HAKA

I was initially drawn to Haka by its striking décor. The mural of a dragon added a unique touch, and the teal velvet furniture gave the space a sophisticated vibe. The service was attentive, which is always a plus. However, the restaurant’s attempt to cater to multiple cuisines (Chinese, Indian, Thai, and Japanese) left me feeling confused. It’s often better for a restaurant to focus on perfecting one cuisine rather than spreading itself too thin. One thing I immediately noticed was the lack of beef on the menu, which was disappointing since I was craving Chinese food and usually prefer beef over chicken in Chinese dishes. Additionally, while Haka is a halal restaurant, I was uncomfortable seeing that they serve alcohol, which feels contradictory to their halal branding. Beyond the food, I encountered some alarming cleanliness issues. One of our plates had an orange-yellow stain on it, and the sauces provided with the soup had greasy spoons with oily handles. This lack of attention to hygiene was concerning. To make matters worse, the bathroom was absolutely disgusting—the trash was overflowing, and there was feces smeared on the toilet seat, which I had to clean myself before using. This experience completely killed my appetite. For appetizers, we ordered the corn soup and samosa chaat. The samosa chaat was flavorful and saucy, but it felt like there was too much going on, making it a bit messy. The corn soup, on the other hand, was bland and lacking in corn, with an odd metallic aftertaste that made it hard to enjoy. For the main course, we tried the egg fried rice with vegetables and Hong Kong-style chicken. While the fried rice had decent flavor, it was light on both the vegetables and egg, with only peas and bean sprouts visible. The chicken dish was particularly disappointing. Although the menu promised cashews and spice, the cashews were crushed so finely they were almost undetectable, and the sauce lacked any spice or depth. Most concerning was the unpleasant metallic "warmed over flavor" in the chicken, suggesting it wasn't freshly cooked but rather reheated, which was a big letdown. Overall, Haka feels overpriced for the quality of food and the poor hygiene standards. While the ambiance is lovely, the food itself is subpar, and the cleanliness issues made for an unpleasant dining experience. You’re essentially paying for the décor rather than the quality of the food.

The restaurant is clean and well decorated, the staff was helpful & courteous! And, the Indian Chinese was amazingly good!!!

Hands down the best food around. Friendly and helpful staff. Taste of the food was amazing. Presentation as well. I am now a regular at Haka. I especially love their sushi as well, among so many other dishes.

I had a online reservation, I was told they don't have reservation online for that day, although they honored it while initially saying they don't take online reservation for sat (if you don't then update your systems). Took 45 mins to get us a seat .. the hostess who seated was really friendly ..seats needs to be cleaned better .. food was good except for the ginger lamb. A little crowded and chaotic with they way wait and reservation is handled, hope things get better in few months as they opened recently. Will definitely advise to do lunch rather then dinner
