Hakka Grill is Montreal's 1st Halal Hakka Chinese Restaurant, where tantalizing flavors await! Enjoy their renowned Haka Burgers and savor the fusion of Chinese and Middle Eastern cuisines with their signature Doner and BBQ Platters.
Reviews describe Hakka Grill as a popular, cozy halal Asian restaurant in Montreal with fast, attentive service and a friendly vibe. Dishes such as Mongolian beef, chili chicken, dynamite shrimp, General Tso chicken, and chicken chow mein are praised for bold flavors, generous portions, and fresh ingredients, with many noting the halal option. The atmosphere is often described as welcoming and family friendly, though a few visits have felt crowded or slightly chaotic during peak times and seating can be uncomfortable. The staff are frequently commended for helpful service and accommodating dietary needs, and private seating is sometimes available for groups and celebrations. Some reviews express drawbacks, mentioning inconsistent taste, overly sweet sauces, or value concerns, but overall the sentiment leans very positive with many saying they would return and recommend the place. Overall, the consensus points to a strong halal Chinese or Indo-Chinese fusion option with standout items such as dynamite shrimp and Mongolian beef.
The restaurant leans heavily on being halal but doesn't have much else going for it. Asian, Indian or maybe... Burgers? They need to focus on one cuisine & perfect it. The food was greasy, the kitchen smoke smell kept drifting into the dining room, & a dried ice gimmick ended up exploding across the table. Chairs were uncomfortable for a sit-down meal.
Also worth knowing: a 15% gratuity is automatically added for groups of 6+, disclosed only via a wall.
Overall, feels like a place coasting on a niche rather than delivering a real dining experience
Went to Hakkaki Grill on Saint Laurent & I actually loved it.
Food was amazing, like you can tell they put real care into each dish. The corn soup was unreal. Everything tasted different in a good way, not just the same flavor everywhere.
Place is clean, staff are nice, & the lighting is perfect, bright but still cozy.
They hadn't labeled everything yet, but honestly didn't matter. Every single item hit. Would go back for sure.

Très grosse déception.
La nourriture était vraiment mauvaise. La viande avait une texture étrange, presque spongieuse - honnêtement, ça ne ressemblait même pas à de la vraie viande. Aucun goût agréable, vraiment difficile à manger. & ce n'est pas une question de préférence personnelle : nous étions 4 personnes à commander exactement le même plat, & aucune d'entre nous ne l'a aimé.
Même les boissons n'étaient pas bonnes, ce qui n'aide vraiment pas l'expérience.
Mais le pire reste le service. Quand on a expliqué calmement qu'on n'aimait pas nos plats, le serveur nous a littéralement répondu :
« Mais vous voulez qu'on fasse quoi ? »
On lui a suggéré de trouver une solution (changer les plats, proposer autre chose), surtout que personne à table n'était satisfaite, mais il est simplement parti pour revenir dire que comme on avait déjà goûté, ils ne pouvaient rien faire.
Désolée, mais comment est-ce qu'on est censés savoir si on aime un plat sans y goûter ?
Aucune compréhension, aucun effort pour régler la situation, aucun geste commercial.
Très mauvaise expérience du début à la fin. Je ne recommande pas du tout.
'I absolutely loved my visit to this restaurant! The food was incredible-each dish was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, & beautifully presented. As a student, I often don't get a chance to eat out like this, but this place was worth every penny. Highly recommended!'
I love this place - it's cozy & very clean. I went for the iftar buffet, & yesterday was my second visit i ordered ala carte & really enjoy their food, especially the Mongolian beef & chili chicken.
Excellent food & very excellent experience with amazing service. Would definitely recommend to anyone, also the food is Halal. Owner is a great guy, always there
I ordered take away for family Eid dinner for 40 people. Food was delicious & everyone was excited to take leftovers with them.
Something different then the normal biryani.
Thank you Hakka Grill
