I recently dined at this Hakka Legend and had a highly disappointing experience. The food was mediocre at best. To make matters worse, they automatically charged a gratuity on the bill, which is not mentioned anywhere on the menu. When I proceeded to pay, the payment terminal still prompted me to add a tip.
Upon questioning the manager, I was told they impose the automatic gratuity because, in his words, "customers are cheap." When I pointed out that this practice is unethical, he dismissively said, "It's your money and you can choose to eat elsewhere."
Additionally, the bathroom was filthy. The urinal was leaking and emitted a horrible smell, making the entire experience even more unpleasant. This attitude and lack of cleanliness are unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. I will not be returning and suggest others avoid this place as well. There are much better options with more transparent and respectful service.

This small and cozy hakka style Indo-Chinese restaurant serves authentic and delicious cuisine. Their large portions, a wide variety in food manu, reasonable prices, and excellent and quick service are added advantage. The restaurant is nicely decorated and has ample seating arrangement. They also have ample parking spaces.
It’s been one of my favourite place to eat it since I first went there in 2013. Since then I have been regular and still continue to love their food!
This restaurant is great to enjoy flavourful Hakka Chinese food. The taste is authentic, portions are big and the service is excellent. This is one of 3 locations and has not disappointed once. A variety of lunch specials, each one delicious.
Notable dishes are - Chilli Chicken, Mango Chicken, Szechuan chicken, Hakka Noodles , Hot & Sour soup, fried rice to name a few !!

Was my first time at Hakka Legend! Ordered egg fried rice and chilli beef. Portion was good and quickly served. Chilli beef tasted good. Egg fried rice didn't have much of egg and taste was okay. So, overall 3 star for food. One extra star for the service. When I asked for boxes for my left over the waitress was very kind and even packed my food. Other staff were nice and courteous too.
A Well-Rounded Dining Experience at Haka Legend Asian Cuisine
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Haka Legend Asian Cuisine, and my overall experience was quite positive. The restaurant's atmosphere struck a delightful balance between modern aesthetics and a cozy ambiance. The warm lighting and tasteful decor created a welcoming environment that added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.
The standout feature for me was the attentive and friendly service. The staff at Haka Legend were prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable about the menu. Their recommendations and willingness to accommodate special requests significantly enhanced the dining experience.
Now, turning to the food, while it was generally good, I found some dishes lacked a bit of the bold flavors I expected from Asian cuisine. The variety on the menu was impressive, but a few dishes could benefit from a more robust seasoning to truly stand out.
In terms of specific dishes, the **Chilli Chicken** was a highlight with its spicy kick and flavorful blend of ingredients. However, the **Mandarin Chicken** fell slightly short of expectations, lacking the depth of taste I anticipated.
Despite these minor culinary nuances, the overall experience at Haka Legend Asian Cuisine was positive. The inviting atmosphere and exceptional service played a crucial role in elevating the dining experience. I would recommend Haka Legend to those seeking a pleasant environment and attentive service, with the hope that the culinary offerings continue to evolve for an even more satisfying experience in the future. Hence, I rate it 4 out of 5 stars.

The food itself can be a hit or miss depending on what is ordered.
$14.95 Lollipop Chicken 8 pieces
Not bad.
$13.95 Fish Pakora
Pretty decent. Not the best out there, but was good.
$16.95 Spicy Deep Fried Mixed Seafood (Dry)
This was a little underwhelming. It wasn't as expected. The seafood was more or less a mix bag of stuff you'd find in the freezer isle. It was also too salty.
$13.95 Guyanese Chicken on Egg Fried Rice
This was pretty good. The rice was flavorful and the chicken was tender.
$13.95 House Special noodles
The noodles were decent as well. Not overly salty and yet has a Hakka style flavor.
Free parking.

My first time having Hakka food was here!
The food is pretty greasy but the flavour and spice is there. Portions were average, but considering how heavy it was, size was not bad. We got 4 dishes for 4 people, and had leftovers.
Servers were very fast and didn't really pay us much attention.
A good place to dine casually with family and friends!
Washrooms are downstairs near the entrance.
