Faley Restaurant

I’m going to keep it short and simple Best food ever!!! Hands down can’t get any better! The owners are so nice as well they make sure that your satisfied!

This place has been my go to spot for Hakka. I have tried many other places in the city and none of them come close to Faley. If you want the best Chinese Hakka in town, Faley is the place to go. Great prices and huge portions.

I tried to give it a four star but i only go for the chilli chicken. But even thats hit or miss. there are some ppl at my work that faithfu to this place. Maybe i ll try something else on the menu and update the post

This is a great Hakka spot in Etobicoke. I have been going here for several months now and I have never been disappointed. The staff is friendly and they the food is great. Make sure you are hungry or bring someone to share with as the plates are fulling.
I had the General Tso chicken today which is one of my go to meals here. The other ones are the chilli chicken and the Faleys chicken special. I ordered it on white rice with gravy and I like saucy meals and as always they didn’t disappoint me. The chicken was tender and the sauce was amazing.
Note that the first time you order will be a little confusing as there are main mixing options, but asked the waiter what options they have and they will help.

Food was cold. Delivered really quickly which leads me to believe that it may be under a heat lamp. Also service needs improvement as waitress did not know if we had ordered yet. Prefer chilli chicken in Mississauga still for the price and the taste.

Their food is really awesome. I have yet to find a Hakka restaurant that can beat them. I would question the bad reviews on here.
I have never been disappointed with the food. Plenty of friends and family have gotten hooked on Faleys after trying their dishes. Huge portions and great value.
The interior of the restaurant is truly nothing special — this is totally true. I always opt for take-​out — and take out is always steaming hot. which is really nice. Don’t let the location or décor scare you. The food speaks for itself.
The staff is always friendly.
Def. a fave.

I’ve been going here for years and it never disappoints. The service is amazing and the food will leave you thinking about it for days to come. The huge portions make the best leftovers!!!

Been to a few Hakka restaurants, and I always compare to faleys. Still the best in my opinion their chilli chicken is the best!

Excellent Manchurian Fish! The chilli chicken is good too. Fast service, clean place, debit and cash for payment. No credit cards.

I’ve been coming here for 15 years and counting. What is there really to complain about? The food is ridiculously cheap, you get a large amount of food at a very fast speed! If you’re looking for upscale gourmet food, perhaps go somewhere else. But if you’re looking to fill the hunger gap at a low price AND get your moneys worth then come on down! Dry chili chicken/​beef, Special chicken, Satay chicken, Hakka chow mein, are all great choices. My favorite is their crispy beef. Really spicy, sweet, crispy. With steamed rice so not to mess with the flavour, yes please.

Well, this place is right around the corner from me and after reading the reviews, which seems to be a love it or leave it for most people, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately though I’m in the leave it category. I guess I should start by saying that my mom picked this up after we had talked about trying it and she got general Tao and some sort of noodles which she knows I like but being unfamiliar with the «wet or dry» options given, she got wet. I’m thinking the dry would have been much better but my problem is with the actual chicken pieces. Though the flavour was nice after trying 3 or so pieces, I gave up. I’m not sure if the skin was left on or if it was just all dark fatty «meat» but trust me., every piece was like that .just made up of fat. There was only a tiny bite of good meat in any of the pieces and to find it you had to cut up each piece and go searching through the soggy breaded fat. Like I said, maybe we ordered the wrong thing and I’d definitely try the dry option for anything next time but I don’t think there’ll be a next time for me.

It’s probably not even fair for me to write a review. I have yet to be wowed by a Hakka restaurant. I’ve always found Hakka food not great in Chinese cuisine and not great in Indian cuisine and maybe the two just don’t fuse. But if I compare this place to the Hakka places I’ve tried this would be at the bottom of my Hakka list.

I grew up eating with these people. I can say the restaurant is like a family to me. Staff are incredible, they are polite, generous, kind and everything more!!! Now I live up north and I come all the way to rexdale for this good! LOVE it. Is a bit small but hey it’s a gem in the stone, please open up one close to me … Love the hot and sour soup??? Yammmiiiii

One of best hakka places. Been to many Hakka place but their Crispy Beef and Bombay Chicken is the best I have had.

Several years have passed and my husband continues to enjoy this restaurant while I continue to be confused. The food sucks every time I am asked to «give them another chance»

I’m sorry, but I’m not a huge fan of this place.
I’ve eaten at many Hakka restaurants, and believe me when I say that Faley’s food is nothing special. It’s either too salty, too oily, or just too bland at times.
The place is usually packed though, which surprises me. The décor is very mediocre, and looks like your average Chinese restaurant.
Service is good though, which is what earned the two stars. There was a woman who possibly owned the restaurant who was very friendly.
Otherwise, this place is overpriced and nothing special. If you want seriously tasty and well portioned Hakka cuisine, check out Hakka No 1 at Keele/​Lawrence.

Seriously people…2 stars?
Faley’s is probably the best Hakka food I’ve ever had (though I don’t really like Hakka food). The only problem with Faley would be that it’s not gourmet Hakka food, which let’s face it, isn’t going to be any place anyways. Get your head right and understand that this place is the quintessential «work lunch». The place is a combination of fast, friendly, cheap, and good. For $ 5.25, you’re essentially getting a very good meal that is quick, dirt cheap, and comes with a smile from one of the more pleasant waitresses I’ve had around the airport.
The chili chicken (dry) is the best one around the airport. For $ 5, you’re getting a giant portion of chicken cooked with a whole blend of peppers and spices (and a bit of an onion overdose). The chicken pieces were tender little nuggets of chicken too with a giant portion of rice to go along with it. The place can actually be pretty spicy so just be careful when ordering it regular. Go for mild if you don’t think you can take it. Or if you started growing chest hair, you can opt for extra hot.
There are so many different options you can get for lunch that it would be hard to decide what to get. The servers at Faley’s are real friendly too, especially if you’re a regular. I don’t classify this as Chinese food at all. This is more like a Chinese restaurant that caters to the Indian crowd.

This place is nothing special, all these rave reviews about this being the best Hakka Chinese restaurant are BULL. The Chilli Chicken tasted bland and way too much spice. If you want real Chinese Hakka and better I would try Hakka No 1 they dont disappoint!

Faley’s is the best Hakka Chinese food I’ve ever had. «Hakka» is basically Chinese food with a strong Indian influence, yielding spicy, bold flavours. Nowhere are they more bold than in the «Chili Chicken (Dry)» with Fried Rice. It’s probably my favourite dish in the entire city of Toronto.
I give this place 4 stars because the service is hit or miss. As someone who’s been a customer for the past 10 years, I’ve had a wide range of experiences. Portions have also slowly reduced over the years. I still think that it’s a pretty good value for money though.
A lot of restaurants have opened in this same plaza advertising «hakka» chinese food (including a chain called Salt and Pepper). I’ve tried them all and none of them compare.

The best Chilli Chicken in Toronto, I rest my case!
Faley, a family owned, Hakka Chinese restaurant is a wonderful little joint that serves quick, good portioned Chinese cuisine favorites.
Lunch special is where it’s at, prices range from $ 6~8
Hot tea during the winter and cold tea during the summer! How nice…
Service is always quick and attentive, they know me as Bob, but there can be a bit of line-​up during the lunch hour rush.
The best dish is the Chilli Chicken. It comes on top of rice, this crispy full of flavor chilli chicken with stir-​fried, caramelized onions. mmmmmmmmm~
If you want to taste what I just described above, ya gotta tell em to go «DRY»
Otherwise, your dish will be swimming in the sauces.
All at the same time there is always a wicked Bollywood movie playing in the background, non-​stop! Kind of awesome if you ask me…
My other favorite is the Ginger Chicken, it comes with Ginger stir fried with chicken, with onions and green pepper. Now be generous and give yourself half sauce for this dish!
If you are around the neighbourhood, go for Faley’s! Bob out!
