Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Be aware that at the Ajax location, a 15% tip amount is being automatically added to your bill when making payment with your card and if you don't catch it in time, you will end up paying a tip even if you didn't have or...want to, e.g., when picking up instead of dining in. Normally, in other places, a customer would have a choice of whether to add a tip. So be cautioned!More

My family likes to get take out from Hakka Legend once a month. We always like to try at least one new dish each time, but the chicken Pad Thai and Hakka noodles are always the favourites. The food is hot and ready at or...before the pick up time, and we have never had any order mix-ups.More

I visited Hakka Legend for lunch after recently receiving a recommendation to try it and a craving for Pad Thai! The decor was appropriately Asian themed but not overwhelming. It was virtually empty for my visit which was surprising because their lunch special prices are...fantastic! $7.95 for a spring roll or soup and choice of main from a large selection! I started with an app, the Chicken Pakora , which I planned to sample and bring home for my son for dinner; it looked great on the menu and was equally great in taste! The spices they used for it had a pleasant aroma almost sweet yet the app itself was actually more on the spicy spectrum. My main course was of course Pad Thai and it was great! Not dry like I’ve been noticing at a lot of other places I’ve been to lately, saucy and flavourful. My spring roll was as great. Can’t put my finger on why I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I usually enjoy spring rolls. Service was quick and pleasant. They only take debit or cash for orders under $25 and I almost took a mark off my review for this because I tried to pay with credit initially. I didn’t though because on my way out I made sure to look and they do in fact have clearly posted their minimum purchase requirement to use credit on their door on the way in.More

The food was good and the portions were huge. The service was friendly and helpful. Seemed like a very popular place that has branches all over. Would certainly want to check out their other locations.

I originally tried when they first opened and then gave it a second try thereafter. A fresh and clean place with plenty of seating. North Ajax location. Food quality, taste and portion size are average. Nothing striking but no significant con's either.

We a friend out for lunch - he was looking for Hakka food and since I've had very good meals here before, it was a logical choice. The obvious choices were the chili chicken (dry) and chicken Hakka noodles. These are my favourite Hakka (mixture...of Indian and Chinese influences that originate from Calcutta) dishes and both were excellent. The chicken was crispy on the outside and very tender inside. It was delicious as was the chicken Hakka noodles. Both servings were very generous in size and I was surprised we could finish it. We also tried the Pad Thai chicken and the red chicken coconut curry, which were good, but nothing like the Hakka choices. The restaurant is clean and modern in appearance. Service was excellent. We will be back for more Hakka dishes.More

The Restaurant was very clean and a great assortment of food with different levels of heat/spice/curry where one can choose their personal level of comfort. The Mango Chicken and Shanghai Noodle dish were very tasty and good but the lemon chicken could have been passed,...small pieces of chicken with thick breading.More

Went there with a friend last week. She ordered the Ginger Beef and I had the Schezwan Chicken. It was very good. Great prices for the value.

Wasn't aware this was a popular chain in Scarborough until we saw them open near our home. Sampled a few of the dishes but have to say we love the Honey Garlic Chicken. The chick is real chicken (I've come across a few bones in...my meals but actually happy about that). Place is generally busy, can accommodate pick up orders in 20 minutes or so.More

Great little place for Hakka food. Service is excellent and prompt. Food tastes good and value for money is also very good. Good selection and they can increase the level of spice if you request it. Food is prepared fast as well.

Today was my first visit to Hakka Legend. We all like Hakka food and decided to see what they had to offer. I ordered our usual dishes (dry chilli chicken, dry chilli tiger prawns, shrimp fried rice, vegetable Hakka noodles, chicken hot and sour soup...and chicken corn soup). All were very good to excellent. Everything was perfectly flavoured and steaming hot when I picked it up. Serving sizes were good. It looks like there is enough food left over for tomorrow's dinner. . The only complaint I had was that we didn't get any green chillies with our food. The restaurant looked very clean and nicely decorated. We will have to dine in some time.More

Love their bombay chicken and Manchurian fried rice. Their food always taste fresh. I have tried their veggie balls too and they are delicious as well.

If you like Hakka style Chinese food, then you should visit Hakka Legend. So far I went four times in last two months, we introduced couple of our friends, and they simply loved that place. Nice décor; very good customer service. Hot and sour along...with chicken corn soup, both are good. I love Chicken Pakora, very good, not too spicy but its perfect. Chilli Chicken, Chicken 88, Chilli Beef, chicken fried rice are few from menu, which everyone should try. Their fried banana with ice cream is also awesome.More
