My second visit here & I will go back. It falls just a hair short of a very good rating for me. The bias is more Chinese than Indian, even with the overtly Indian dishes. I'm guessing that the quicker wok cooking process doesn't allow for the flavour to develop as it might with traditional Indian techniques. It feels like the spices are still a little more "powdery", rather than being fully absorbed into the food or the sauce. However, it's still good food. The people here are really nice & the service experience is good. I thought the pricing was on the high side until I realized that the portion sizes gave me enough food for dinner the next day. I ordered an entrée, a fried rice dish & an appetiser. Even the mixed pakora appetiser was a meal in itself. It's not a bad little place inside but it is small & there is a lot of takeout traffic so it isn't the best place if you're looking for date night ambience, nor would it be ideal for a meeting. I went for takeout this time & was served a cup of tea while waiting. I thought that was pretty cool & I will be back. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something a little different. Pity there isn't a "good" rating between the average & very good buttons because this is a good little place for food & service.

Imagine my surprise to find this awesome hole in the wall at 5212 Kingsway in Burnaby! I am a frequent diner of Hakka, from Toronto, Scarborough, Mississauga etc. To get a true taste, I am kicking myself that I did not have the Chili Chicken with gravy (a very good indicator of their abilities)...but was wooed in to Chili Garlic Chicken Dumplings... and felt the lure of noodles - Chicken Hakka Chow Mein. Spice level three, which prompted a raised eyebrow from my young waitress. I said for real. Spicy please. And it was. The dumplings were the highlight - tender minced chicken with green onion/chives and loads of chili sauce. The chowmein was huge, delicate veggies throughout - I should have tried the crispy noodle and chicken, but it was a game time decision, and it was fantastic. Cheap too. Under $18 for my meal with tea. Fantastic find, and I hope to find myself back near Metrotown again, soon!

Was expecting good things with the other reviews, it was bland, made us feel unwell, we couldn't believe how gooey and tasteless it was. The chilli chicken wasn't too chilli, the ginger beef wasn't in any way crisp, the Szechuan chicken was bland. All dishes were Rice was ok at best. All four of us were shocked how poor it was considering all the positive reviews. I've had Hakka all over the world, this place doesn't taste good at all. We won't return.

Being from Kamloops the Chinese food is tepid at best so it is always a stop for in the lower mainland. Indian wok did not disappoint. We chose threee dishes but our server said that they did not really go together so she recommended three dishes and two for my gluten intolerant daughter. Absolutely delicious! Food was hot and very fresh and tasty. A must stop in Burnaby!

They have many different fusion items. I really liked the Szechuan Beef, Chicken Hakka Noodles. The black bean chicken was average. The cream corn soup was ok. Ill try more items next time.
