Tangerine Asian Cuisine specializes in Hakka Chinese Food. The Hakka Chinese population in Toronto comprised of first or second generation of Chinese born in Calcutta, India. The word Hakka means 'Guest'. The Hakka Chinese are minority people who have emigrated from South China to places like India, Mauritius and Jamaica. In India, Calcutta was a primary location for Hakka Chinese to settle and further expand business opportunities such as dentistry, photography, leather tannery and Hakka chinese restaurant. Quite often our Indian customers have heard of 'Bentinck Street' and leather tanneries in Tangra, now populated with scores of Hakka Chinese restaurants.more...See more text
Went to the Mississauga branch to have dinner with my wife. We ordered mango salad, fried wanton wrap and mussels (their NEW menu) and even asked for a suggested sauce. The server and a gentleman (who apparently is the owner) approached us and chatted for awhile regarding a suggested cooking for the mussels and even suggest the dry fried recipe which he said would taste good with the garlic spicy sauce. Waited for 20 minutes and here comes the Manager asking us what we ordered.....we said the mussels. He said they ran out of mussels!!! After 20 Minutes of waiting??? Then i asked who the gentleman who chatted with us. He said he doesn't work there and comes only once a week. Gosh - who is that guy then?? NO APOLOGIES HEARD from the Owner and Manager.
I called the server and he said the guy who chatted with us is the owner!! The Manager didn't even had the guts to tell us. To top it all, we never saw the "Owner" again. He hid somewhere. They are all bunch of liars!!
What a way to treat customers. Did not have the appetite to finish the mango salad. The least that they could have done is for us not to be charge for the $12.00 mango salad and wrap.
So frustrating and we will not recommend this restaurant to our friends and colleagues.
Food was excellent - delicately flavoured, they have a lunch special for $5.99 + taxes and boy, do they load you up with stuff.... Staff was very friendly and courteous - definitely going there again!
Great work guys!
had the chilli fish lunch special - yummy to the last bite - side included Egg Hot and Sour soup - very very good
