A budget-friendly Hakka spot with huge portions, strong takeaway value, and many fans for Bombay chicken and noodles, but the dine-in experience is dogged by rude service, mandatory fees, and recurring hygiene/payment complaints.
Super Hakka Restaurant delivers solid food quality with signature dishes like Bombay chicken and Hakka noodles earning consistent praise, but significant concerns prevent a higher grade. Food safety issues, unreliable service attentiveness, and inconsistent execution across visits undermine the dining experience, while the dated setting lacks appeal. Strong value for money and loyal following cannot offset these operational gaps.
Super Hakka is the kind of Scarborough Hakka spot people build a habit around: big platters, fast-moving lunch specials, private booth seating, and a menu that leans hard into Bombay chicken, chili chicken, noodles, and fried rice. Plenty of diners clearly love the food and the value, and a few even treat it like a family ritual. One reviewer summed up the mood well in plain English: the kitchen can really make the Hakka comfort-food stuff sing. The catch is that the room and the front desk often feel like the restaurant’s weak link. Reviews repeatedly mention a dated dining room, mandatory dine-in charges, rushed ordering, payment friction, and some truly ugly service moments. The cooking is classic, crowd-pleasing Indo-Chinese rather than adventurous, with generous portions and a strong takeout identity, but consistency is uneven enough that you should go in expecting a bargain meal, not polished hospitality. For kids, the menu itself is actually workable: there are familiar chicken, fried rice, noodle, and mild vegetable options, so picky eaters won’t be stranded. But parents should also read the room carefully, because reviews about rude staff, hygiene scares, and payment hassles are not the stuff of carefree family dinners. If you want a casual Hakka meal with halal-friendly choices and booth seating, it fits; if you want a smooth sit-down experience with kids, temper expectations.
