Bao Shin Hakka

After being loyal customers for over 20 years, we are shocked and disgusted by how far Bao Shin has fallen. We ordered our usual chicken pakora, and what we received was an absolute health hazard. The batter tasted old, stale, and spoiled, like it had been sitting around for days on the counter. It was greasy, rubbery, and completely unfit for consumption. This isn’t just about bad food — this is a serious food safety concern. When we called to report the issue, expecting a basic apology or replacement, Wendy offered a pathetic $5 credit. No accountability. No apology. No offer to remake it. After two decades of supporting this restaurant, that was their idea of “customer service”? Unacceptable. We’re not letting this go. We’ll be reporting this to Health Canada — because if this is what they’re comfortable serving, who knows what else is happening behind the scenes. This goes beyond disappointment — it’s negligence. We will not be returning. If you care about your health or your money, stay far away from Bao Shin. They clearly don’t care about their food, their customers, or basic hygiene standards anymore.

We ordered last weekend fried rice and Hakka noodles n beef chilli After eating this all 4 of us at home we're commiting n diarrhea. We have eaten always from this place but of late the quality is definitely not the best n we order seldom This weekend was horrible with 4 of us out of order eating this food Reminder the sauces given smell awfully especially the red one. Waste of $$$

A friend told me about this place so thought I’d give this a shot. Given that I’ve eaten at numerous Hakka places across the GTA, the food here was great. We ordered the beef chow mein and the chilli chicken and both items tasted delicious. The flavours were all there. Also, you definitely get a bang for your buck as the portions are pretty big. Overall, I highly recommend trying this gem and will definitely be coming back to try other things on their menu!!

We have been eating food from this restaurant for more than 15 yrs. We took out food tonight and were very excited to eat what we always loved to eat from here. This time we were really disappointed in the quality of the food. The standard of cooking has dropped tremendously from it used to be. It is requested that effort should be made to improve the cooking standard to avoid losing customers.

Tried this place based on decent reviews and was craving Manchurian chicken. I wasn’t expecting the dish I got which is their version on Manchurian chicken (red, slightly spicy and kind of sweet). I’m used to the darker, spicier, and hints of ginger and cilanto/coriander which this didn’t have, suffice to say it didn’t satisfy my craving, hence the 3* … but it still tasted good, so not completely disappointed. I may return, but only if I want a potential “surprise” version, and not craving the “usual”.

Great experience. I thought first that it's a dine-in Restaurant, but it was only take out. Anyway I went their and talked to owner who was a really nice lady. She told me they only do take-out now. They used to have sitting restaurant at Dundas and Hurontario but it was burnt down few years ago. We ordered ginger chicken, chili chicken, Manchurian chicken, Hotnsour soup, Hakka Chowmein and Fried rice. Taste was really good, the spice level is typical Schiuan style so It was really good Portion was good enough to enjoy Overall great experience Note: All meat Zabihah Halal from Seargent Farm

Fish is over priced. I paid $18.99 and I can't even put in a dish...portion is so small. I dont think I'm going back again Fried Fish for $18.99 is outrageous!!! It should have been $9.99. This type of price hike especially in times of economic hardships , it's just not good.

I ordered 3 items: Chilli chicken, Beef Shanghai noodles and Chicken chow mein. They were all so delicious! I loved the variety and the taste. I would highly recommend this place!

I absolutely love this place. My boyfriend and I are both addicted to their bold, spicy flavors and they have quickly become our top choice for takeout. Tucked away in a plaza with a kfc, I would truly consider this a hidden gem. We have never gone wrong with ordering their chili chicken with extra gravy. It's saucy and hot and just punches the mouth with flavor. It can come in a combo with fried rice, but I highly recommend getting the chicken masala fried rice for an elevated experience. The manchurian beef is also a reliable choice. Finally, my favorite treat is the chili fried fish. The fillets are crispy on the outside, and so tender on the inside. The seasoning on the fish is just perfect. The prices are a bit high for takeout, but the portions are massive. We always have leftovers. Online ordering is also available - great for those afraid to call!

The BEST HAKKA food in Mississauga (and Halal)! In fact, this place sells the best Hakka food I've ever had in my life (and I've tried quite a bit over the years, including all the popular places). We ordered the Special Fried Chicken, Chilli Chicken (with gravy), Sweet & Sour Chicken, Manchurian Beef, as well as mixed Chow Mein and mixed Fried Rice. Wow! The food is moist, the chicken and beef pieces are tender, juicy, and flavourful. The rice and noodles were excellent. Portion sizes are huge and they don't skimp on meat or seasoning at all! What makes the flavour special is that it tastes much more AUTHENTIC and less commercial than other Hakka places. I could taste the East Asian influences and it was SPECTACULAR! This is my new favourite Hakka place. I'm going here ALL THE TIME now! 5 out of 5 stars!

Portion sizes were amazing. Food was delicious. I'm happy and satisfied! One nice thing is that the batter on the the meat doesn't make up the majority of the meat. When you order meat, you actually get plenty of it! Everything was also fresh. It tasted like it was cooked on the spot. Nothing was sitting out. The star of the show for me was the Special Fried Chicken. This is a succulent finger-licking-good fried chicken. I would go back just to order it again. Definitely a go-to now!

this has been me and my families go-to chinese hakka place for 6+ years. the portions are huge, quick service, and the food is delicious. maybe its because we are such loyal customers, but the owner always slides in a free discount the favourite at our house is the kung pao chicken gravy. other must-trys are the chilli chicken, ginger chicken and chicken manchurian

Wow! We are pleasantly surprised. We had walked into Bao Shin before to get takeout and we were essentially ignored for 10 minutes before we walked out. Suffice to say, I had some feelings about the place. Tonight we decided to give it a second chance. Man, the food is actually good. Now, our local Hakka is our go to. But they are closed due to Covid. Bao Shin will be our go to until they open back up. We ordered 2 individuals meals, plus noodles and veg spring rolls. Absolutely massive portions and it arrived piping hot! We still have food for a few more meals. Their chili chicken is pretty good. And the masala fried rice also tasty. You could taste the raw curry powder a little too much, but still tasted good. Food is typically salty as is normal with Hakka. I will be chugging water all night. We will order from here again!

Bad-shin is one of the oldest Hakka (and halal) place in Mississauga. Despite being popular, unfortunately, the food quality hasn't been improving. The oils, ingredients such as frozen vegetables, and serving size have decreased over the years. Wendy (the owner) always picks up the phone but is also turns down requests such as an extra plate or split the food into two portions. Improving food quality and better customer service is missing from this longstanding Hakka place.

We wanted something really fast to eat as we were hungry. Ordered the chilli fish and hot and sour soup. We were there one minute past the 3pm lunch time and she refused to let me get the special price. Had to pay the extra cost for this. They must have put a whole bowl of chilli in the dish as it was soooo hot that we could not eat it. The soup was so so. Nothing to write home about. Just a few pieces of shrimps and some bean sprouts for 7 bucks. Small portion soup - felt cheated. Sat down to eat on one of the two tables. Looks like they needed to clean the tables and floor Not impressed at all. Won't go back as there are better Hakka places sprouting all over Mississauga and in the GTA. I'm Hakka so I've been fed intravenously on this food for the past 50 plus years. So NOPE. I'm not going back.

I ordered chilly beef and I got 90% rice, 9% onions and 1% beef. So disappointing. I ordered the beef for the beef, not the rice.

They maintained their quality it's comforting to order every time and get the same quality

Omg they back in action. They have moved to kfc plaza at wolfdale and burnamthrope. Bruh so happy

Finally gave this hidden gem a try! If you're craving tasty Halal Hakka style food, head to Bao Shin Restaurant - their proportions are huge for fair prices. I tried out their chicken fried rice and spicy kung pao chicken mixed with steamed veggies, peanuts, and chili peppers

This is our second visit and our first Yelp review. This visit, we ordered Tofu Ma Po, which is a dish of stir-fried soft tofu in a spicy black bean sauce. It was delicious! Exactly as described. The tofu was soft not mushy (I had been expecting crispy tofu so was pleasantly surprised when it wasn't) and the flavour made this dish the star of our meal. We also ordered Manchurian Vegetables, which are veggie pakoras in a spicy sauce. We think the sauce might have changed from our last time visit (*sniff*). This dish was the main reason I had wanted to come back. Once I got over my disappointment (LOL), I still ate a lot of it. The dish was still good, and the sauce this time had more of sweet and sour flavour than a Manchurian flavour. To complement the two dishes, we ordered a veggie fried rice and was shocked by the generous portion. With a mix of fresh and frozen veggies, the rice was properly cooked and was tasty on its own. Overall, three dishes was plenty of food for three people. We took home two meals in leftovers, and overall, enjoyed good food at good prices... we'll be back when in the area!

If you want feel taste fresh don't buy the lunch special. The place need to be clean more.

Delicious hakka food, and the price is very cheap! I decided to dine in with a friend (during the evening) a while back and we were shocked by the enormous serving size - one dish was enough for two people!! What I found the most remarkable was the amount of chicken in our dishes. Moreover, the lady at the cash was soft spoken but very kind. I don't eat Hakka regularly, but to me, it seemed that there was no compromise on quality, while maintaining a very good price! They do have a very nice variety of dishes but try to catch a special if you can. A word of warning, the plaza where Bao Shin is located has limited parking spots, so try to avoid this area during weekend nights.

I've been coming here since 2004 when I lived closer to this location and honestly I still come here for their chicken soup, manchurian chicken and fried rice. Hands down Bao Shin nailed the Hakka cuisine for an affordable price and good quantity. I do wish they had more space since it can tend to get busy and barely room to sit.

Best Chinese food in Mississauga for takeout. I ordered chicken corn soup, Hakka fried rice, chicken nodules, and chicken, fish and fried prawn curries, and everything was tasty and well cooked. Quantities were sufficient for 4 or more person. Cashier was very efficient and friendly. I was able to pick up exactly at the given time. Restaurant was taking adequate precautions in terms of ongoing Covid19 issue. Overall good value for the money.

The Shrimp Pakoras are plain amazing. Would definitely recommend those! We also ordered a manchurian chicken but it did not taste like it should be. It tasted more on the sour side... Would only get the pakoras next time.

Great takeout place for Hakka food in Mississauga. I got the special Combination for One (Masala Fried Rice with Chilli Chicken) well worth the price! Portions are very generous, spicy and delish!

I love Bao Shin. Of all the Hakka Restaurants in Mississauga, this will always be my favourite. Nothing can compare. I used them for my wedding. The portions are huge. The price is great. Most would be turned off by the location and brutal decor, but the food is phenomenal.

Good hakka Chinese food and generous quantity compared to prices. Overall a good experience and taste .

Indian Hakka Chinese restaurant. Small and neat interior. The food is decent fit their price. I'd recommend their Manchurian dishes

Every item is tastful. Try chicken chilli. Manchurian. Shrimp fried rice. Soups. You will love it.

This is the worst Hakka chinese restaurant period. The service is bad, the female server with short hair is very rude. Hair in the chilly chicken and she won't even apologize. Never going back ever.

Amazing quantity and quality for a very reasonable price. Authentic hakka cuisine. Been going there for a hakka fix since 2005 and haven't had a single bad experience. Owners are a husband and wife team that excel in cuisine and service. Be prepared to wait for a table if you visit on a weekend. The place is generally packed in the evening.

I used to like this place... not anymore. Their standard has gone down considerably. The fried rice was a sticky mess the chilly chicken was runny and full of sinews. Will not recommend or go there any more

Yum! They're chicken corn soup is so great. Some of the best I've ever had. Also the Chinese rice was superb. The only reason I gave it a 4/5 was because the take out was a little messy and disorganized.

iam a big big fan of bao shin. if u havent tried plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz go and try the manchurian,chilli chiken, beef with chilli...a long list.... atleast give a one try it will meet ur standard if ur not a big fan of lin garden type of all orange food, irrespective of the decor and seating arrangement ,well mostly these kind of restaurant have a same standard not on the very top but still u can enjoy ... i need baoshin food atleast once a month ....they r sooo yummy .. they also have a combo plate which give u rice also in 9-10 ,and they enough in quantity u can enjoy...
