Royal Jasmine

Dinner with friends…
First time visiting here. usual hakka place is Chilli Chicken House
While I think that is the best place for hakka Chinese in Mississauga, this place is alright too.
Very good serving size, a little pricey.
Ordered chili chicken: very good, spicy,
sweet and sour Manchurian chicken: very red, tasty, right amount of sweet
chicken chow mein: flavor not as good
thai fried rice: what is thai about them; bland-​ish; I think they had used some short-​grain rice; not cooked well.
fast service

TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE! TERRIBLE!
Here is what happened :
I called them to make a reservation for 9:30. The closing time of the restaurant is 10pm. See ATTACHED pic. The person on the phone advised me to come by 9:30 and not 10 as they take their last order then.
We got there at 9:22pm.
They rushed us into ordering. Before we sat at our table, the waitress handed us menu cards and asked us to order. Imagine this– we had NOT even sat down at a table and they were rushing us to order.
Anyway, I ordered while standing and before sitting at the table, and the server told me that all the food, (soup, apps and entrees) will be served at the same time. Upon which I told them not to serve all at the same time. Reason being that while we eat the apps and the soup, the entrees will get cold sitting there. But they were so adamant in saying that that’s how it is. And remember — I haven’t even taken a seat yet and she’s arguing with me that she will not be able to serve me hot food. It got to a point that I asked her if she wants us to leave. Then I asked her to call the manager
Then an Asian guy in a grey polo shirt came. Now I was hoping he would understand that all we want is hot food. Guess what he told me. He told me that «my kitchen staff has to leave. So who will cook my food»?. At 9:30 he is telling me that his staff will leave… Unbelievable!!!
After arguing with me, while all the tables were watching him, he said that after his cook prepares the food, he will microwave it for us. On which I said ok.
At least the food will be hot.
So then the food came out which tasted good. Can’t complain .
Then it was 10pm. And they started putting up chairs on the other tables and turned on an extremely loud vacuum. Basically wanted us to leave.
So we rushed and finished eating, asked for to-​go containers. When I went to the bathroom at 10:15, they had turned the lights off. I had to ask them to turn the bathroom light on.
I never could imagine that a restaurant could ever be so discourteous, rude, and inconsiderate. What a TERRIBLE bunch of people providing service there. It is a shame. And not to mention, they don’t card credit card. How silly is that.
DO NOT GO THERE. They are not wort giving your business to. There are many other nicer restaurants in the area.

First time to Royal Jasmine today on the recommendation of a colleague. Décor was decent which was nice. Ordered the Spicy Garlic Chicken lunch special which comes with a green salad with soy/​sesame dressing, 2 veg spring rolls and hot/​sour soup. The soup great, it had noticable coriander which was a very nice touch. The spring rolls were fresh and crispy and salad was good. The rice was slightly on the dry/​undercooked side but that is how I prefer it. The chicken was pretty spicy (compared to Hakka #1) but really good. Portions were smaller than comparable places but still enough. I’d come back.

I ordered assorted party trays for 50 people and they were all delighted! The Thai Mango Salad was a huge hit, as was the Lollipop Chicken. We devoured the Hakka Chowmein, Beef with Broccoli, Pad Thai, Mango Delight, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Fried Rice, Vegetable Rolls, Chili Chicken, Thai Red Curry, Deep Fried Tofu and steamed rice. I had some folks with dietary restrictions and they were all easily and deliciously accommodated! I will absolutely order from them again and cannot recommend them highly enough!

This is a much belated review (I could have sworn I did one before!)
I went to Royal Jasmine for the first time about 5 years ago. A friend of mine suggested that we meet up here. I tried their Hakka noodles and fell in love. To this day, I have yet to find anything comparable in the US.
Fast forward 4 years, I take a few friends of mine to Royal Jasmine… THE SAME. We went back to Royal Jasmine two days in a row and I even brought some back to the US.
I have never tried anything else but their hakka noodles but I never have felt the need to.

One of the best Hakka restaurants in Mississauga!
Always packed with customers, very lively atmosphere, quite prompt service and good food. They have a good selection of Hakka Chinese dishes, and the good part is, you can customise the taste, spicy, very-​spicy, mild… We love the Tomyam Soup, it’s really spicy but mouthwateringly delicious!
We have been there many times, and always found consistency in quality, taste and quantity. The servers are well mannered comparing to most of the Hakka restaurants, and it’s quite clean.
If you like to taste Hakka… it’s surely a place to be recommended.

I am surprised that I have been coming to this restaurant for lunch for over a year and haven’t written a review. Geez!
I like Hakka food. Since my employer relocated to a different office building, this restaurant is the closest one.
The food is good. My favourite is the spicy garlic chicken. I order it so often that the server knows what I am about to order! I also love the spicy chilli chicken. You can also order the majority of the lunch specials with beef or fish, too.
The lemon chicken was disappointing. The batter on the chicken was soggy in the lemon sauce that it peeled off on its own. I haven’t ordered that dish ever since.
Of note, the chicken is battered and deep-​fried. If you want chicken breast that isn’t batterer and fried, it costs more. The fish is also fried, but you don’t have any grilled option. If you are health-​conscious, go for the beef. It’s neither battered, nor deep-​fried.
There are also many vegetarian options. I have a vegetarian colleague who didn’t have a problem finding a dish the last time she was here.
The last time I was here, we waited a good thirty minutes for our food. It normally does not take that long.
My heart still loves Chopstick Cuisine best. Royal Jasmine is good, but it has room to improve.

Food is OK. I have definitely had better. Ordered mango salad which was green mango and sugar syrup and didn’t taste right. When I brought my concerns to the server I was asked if I felt ketchup would make it better and I would be brought ketchup.

Good food for the price. Lots of options. Will definitely visit again

Great Hakka Chinese food.
Love the General Taio chicken with veg fried rice lunch combo.
comes with soup, salad, 2 veg spring rolls also.
Food is good employees are awesome

Basically still the best Hakka place I’ve been to in terms of food quality (dinner menu) and service — never had a problem getting a table, flagging staff, payment, etc. I tend to avoid the weekends since it’s usually crazy busy and chaotic the amount of large families that reserve seating, which is not their fault tbh, so try to come earlier in the evening if you wanna avoid that mess.
Here’s an updated list of Hakka restaurants I’ve been to across the city that are still not as good as RJ: Federicks, Chili Chicken House, Super Hakka, Chung Moi, Lin Garden, China Cottage, Kim Kim, Tangerine, Wang’s Kitchen, etc. Name any Hakka place, I’ve probably been to it and it likely still doesn’t compare to Royal Jasmine.

This is the best Manchurian chicken in the GTA. I like to order it dry and extra spicy. The lunch prices are very fair and you get plenty of food. The staff is amazing they allow for changes and are always friendly. Shame this location is not in Toronto.

Pricey food
Lack of customer service
Don’t accept any credit card
Food not great. My wife ordered manchurian Tofu. It was nothing but cooked in super salty soya sauce.
We are not going again.

I came here for lunch twice and had two different experiences. Both times the food was really good. However, I have two food intolerances and told the waiter that I could not eat gluten or lactose. The first time I was there, the waiter told me I could only eat two dishes. I ordered a curry dish and was very satisfied. I didn’t experience any discomfort after my meal and everything tasted delicious.
During my second visit to this restaurant, I asked our waiter what I could eat with my two intolerances. The waiter told me I could order almost everything on the menu. This seemed odd to me. I ended up ordering another curry dish but there was one problem. About an hour into the meal I began to experience discomfort and the problems associated with eating lactose and/​or gluten.
I didn’t say anything because I was with my colleagues but I really don’t think a restaurant should be telling people they can eat certain things if they are not sure. I think the chef or the waiter didn’t fully understand what gluten was.
I wouldn’t go back to Royal Jasmine again because I felt so sick after and still had to go back to work and make it to the end of the day.
I would definitely go someplace else where they know how to prepare food without cross contamination for people with food sensitivities or intolerances. It’s unfortunate because the food was really good.

Good food, spacious and good service

There are actually quite a few Hakka restaurants in Mississauga, and this is one of the best.
ATMOSPHERE: Décor’s a bit dated, but space is large. They can accommodate large groups. Good for families. I recommend going with 4 or more people, and share different mains! There’s so much choice.
SERVICE: Okay. Though they may not check-​in on you regularly, they usually respond fairly quickly to requests.
PRICE: Reasonable. Good portions. Especially the family-​style combos/​meals! Got a minimum party of 6? Get the Family Meal! You get a soup, an appetizer (try the wings), 4 mains (from a select menu), rice, and dessert.
FOOD: So tasty! It’s true that a lot of Hakka food is spicy, but there are mild dishes (even some curries) and some completely non-​spicy dishes that are SUPER tasty. Like, the chop suey chow mein (with fried egg — order «Royal» version), and the fish with lobster sauce.
They have the best Crispy Beef (unfortunately, not a part of the Family menu).
Pad Thai is good too.
And if you need to bring down the heat a bit, order a sweet mango lassi.
Highly recommended. :)

If you like hot and spicy, this is the restaurant for you. I personally think that this restaurant is single sided. It’s like driving a car with one gear or your BBQ only able to cook on high. Some people like that, unfortunately, I am not one of them. Asian cuisine should be balance of flavours, Royal Jasmine balances only two, hot and spicy.
On one occasion, I ordered the butter chicken, it was spicy. On the second, I wanted garlic fish, it was spicy. The hot and sour soup, spicy. I was surprised that my spring rolls and salad were not spicy, because it seems like that is the only thing that they can do.
My first taste only emits spice, I can’t tell whether the garlic fish, actually has any garlic in it. I can however, tell that it is fish. I want flavourful, I want balance, neither of which I get from my experiences at Royal Jasmine. It’s like a junior cook had to sub for the masterchef, making the food technically proficient, as I can tell by the perfection that this fish is cooked in. The sauce hints at playfulness with my palette but alas, it is only a tease, as the junior cook’s interpretation of Thai is to dump more chillies and chilli flakes into the mix because, «Hey, we’re THAI!»
I’ve eaten here several times. Or rather, I should say, I have had take out here several times. On one of these occasions, I had time to spend it in the dining room waiting for my take out and I must say that the service was excellent. We were even given tea to drink, while we were waiting.
I don’t understand why this place has been around for so long. There must be a lot of people in Mississauga that like spicy foods, as this runs parallel to my mind of Wild Wing, but then again, Wild Wing knows that not everyone wants extra spicy hot sauce on everything and gives variety. Sadly, Royal Jasmine has not learned this lesson and for that, this restaurant is now dead to me.

I came for lunch during work week. This place was no where found in my radar until it was shown to me by my friends. What a find! 8.99 to 9.99 lunch and a plentiful amount of food!
Their lunch menu is loaded with delicious food. I opted to get the spicy garlic chicken and it was quite flavourful. It’s served with 2 spring rolls, salad, jasmine rice and the main spicy garlic chicken. It was enough for 1, it left me satisfied an wanting more.
The place was clean and huge! Loads of parking space. Quick service and very polite servers. I would definitely comeback here again and enjoy a good time during lunch!

Ok folks this is another Hakka Chinese restaurant. I was their with family and the place is quite nice. It is very good for big groups and families.
The food is decent and portions are good. We ordered multiple things from the menu and I don’t thing we didn’t like any dish.
The service is not bad its not too busy. The server was friendly and good in taking the order. They brought the food in a reasonable time.
Parking is not a problem as its a part of a big plaza where you can find Swiss Chalet and Kandahar Kabab.
For my fellow Muslim brother and sister. This place has a halal certification is also listed on the Zabihah site. But do your due diligence.

Pretty good Hakka Chinese food. Fairly large restaurant and seems like they have a lot of staff working during the lunch hour. Which is very good since this place is busy. Was seated promptly and asked right away if we wanted our soups to start. Which is great because of this polar vortex weather happening right now. Since this was my first time here I got what I judge most Hakka places on… Chilli chicken dry and Manchurian chicken. We got the lunch specials which was a bit pricier than other Hakka places in Mississauga but still a good value. The food presentation is great because it comes in a sort of bento box that separates all the items.
Chilli chicken dry is a good portion with large chunks of chicken, good kick of pepper, plenty of garlic and onions.
Manchurian chicken I thought was good too but we like a bit more cilantro.
Will try some pakoras other dishes next time.
