As soon as we entered we saw it was busy and we were seated at a table quickly. No one asked us for water for 10 minutes and...the waitress seemed rushed and in a hurry to take the order later. We ordered some Cantonese veggie chow mein, schezuan tiger prawns and bean curd with vegetables. We also ordered small veggie corn soup and a small chicken corn soup. The soups were good though less salt. The chow mein and the veggie bean curd seemed to have the same brown sauce which turned watery in a little while. The tiger shrimp came with cauliflower in it which was surprising. The taste was okay. The waitress annoyed my husband when she literally shoved the rice bowls on to his plate. She only apologized when he called her back. I wouldn't go to this place again.

No wonder they have to use Groupons to get customers.Service has been decent consistently, but the food has been erratic since Fall 2015. The waitress suggested that their chef quit, so they brought in a new chef.We've had their lunch specials and dinner menus, and the food's quality has been on a constant slide downhill.Not only are their no longer as spicy as they used to be, they're bland (un-salted) too. That along with excessive amounts of MSG is killing it!!

We had to return to try the Crispy Beef again, which was amazing – crispy, sweet, and full of flavor, much better than the neighboring Hakka restaurant. The Chili Chicken (dry version) and the Chicken Cantonese Chow Mein were also excellent. Unlike most Chinese restaurants, there is a short wait before the food is served, but it is worth it as the dishes are freshly prepared, well cooked, and flavorful. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is friendly. The ambiance is comfortable and inviting. We can't wait to return.

The lunch special is unbeatable, serving a generous portion of food for under $6. Although I'm a picky eater and usually avoid curry or Indian dishes, I thoroughly enjoyed the General Tso's chicken. Highly recommend checking out this spot!

Glad I saw it because if you're looking for an affordable, flavourful, dinner that reminds you of flavours from your childhood (or your Indian or Asian friend's childhood) then this is a good place to come by for dishes that have some spice, some bold flavour and some familiarity. <br/ <br/ It's right across from Costco so makes a good after shopping trip for a meal. HUGE portions.<br/ <br/ I recommend the house special chow mein. Any of the manchurian dishes too are great.<br/ <br/ Atmosphere is very greasy spoon, but the food is on point for when you some want something hearty, yet full of flavour.

The restaurant was spacious and well-maintained. It wasn't very crowded, with an equal number of customers ordering takeout or dining in. Hakka King still had a fresh feel, with patrons carefully studying the menu and asking many questions. I believe that over time, this could become a popular spot in the area.
