Kim Kim Indian Hakka Chinese Restaurant

Excellent food and service, Calcutta chicken is great if you like heat! Only very local delivery, and cash only

Food was really good. We normally get Hakka from fredericks or Lynn garden but wanted to try a new restaurant. We order General Tao chicken, chili chicken and masala noodles. Everything was delicious. I would definitely come back here

It’s been a while since I ate at Kim Kim. Went to visit my cousin and decided to take her here to try it since she lives not too far from it. We ordered Chilli Chicken, Singapore Noodle with chicken and shrimp, Fish Pakotas and their traditional steamed rice. They haven’t lost there touch and I will always go back for more because it’s delicious, hot, fresh and fast. I wasn’t too happy with the shrimp pakota that I ordered to go for a friend but overall, the food is great.

Spent a Sunday afternoon on Kennedy Rd. looking at blinds and furniture. This would have been a fruitless afternoon save for our stumbling upon Kim Kim Indian Hakka Chinese Restaurant. As we’re quite familiar with Lin Garden and Frederick, our Hakka bar has been set pretty high. To our pleasant surprise Kim Kim was up to the challenge. The Chili Chicken was exactly as expected and the Manchurian Fried Rice was spicier and included shrimp, a welcome addition. The portions of the two dishes were humongous for the $ 20 price tag and we happily enjoyed them for dinner again that night. We would be back if the location was closer to our home.

I went with a group from the dining group I belong to, it is certainly a new experience for me as I am not familiar with Hakka Chinese food. Essentially Hakka Chinese food is a fusion of Chinese and Indian cooking so it is like spicy Cantonese cuisine. There is a whole history of the tribes of Chinese who settled in India or vice versa… the details are not clear to me, but I will make a point of looking it up. The truth is out there… somewhere.
The dishes ordered were:
— Chicken Lollipops (spicy) X
— Hakka Noodles
— Kung Pow Chicken (really spicy)
— Mixed Vegetables
— Shrimp in Lobster Sauce X
— Dry Fried Calamari (spicy) X
— Crispy Beef (spicy) X
Most of the dishes were really good they are the ones with the X next to them on my list. Some of the group were more critical, but then again I do not have anything to compare with as a base line.
Nonetheless, the top dish for me was the Shrimp in Lobster Sauce (with rice). It is really the closest to the real thing that I’ve ever had. So good in fact that I ordered a take out order to bring home.
I am looking forward to our next Hakka food outing when ever that will be.

Family run restaurant. Lots of parking. Fast service. Spicy food. I recommend the spicy chicken ball. I think its in the appetiser section.
Portions are huuuuge! I can’t handle spicy food in general but I find their dishes had just enough spice to bring out the flavours. You can always ask for extra spicy or even ask for hot sauce on the side if you’re feeling adventurous.

Great food. Friendly service from the owners. Only thing is she kept on making sure that I wanted it the hottest they could. If I ask the first time my mind isn’t going to change.
The speed of service was quick and it didn’t effect the quality.
Recommend everyone to try!

Big quantity low quality food. Service was good though. Can be improved. Prices are good not very expensive. They are better hakka places in toronto though

There was a point in my life where my family and I ate here every week. The combination of great customer service and delicious Hakka food kept us hooked. The staff is super prompt with seating and bringing out food. They’re also good with take-​out orders which are usually ready in less than 15 minutes.
Unlike other restaurants, their spice level is pretty accurate and mild is actually mild. Some of my favourite dishes include crispy ginger beef with no gravy, chilli chicken with no gravy, beef and broccoli, chicken with black bean sauce, and deep fried banana with ice cream for dessert.

My husband and I love Hakka and after checking out the reviews we decided to try Kim Kim and have been going here frequently. What my husband loves the most is the chili chicken, this is the only place that has ever offered options (dry or with gravy, extra spicy). Their Cantonese chow main is good. Tried their hot and sour soup was delicious but really spicy. Took some time eating it but did eventually finish it. We stick to that order but looking to try other things on their menu. When we do I will update this review.

I went here recently with my parents for a late lunch. Mondays through Fridays from 11:30am to 3pm they have a lunch special where you get a choice of main course with steamed rice and hot and sour soup or 2 spring rolls or a can of pop for $ 5.75.
We started with 2 appetizers, the Thread Chicken ($ 6.99) and the Chicken Pakora ($ 8.75) and then we had 3 lunch specials ($ 5.75 each): Chili Chicken, Satay Beef and Manchurian Beef. I got the hot and sour soup, my dad got the spring rolls and my mom got a can of ginger ale.
The hot and sour soup was ok. It was spicier than at most places. It was full of mushrooms, egg and tofu. They also had carrots, peas and corn in it. No bamboo and it was less gelatinous than at some places. My dad said the spring rolls were not that great. They were vegetarian and didn’t have much filling in them.
The Thread Chicken was the highlight of the meal for me. It’s pieces of spicy chicken surrounded by pieces of noodles and then deep fried. It’s crunchy on the outside and then soft and spicy on the inside. Totally awesome. You get 5 pieces and they are the size of chicken fingers that you get in the frozen department of supermarkets (but infinitely tastier than those chicken fingers).
The Chicken Pakora were too salty and oily in my opinion. They are pieces of chicken and onions dipped in chickpea batter and then deep fried. You get 12 pieces, each the size of a golf ball. They were crispy on the outside and the chicken was a little chewy. They were not my favourite, but my parents really enjoyed them.
I got the Chili Chicken dry (without gravy). This was the best of the lunch specials that we tried. The chicken is lightly breaded and then fried in a chili sauce with onions. I got it medium spicy and it was perfect. The chicken was moist and juicy and bursting with chili goodness.
My dad’s Satay Beef was ok. It was stir-​fried with carrots, onions, pineapple, and green peppers. The beef was tender and there was a good amount of it. However, I didn’t feel that this dish was anything special.
My mom’s Manchurian Beef was probably my least favourite. It was beef in this black gravy. It looked really unappetizing. The taste was a bit unusual, not necessarily bad, but hard to describe.
We had lots of leftovers, enough for dinner for the 3 of us. The portions are huge and the prices awesome (especially if you just get the lunch special and no appetizers).
It’s in a strip mall with lots of parking. Washrooms are clean, as is the dining area. Service is nice and competent. I would come back!

Initially we were heading to another place to get our grub on… but imagine our surprise when we pulled up to the other restaurant and they were closed! No worries — Unilocal to the rescue! It took us here and we weren’t disappointed.
This place is’t as nice inside as Fed’s, but its clean and actually bigger than we thought from the outside.
The servers were really nice and made some suggestions. We had the chicken pakoras (I liked Fed’s better as I found them crispier and these ones oilier); tandoori fish (dry) which comes with a big bowl of rice (my fave meal here so far) and the crispy dry green beans. These are drier than Fed’s but I didn’t mine them. It’s in your preference.
Definitely going to come back and try some different dishes and of course get my fish!
We had so much left over as the portions are a good size. For 2 people including drinks, tax and tip the bill was $ 40

I wrote a review years ago and since then I’ve been many many times and its still great.
I’ve made huge orders for family get together and orders just for two and have never been disappointed. I think i’ve had about 60% of the menu at this point and its still my favorite hakka place.

Great food, lots of choices, reasonably priced! I’ve had take out from here twice, and everything I’ve gotten was fantastic! Surprisingly, my least favorite was the hot and sour soup. The Calcutta chicken and Calcutta fish is great! Food was ready in a jiffy, and service was friendly!

Went for a friend’s birthday and it took a while to get food but there were about 12 people. The food was great and not too spicy. HUGE menu and great prices.

It was our first Hakka and we had a great experience. Cannot compare to other Hakka places, but we frequently go to Indian and various Chinese restaurants and we were not disoriented by the menu.
Everything we had was excellent. Our kids (3,5 and 7), who have a good tolerance to spicy food, loved their meal too.
We started with hot and sour soups and very good chicken pakoras. Followed with chili crispy beef (loved it!), bok choys and Hakka chow mein (which had less character than the other items but was still good).
Friendly and helpful service. All in all, we had an excellent experience and definitely recommend this place.

This is quickly becoming an excuse to travel out to Kennedy.
Been here quite a few times over the last year and have enjoyed many a dish here.
Can’t say exactly which is my favorite yet
But i bet the Hunan Chicken ranks up there.
Only wish it was a lot closer so i could come by more often
Definitely recommend this place

–Big interior
–Friendly staff,
–Superior chili chicken
–Excellent chinken pakoras
–Web coupons from time to time
A very good Hakka restaurant, if you find yourself in Scarborough for reasons unknown, it is worth stepping in and ordering some delicious food, youcannot go wrong.

I HAD to try this place out being that I was in the area over Mother’s Day weekend, I had to see what all the rave was about. After all, I LOVE Hakka and have had my fair share of it around the GTA, why not add this one to the list too right?
Ordered the chili chicken lunch special (we asked for hot and sour soup being one of the choices that come with the lunch specials, the other two choices are either pop or an egg roll) and one Hakka beef noodle dish from their regular menu.
Our first request (& we do this every time we go to any hakka restaurant is ask them to make any of the dishes we order spicy) to have the beef hakka noodles spicy was confusingly denied by the waitress claiming «no, sorry they can’t do that» When the noodle dish was brought out, I was looking at it, and in my head thinking, OK, I know what spaghetti looks and tastes like, and I bet you anything that this «noodle» dish is spaghetti. I tried it, yup, spaghetti. To our disappointment, we asked the waitress if it was spaghetti, we mentioned that we didn’t like the taste of it either (which we really didn’t as it was overly salty, very bland and barely had any beef in it whatsoever) and then asked if we could get another dish of our choice.
& the plot thickens…
The waitress took the noodle dish and had to ask the cooks to see what they could do, and then brought the same dish back out, pointing at it and claiming «that this is what we serve here, and you ate so much of it, I don’t know what we can do» O. o Before getting into any further debate of why Hakka noodles are different from spaghetti, the waitress took the dish and took our, for the Singapore rice shrimp and chicken noodle Hakka dish instead. When that was brought out, it just tasted soooo SALTY! Again, not much chicken or shrimp in it either.
The chili chicken and soup? Salty. *sigh* such a disappointment.

The ten percent off check-​in offer is legit!
Think of it as a fusion of Chinese and Indian cuisine. A great place to try if you’re looking for a slightly different taste.
The fish is excellent here. Mild spice is actually quite mild, so if you want to taste some spice go for medium
The Pakoras are great and.
I didn’t like the Lollipop Chicken that much. Just not my thing.
The noodles we tried were ok, but certainly were not a highlight.
I will gladly return.
