My domain have good TF, DA, PA but it is hacked and around 2 lack pages added to it and it start ranking for some Chinese keywords. I have restored the website with backup I have last week but still ranking same pages which added after hacking. Should I drop the domain or keep it?

Try disavow link tool from Google Webmasters tools.

1. Restore is not enough - they got in somehow. Make sure everything is fully up to date. Make sure no mulled plugins, or little known plugins. Make sure no other sites are hosting with it on same shared hosting. If one of those things stands out as a possible cause then great, if not then you’re gonna get hacked again. In this case best to delete and add WP files from new. Keep only database, then put things back one by one.

2. Change all your passwords.

3. Install and configure wordfence (assuming it is WordPress you’re using).

4. Do a scrape of site:yourdomain.com from google, then extract all the spam pages and submit them to google.

I’ve done exactly this several times before and got the issue fully sorted.

Thanks for the details. I have done all the 3 steps but I don't know how can I do step 4 that you have mentioned there are more then 2 lack links which google are ranking wrong.

I don't need to remove backlinks. I need to remove links that are being crawled everyday in google search console.
 
i can confirm that disavow is perfect in such situations. My client had the same situation with Chinese keywords.
