Hakka & Co.

What is Hakka & Co.? Anchoring 555 Church Street in the Village, Hakka & Co. is a vibrant, community-forward wok bar founded by three longtime friends who honed their craft in local kitchens over years of line work. The casual, high-energy dining room combines counter seating, cozy tables, and seasonal outdoor sidewalk seats that catch the spirited energy of Church-Wellesley. It delivers street-style Mumbai Indo-Chinese cooking straight to the downtown core, filling a long-standing gap for certified halal Hakka fare south of Bloor.

Hakka & Co. Menu & What to Order The kitchen operates on heavy wok hei, turning out smoky stir-fries, crispy bar bites, and handmade dumplings. Start with the house special Desi Hakka & Co. Chowmein tossed in a spicy soy masala, then move to the momos—served steamed or deep-fried and slathered in fiery Schezwan sauce, with chicken, beef, paneer, and vegan options. Crispy chilli chicken and saucy Manchurian cauliflower deliver the quintessential punch of green chilies and garlic, best rounded out with a warm bowl of Hakka thukpa or a refreshing mango lassi.

Know Before You Go Tables can be booked directly through the restaurant's website, though walk-ins move briskly except during peak weekend nightlife surges. The space is a five-minute walk east of Wellesley subway station, and metered street parking on Church Street fills quickly after dark. The kitchen serves late every day, keeping the woks hot until midnight on weeknights and until 2:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
