Danforth Dragon Restaurant — Restaurant in Toronto

After all these years, Danforth Dragon remains truly legendary.

The crispy ginger beef is still one of the best in the city, with a sweet-savoury crispy coating over tender beef. The shrimp fried rice is generous with the protein and tasty with the rice. The portion sizes can feed a flight of dragons. The prices remain reasonable, and the service remains quick. Overall, still a great spot to chow down. Original Review:

Holy Hakka, the crispy ginger beef is amazing!!! I've tried hakka a few times and the crispy ginger beef is my go-to test of how good it is. Gotta say, Danforth Dragon did not disappoint. The beef was crispy without being hard and jerky-like in texture, the garlic flavour really came through, and the overall taste was sweet/spicy-but-leaning-towards-sweet. Basically, checked all the things I look for in my crispy ginger beef.

Got also a few other things: Shrimp pakora: Pretty good! The coating wasn't too thick, shrimp-to-fillong ratio was fine, and while it was chewier than what I'm used to, that was actually a good thing. Singaporean noodles: A miss for me. I opened up the takeout container and smelled the curry and got so excited. Too bad the dish didn't live up to that initial smell. It wasn't bad, just a bit dry and would have wanted a slightly stronger curry taste. Mango lassi: Thick, yogurty, strong mango flavour.

I really enjoyed Danforth Dragon. And needless to say, if you do stop by, make sure to try the crispy...

Very clean, authentic and welcoming environment. Immediately addressed by the kind woman at the front with a warm smile and hello, with small conversation to acknowledge what we were celebrating, she promptly showed us to our table. (We even briefly mentioned it was cold out so she sat us at a table away from the breeze). Throughout our dining experience, all staff members were friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations tailored to our dietary preferences. The food was not only delicious but also clearly fresh, served in generous portions (with plenty of leftovers to take home). The combination of flavor, price, quality, and quantity ensures my return visits. Our needs were always taken care of before we even had to ask, always attention to detail despite working multiple roles. This restaurant was exceptionally clean, including the bathroom! This establishment exemplifies the outcome of resilience and dedication of family-run businesses, showcasing their passion through...

As you step through the doors, the vibrant and inviting ambiance envelops you, setting the stage for an evening of unparalleled sensory indulgence. The decor seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with nods to Hakka heritage, creating an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and warmly familiar. The culinary mastery at Haka Haven is immediately evident in the menu, a carefully curated symphony of flavors that pays homage to the diverse regions of Hakka cuisine. Each dish is a work of art, meticulously crafted to showcase the bold, robust, and harmonious votes that define Hakka favors. To start the culinary journey, we sampled the Prawn Rangoon, a delicate dance of crispy perfection and succulent prawns enveloped in a subtle fusion of spices. The Dim Sum Platter followed suit, presenting an exquisite assortment that celebrated the intricacies of Haka dumplings, leaving us eager for what...
