Royal Jasmine

Please take a look your receipt before giving tip in Royal Jamsine. I have visited couple of times and never noticed before. This restaurant not allowing to use credit card and charging 15% tip as \"Service Charges\" on top of your subtotal. Customer is not aware and when charge debit card it asked tip option. I talked to manager and he confirmed me this service charges we are collecting as Tip and he said its mentioned our website. I checked this restaurant website there is no information regarding 15% service charges. I am attaching screen shot as proof here. Please make sure and have a look your bill before payment.

This used to be a good restaurant couple of years ago, the service has deteriorated over time and the food is no longer quality as it used to be. Also, the meat is no longer Halal or HMA certified. Avoid this restaurant. Not a true authentic Chinese restaurant.

Personal favourite for Chinese and Hakka food

After looking for a decent Halal hakka restaurant since there was one in Brampton that were mixing halal with non halal meat when we found out, this one has made it to my list of favourite places. The manchurian chicken to my taste is made correctly, also ordered thai red chicken and chicken chow mein also great. The servers were accommodating.

We visited this place yesterday accidently. We actually went to Kandhar Kabob only to find out that it was closed down because of renovations. When my wife saw this restaurant nearby, we thought to give it a try... and boy what a wrong decision we made. Over-priced menu items and below average taste is all I can say about it. It would be a shame to use the word \"authentic\" for this kind of food. Here\'s what we ordered and how we felt about the place. Chicken pakoras tasted below average. Chilli chicken had a less portion, tasted below average, and was not even looking fresh. Chicken fried rice and chicken chowmein had good sized portions but tasted below average. Our server had poor customer service skills with a spot face, no smile, no greetings i.e. hi, hello, thank you, welcome, etc. Overall hygiene and cleanliness of the restaurant was poor since we saw a few flies flying and sitting on the tables and windows. After all these things, 10% service charge on top of the bill was a big turn off. Honestly, I\'m not promoting other places here but I have tasted much better hakka places in GTA. Very disappointing experience and definitely not going to return in future.

Alert: This place does not have valid HMA certificate. Place seems to be owned by non Muslims which means they mostly likely wouldn't care for selling halal food. We just walked away from the restaurant.

Watch out, beef isn't halal n their kitchen isn't halal anymore.

i have tried almost everything on their menu. their yellow curry and beef bulgogi are all time favorites. the pad thai could use some work. i find their chicken has a very strong smell to it and it is def a turn off. don\'t ever get their crispy beef. i made the mistake to order that once and it was freezer burnt beef, rock hard, with sauce dripping on it. DISGUSTING!

Pretty good place for hakka Chinese food. We love their cashew chicken and manchurian chicken chowmein. Their chicken corn soup was also very good! They are extremely busy with plenty customers each time I've been there, which is always a sign of quality. Overall a good experience but it can get pretty loud on weekends!

This is our favorite restaurant. I read the review 3 years ago where the name of waitress was mentioned too. Me and my wife went and asked for Helena. She served us and we are hooked to it. We are their regular customers, all waiters know where we would like to sit. Really a 7 start place. Best food Best Service Best environment Best Management Most clean place I would recommend all to go. I know NMK (Noor Mohammed Khan) very well, since I live in Mississauga, so its Zabiha Halal.

Craved hakka chinese food and not a lot (if any) places in Peel that offer this type of cuisine so heard about this place and gave it a try. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is fantastic. People there are very friendly as well. It can get quite noisy so better to ask for a table deeper into the restaurant than the mezzanine right beside the front door. Food came in at a good time and they do give quite a lot of it. I found that the food was okay and not really amazing. We ordered one rice, one chicken and one noodle dish. Everything was good except for the noodle dish "Bami Goreng", tasted like masala flavoured Maggie noodles so i dont recommend that. We also ordered the cashew ice cream and it was just 2 smalls scoops of vanilla ice cream, bosco chocolate sauce and cashews...Pretty boring. I found the place a little pricey as well, but I guess thats the norm now. I would definitely recommend, but go somewhere else for dessert.

Went here about a year ago for lunch with about 7-8 co-workers. We all ordered our individual meals. >well flavoured >nice large portions >prepared fast Definitely a repeat. *****Not sure about bringing the family though based on some of the other reviews*****

Onetime experience ! Good quality food, served in reasonable time. Prices per dished acceptable. Friendly staff. Will recommend to others.

Time and time again, this restaurant is simply amazing - dishes out the same quality of good and mouth watering food. This is our go to place. All the dishes are well prepared, however, at times it is hard to find chicken in the Hot n Sour soup - my recommendation would be to either make the chicken pieces bigger in size or increase in volume. Overall, 4.5/5 stars for this place. Their thai dishes are very well prepared.

Service and food quality depends on how busy the restaurant is. Food is good. Lunch and dinner specials are both around $10.

Great place and food is good. I would recommend this place.

I've been here a handful of times and tried pretty hard to make this my main go-to Hakka place in Mississauga but it just isn't quite up there. Atmosphere wise, while it can get loud like any restaurant, the place is kept pretty clean and tidy. Service is decent and most speak fluent English (huge plus for me). Food wise it's average in my opinion with the other Hakka places around town. Quantity, as well as quality, is certainly not leaps and bounds better than the other many Hakka establishments. Prices are at par with other competing Hakka restaurants. In summary, atmosphere and service are good...food is average. Hence, the 4-stars.

I have visited this place few times with family and friends and let me tell you that they serve good food with great service. on every visit my guests had nothing but praise. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Have been going to Royal Jasmine for quite some time now and let me start by saying that I'm extremely disappointed with my most recent visit. The post below me expresses exactly what happened to me, with the Manager interfering with my order and messing everything up. It got to the point where we got so upset that we just paid for whatever we had ordered and left without ordering more (She lost easily over $60 worth of business for a $3 error). I will never eat here again and would say that if you like bad service then this is the place for you.

Had great experiences the last 2 times. Had a horrible experience this time. Went with out-of-towners for a special experience. And was horribly disappointed. One of the servers was either an owner or higher up in the chain, and he kept on interfering with the rest of his stuff. We had kids with us - that was the reason. Definitely not kid-friendly. I hope it was a one-off thing but there was no apology so I am hoping to not go back there.

Very nice service, good food, awesome atmosphere. Definitely will return. Really good lunch deals!

Excellent Halal hakka restaurant. Unlike most of the other hakka places they DO NOT serve alcohol which is a plus. The restaurant is quite big and the service was great. The food was amazing, fresh and large portions. I will return.

Excellent service, good size serving, good taste. A lot of room to sit, Jasmine was able to accommodate 17 members of our family within minutes. Highly recommended. Asaf

simply one of the best hakka chinese restaurant in mississauga. Restaurant interior is spacious and has good decor in my opinion. Menu is exquisite, as is the food. The staff is very proffesional and helpful. I started getting take out last year, almost every employee at my office is addicted to Royal Jasmine's menu. The chef's know what their doing, would recommend it to everyone. Best dishes in my opinion: Manchurian Beef/Chicken Karachi Chicken Manchurian Hakka Chow mein Chilli Chicken Spicy Garlic Chicken

There are quite a few Hakka places now in the west end which are Halal and they all have a very similar theme when it comes to the menu. What sets this place apart is the fact they run some fantastic specials through the night and weekends. The food is pretty good as well. Have been there on numerous occasions and is liked by all.

Have tried many places around the GTA in a quest to find something as close to Pakistani Haka as possible. And this place comes the closest so far. Service was quick and efficient, the food was awesome and the portions generous. We went on a weekend evening, not sure if it's any different on weekdays but don't think it would be. The servers are well trained and not in your face as is the norm at many desi places. They leave you alone, yet make themselves available if they sense that you need something. Fabulous desi hakka place in my opinion, if there are better places I'd love to hear about them. Have tried everything from Lin Garden to Luckys in Scarborough, but never could find any place as decent as this.

We've been there two times already. Service is great, food is excellent, and the place itself is clean and has a traditional and warm ambiance. Prices are average and reasonable and well worth the quality. First time we went, it was a group of 14 for dinner, service was quick and quality was very high. Their soups are awesome. Second time, it was only 3 for lunch, service was good once again, quality was good but not quite dinner level. Will go back again inshaAllah UPDATE Feb.5/2011: Had to reduce the rating from 5 to 3-1/2 stars. Their soup was really good, so I tried it to-go. It's a rip-off, to be honest. For the same price, you get about half what you would if you sat in the restaurant. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, and tried it to-go a second time, same issue, about half the amount you'd get if you sat-in. Also tried their crispy beef, it crossed the line between crispy and solid. Had to send it back to get it de-crisped with more gravy, then it was edible. I'll give them one more chance before changing loyalty to Eddie's.

Awesome food the crispy beef and the udon noodles were to die for .... Also a great appetizer was chicken lollypops ...yummm I hv eaten Chinese in many places but this beats all .... recommended 100% ... price is very reasonable which surprised me because the ambience is very nice ... Chilly chicken not so gr8 ... Try something else

Among the better Halal Chicken restaurants in the city. The Entrees were excellent, the decor very nice (minus the Buddha statues). The dessert was quite bad, but I wouldn't use that as a reason not to visit. Recommended.

Excellent FOOD quality and taste.. My sisters had been getting their 50$ Dinner Special for 6 items... Alot of my friends had been telling me that their Dinner offers/deals are much better than their Lunch offerings. So I would suggest others to check them out for Dinner

The thing that differentiates this form other Indo-Chinese eateries is the quality of service. I have eaten in over 50 desi/chinese restaurants in the GTA,but the service at this place is a cut above. The food is above average, and on par with some of the best ones out there.

Very Very good food. Best overall Chinese halal place in GTA. Their soup was outstanding. Their Chicken pakoras were very good. Manchurian chow mein not great but decent. The Udon noodles, sweet n sour chicken and beef chili were all very good. I can't wait to go back there. Best of all, staff was courteous and the chef came out to meet us. No alcohol and pork sold at the restaurant. Average price of $10 a person.

very good food! like the service...high standards, big sizes...loved it :) would definately go aagain

We had the sesame beef dish, which came with plain rice, and the hakka chicken chow mein. The food arrived pretty quickly and we enjoyed our meal. The staff was nice but the service could use some improvement, ex: the waiter should refill everyone's water glasses without being called to do so several times throughout the meal.

I visited the restaurant soon after it first opened its doors. The setting is pretty decent and there are even sofas in the waiting area. The prices seem quite reasonable as well. However, I can't comment on the food as they told me that their chicken comes from Maple Lodge and the other meat from a vendor called "Fatima's". I encourage them to change to a hand-slaughtered only supplier and they said they would consider it, though the only time I followed up 3 weeks later they were still buying Maple Lodge. If more people call in asking for hand-slaughtered (real Zabiha) meat, they might see a point in changing. UPDATE: JULY 2010: Since I first visited them, Royal Jasmine has changed their meat supplier to "AM Meat(s)". I was given their number and I contact them to make sure that the meat was hand-slaughtered zabiha and not from Maple Lodge Farms. I have made numerous trips since and can easily say their food is among the most consistent and pleasant-tasting Hakka Chinese in the area.

Royal Jasmine is indeed, in my opinion, the best Hakka Restaurant in town. Besides traditional Hakka cuisine, they also have Thai dishes which are also very good. My wife and I regularly visit the place and have never found anything to complain about. Their Sriracha Chicken is absolutely finger-lickin good. The quantities are also generous.

I finally managed to visit this restaurant, their sign board on Dixie & Aimco was stated as Halal authentic chinese hakka, so before paying them a visit I called them first to verify if it was truly Halal. My call to the restaurant was forwarded to the owner who was very eager and helpful in providing me information and even gave me the number of their meat supplier which is " NMK Corporate on calling them it was confirmed to be Halal. The owner is a chinese born in Lucknow and could speak perfect urdu he even offered to show the Halal certificate. The restaurant is very big, clean with nice decor, the seatings are widely spaced apart allowing for more dining privacy and private conversations are not easily overheard, they also have booths and back room sections for private parties and gatherings, a lounge with sofas in front with typical japanese lanterns hung around, gives a very warm feel to it. Now the main part is the food we ordered chicken & shrimps hot and sour soup large, chilly chicken, manchurian fried rice, royal Hakka chopsuey and the boneless tandoori stir fry.The soup was excellent the chilly chicken in gravy was very good different from the other hakka in the Gta area we ordered xtra spicy and it was as we wished the gravy was really well spiced, but the manchurian fried rice that came had a slight over fried smell to it and the waitress waiting our table overheard my 6 year old son mentioning to me about it she promptly said it would be changed immediately in spite of my saying it was ok as it was not really that bad and at the time it was somewhat busy and all the other food was very good, any way within 5 minutes my fried rice was replaced and this time it was perfectly cooked we enjoyed it immensely, portions were generous and the pricing was very reasonable. The boneless tandoori is a must have at this place.The waiting staff is friendly and attentive and from my experience they take any issue seriously as the owner/cook even came out to greet and address the issue and apologised to us.Good food, good service, and a hands on approach by the owners on every issue will surely have us coming back to this restaurant.

This restaurant is the third time I have visited, first two time was due to my meeting at the branch office in the neighbourhood, my boss took me to lunch there ( his favourite lunch place) as I had no choice but to go along expecting it to be " just another Hakka joint" nothing special. Though the restaurant was fully packed (I figure it has a seating capacity of over 100 people) the servers we're extremely friendly and attentive and the food was also exceptionally good in taste and quality. We shared chicken pakoras I had their hot and sour soup, chicken terriyaki, what I really liked was the variety and freshness of the veggies in it and for the price to match if I had eaten at the chain restaurant " terriyaki" I would have ended up paying double ( boss paid) . My third visit was on Friday evening with my family as we live near downtown, the restaurant was not so busy as during lunch hours but we had the most enjoyable and relaxed evening with a good meal and a very pleasant conversation with the extremely friendly and polite server's too good a service for a Hakka Restaurant. Till now I have liked everything that I have eaten.Thai cashew chicken, terriyaki chicken, both with lot of fresh veggies as I have to watch my weight and shift more to veggie options than just to eat traditional hakka food chilly chicken, thai mango curry with chicken and shrimps, manchurian rice,karachi chicken & royal hakka noodle's which I managed to get some to eat from my children's order's which was very flavourful and tasty not too salty or greasy either. I might have written a long chapter for this review but all in all for the price and the value/ service you get here far surpasses one's expectation's, at least for me. Well done and keep it up!
