  Came with a group of 20 after a hike that ended at Kennedy Station, and found this place nearby. We got in a little before 2:45 PM, and there were already a few tables occupied, but we managed to get everyone seated. There was only one person working out front, but she let us to move tables around to accommodate the group.
  
  Restaurant is clean and spacious. Washroom is clean. Decor includes large fans hanging on the wall along with some portraits.
  
  Forks and napkins are provided. Spoons, knives, and chopsticks can be requested, though they gave me a pair of disposable chopsticks rather than the re-usable ones.
  
  They have two jars of chili sauce available on the side. You should definitely try them.
  
  The menu is extensive, with a lot of different dishes to choose from.
  They also have lunch specials on weekdays from noon to 3 PM, as well as daily specials listed on the wall.
  
  Four of us decided to go with Dinner Combo for 4, which came with
  
  Choice of Spring Rolls or Hot & Sour Soup
  Garlic Shrimp
  Boneless Chili Chicken
  Manchurian Mixed Chow Mein
  Beef with Snow Peas
  Egg Fried Rice
  Ice Cream
  
  Spring rolls came up first. Usually when I get spring rolls, it's usually a small cylindrical roll. However, this one was large and rectangular, with a thin crispy skin and lots of vegetables inside.
  
  The rest of the dishes start coming in shortly. They all came in fairly large plates/bowls, suitable for 4 people. We all had a chance to try a nice portion of each dish. Chili chicken was nice and tender, drenched in flavorful chili sauce. They add spices to each dish, so the flavors were definitely interesting.
  
  One issue is water refills. Because there was only one wait-staff, refills don't come unless you ask yourself. But this is not really a problem if you don't require waiters to check up on you every few minutes to see if you're doing alright.
  
  They don't offer ice cream on the menu, but the set combo comes with two scoops of vanilla ice cream, which is a nice way to finish the meal.
  
  Would recommend this place if you're around Kennedy station and looking for some indian-style hakka chinese food.

  Well this is the last time that I will ever go to good luck!
  
  I specifically told the guy taking the order no onions! Got home and guess what? I see a bunch of onions in my order. Also there is hardly any chicken, just small cut up pieces.
  I think I will stick to lucky chinese resturant at Lawrence and Scarborough gulf club going forward.
  
  Usually when reviewing restaurants I usually go through my 4 pillars (customer service, price-portion, quality and cleanliness) however if you can't get my order correct and also give very very little chicken then there is really no point.
  
  I had the curry chicken chicken with rice.

  Been here on 2 visits now.  Kinda average but cheap place to eat if you are on a budget.
  
  Have tried the chili chicken, shrimp fried rice & Good Luck Special Fried Rice.
  
  A little bit out of our normal path, this resto is located near Kennedy and Eglinton.  2432 Eglinton Ave East.
  
  Their value of portioning to price paid is good.
  
  Service is friendly enough.
  
  Would likely make return visits if we happen to be in the area.

  Came here on a Sunday around 3pm.  The place was about 50% full.  The decor was clean but very plain.  Service was friendly and there was only one waitress so took awhile to get our drinks.  We got the dinner for four which was $39 for 5 plates of food and four spring rolls and four ice creams.  This was great value considering all the items we got were all items we were interested in trying.  We first got the spring rolls which were much bigger than springs I have gotten at other places and taste was similar.  Next we got all our entree items.  The Manchurian mixed chow mein was a good size portion and tasted good but I wouldn't consider it a chow mein because of the look and texture of the noodles.  The egg fried rice was enough for 4 of us and wasn't anything special.  The beef snow peas was small and texture of beef was chewy.  The Manchurian chili chicken had a lot of flavours and the had some spicy peppers in it but sauce was too salty.  The garlic shrimp was average and had too much batter than I would like.  Overall I enjoyed the meal as there was a good mix of different flavours, spices and textures.  Would definitely check it out again if I was in the area.

  Really nice place for lunch , they offer quick and friendly service, along with amazing food!
  
  The portion sizes are a bit small compared to other Kakka places, but they're packed with flavour.
  
  Recommend: manchurian rice and garlic shrimp.
