Everest Hakka Cuisine

Ambiance:
The décor of the restaurant is passable. Not a place you go on a date.
Food:
I’ve had Chilli Chicken, Manchurian Chicken, Chinese Biryani. The chilli chicken and biryani were pretty good. Chilli chicken had a spicy flavor to it and was crispy. The biryani was made in hakka style, and was an interesting take on the idea. The manchurian chicken was flavorful.
Service:
Staff was friendly. Everything came on time and the wait-​staff took care of us.
Value:
The prices were reasonable.

Really good food… cooked absolutely fresh!
Would definitely come back if in the area

Food is OK. not the best indian chinese in Toronto but for close proximity to Toronto its doable. I wish they didnt add as much artificial coloring in their foods.

We went here Saturday night and it was basically empty. A few people came in as we were finishing up though, so maybe we were just early for dinner.
We got the Manchurian vegetable pakoras and the hakka veggie noodles and my friend got the chicken fried rice and chicken lollipops. She seemed to enjoy them, but I forgot to actually ask her.
We liked our food. The pakoras’ gravy colour was different from what we’re used to but they still tasted really good. And this had this really nice crunch that I loved. The only issue is that I asked for mild b/​c my stomach’s been upset lately, and the pakoras were still pretty spicy — this coming from an Indian.
Overall, I liked it and I would choose to go there if we’re ever in Etobicoke!

We walked in with great expectation as we were craving Indian Chinese. However, if you’re looking for authentic Indian-​Chinese this isn’t the place for you. The lollipop chicken was missing a basic ingredient-​salt. The rice was cooked with too much water and lumpy. The manchurian fish was soggy rather than crispy!

I was really only recently introduced to Hakka in general and truthfully I am still quite the novice however I am officially hooked on Hakka because of this place!
You can find it on Lakeshore East of Royal York and West of Parklawn; in Mimico I believe with enough street parking that’s free after 6pm yay!
The restaurant is cozy and quaint with limited tables but they are large enough to accommodate a pretty nice meal. I have yet to eat in as I tend to be a takeout girl these days so I can’t comment much further on the dining experience.
They have a large menu of indo-​Chinese inspired items many of which they give you an option of how spicy you would like it. I have not gone any spicier then medium and even then I found it a tad hot however I am a bit of a weakling when it comes to spice. However every dish I have tried was bursting with flavor; the veggie Hakka noodles, Manchurian chicken… Ginger honey chicken… Ect. The mango lassi was absolutely incredible I do not even know how to describe how rich and fresh it tasted like the most amazing mango smoothie ever! The portions are decent, I find the price affordable and the service is above par. They can get a tad busy at times as clearly this location is a neighborhood staple which doesn’t surprise me at all…
I most certainly will be returning to satisfy my Hakka craving soon

I would recommend Everest Hakka! I ordered takeout for 25 people and the owner helped me with the order given my guest preferences. And suggested trays to make it most economical!
At pick up they had it packed well and offered to put it in my car for me. The food was delicious everyone loved it. One suggestion is the mixed broccoli vegetable dish was a bit too saucy so took some out. All in all — great experience and would recommend! Julie and Hersh

Ok food. Seems to have lots of MSG. Barely had any chicken. I ordered the Chili chicken and manchurian noodle. Both were tasty but very few small pieces of chicken.
The guy who took my order was very nice and food was ready really fast.

really really good food. really really good quality, very good for the price. everything is very high quality and not that expensive. very unique menu items great experience.

Was on a business trip and decided to stop by an Indian Chinese restaurant. Made an excellent decision by choosing this restaurant. Food is awesome!!! Great customer service too! If you like Indian Chinese food, this is the place to go to in Toronto!

It isn’t flashy, but makes up for it with fantastic food. The dry/​chili items on the menu stand out along with the unreal hakka noodles. The Crispy Chili Beef is our favourite item. For a couple, two meat dishes with a hakka noodles dish is a more than enough and you’ll do well to finish.

I’m new to Hakka-​style cuisine, but I saw they offered dishes with tofu and had a serious tofu craving last night, so I stopped by for take-​out. It was less than an hour before close, and there were a few tables filled with people eating, and 2 – 3 people coming in for takeout during the short time I was there — a sign of a well-​loved restaurant!
The server helped explain the dishes and directed me to the Manchurian tofu and the Chili Garlic fried rice. I found the style of the fried rice a little drier than I was used to, but it was still packed full of flavour! The tofu came sitting in a sticky (sweet) spicy sauce that paired so well with the rice it was hard to believe they were two separate dishes.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ with rice!
I can’t wait to try Everest Hakka House again, they do have quite a few vegetarian options, and I now have a goal to try each of them at least once :)

I got some take out the other night. The service was good the male who took my order tried to make a few suggestions of the most popular dishes.
I thought the food was about a 6 out of 10. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great either. Way way too oily. I felt lethargic when I finished my meal and there was oil everywhere.
I don’t know if I’ll be able to return due to that much grease.

My boyfriend and I went there for the first time last night and we were wowed. 2 glasses of wine, veggie spring rolls (pakora-​type filling– not the usual, but it works), hot & sour soup, sweet chicken noodle soup (not your standard fare, but so yummy), chili crispy beef, mixed hakka noodles, and a large steamed rice, came out to about $ 40, not including tip. It was delicious, super reasonable, and well worth the trip. We’re going again!

The haka house special noodles is a wonderful mix of flavors, i never thought that Chinese –indian food could taste so good
The chop suey hakka noodles are something you have to try, the noodles are so crispy and tasty that you can’t have enough of them … and don’t get me started with the chow suey sauce, oh man is something to die for
Totally recomend this place
Don’t hesitate to come check it out!!!

Definitely a must try. The manchurian Chili chicken was amazing. Rice dishes were good. Don’t go for the atmosphere, go for the food. I had first went here with a Groupon, but going back without any discount was still worth it. Food quality is good and price is very reasonable.

This place has been bookmarked for a while and I found myself in the area, so decided to grab some takeout. Prices are around the $ 10 – 12 mark per dish and steamed rice is extra.
Male who took my order was quite friendly and had some recommendations after some probing. The menu did NOT have any description, so naturally, I had some questions. :)
I ordered the Manchurian Mixed Noodles ($ 11 taxes in with chicken, shrimp, & egg) and the weight was quite significant. I will be eating this for at least 3 meals! Medium heat did have a kick, but I needed additional chilli sauce that was kindly provided. Noodles were good, not greasy, not salt ladened, didn’t blow my socks off, but good.
I guess for that true «Hakka» experience I should’ve ordered something more Indian than Chinese influenced, so keep that in mind.
If you’re looking to check this place out, either go for Lunch OR order for 2−3ppl so you can taste different dishes!

Possibly the best chilli chicken we’ve had… and we’ve eaten a lot of chilli chicken!!! We ordered it dry, it tastes really fresh and had a great flavour. The chicken corn soup was also very good. It had small pieces of white meat and less egg than usual– would definitely recommend it. Great place for amazing food!

I was super excited to try this restaurant as it came up on Blogto Top Ten hakka restaurants and I needed to get my Hakka on! I ordered a chill chicken fried rice and a Manchurian chicken. It came to $ 21.50-a bit pricey, yes, but hey! if the quality is worth it, why not? Le sigh. sadly I was disappointed. The Manchurian chicken came in super tiny pieces, each piece was less than half a teaspoon in size, and that was after the coating and saucing. It was practically swimming in the sauce.
The chill chicken fried rice was a decent ⁴⁄₅. They use basmati rice instead of traditional jasmine rice, and with a good combination of spices, spring onions, and eggs. My only grippe is that the chicken was overcooked so it tasted slightly dry. However, props for them on using white meat instead of just dark meat.
All in all, after comparing it to other Hakka joints, this place pales in comparison with respect to price point, flavour, and quantity. If you’re planning on trekking out here to try this place, I would advise you to drive further to some other places. Shrugs, maybe their lunches are more reasonable?

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try Hakka cuisine, so we stumbled upon this great place on Unilocal.
It’s about 20 – 30 min drive from downtown Toronto and in a neighborhoody area. From the start, the servers were super friendly and gave us great recommendations on what to get.
We had the fried chili chicken, combination biryani fried rice, a vegetable dish in a great curry, and shrimp hakka noodles. Everything truly tasted fusion Indian-​Chinese and was very tasty! We also had mango Cheetah beer as a perfect accompaniment.
I highly recommend trying Hakka cuisine and Everest is a great place for it!

A hidden gem! We went for Mother’s Day lunch and were very impressed with the service and food. It was quiet around lunch but server said it gets busier at dinner (about 10 tables/​booths in total) & recommended reservations. The service was excellent and staff were so pleasant!
Lunch special was reasonably priced at $ 7.95 and an excellent variety of Indian-​Chinese food. We could hear the food being made fresh (& judging from the time it took).
We had the chilli fish (fried but soft and delicious), veggie Manchurian chili, and veggie Hakka noodle lunch specials. Good portion size. No left overs.
We also had the veggie spring roll appetizers which have a similar filling to samosas (potatoes). And we had the dry chilli chicken which was delicious & spicy the way we like it (no gravy).
Really great service and we will go back for take out it sit-​down. Recommend ordering everything at once since it is made fresh.
We also went for a walk by the water afterwards since it was a nice day. My mom enjoyed that too.

Folks,
This place rules. Here’s why:
+ It’s clean — this is a very clean place to eat, so you’ll feel very comfortable here.
+ Very nice people run the restaurant — this means you’ll feel respected and appreciated when you dine here. This is one of those places where the people running the restaurant will remember you if you’re a repeat customer and they’ll 100% take care of you for it whenever you come or order.
+ most importantly, THE FOOD! I’ve only had the hakka noodles, chinese chicken biriyani, and the chili chicken, and the chicken lollipops. ALL of them are winners! They are extremely delicious and I love each and everyone of these dishes.
+ This place is awesome for dining in or takeout. The portion sizes are big so you get a lot for your buck.

Got the chilli chicken lunch special for $ 7.95. It comes with rice, soup and salad. It was ok… not spicy enough even though I asked for extra spicy it tasted like a mild. Chilli chicken portion was on the smaller side but had a good crispiness. Sauce is a bit watery… maybe I’ll order it dry next time?

I wanted to post this review as quickly as possible because we really want this place to do well.
My husband and I are huge fans of Hakka cuisine and have been known to drive out to restaurants in Scarborough just to get take-​out. Let me tell you, our wish came true having Everest so close to home! It’s a cute, little restaurant in Mimico on Lake Shore Blvd W (on the north side between Park Lawn and Royal York) and has enough street parking.
I followed all the good reviews on Unilocal and decided to try it last night. I called ahead to place my order and the guy on the other end was so friendly and accommodating — he even offered to make my chili chicken with white meat for just a couple dollars more. I ended up ordering that, crispy chili beef and mixed Manchurian noodles.
I got such a good vibe when I went to pick up the food; they had this really nice Indian music playing, it was so clean and it smelled really good — a combination of good food cooking and some other nice aroma. They were the most gracious and endearing people — even the chef came out to thank me for my business and offered to even make something outside the menu for me next time.
Anyway, the food was second-​to-​none. Good quality ingredients, fresh, large portions (not a lot fillers like onions and green peppers like most Hakka restaurants), not greasy at all and everything was spiced just right. The chef obviously takes pride in his creations — it was even packed and bagged properly. I took some the next day for my colleague and he couldn’t believe how delicious it was; he said he’ll even make the trip in from mid-​town. We plan to take two other couples there for dinner next month.
This place really is a gem and I strongly encourage others to come down to the lake because Everest and a lot of other good restaurants have started to open up.
