I'm no stranger to yueh tung's incredible food & friendly service. my mom has been eating here since she first immigrated to canada, nearly 40 years ago, and I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. every relative that visits the city or group of friends looking for a place to go out to eat and are not sure where, we take them to yueh tung. the atmosphere has changed over the years, but the food and service has remained the same; amazing quality, family style portions and leaving with bellies and hearts full. prepare to climb a flight of stairs when you enter. I assure you however, it will be 100% worth it! there are so many yummy dishes I can recommend, but here are a few of my family's go to dishes when we order: chicken chow mein, chicken in hot pot, beef with chinese broccoli, fried calamari (ask for plum sauce on the side), snow pea leaves sautéed in garlic, chicken fried rice, dry chili chicken on a sizzling hot plate (ask for gravy on the side), flat rice noodles with black bean sauce and beef. honestly, I can go on forever. the point is, yueh tung deserves all the hype it gets! I hope this is still around for another 40+ years. i've always dreamed of bringing my own family and children here, just like my mom did. thank you yueh tung, for the many years of wonderful memories and delicious food served!

Been craving Hakka for a while and bookmarked Yueh Tung after seeing their social media / daughters storytelling. Decided to bring my girl for our valentines dinner. Food was amazing. Special shoutout to Yuki for the amazing service she provided. Great experience overall. Will definitely return with friends. Thanks you and Happy Chinese New Year

This place came up on my YouTube feed. This place is the original Hakka restaurant in Toronto. Being a fan of this cuisine I had to check it out. This place does not disappoint. The chili chicken was really good. The fried rice was good, and the chicken corn soup was great! I did come back a few days later for lunch and tried the Manchurian fish. This was also really good. If you’re in the area or in the mood for good Hakka, make sure you come here.

Finally had a chance to visit this top rated hakka restaurant in Toronto driving in from Barrie. Having been a fan of hakka food and growing up in Scarborough I have had the opportunity to eat in many Hakka restaurants. We visited around 130 pm and the restaurant was already half full having only opened at 12 for lunch.Our family of 4 was extremely hungry ( 2 vegetarians). We ordered: mixed vegetable fried rice. I was a bit disappointed they dont offer a manchurian or schezuen version which is what I am used to. Nevertheless very flavourful. Shrimp pakoras...not as much shrimp and spicy. I felt like it could have used more indian flavours to be honest. Manchurian tofu my wife ordered extra spicy. She loved the flavours but said she was hoping the dish would have had a kick. Mixed vegetable and tofu was good. Fresh, crisp and the star of this dish was the bok choy. On recommendation of a friend who has eaten here many times got the manchurian chicken. One of the best manchurian chicken dishes I have had! Another recommendation was the shrimp in lobster sauce. There was a lot of sauce and I guess I was expecting more of a lobster taste which I didnt find. Our waiter Justi ( i believe is his name) was an older gentleman who you can tell enjoys his job very much. He always kept us informed as to the wait time of our food and was very engaging. We noticed this with his interaction with other patrons. He was also very funny. The restaurant was very clean and we saw a lot of people waiting for take out. Overall this was a very good experience. I might be a bit more critical of the food as I have enjoyed hakka food for over 40 years. Only reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is the spice level that wasnt there after requesting it and the shrimp pakoras taste. However still a great experience and will be back!

4.5⭐ - Everything was very high quality. Prices a bit too high for this type of food in my opinion. Otherwise I'd say this is a 5 star restaurant. Hard to find good Hakka downtown but this restaurant is legit. The crispy beef was the best I've had. The only dish we didn't really like was the sweet and sour pork.
