Description

A recent visit to a Hakka restaurant left many disappointed with the lack of flavor, quality, and service. Some patrons found the food to be pre-cooked, lacking in taste, and not worth the money. A few noted the overwhelming amount of sauce in certain dishes and the absence of proper spices. Complaints about lukewarm food and unprofessional service were also prevalent. However, there were positive reviews that highlighted the quick delivery, generous portions, and tasty dishes like the chili chicken and garlic shrimp. Though consistency seemed to be an issue for some, those who enjoyed their meals found the experience to be pleasant and satisfying. Despite mixed reviews, it seems the restaurant can deliver a good meal if you know what and when to order.

Fredricks has several branches in Toronto and I heaved already gone to two of them. The latest one I visited was the one at Scarborough. The service here is better than the one at Markham and the food is equally good. Loved to speak with the ex Indian Chinese server who was fully of laughs and conversation. Freedricks is fast becoming my favourite Hakka Chinese restaurant. Love their Cantonese Chow mein. Their dragon chicken was yummy and was the fried rice. The chicken corn soup was sumptuous . Wonderful place to eat and not hard on the wallet. Please mix their daily lunch menu with orders form their ala carte menu to get a good deal. Oh yes. I am allergic to MSM so they are careful to give me food without it. Which makes a lot of difference.

What happened to this place? The food is now terrible and the service is awful. The chili chicken barely has any flavour and is watered down. The vegetable tofu was bland and watery as well. The paneer was soft, old and stale. This is the worst Hakka experience I've had in Scarborough. It used to be so good here. Avoid this place at all costs.

Last Friday for dinner celebrating a friend's birthday. We ordered the spicy combo for 4 people. Food was not spicy at all. I was quite surprised as I have eaten there before. Combo included dessert, we did not get the dessert but instead got the bill. Different waitress and had to wait for a while to get the dessert after we told her. Did not clean up the dinner plates. Service was bad, the original waitress was sitting at a table going through her phone. Will not be coming back to this location. Waste of money and time.

???? Really not happy with the food we ordered. We were soooo hungry, and we ordered many food items. We were eight people. All the food was very, very average. Not a single person was happy with the food. Guys, you guys should seriously think about the food taste. Looking good is not the final thing; it should taste good, also.

I use to go to Fredericks years ago and stopped as I found a hair in my food and complained to the owner and he told me he eats hair all the time so I gave them a break and decided to try again. This time I ordered the chili chicken and it was tasty at first until I bite into a piece of glass; could have broken my teeth or swallowed it. The glass resembles a piece that might have come from a broken beer bottle. They offered me a replacement but I was scared to try anything from them so they refunded my money back but no compensation for my time or anything else. Will never eat here again!!
