I'm not one to write reviews often, only when I'm extremely happy with a service - or extremely disappointed.

In this case, I am looking for the 0 star option, because that is what they deserve.

I have been ordering from this place every single week, sometimes several times a week! A few weeks ago, I made an order on Uber because our car was in the garage. The chili chicken was horrible! It was burnt and hard. I called them right away, hoping they would happily fix it with a new one, or apologize at the least. Nothing! They blamed the Uber driver and said I should contact Uber to deal with it. I did.

I am always someone who gives people a second chance, so this past Friday - instead of going to the hundreds of other Hakka places around - I called to place my weekly order. I thought they would be so grateful to have the chance to get back their regular customer. Instead, the girl on the phone asked if I was the one with the Uber complain - to which I said yes. She went to speak to the guys at the back, while I was on speakerphone - and came back on the line to say she wouldn't serve me! She accused me of giving them a bad review, to which I said, no I absolutely did NOT write a review. I always try to resolve problems without a bad review.

Instead of having an ounce of decency and customer service manners to realize that they are so lucky that I came back, I was met with this level of disrespect, of falsely being accused of a bad review AND being told they won't serve me.

So here I am, writing that review which I was accused of previously - and saying I am so, so disappointed that on top of poor quality food that you do not take accountability for, you also don't know the first thing about customer service or respect for a customer who has been giving you business week after week.

Danforth Dragon is one of our favourite Hakka restaurants. My partner and I have been coming for the two tofu lunch specials for quite some time now. Always great.

We recently reached out and asked Danforth Dragon to do a catered event for about 30 people. The food was tasty (everyone asked where the food was from), reasonably priced and exactly what we negotiated down to delivery time and portions.

Thank you and see you soon.

This was by far the most amazing Asian cuisine I have experienced. The food and staff are out of this world. I only wish that I lived closer so that I could enjoy it more often

This place clearly doesn’t care about customers. Ordered through Uber because our car’s in the garage — the “chilli chicken” had no chilli at all! When I called to complain, they blamed the Uber driver. You can’t make this stuff up.

Absolutely ridiculous excuse and zero accountability. They’ve just lost a regular customer.

Ordered through Uber Eats. Used to be reliably delicious. I ordered the Ginger Chicken. The chicken was so hard and dry it was practically inedible! Must’ve been fried multiple times. The rest of the food—fried tofu with mixed vegetables and steamed rice was just okay. Not spicy, not garlicky, not Hakka. They provided a bag of mi spring rolls for free—the oil just seeped out. Not sure what happened but I won’t be ordering again. Makes me sad.

We got the Hakka chow mein, crispy ginger beef, and jeera green beans. All were fantastic!! The beef was tender and perfectly crisped. The beans were crisp but also blistered to perfection. The chow mein was seasoned just right. 10/10. Will come again!

The food here is great. You can get closest to Indian Hakka taste here. Only problem is, this place is often close. It’s always hit or miss. And they don’t update their Google hours. Now as per the note on door, they are close till October but Google page displays Open till 9. Wish I could give negative 5 stars for review about service.

Not much seating, but the food is great. Less spicy than the average Hakka restaurant, but crispier and more gingery.
