Food: 4.5/5 First off, everything was so well priced, especially considering the generous portions. I've ordered here multiple times and the food never misses! My personal favourite is the dry Bombay chicken. The savoury and spicy tones in contrast to the fresh and tarte mango salad creates such a balanced immersion of flavours! The mango salad is an absolute must order! Truly compliments nearly all the menu items. The chicken momo are also fantastic, quite large and comes with 8 pieces. Fish Pakoora is also a great choice, with the same savoury notes but with a less heavy taste in comparison to the richer Bombay chicken and Bombay beef. Overall amazing taste with large portions at such an affordable price! We all had leftovers to take home! Whenever I order takeout here, one Bombay chicken can last me nearly 3 meals. Service: 5/5 Amazing staff and service! Food came out quick and it was never hard to ask for water or order more items! Atmosphere: 3/5 nothing special about the interior or atmosphere but the patio is nice for the summer. Definitely one of the only worth visiting food spots in Lawrence Park. read more

Wow! Wonderful food, great prices, excellent service. We all loved it - even the kids. We will definitely be back!

The shrimp pakora ($13) is a great way to start the meal. Its batter is applied with enough to cover the large prawns without being overly thick. Although how long the pakoras are fried needs to be standardized - one night it was absolutely perfect creating crispy parcels of prawns, while on a follow-up visit it's golden but the centre slightly underdone so each bite finishes mushy. While it isn't overly flavourful, the spicy Thai basil chutney that comes with it is absolutely delicious. This same chutney goes really well with the Hakka style rice noodles ($12), which is very plain by itself, but is a good choice to pair with other saucier dishes in lieu of rice. They're essentially like Singapore noodles without the curry. Urban Hakka's Singapore noodles ($12) gets the Hakka touch with a healthy dose of curry powder, probably 2 to 2.5 times the normal amount you'll find at Chinese restaurants. It's not terrible, but creates a rather strong dish where you'll only need a small portion. Luckily, they provide a big bowl of rice with the rest of the dishes and even offers refills if it gets empty. You'll need the rice to accompany the Manchurian chicken ($12), which packs a flavourful punch. With a choice between wet and dry, we stuck with the recommended dry and it was fantastic - still a moist dish with each morsel of chicken covered with a salty, spicy, aromatic rub that appears to be made with freshly pureed ginger, garlic, and a host of other spices. Hakka cuisine is essentially Chinese-style cooking outside of China. In Toronto, it tends to signify Chinese dishes with an Indian influence. At Urban Hakka, the dishes that lean towards the Indian side of the spectrum is a lot better, while the Chinese side falls flat. For example, the General Tao chicken ($12) essentially tastes like sweet and sour, which could be overlooked if it wasn't so saucy that the batter is rendered mushy and it tastes like you're eating gluey sweet chicken. The sesame crispy beef ($14) is better, but extremely salty and is too powdery so you taste the flour and corn starch. If you're going to get a "crispy" protein dish, stick with the crispy chicken ($14), which is cut into larger pieces and not as heavily coated. Nonetheless, eat quickly. When it arrives, scalding hot, the sauce is fantastic; once it starts to cool it begins to crystalize and tastes like candy coated chicken. I can't help but notice how their poorly laid out dining room affects the experience. The food delivery companies keep stomping through the dining room to the kitchen in the back, which is distracting when the restaurant is so silent. Urban Hakka wants to create a serene environment, the décor is posh and there's jazz music playing in the background. If they're going to create a tranquil space than they have to go all in and get rid of the distractions... mainly all the people walking by within inches of a diner's table. Simply ask the delivery people to wait by bar and have a staff member get the food from the kitchen (this could be a problem as the place is already understaffed) or ask the delivery people to go to the kitchen through an outside door (likely the more realistic choice). read more

Do a favor to yourself and don't visit this terrible restaurant serving garbage in name of Indo-Chinese! In fact I fell sick the next morning from the food. We ordered ch. lollipop, momo and chili fish and tbh the lollipop was the only food which tasted good that evening. The chili fish was super hot and tasted meh and the momo was awful. For entree we had chili chicken, manchurian fish, fried rice, chowmein and chopsuey. Most items were salty, tasted basic and the chopsuey turned out to be dessert - it was the sweetest sauce ever!! Coming to service - there was one server for the entire restaurant who refused to give us a larger table and then said didn't keep traditional ino-chinese sauces but later served it to another table. When we confronted her that why she denied us the sauces she said they are not indio-Chinese restaurant and that was that!! May be she was delusional and just talking gibberish. Service overall was crappy and then she charged 15% tips as she was afraid we won't tip her! Goodness!!! Overall bad food and bad experience left a bad taste in our mouth read more

Given the hype, I was hoping Urban Hakka would be amazing but I found it just ok overall. We got 2 dishes and, balancing out the outstanding with the not-so-good, I put this at 3 stars (though would have bumped it up to 3.5 if I could - bonus points for offering a good alternative in the area). We got: - Sesame crispy beef: Really amazing flavour, and the beef was properly crispy (though started to become rubbery as the meal progressed). I'd definitely order this again. - Singapore noodles with shrimp: The noodles were a bit dry, though the faint curry taste was nice. Also not as much shrimp as I would have liked. I'd pass on this dish. Service was attentive and personable, though a tad slow. The place itself was a bit "fancy", with white tablecloths and cloth napkins. And again, it's a different taste to other offerings in the area so hope this place lasts. read more

this is a hidden gem for Hakka lovers! Very close to the subway station.. and there is also street parking on Yonge. The restaurant itself looks very nice and divided into two sections.. so you got options where to sit and bar section in between. From the tables/spoons to customer service - everything was just perfect! We ordered quite a bit of food, manchurian chicken and chowmein (Hakka style) reminded me the authentic flavours of Hakka and definitely going back here again and again when the cravings are to happen for Hakka Chinese :) Also they have quite a lot of options in the alcohol section for a good price. Overall it was a good experience, best hakka place so far in many years where food is not oily or greasy! read more

Urban Hakka is one of our go-to delivery spots. My family is from India and they have high expectations for Hakka cuisine. We have ordered here many times and its always a hit. We have a pretty standard order every time - spring rolls, vegetarian hot and sour soup, chilli chicken (dry), Manchurian shrimp (wet) and fried rice (Hakka). Food always comes as described and very hot. I recommend all these items, with special praise to the soup (to die for!!) and Manchurian shrimp. When we first tried the Manchurian shrimp, the sauce was a little heavy for us. This was resolved by calling in and asking for semi gravy - now it's the perfect amount! My only gripe with the shrimp is the breading is a little heavy but it can be overlooked by the flavour. Highly recommend. read more

I will admit that the interior may not look the greatest but if you wanted quality Hakka food, this is a great option. We ordered the chilli chicken, fried rice, and a spicy cauliflower dish. First two are staples and must try, as they were both standouts to me (albeit I haven't eaten true Hakka food before). It's a naturally spicy cuisine so I would go for mild/medium if your spice tolerance is on the lower end. read more

We came here for a late lunch around 1PM on a Sunday as a party of five and were seated immediately. The first thing I noticed was how spacious the interior was, with both a front and a back dining area, along with an outdoor patio that wasn't being used at that time. There were a number of other patrons and the place seemed decently busy. We ordered the chicken pakoras, shrimp hakka style rice noodles, tandoori chicken fried rice, crispy beef, and chili chicken gravy. The chicken pakoras came out first, and were covered in a sweet sauce. I was only used to eating the dry version, but the sweet sauce pakoras came as a pleasant surprise. I also loved how savory all the entrees were. The crispy beef was our favourite dish. So sweet. So sesame-y. So savory. They also make their own chili oil garlic hot sauce inhouse. I would definitely recommend trying it. It was our first time trying Hakka cuisine, but we were very impressed despite the complaints. Hakka is a great thing to happen to Toronto! read more

The restaurant is on Yonge street and finding a parking spot is a bit difficult. It has a bright board and hard to miss. Thinking it was a Chinese place seeing the "Indo Chinese cuisine" threw me off. Seeing the menu was a surprise as it indeed have a mix of both Indian and Chinese cuisines. You would find both chowmein and rice. The restaurant is a long corridor and I find the inner most room might have some warmer tables as the front tables can get cold easily due to the doors proximity. The menu has lots of dishes so take your time to go through the menu. Our waiter was from Nepal and he was very friendly. We got some Singapore rice noodles and Chow mein. The dishes came in quick and hot. The Singapore rice noodles had a bit too much herbs in it but my friend really liked it. And I loved the chow mein - it was dry and the chicken and shrimp pieces were juicy and fresh. Over all had a great experience at the restaurant - defined recommending. Oh btw, Yelp also gives a 10% discount when you checkin. read more

I used to travel all the way to Mississauga to Eddies Wok N Roll to get amazin hakka food. Considering I work in Markham and live in North York- there is abundance of hakka choices. However nothing seemed to measure up to the bar that was set by Eddies until Urban Hakka. I have had the pleasure of both delivery and dine in and both experiences are recommended. Great indian craft beers and you can see the food couriers rushing in an out of this place as the demand is high. I love the tandoori chicken fried rice and the bombay beef wet. This is going to be a staple for me i am sure. read more

Urban Hakka has great value and many tasty dishes. During COVID times they managed to have a booming take out business, and we heartily did take out once a week, mostly we cool in. Their system was fast and efficient and the dishes like Crispy Beef and crispy Chicken always favourites, and Butter Chicken Chicken Lollipops are also enjoyed. Mostly Though the sizes of the dishes were generous and lower priced and tasty or better than anything else in this neighbourhood. We hope they continue to succeed in this location. read more

Our first time at urban hakka and it definitely will not be the last! Great food, great service. We got the chicken pakoras (garlic spicy), the chicken/beef/shrimp chowmein, and the sweet and sour chicken manchurian style. The pakoras were amazing. We almost ate the whole thing before the min courses came (8 decently sized pakoras!) and the main dish portions were the perfect size for 2 to share. Thanks very much for a great first experience! Lovely, polite and kind staff always makes an experience 10/10! read more

Oh Urban Hakka... such a mixed review. Probably somewhere between a 3 and a 4. On one occasion I dined in the restaurant and had the Tandoori Chicken Chow Mein. That meal was probably one of the best in my life - such an amazing blend of Indian and Chinese dishes. It was my first time trying Hakka and I was a true convert. Desperate for more, I ordered take out from Urban Hakka just days later. I ordered the Cashew Chicken and was super excited because I love love love nutty chicken dishes, but it turned out to be a real disappointment, as was my partner's dish. The sauce was just blegh and I couldn't even eat it. The Tandoori Chicken Chow Mein would keep me coming back regardless, but I'd be wary of trying new dishes here. read more

We ordered this for delivery to the Yonge/Eglinton area and the food arrived faster than most UberEats or Foodora deliveries did with restaurants that were closer to us. A week before passing by Urban Hakka we were talking about how there aren't any Hakka options around Yonge/Eglinton. They sure have the advantage of charging a premium at this location, most of their dishes are $10+. We ordered: lollipop chicken, chilli chicken, manchurian beef, butter chicken, Singapore noodles, fried rice and stir fry bok choy. Everything tasted really good. The ones that stood out more were the chicken & beef dishes and the fried rice stood. I can't say it's the best Hakka food I've ever had but I would come back for my next Hakka craving in this area. read more

I've walked by Urban Hakka a couple of times and have definitely been curious, so when we were trying to decide on a restaurant from which to order food, it didn't take long for me to choose this place. We decided to order a couple of old standbys: Pad Thai Chicken, Shrimp & Beef: Though this is far from the worst pad thai I've ever had - it doesn't, at least, taste like it was made with ketchup - it's certainly nothing special or worth ordering again. The big problem here is that it's just so darn sweet; I'm not sure which ingredient caused this or if sugar was added separately, but it mostly tasted like a pad thai dessert. The proteins were plentiful and cooked well, and the pasta wasn't soggy, so it was definitely edible (at least). Chilli Beef: We chose the gravy option and this was one of the sauciest dishes I've eaten in a while. And, like the pad thai, it's fine but completely forgettable. The pervasive taste here was basil, oddly enough, and the one-note nature of the dish did ensure I got a little sick of it towards the end. It's kind of spicy, at least. Urban Hakka needs to step up their game, because if the quality of the rest of their food is similar to what we got, it's hard to envision the place lasting much longer within this crowded marketplace (i.e. put a *little* effort into your offerings, guys). read more

We walked by this place and realized we were craving Hakka so decided to stop in. Our waiter was​ super friendly and attentive. It wasn't busy on a Sunday evening so the atmosphere was very relaxed. The food was satisfying! I don't know if I'd say it was the best Hakka I've ever had, but I wasn't disappointed. We ordered the vegetable chow mein, chicken wontons, and chili chicken (with "gravy"). I loved the chili chicken--definitely my favorite​ of the three. I could definitely see myself stopping by again if I was in the neighborhood​! Would recommend if you're looking for a low-key restaurant​ with fair prices. read more

Everything was great - I want to make a special note on their Tom Yum soup ... It was the best I've ever had. In the soup, there were ingredients I've never seen, which I learned later it was 'galangal' and lime leaves. The soup was very aromatic (could be less salt), inspired me enough to search for a recipe for authentic Tom Yum. It was a work of art. Restaurant was spacey, standard Jazz as a background music. Clean and quiet. Seemed they had lots of takeout orders, but hope more people will done in, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. read more

Great Indo-Chinese food and I am so happy that it's in the city, easily accessible by TTC. A lot of Indian friends miss and crave Indian-style chow mein but have shared that it's tough to find in Toronto, and even Brampton. Urban Hakka is the first place that seems to satisfy even the biggest Indo-Chinese food connoisseurs. I personally like the fried rice and chow mein, both Hakka style. As well as the paneer with gravy and the chili cauliflower. Pro tip: get the kulfi (Indian ice cream) for dessert! The malai flavor is my favorite. read more

We got take out from here - chilli chicken, crispy beef, tandoori chicken chow mein, Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower) veg pakora and fried rice. The standouts were the chilli chicken (with gravy) and Gobi Manchurian (dry). Both these had decent heat and were very flavourful. Veg pakora and fried rice were pretty good. I was disappointed with the chow mein as it didn't have that "smoky" flavour usually you have with Hakka noodles. Lastly, the crispy beef was a little more on the tough side although the flavour was nice. Overall the good outweighs the not so good and I would definitely return here. It's not the best Hakka food I've had before but decent. I did find the prices and portions very reasonable - we got a ton of food ! read more

Solidly 3.5 stars, but I will give the benefit of the doubt, despite my price concerns, because I like having Hakka food available in the neighbourhood. Ordered lunch for the crew through "Skip", and everything was solid. We ordered the crispy beef, chili chicken, tandoori chicken chow mein, plus veggie and chicken pakora - hot garlic style. Everyone enjoyed the food. Pros: Crispy Beef and Chili Chicken we spicy and flavourful, good quality, and enjoyed by all. Cons: - Prices are quite high for Hakka, perhaps due to Yonge Street rent vs. Scarborough for many places. - Chow Mein was rather bland and not extra spicy, as ordered. - Pakora are very much on the dry side, and required a lots of sauce to rescue them, the hot-garlic sauce coating on the chicken pakora was odd, but saved them from being a total bust. Veggie Pakora were a dry disappointment. Federicks or Wong's Pakora win by a long margin. Overall, a nice date-night location, solid food overall, but rather pricey, and skip the pakora. read more

Amazing place. Upscale feel with jazz and moderate pricing. Clean flavours and spices. A very rare spot with actual table cloths and rice dishes at the $12 mark with shrimp. Small soup is enough for 3 or 4 ppl for $5 only! For a place like this I was expecting the pricing to be higher and flavours to be more common among the dishes, but , no! They maintain quality of flavours in the food and decor. Definitely enjoyed my time and will return. read more
