Hakka Legend specializes in Hakka Chinese Food. The Hakka Chinese population in Toronto comprised of first or second generation of Chinese born in Calcutta, India. The word Hakka means "Guest". The Hakka Chinese are minority people who have emigrated from South China to places like India, Mauritius and Jamaica. In India, Calcutta was a primary location for Hakka Chinese to settle and further expand business opportunities such as dentistry, photography, leather tannery and Hakka chinese restaurant. Quite often our Indian customers have heard of "Bentinck Street" and leather tanneries in Tangra, now populated with scores of Hakka Chinese restaurants. Since the 1980's, most Hakka Chinese from India have settled in Toronto, Canada. The Chinese Indian flavour food is unique and different cooking style than the traditional or main stream Chinese food. The Hakka food is cooked with various Indian spices such as our famous Chicken Pakora or Chilli Chicken. Added on November 28, 2010 and last updated 9 years ago

★★☆☆☆ I e-mailed this restaurant about where they buy their halal meat. They told me AL-Mahdi halal. I googled Al-Mahdi halal and called it. A chinese lady with a strong chinese accent answered the phone...with "wai" (Chinese for hello). I thought I had the wrong number. I hung up. Looked at another link for the number later and it was the same number. I called and asked the lady if she sells halal meat. She was very defensive and kept asking me who I am.
I eventually told her that I was told that she supplies Tangerine with beef and chicken. I kept asking her about her halal meat and she was very unclear. She kept saying yes halal, yes beef and chicken, no just chicken...then I asked her where she gets her meat from. She told me she gets the chicken from Sargeant Farms and she gets the beef from different suppliers around but wouldn't give me a clear answer.
I basically had to tell her what sort of response I would expect from her if she was truly selling Halal meat.
I personally find it weird that a Chinese owned company feels the need to give themselves an Arabic name. Clearly they are not Muslim or she would have greeted me with salaams and clearly explained about halal meat. She did NONE of that. They are posing as a halal meat place and this restaurant is NOT HALAL.
Stop eating from places that sell alcohol! Tangerine is NOT HALAL! Posted on October 2, 2013 |

★☆☆☆☆ It is definitely not halal. I asked the waiters many times, they were confused themselves. One of them said that it "might" be halal, I was a bit surprised of the response. Please, don't visit this restaurant. They are definitely fooling Muslims with their "halal" food. Posted on December 20, 2012 |

★☆☆☆☆ Not Halal, No Certification displayed. I know some muslims don't like to investigate if place is really serving halal food or not. So to some as long as it say halal it does not matter to them however these hakka places are NOT serving halal meat, unless they have certification. I know Hakka Masala at Midland and Lawrence has HMA certification so since I have a choice I do not eat at these other places who don't care about my belief. Posted on December 2, 2012 |

NR Please make sure it's halal. I called and asked so many times and they keep telling me different places where they get meat from. Very suspicious. Posted on August 8, 2011 |

★★★☆☆ Decent place with decent food. Food is not expensive and you get huge portions! For the amount of food you get, it's definitely worth the price. Try the chicken pakoras and hakka noodles which were the best items I had, they can make it mild or spicy. I'd stay away from the fried rice dish because it was dry and tasteless. I'd visit this place again. My real rating is 3.5 stars :) Posted on December 21, 2010 |
