Danforth Dragon Restaurant

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.

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 ginger beef.

Ate in and really enjoyed it. Had the Crispy Ginger Beef, Yang Chow Fried Rice, Chicken Pakora, Egg Rolls, and Chilli Paneer with Bok Choy—all super tasty and fresh. Chill spot, good vibes, and solid food. I’ll be back for sure!

We just threw a party for about 30 people and got Danforth Dragon to cater. We ordered based on their good reviews since we’ve never tried their food before and they didn’t disappoint! The chef gave great suggestions. Food was fresh and delicious. Platters were priced fairly and the portions were huge. We highly recommend for your next party or just want great Hakka food.

STILL such a fan of this place. Food is so good and so fairly priced. Come with a large group, order lots of variety and always have leftovers.

Crispy ginger beef is next level, but also get Manchurian paneer.

Best hakka in the east end, highly recommend their crispy beef.

Excellent food, friendly and courteous service. Our new go to location for Hakka Chinese food.

Pretty mid, it’s a try a few things but not order again kind of place.
