HakkaChow - Asian Eats

I’ve been a regular at Hakka Chow for the past three years, and it continues to be one of my favorite places to eat in Winston-Salem. The food, atmosphere, and service are consistently excellent every single time. The dishes are not only very tasty but also feel light and comfortable on the stomach, which I really appreciate. My absolute favorite is the Hakka Chow Fried Rice - I order it almost every visit and it never disappoints. Their noodles are delicious, full of flavor and perfectly cooked. And the crab wontons are so yummy - crispy on the outside and just amazing. Overall, I just love this place. It’s reliable, flavorful, and always a great dining experience. Highly recommend!

I loved the fried tofu in the vermicelli noodle bowl. Everything else was just okay, not very memorable. Our server was nice and made sure to notate my shellfish and peanut allergies. While I understand and appreciate the ease of the portable payment devices, I did feel a little pressured to give more of a tip with the server standing there watching.

First visit at HakkaChow, it did not disappoint! The Hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable of the food at HakkaChow! Waitress gave us some recommendations! Our appetizer was amazing Korean Barbecue Sparerib was so delicious and fell weight off the bone! Sushi was fresh and so good! We will be back again!

Great little gem of a restaurant. Everything we (my wife and I) ordered was delicious. Their twist on the classics (think crab rangoon) is refreshing. Would absolutely go back and explore more menu items.

HakkaChow was easily the lowest point of our visit to Winston Salem. We arrived with empty stomachs and left having had some of the poorest quality food that we’ve had. We got the Kimchi cheese fries, which were a decent appetiser, albeit quite one-dimensional. For main course, we got the Panko crusted peanut butter chicken—this was quite abysmal—one bite and we knew the chicken was either stale or not cooked properly, and the Chicken Lo Mein noodles, which had the chicken so chewy/gummy that we couldn’t eat it after a few bites. The kicker was the limeade drink which we ordered. They served it with alcohol despite having asked for the without alcohol option. They looked apologetic but it was already too late. The service was prompt, and that was the only saving grace. In a nutshell, this just seemed to a hastily put version of whitewashed Asian food restaurant. Parking is available outside. I won’t recommend visiting here if you’re looking for good Asian cuisine.

If you’re looking to enjoy a cozy ambience with delicious food, Hakka Chao is the place to be. The staff was super nice. The food was good and the place gives off very upscale vibes. I ordered the Singapore noodles which tasted good though I expected them to be spicier and more flavorful. The mango strawberry limeade was refreshing and my friends really liked their chicken meals. The garden sushi roll plate was yummy too. The restaurant is conveniently located and not too crowded even if you don’t have an online reservation. We waited only about 15 minutes before our table was ready. Although there are limited vegetarian options, it is definitely worth a try!

Recently had dinner here with my significant other last weekend and we really enjoyed our experience. We have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally had time to check it out. The staff was very friendly and attentive. Our server was training and a bit nervous but overall did a great job. My boyfriend had the orange chicken and I had the spicy garlic shrimp. I rarely like to eat out anymore because of the quality of the food. The garlic shrimp has been one of the best meals I’ve had to eat a restaurant recently but if you do like spicy food you may want to request for extra spice due to the meal being adjusted to fit the average persons tolerance. Both of our entrees were very flavorful and had fresh ingredients. The drinks were also good. I highly recommend the Tokyo ice tea.

Ate at bar cause tables had 30min wait. Sushi good, hot food good. We had peanut chicken-sauce was AMAZING! And sushi tower- perfect blend of sushi and fun!

Sometimes when people hype up a restaurant so much you almost dread trying it out for fear that it won't live up to the hype, not this time! HakkaChow is one of the best restaurants I've been to. The food is PHENOMENAL, extremely well priced, huge portions, and great service! Albeit unassuming from the exterior, step inside and you'll find some of the best Asian food this side of the Mississippi being served up. You'll definitely want to make a reservation here. But don't stress about the parking! One of my favorite perks is that it has its own lot. I was also impressed with the owner being present and walking around all night. It truly makes all the difference! It was hard to make a selection as the whole menu looks divine! We ordered Kimchi fries, Eggrolls, and garlic naan to start. For mains, Mongolian Beef, Shrimp and Chicken Pad Thai, and General Tso's. All fabulous! Everything was fresh and tasty. I'm already planning my next visit - I've got to try one of those sushi rolls! Hightail it to HakkaChow right HakkaNow!

Arrived for a rather early dinner, seems like a pattern for me these days. Anyways we were seated rather quickly and our waiter came over and took our drink orders. He was friendly and had a sense of humor which made the visit more fun for me. When he asked if we were ready to order I told him almost, and that he should come back in 3 minutes and 37 seconds and I would be ready. I'm insufferable and I timed him and he made it back in about 3 minutes and 45 seconds. His tip increased at this moment. We got the steered dumplings and some sushi to start. At this point I had realized that I've only ever gotten sushi here, and even though it's always been super fresh and tasted great, I wanted to give their normal entrees a try. I ordered a spicy Korean chicken rice bowl for a change. Wow am I glad I did. The chicken was so crispy but still cooked perfectly and juicy. The sauce was the percent level of spicy to coat the chicken and the rice. The dumplings were also a good temperature and seasoned well. I've never had a bad experience here. The people running this restaurant know what they're doing and do a dang good job it. Can't wait to come back here, and if you haven't tried it before you need to cancel your plans for tonight and get in the car, now.

While this establishment is one of my favorites and I have raved about their food.. I am an avid believer in being able to carry because in the end, when it comes to protection no one is better prepared than you. So for me, any establishment that does not allow concealed carry means the establishment must carry the burden of your safety. Most do not realize they may automatically inherit this responsibility through their policies. This can mean up to 500 million per person with current litigation standards. So as a customer realize your environment. I comply with their posting out of politeness. But i am always aware of my surroundings and the risk.

Delicious Asian fusion spot that I went to for my birthday and will definitely go again. The menu does have some basic Asian cuisine choices but it's all very good! We got the roasted garlic eggplant dish which was absolutely amazing. We also got some sort of pan crusted peanut chicken dish that was probably the best thing we ordered to be honest. Can't go wrong with the sashimi platter which was also pretty cheap for sushi. The drinks were absolutely delicious too, highly recommend the Tokyo Iced Tea. My girlfriend got the Yuzu Moscow Mule which honestly just tasted like a regular Moscow mule lol but overall great and delicious dining experience.

Food is always spectacular and service is quick. The ambience is always welcoming. I ordered the Curry Coconut Soup and General Tso Chicken. The pieces of chicken were huge.

We love HakkaChow! We have never had a bad meal here. They have great lunch specials and a great dinner portion. We usually sit with Nancy, the service is always pleasant. The atmosphere is pleasant as well. I definitely love the garden roll, avocado roll and the sesame chicken!

The reduction of my rating is squarely focused on the quality of service rendered here. In my latest encounter, I sat at the bar which had no customers and still waited several minutes for someone to take my order. This was the pattern for the rest of my visit; for example, the bartender once asked if I wanted a refill -- but took several minutes to deliver the refill, and not because they were overwhelmed with work either. The service problems aren't limited to the person working behind the bar either. The kitchen and wait staff still have no clue how to stage the delivery of the soup with the arrival of the entree. They come at the same time. How is this so difficult to figure out? I shouldn't see the main dish until I'm finishing up the bowl of soup. The food is still alright here, but the service problems are convincing me to cross this off my list of dining options for at least a while.

The curry bowl and really any of the bowls is where it's at. We tried the lettuce wraps with tofu this time and didn't even notice it wasn't chicken. We always get a Philly Roll and another more adventures roll for the table when we come here. I am a salad guy versus the soup - and their ginger dressing is awesome. If a meal offers a spring roll for a small up charge - it's worth it - do it.

Nice enough location and ambience. Food is greasy and not good. Spring rolls literally has oil dripping out of them and the chow mein was also greasy. The noodles used in the chow mein were really good quality but execution of the whole dish was poor.

I had never been here, the food was delicious. The drink was incredible I had a dragon berry martini. So good.

I love this restaurant. The staff is always friendly and the food is great. They have simplified their lunch menu since the pandemic but still offer a great variety of Asian cuisine. I am never brave enough to try their sushi menu but it always looks fantastic on the trays passing by. The pork egg rolls are fantastic and I would love to eat Mongolian tofu every day.

Our server, who was new, was outstanding. She made us feel welcome and checked on us frequently to be sure all was well. The food was really good. I had a shrimp tempura roll that was excellent. Others had the Mongolian Beef (smelled delicious and she said it was great), a spicy chicken curry, and tuna sashimi. The crème brûlée was excellent!

This is my go-to lunch place. Their sushi is amazing and they have a ton of options to choose from. I love the shrimp tempura and plain lo mein. They have drink specials every single day and I love when Wine is half off. The ambience is nice and classy. The service is great. We love the servers.

Just average fair. I feel I am an Asian Grill or a Sports bar. Just ok. Not great. On a rain weekday it was quiet I sat at the bar. Long time to order and receive my lunch.

Much like Phoenix Asian Cuisine in Greensboro, Hakkachow calls to mind a non-corporate P.F. Chang's, only better. The restaurant is modern and spacious with plenty of seating to go around. The menu skews Chinese though there are Korean and Thai offerings as well as a sushi/poke menu as well. While there is something to be said for the comfort of familiarity, that menu, save for a few of the sushi rolls, offers no surprises. Everything you'll find here, you've likely already had elsewhere. My wife and I opted to start with one of the unique rolls (Cajun Revolution: tempura shrimp, cream cheese, and jalapeno inside/Cajun salmon, tuna, yellowtail, crispy shallot, aioli, and eel sauce outside), followed by a veggie fried rice (with homemade chili oil) and Singapore noodles, respectively. Our app came quickly, and we didn't have long to wait for our entrees either though service slowed considerably as the restaurant got busier. However, our server remained courteous, apologetic, and unflappably professional through it all. The kitchen proved to be on its game as well. On paper, the Cajun Revolution seemed almost too much, but it made for a tasty bite: spicy, crunchy, and flavorful. Singapore noodles are one of my go-to dishes for Chinese and Asian fusion, and Hakkachow's version didn't disappoint. While not the best I've had, the composition, flavors, and aroma were all there. The fried rice was likewise well-executed, and it contained a variety of veggies, but it wasn't leaps and bounds ahead of what you can get elsewhere. Hakkachow's entrees run large, which helps take the sting out of the mid-teens pricing. On the one hand, that is hardly unreasonable for a nice meal out. On the other hand, depending on how you feel about your favorite Chinese takeout joint, the extent to which Hakkachow's food surpasses it may or may not justify the extent to which Hakkachow's prices do. All told, Hakkachow promises competently made food in a pleasant environment. It might lack a distinctive "wow" factor, but it doesn't seem likely to let you down, either.

My husband and I really enjoyed eating here. The wait staff was knowledgeable and was able to customize some menu items to be vegetarian for us, which we really appreciated. We ordered kung pao tofu (instead of chicken) and the eggplant. Both of which were excellent. Service was fast and attentive. Definitely recommend

Delicious food. Service is great. Tried it for the first time when I was in town visiting family. My daughter recommended it. Will be back soon

I came here recently for a work lunch to celebrate one of my colleague's retirement. We had a party of 10; arrived on Wednesday around 1145am. We were seated immediately at in the main dining area. Our server was nice and brought us waters and took our orders promptly. We put in a couple appetizers - the calamari and dumplings, which came out along with the soups pretty fast. The calamari was almost hard, kind of felt/tasted a bit stale; I liked the dipping sauces, but the calamari itself did not seem fresh and was lacking in flavor. I enjoyed the dumpling a bit more. For my entree, I ordered the beef lo mein with a cup of wonton soup and I added an egg roll. I thought the wonton soup was bland; and definitely not worth the upcharge. My egg roll came out before the main dish (I'm pretty sure it was a spring roll actually; but it tasted fine, especially with the dipping sauce). The low mein was definitely a generous portion (I had several meals for leftovers) but on its own was also a little lacking in seasoning. I requested a side of the house chili oil, and that definitely helped! All in all though, I'd say this was a very mediocre meal/experience; I don't think it lived up to the hype for me, but I would be willing to give it another chance (maybe try the hot and sour or egg drop soup, make sure I actually get an egg roll etc). Worth nothing, the rest of the party seemed content with their meals though.

I went here on a Sunday afternoon. It was quite busy but we were seated and waited on very quickly! I had stir fry basil with tofu. it was excellent. We also noticed how hard everyone in there was working. The tables were bussed very quickly!

To set the scene, this restaurant is in a smaller shopping in an inconspicuous business like building. You walk in and are greeted by a friendly host that's wisps you off your table. The smell of steamed dumplings and soy sauce fill the air in an enticing manner. Our server for the evening greeted us with a friendly smile and handed us our menus and the Thursday special is 1/2 off glasses of wine! As for the menu everything on it was making my mouth water. For appetizer I had the crab wontons and get this they are made with REAL CRAB not that imitation crab. REAL CRAB! They were delicious. Creamy and crispy for the perfect blend of textures. For dinner the hot and sour soup came next. A more viscous soup filled with plenty of flavors in it to keep you coming back for the next spoonful. It was not overpowering in its flavors and was a perfect to set me up for my main course. As an adventurous eater I decided to go with the sushi tower and added on the Salmon Tartar for $5. I had no idea what to expect, but the layers of rice, tuna, crab salad and crisp were presented beautifully! Upon tasting it, I was pleasantly surprised but I did find myself wishing for just a little more of something. It was good, but the flavors seemed to all come together in a way that kept everything more masked. All in all I had a great experience an look forward to returning! I think I will look to explore the other entrees and rolls next time but I know I will be getting great quality cooking at solid pricing as well

WOW! We returned to Hakkachow after speaking with the owners about our previous experience. We didn't tell them when we were going, so it was still an authentic experience. Food was delicious as always. We had the orange chicken, the general Tso chicken, crab wontons, the Hakka zen shrimp, and the garlic naan. The kids had chicken tenders and fries with a side salad. Everything was wonderful! The host staff was friendly and responsive, our waitress (Becca I believe her name was) was responsive, quick, and friendly. We had a much better experience this time around and the atmosphere, service, and food were all much more up to the normal standard. We have so much respect for family owned and operated businesses especially when they take pride in their product and their customer service. 10/10 worth your time and money here at Hakkachow. You will leave full and happy. If there is ever an issue you can count on the management to respond promptly and help to make it better. If you haven't been yet, go try Hakkachow!

Another great lunch at Hakkachow. I had the sushi lunch special which is a good value option. The salad and the spicy salmon were great.

We came here for a birthday celebration.  First, they have lunch specials everyday until 3pm. So,  we all capitalized on that fact.  The birthday girl ordered the chicken lettuce wrap for an appetizer. It's was a large portion and very good. I ordered the green curry with chicken. The portion size again was great and it came with a good amount of vegetables. I have already been back.

We eat here frequently because it's always consistently good. The food is always hot and fresh. You can tell the ingredients are super fresh. Large portions for the money. We always have leftovers and they are always great later. This is a must try if you're in Winston Salem.

Great meal. Superb service. Quick delivery of food to table. The drink at the server recommended was absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend this restaurant. It was very good.

Ok. So. There's a lot to say. Let's start by saying the food was good. I came on a Friday night so it was pretty crowded, and the service was a bit slow. I came with my brother his exact words were "the scenery of this place was amazing 100 stars on the decorations alone." My brothers got the coconut curry soup 10/10, and a sushi stack 7/10, he said the rice could use seasoning. I got the Philadelphia and Spicy Tuna roll 10/10 on both. I also got a Shirley Temple 10/10

Hakkachow is a locally owned Asian fusion restaurant with a modern decor. The menu has specialties but just a few selections from each, which I think is a sign that they aren't trying to do too much but rather focusing on what they can do well. There are a couple of Thai, Korean, Malaysian, Japanese and Mongolian selections. The server, "Z", was personable, attentive and helpful...always helps to make the overall impression a good one. The restaurant was busy but the food came out quickly. We were having a late dinner so we stuck to just entrees. When I ordered the bulgogi, Z asked if I liked spicy foods so I assured him that I love spice and flavor and looked forward to a nice spicy dish. Food arrived nice and hot but lacked both flavor and spice, literally no heat to my dish. The only heat in either entree was from the whole dried chiles in the Kung Pao Chicken, which are cooked just for flavor but I was so desperate for some spice and taste, that I actually ate a few of them. So all in all, a nice little date night spot with good service but lacking the depth of flavors you expect in the dishes we ordered. I am going to go back soon, as I think maybe we just had an off night.

Thanks Chow never fails to please us with fresh authentic seasonings and ingredients prayers got and tas

Tasty asian fusion food. Lovely little restaurant and the servers are very proficient. Enjoyed our bidit

Had a giant roach crawl on the wall beside me . Lost my appetite. Not sure I'll be back for a while.

Friendly staff, clean and trendy atmosphere, and delicious food, what more could you want. Our waitress, Becca, had a positive spirit the entire time despite us coming close to closing. My wife and I always get our go to orders, Beef and Broccoli for her and Beef Fried Rice. I can put away a lot of food and I am always surprised that I'm full everytime. It is pricer than your Chinese restaurant, but it is well worth it.

One of my favorite places to go. Everything I've had from here it's always delicious. The service and attention is always very friendly. And they're always there to guide you through the best option for you. It has a great atmosphere and very clean. My favorite food to have here is the crab wontons with the crispy sweet & sour pork!

The best egg rolls in town. The dishes are excellent, several steps above the standard Chinese food place that infests most shopping centers. Of course they have more than just Chinese, but that is what I go for. The Mongolian beef is excellent. The decor and roominess is also excellent.

Absolutely horrible. We had a reservation and were still sat in the bar area because of how busy it was, which didn't really bother me EXCEPT the bartender had to serve us and kept complaining about it. She would tell us it wasn't her fault when she would forget to bring us things like cups and silverware because she shouldn't have to be dealing with us anyway. Then the food came out... it was disgusting. I ordered the Mongolian Beef which I usually love everywhere I get it and it was grainy and did not taste good- no flavor- mud like texture. I sent it back. Then the owner/manager (not sure which she was) of the restaurant came out to tell me that no one sends the Mongolian Beef back and that it is one of their specialties and then just stared at me as though I was supposed to apologize?!? I told her I have had Mongolian beef many times and usually love it but explained what was wrong with the one I had just been given. She just walked away. The server/bartender was rude, the owner/manager was rude. The food was gross although the serving sizes were huge. I would prefer good food and less of it than a mountain of something barely edible. The ambiance was nice but our silverware and cups came out dirty with lipstick and dried food on it so we had to ask for new ones. Not ever planning to go back.

Great selection of asian cuisine and drinks. Theres a Lunch, Dinner and Sushi menu. My favorite is the Korean Bulgogi Beef and the Crab Wonton! Nice spot for a gathering, date or solo pit stop especially in the evening. The staff is friendly and provides great service, i just wish they had desserts. Update: desserts are offered i just missed them. Will try next visit!

Atmosphere was nice and brought a feeling of mystic happenings afoot. I had the orange beef and it was amazing. The lemongrass sauce that my son had with the crab wantons was excellent. Spring rolls were good and the hot mustard was yummy. Service was good, and all food came out hot.

The food was very good. The place was clean and they people were nice. The orange chicken was awesome and the dumplings are exactly the way they should be. I will definitely be checking back. I like them as much if not more than some of the local Japanese steakhouses nearby. I would say they are a little bit better than PF Chang. Just a little.

Excellent in every category! A go to! Consistent. Clean. Large portions. I would highly recommend! Take out is on point too!

We heard about this place from friends and yelp, and our son treated us to a take out dinner today. It was amazing. Pad thai was delicious, and my husband enjoyed his green chicken curry. Our son said it was best Mongolian beef dish since he's moved here. I tried it and he was right, had that perfect beef succulent tenderness. We definitely want to try the special sushi rolls next time when we dine in. Our order was perfect for our take out day. It's fusion so I'm shocked that the Thai dishes were as good as the Korean dishes. Usually you loose something with fusion restaurants but not at this place. This will be a regular spot for us.

I love Hakka Sushi it is so fresh and so good! They always have great service. The ambulance is so classy and elegant.

The food was good. The curry coconut soup was the best of all. Service was very slow. We waited at least 10 minutes after we were seated before anyone showed up. The service was rather poor; slow, no condiments, did not offer refills for beverages. After we finished our meal it took another 15 minutes to get our bill, after we requested it. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated. This would have easily been a 4 but that service really hurt.

We are repeat customers, which I believe is already at least several 'stars' worth. However, we've always done take away, never in house or delivery, which does limit this review in some areas, but not in all. HakkaChow has never messed up our order. All the dips and sauces are always included. The food is always fresh, the correct temperature, and generous. The packaging is excellent and the pricing is reasonable. Front of house is always pleasant and on time. The dishes are excellent and consistently tasty. We love them!

Seriously every time we eat here we wonder why we don't eat there more! Service is always so prompt and friendly, with the owners/managers checking in on tables. We popped in last night about 6:30, there was no wait and our food arrived in about 10 mins. We ordered 2 rolls, lettuce wraps, and sides of lo mein and garlic naan. I seriously had enough left over for lunch, too.

Everything went well from service yo food especially the chim chi fries yummy , we went thete as a group and service was quick and. On time

Ordered the panko fried chicken with peanut sauce. It was good chicken katsu, but was expecting more of an incorporated sauce. The veggies on the bottom were too salty - just cooked in soy sauce with no balance. The egg fried rice was also a bit salty. But the kicker - they charged .50 for chili sauce. What!?! I've eaten Asian food all over the country from Cali to the North East, Midwest to the South - I've never been charged for hot sauce/condiment. I know it's only .50 but the principle of it offends me.

Dinner was great sushi was outstanding the freshness and quantity were great. Really enjoyed our time. The atmosphere was good for catching up with family. Overall a good place to frequent.

Great place to get some amazing Asian cuisine. Highly Recommend! I'm originally from the area, but no longer live her. However, my parents still live her so I visit when I can. My mom mentioned going here one day and we decided to try it out. My dad is not an adventurous eater, so when I'm in town we always try to get Asian food. The first time we decided to try it, it was during quarantine so they were only doing carryout. They don't have online ordering available, but I've never had an issue when trying to call to place an order. Even with restaurants back up and running, the takeout process is still effective and efficient. I've also dined in and it's an equally great experience. The staff is always friendly and the it is always clean. Parking is shared with the other businesses in the area, but I've never had a parking issue. Firstly, the drinks are great! They're creative and reasonably priced. They also have great drink specials throughout the week. Next, and most importantly the food. EVERYTHING IS AMAZING!!!! It's so flavorful and delicious. The presentation is great as well. You definitely get your money's worth. My mom loves Sweet & Sour Pork so she always orders it since most places don't have it and it's amazing here! The Pad Thai is also great as well as the Vietnamese Vermicelli. I haven't had the sushi yet, but I'm eager to try.

Oh Hakkachow. You have stooped to a new low. Today I met my friends there for lunch and the quality and service has gone down hill and it's so unfortunate. I really enjoyed this place back in the day. Today was a new low for you when you actually charged me for sriracha to go with my spicy tuna roll. REALLY! that is the equivalent to ketchup at an Asian restaurant. I noticed your menu has added an additional charge for the hot oil as well as other condiments. You didn't mention the sriracha but yet you charged me for it. So you are nickel and diming your customers now. Well consider me gone. There are a lot of great restaurants that allow condiments with a meal at no charge.

Another great meal at our favorite Asian restaurant. I had the Vietnamese Vermicelli Bowl, daughter had chicken lo mein and wife had the Mongolian beef. All dishes were excellent. I want to give special recognition to our server who went out of her way to help me order due to my shellfish allergy. She was so patient and kind. She was an excellent server all around. The place was impeccable as always. Clean and shiny, well prepared for service. Hakkachow continues to impress in all aspects.
