Hakka Legend Asian Cuisine — Restaurant in Toronto

I’m really quite upset about my experience with his restaurant and particularly this location. I ordered a fairly larger meal consisting of a Bombay chicken, Spicy garlic chicken, two fried spicy calamari, pineapple chicken rice and Shanghai chicken noodles as well as a few drinks on the side. When I got the food delivered it was missing my drinks which upset me cause I had ordered for guests and now I had nothing to serve them. On top of that the calamari was soggy as it was fried in such a THICK layer of batter! No where on the distribution did it say it was it was battered. I found that to be extremely misleading as the photos lacked this as well. However, at the moment all I could deal with were my missing items. So I called the delivery driver and he informed me the restaurant didn’t even give him drinks. So I called the restaurant hoping to get it resolved. The man who answered really had no care about what I was asking for. I simply wanted my items so me and my guests could enjoy our food. He told me there’s nothing he can do as he didn’t handle my order. I told him no worries, can someone just bring me my drinks. He told me again no, instead that I indicate on the app I didn’t get it and then order again. ORDER AGAIN! Order again so I can be charged another delivery fee and more for a mistake made by your restaurant. I asked to speak with a manager, he told me there wasn’t one. (How convenient in the middle of the day no one was managing their staff) Now I was annoyed, he really didn’t care and just wanted me off the phone. So I said I’m really dissatisfied with the service I’m receiving. You know what he told me, he said if you’re dissatisfied then put a review, which is what I’m doing right now. I read the many reviews before mine and a majority of them said this place had great customer service and food. After this experience I will never buy from this place, they don’t care. All they want is your money. They’re nothing but deceivers and thief’s. I do not recommend...

I recently ordered from Hakka Legend for a New Year’s dinner gathering with friends, and unfortunately, I was left deeply disappointed. I had high hopes for this meal, especially since I ordered in large quantity to ensure everyone would be well-fed. Sadly, the experience was far from what I expected.

The rice was the first letdown. It was poorly cooked—underseasoned, unevenly cooked, and some grains were still hard. It seemed like it had been rushed, lacking the soft, fluffy texture you expect from a well-prepared dish. It was almost inedible, and definitely not something I would want to serve at a gathering.

Next, the Chicken Chilli was an even bigger disappointment. The dish was completely bland and lacked any real flavor. What should have been a fiery, savory delight was nothing more than a bowl of onions with a few pieces of chicken tossed in. The lack of seasoning and depth made it taste like it had been thrown together without any thought. It was hard to believe this was the same restaurant that people rave about.

To make matters worse, we found three hairs in the food we ordered. That was incredibly frustrating and made the entire experience even worse. Finding hair in your meal is a dealbreaker, especially when you're trying to enjoy a special dinner with friends.

Given that I ordered such a large quantity for my friends, this made the whole situation worse. We were all looking forward to a flavorful, satisfying meal, but instead, we ended up feeling let down. I left Hakka Legend upset and embarrassed for having recommended it to my friends. It’s frustrating to spend money on a meal that falls so short of expectations, especially when you’re trying to make a special occasion memorable. I won’t be coming back...
