Faley Restaurant

Came here on a Friday for lunch at around 11:45 AM, and decided to try one of their Lunch specials, which looks pretty good.
I decided to try General Tao chicken, one of their spicy dishes, and I find it pretty A-​OK. It is spicy but really good. There was just too much gravy in the food in my opinion. I wish the gravy only covered half of the plate, but it has made the chicken very soggy.
My friend got the Chilli Chicken, which I should have ordered, because I find it much better tasting than General Tao, but I guess I will try that next time I go here.
This restaurant gets pretty packed especially during lunch, so make sure you arrive around 11:30 — 11:45. Even arriving at 11:45AM, we had to wait at least half an hour for our food.
I would go back to try their Chilli Chicken next time.

Amazing Chili Chicken on steam rice combo. My favourite! You can order dry or with gravy. You can even order with gravy with no hot peppers (for those that can’t handle the hot ‘n spicy!) They give large portions and charge reasonably. About $ 8.50 per combo meal. Great place!

Still in the search for good Hakka Chinese in Toronto, came across Faley Restaurant.
Food was great! From the chicken manchurian to the Faley special fried rice
I would recommend their calamari and bombay-​style fish.

Great Hakka, great prices, massive portions. Not sad at all that I’ll be eating my leftovers for a week! The Chilli chicken (extra gravy!) and noodles were amaaaaazing.

This is one of those places that you’ll crave!
Atmosphere: Small restaurant that is well furnished and modern with it’s nods to Chinese and Indian influence. Very clean and relaxed atmosphere with Indian movies in the background.
Service: This a the second location the first being in Rexdale. and now this one. They kept in in the family as this is owned by a relative. They are quick and can adjust dishes the way you want with the staff being fluent in English and other languages.
Food: The food is Halal and serves a Chinese/​Indian Fusion. So it meets the spicy yet salty and savory cravings. The chili chicken and Manchurian chicken can be breaded, saucy, dry all equally good! If you have sweet cravings get the Ginger beef.

Craving Hakka? Try this joint, it is affordable, tasty & quantity is big. I ordered General Tao with steam rice for around ~8 $! They serve a large amount of food and its worth every penny. The General Tao chicken was so flavourful and it has a kick of spice to it. It is not however a spicy diah overall, good balance. I was craving Hakka and wanted take-​out. I saw this place and i went in the restaurent to get a general feel and i was satisfied. Clean and good service. Overall, excellent alternative to chinese and great food with good price. Try it urself and thank me later!

I can never get sick of Faleys. Amazing food, prices are reasonable and the service is the best!

Best Part: Food tastes great, and the price is good too. Hot and sour soup is awesome
Weird part: I had General Tao, and it tasted the same as Chilli chicken. I think they use the same type of sauce for a lot of their foods.

Still, I think some of the best Hakka joints in Toronto are east of Yonge St.
Add this to the growing list. You’re coming for the food and not the ambiance.
Anyone mid-​town, Danforth area that’s feenin for Hakka. this is the closest spot. I know there’s one down the street, but I haven’t been there since my first visit years ago and I wasn’t impressed. Faley, does the trick.
If you came across my review and don’t know what Hakka cuisine is. it’s Chinese pimped with spices/chili’s.
Chinese Canadian spots (a few left) it’s about the Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls…
Most Chinese restaurants serve General Tao Chicken — sweet with a lil spice.
But the norm at Hakka spots is Chili Chicken — breaded chicken w/​chili

I’ve come to this Faley location on and off since it opened and considering that other indo-​chinese fusion places in the immediate area are constantly packed, these guys are better. The place is always clean, I never have any trouble seating a group of friends plus the staff are always accommodating and friendly.
Firstly, the portion sizes are HUGE, and I’ve found that each meat dish has more volume for the same price. If you have trouble with spicy food, this might not be the best place to come to, as a brief look at the menu will show ¾ of the items have little chili symbols indicating that it’s spicy. I’ve also found that their service is very quick, roughly 5 – 10 minutes for most entrees and take out, so most likely some things are precooked/​marinated. The only issue I have is that they do charge extra for rice, it’s not much, but it’s just a different policy compared to let’s say Hakka Garden. Either way, I’ve been a very big fan of these guys even when they only had one venue in Rexdale, and I will continue to regularly visit.
Recommendations:
–Chili Chicken
–Sweet Corn and Crab Soup
–Manchurian Fish

I am giving two star because, Faley used to be better, at least the Rexdale location where I went first. The food is so so. It is family owned and operated and everyone is pretty friendly.
The good part is all their chicken dishes can be ordered not breaded and fried, but you got to it right there will it’s hot and your are hungry.
And that’s that :-).

I have taken take away couple of times but never dined in. I have waited inside for food to be ready, the ambience looks nice and quiet and clean place. The food is Halal. I have tried chicken Fried rice which were okay but I liked chicken wings most which crispy and hot. The combo with chicken fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and 4 wings for $ 7.50 is a good deal with reasonable serving for one.

Great food great service. Not a lot of variety all the foods kinda taste the same but great value for the buck. I am a regular now at least once a week for sure.
Lunch and Dinner specials are great prices and yummy, with big portions.
Chilli Chicken FTW!
