    Another one of my ventures when I was in Canada, the food was great. It is sort of known as Halal Chinese food or INDIAN chinese food. I had tried this before but not at an actual restaurant.  Most Trini folk will cook this for you from Canada or the West Indies.  It tastes different than you typical ny CHINESE ( Chicken with been sprouts or Beef with mixed vegatables).  
    The service here was great, super friendly staff as we ate in the restuarant on a weekday afternoon. It was not too busy inside but people were coming in and out for TO-GO orders during most individuals normal lunch hour or late lunch after 3 PM.  
    Loved the Manchrian beef and hot and sour soup.  Also got a seafood dish (forgot the name though but it was very spicy- I guess just seafood with vegatable just cooked with curry sauce).
    -I will intend to come back next time i am up north in Canada.  The prices seemed very reasonable.  My group ordered alot of food for just the three of us and it was right under $40 and we all left super stuffed.  The place did look very nice inside.

    The first thing you need to know about Eddies is that it is not typical Chinese fare.

    Eddies is Hakka Chinese, the Hakka people left China when communisim emerged and fled to India, Africa, and the Caribbean.

    They opened many restaurants in Calcutta, India. The cuisine was tweaked to suit the local Indian palate using chillies and becoming Halal to acommodate the Muslim community.  My personal favourites are Chicken Hakka noodles and Crispy Beef.

    The Monday to Friday deals are the best value, all under $7 including a soup and mini spring roll.

    The staff are usually friendly and Eddie actually comes to the table to make sure all is well.

    If you are a fan of Hakka food you must try Jasmine and Fedricks on Markham Road in Markham.

    I was so excited to try this place - a friend highly recommended this as the best place for hakka chinese food in Mississauga. Having lived outside of TO the past three years i was so deprived of good hakka food and was looking for something other than Federicks in Scarborough - i love their food but change is good, right? i dont think soo...

    the Chicken Pakoras were generous for an appetizer plate - 12 pieces and they truly were fantastic and thats where the dining experence halted...

    Mains: Chili Chicken - i dont think that was really chicken - its tough and dry and the suace wasn't that great.

    Chicken Chow Mein - very very greasy - the husband makes way better chow mein that Eddie here does.

    Ambience: it was a nice looking halal restuarant but was packed on a Saturday night at 8 pm. People were loitered around every corner of the restaurant and there were only parties of 8 and higher here. There were children running around everywhere banging spoons against plates and it was loud.

    Service: we were quickly seated because we were only two but we were then neglected because there were larger parties that were being attended to. They take pre-orders as you arrive and are waiting to be seated - so study the menu beforehand because then as soon as you are seated they serve. we weren't given the pre-order option since we were just a party of two.

    I wouldn't make the effort to drive to Mississauga to dine here again.

    ps: it's Halal

    A repeat order for my extended family when we crave hakka.

    Highly recommended:
    - Chicken lollypop (spicy) for appetizer
    - Chilli Beef
    - Egg fried rice
    - Soups
    - Manchurian shrimp
    - Crispy beef

    Really really good food but you'll know that right away from the line-ups

    Dear Eddie's,

    Will you come to Michigan? Sure, it's a bit more than you thought you'd travel to work but there is an army of food lovers who would crowd your restaurant night after night, relishing every dish to the last bite.

    Every time I visit Toronto, the first thing I want to do is eat at your restaurant. Every time we leave? We pack up a cooler full of your goodies (the chili paneer, shameless amounts of containers of your noodle dishes, and your SOUPS, glorious soups!) and head home, praying no police officer pulls us over to confiscate some of Mississauga's finest fare.

    I will pay anything for what you serve and have never been disappointed. Everyone I have ever told about your restaurant has fallen in love with you. But I love you more, don't believe them. Plus, I will tip you better. I know your worth.

    Til the next time we meet, adieu. The people who have reviewed you poorly have clearly not been to the same restaurant as me or experienced a rare fluke. I love you still.

    Sonali

    I'll keep this simple.
    Their food is AMAZING.

    Things I recommend :

    Butter chicken [MY favourite]
    Manchurian Chicken
    Chili Chicken/fish
    Hot and sour soup
    Sweet and sour Manchurian beef.

    Small critiques?

    Their spring rolls are kinda small and their staff is nice but not ALWAYS nice, however, that is made up in the quality of food. They are a bit pricey but its because they know their food is good. Their lunch specials however?? Great serving for the price.

    I always find it absolutely necessary to take out of towners here because I know it'll be the best hakka they've had.

    Summary:
    Panda Express, done quasi-Indian style. Atmosphere was pretty good, portion sizes were big, and service wasn't terrible. That said, I was unimpressed with everything else. I had:

    Curry Chicken spring roll
    Spicy Delux chicken (one of their specialties)

    The chicken roll was inventive. Indian spiced ground chicken inside a spring roll wrapper. However, it was fairly puny for the price, and even came with a little plastic packet of generic plum sauce. Disappointment.

    The spicy delux chicken was another thing altogether. Now let me preface this by saying I LOVE Manchurian chicken. It's one of my favorite dishes in the world. I've eaten it in dozens of restaurants, my mother makes it every time I visit home, and I really appreciate the complexities of flavor. I was told that this was Manchurian chicken. If that was the case, then this was by far the worst I've had. The sauce was thick, tomato-based, and sweet. The chicken was far too heavily battered, and worse, was soft... as if it wasn't freshly cooked or wasn't cooked thoroughly enough. It reminded me of a generic Panda Express red sauce chicken, but made with better ingredients and barely any vegetables.

    Bottom line:
    The food was filling, quantities were big and its relatively cheap for that. However, if you have a complex palate and want good food, go elsewhere.

    We go to this place often when we have a birthday lunch in the office.
    $7.75 gets you a soup (hot and sour or sweet corn), a fried roll and a main with steamed rice.

    I got the Chilli FISH with steamed rice and my main.
    It was amazing, lightly battered fish in a spicy chili sauce, terrific.

    The Roll i could do without.

    The Service is ultra fast and friendly.

    I was in Toronto/Mississauga for two days, and I only had a couple of requirements for my short time there: (1) I wanted chocolate Timbits from Tim Horton's because the American equivalent (Dunkin' Donuts) is major suckfest, and (2) I absolutely must have Hakka food. So Eddie's is where I ended up, and oh em gee (insert girlish squeal), it was awesome. Manchurian fish, Chili chicken (dry), shrimp pakora, and fried rice. It was Asian food deliciousness that made me feel like a beached whale, but you might as well call me Shamu because never have I been so happy to refer to myself as a beached whale.

    The service was pretty stellar in that every waiter/waitress in the joint checked up on us, rather than one specific person, although the guy who brought us our food was a bit of a douche. They all move pretty fast too, so it's important to speak up, and speak fast or they'll be gone before you realize it. Eddie can be seen walking around schmoozing with the patrons, which I think is a nice personal touch. The place was absolutely packed, and we had to wait a little while to get our seats, but after trying the food I can see why it would be so busy.

    I think what really sold me on this place was that after we finished eating, I took the leftovers back to my hotel and ate it for breakfast the next day (that's right, breakfast) and it was still absolutely delicious. You know you have something special when leftovers taste good. At that point I knew... I'm moving to Toronto just for the Hakka food. And Tim Horton's. And PIzza Pops. And Smarties. I think that's it. Oh, and for your colored money; it's so cool looking. Except for the twoonies; that's just ridiculous.

    Best Chinese food in the GTA.  The prices are very reasonable and the food is excellent.  I have been to this place more than 5 times and each time tasted different dishes which were all awesome.  I would recommend going to this place for lunch rather than dinner as it is over crowded and very noisy after 7pm. Did I mention that the staff are friendly and the service is very fast...?

    The food and atmosphere here were great- the place was totally packed on a Tuesday night. Would be 5 stars except for the fact that a couple of our dishes came out a bit on the cold side- we ordered about 7 mains and it's understandable that they didn't all come off the heat at the same time. Other than that the servers were exceptional and very happy to help. Will definitely head back here again next time out in Mississauga.
