked at him and shrugged. I never got my drink. read more

Very bad. Food is all bland. The chicken was pink inside and made me and my boyfriend both sick. I think this place has single handedly turned me off of Chinese takeout for life. read more

Worst Hakka Indian cuisine ever and I have eaten at lot of such restaurants. Each dish was worse the previous and service was even lousier... took 50 minutes for our food to come and that after many reminders. No water until you ask for it and our final dish came when we were done with our dinner. Would give it 0 stars if I could. read more

This restaurant is disappointing to say the least!! The food is mediocre at best, except for one dish that my b/f and I love, the crispy beef. But when you order it and then aren't given it, it's apparently your own fault and not theirs! We ordered this, some Hakka noodles and chili chicken for take out, which you must pick up because they do not deliver. I get it home, and there is no crispy beef. After calling the store to have it rectified, I was basically told that it was MY FAULT and if I wanted my right order, I'd have to drive all the way back to get it, with no kind of compensation except a "big smile". So not only do I now have to spend twice my fuel and time to get my food, I get NOTHING in return but a cold meal because everything else will be ruined by the time I get back to it. The lady literally hung up the phone in my ear when I got upset so I was left with no choice but to contact Visa and create a dispute transaction file to get my money back. I do not recommend going here whatsoever. read more

What a sham!! I made an order and went to pick it up. I got home and found out it was the wrong order!! I asked them to correct it and they said they would. When I asked for a discount, because of their mistake. They accused me of taking advantage of them and said they would give me a smile instead. I'm furious!! I've ordered from them many times. Just horrible customer service!! They will get no more business from me!! read more

Food is great, but the customer service is unreal. Not friendly at all. When you ask the servers a question its like they're doing you a favour by answering your question. I just order the same thing every time because I'm scared to ask for suggestions lol. I always tip above 15% when I go out, but here I tip almost nothing. I feel bad but the service is really horrible. read more

The food is good :) I'm super happy it is halal and am always satisfied. We always get takeout and are never disappointed. Definitely my go to place for Chinese food. The only reason I'm giving it a four is because I've never actually sat in so I can't say it's perfect when I haven't experienced it all. read more

I came here with a friend for lunch during a work day and ordered the Pineapple Chicken dish. There isn't a description of what the dish is, or a picture - so I just assumed it was a traditional pineapple chicken. When the dish came, it was smothered in red sauce and I could tell the chicken along with veggies were frozen, pre-cooked, and then heated in a wok. Then, they just poured sauce over top. I would have been fine with this if it tasted good, but it had no flavor. I tried one small bite with a piece of chicken, and it tasted like water with sauce thrown on top. When the server came back, I politely asked if I could switch my order to what my coworker had ordered. I would have been fine to pay for both as well. However, the server said to me "you touched it" - so I responded with "I did and it doesn't have much flavor, could I please just order one of those? (pointing to my coworkers dish that I had tried and liked)". The server repeated herself "you touched it" and walked away. 15 minutes later, she returned with the bill with both the pineapple chicken and my coworkers meal as a charge. When I walked up to the front to ask this server why I was being charged, why I didn't have a second order, and why didn't she come back to rectify the situation.... she looked down, shook her head at me and walked away. There was another server at the counter who said to me "It isn't bad. A lot of people order it." I was able to have the charge removed (I literally had ONE tiny flavorless piece of premade frozen reheated chicken) - after arguing with the second server about why I shouldn't have to pay and how at this point I don't have a lunch. I was under the impression that the second order was being made the entire time. Then was presented with a bill, then argumentative staff. WILL NEVER GO BACK AND WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD THIS WORD. TERRIBLE SERVICE. TERRIBLE FOOD. I walked over to KFC and picked up take out. MUCH BETTER. I don't even like KFC that much. read more

While you do have to wait for the food (its a little slow), it is well worth the wait. For take out, call ahead and then go pick-up. Food was really good; large portion sizes. The spicy food is actually spicy, which is more than you can say for a lot of 'hot' food in Durham Region. The chili chicken is really good! read more

Great food, always tastes good the next day too if you can't finish it all on the first meal. Prices are reasonable, and they allow you to call ahead and pre-order to help with the wait times for pickups. I like that it mostly fresh prepared when you order, not sitting in a tray waiting for someone to order it. I eat here frequently and have never had a bad meal. read more

Spicy Dragon is of impeccable value! One time I had some lunch there with my father and it was delicious! I reccomend it to anyone living nearby to eat out there or buy for dinner. Trust me on this one you won't be let down! ;-) read more

went for take out... restaurant atmosphere is clean & very nice. Customer service is excellent. The flair of the food is favoured. Ordered hot & sour soup - wouldn't order it again...beef house special was good came with steamed rice....won ton soup was good but the broth lacked flavour ....chicken wings were okay... i would definately try this restaurant again for sitting in and perhaps order fresh vegetable dishes for a change. keep you posted read more

Food is OK as Hakka is hard to find in the Pickering area. Be ready to wait over an hour on the weekend no matter what you order. Even if it is one dish they will still make you wait. Service sucks as they keep telling you that your order will be right out. When you ask them to go check they say the cooks are telling them to go away. Do yourself a favour and drive the extra 15 minutes to Scarborough where Hakka is plentiful. read more

Great place to order Haka takout from. There is a 10% discount for cash pickup which is nice. I typically order the chicken and shrimp chow mein which is a hit with my family, and the boneless crispy chicken which is just great. Food can be a little greasy but that is to be expected. Where this place wins is on the value. The portions are absolutely enormous for the price and one takout order gives me food for two nights which is perfect. Its great to have a good Haka option in Pickering. read more

Been a loyal client since they opened over 2 years ago. I always order the Chilli Chicken lunch special and in till my last two orders it has been great. The restaurant must have changed their supplier because 70 percent of the meat is now tough, dry and/or way over cooked. You literally have to force it down. When I called to make a complaint they said no one has complained and wanted me to bring back the food then they would decide if I could get my money back or not. I was working and could not go back right away as it was during business hours. Lost my business and everyone I can tell. read more

We ordered take out, had Manchurian chicken & spicy dragon beef. Both were good & not too spicy for me. My friend thought though the Manchurian chicken was spicy. read more
