I was totally disappointed with Danforth Dragon. I live nearby and figured I had to try it since I'd never had Hakka. But it reminded me of the bad Chinese take-out of my youth - trust me, egg rolls still don't taste good even if they are free!
Just my own opinions of course, but I expected more complexity of flavour from the Hakka dishes. The chicken cilantro soup for exampe is just a very bland corn-starchy chicken soup with some cilantro in it. I ended up adding a bunch of salsa verde which is how I doctor canned soup. Other dishes are similar, bland boring sweet or greasy old school Canadian Chinese with something added to make it slightly different but still not good.
