Tangerine Asian Cuisine 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. Our head chef is originally from Bombay (Mumbai) who has mastered Hakka cooking over the years and opened Tangerine Asian Cuisine on July 17, 2003. At Tangerine, we strive to provide our customers with great service and good food. Keeping truly to our motto, "A Taste Above All the Rest." Business Hours: Sunday 12pm - 10pm, Monday - Thursday 11am - 10pm, Friday - Saturday 11am - 11pm, Holidays 02pm - 10pm<br />

We went there with a party of 10. The food was great, but the service was slow. We recommend the mango chicken and the fried beef, though we didn't complain about any of the dishes.
I use to buy food and shared it with my non Muslim friend who specifically go for non halal food .I was told by staff it's halal and told to my friend it's not .
This is the second time I have gotten take out from this location, first time was bad and the second time which was a few days back was even worst. The house fried rice was blan and no flavour, the hakkah noodles were burnt, the chilli chicken was the worst I have had. The beef with broccoli was OK. The food quality at this place is very bad
assalamualaikum brothers and sisters. that location is a bit sketchy; it sells alchohol and had denied many times the certification or even explanation of where and how they get their meat, let alone none of them are muslims, well atleast dont occur to me at any point that they are. until one day a close friend of mine went in there with his lawyer to inquire about their halaal status since they have brushed us off countless times before it. owner was very scared and said he didnt know it was such a serious matter and begged them to not take it forward and in return he was to take the halaal signs off and would not advertise it. so now we stay away from it. though id share the incident. jazakAllah
I have been here twice. The first time I went, I had the Kung Pow Chicken: overslated, loaded with MSG, DRY, heavy,vinigery,dry rice and just terrible. It was one of the worst meals I've had in my life. Worst of all the almonds were worse. Second time I went (can't say I wanted to) I had the honey garlic chicken. Now this meal wasn't perfect, still overcooked they really improved there standards. The honey had a smooth flavor, garlic wasn't overpowering and rice was cooked well. It could've done with more salt and less soy but overall not bad, especially considering what they used to be like. Excellent value for money, great for families. Also the first time I went, there was only one other table (saturday)! Second time I went it was full on sunday! They've definitely improved their standard and service.
