This place is close to a pub we used to go to all the time! We were over in no time and walked in. It was pretty empty but it was raining pretty hard when we dropped in. We had a scan at the menu and they had some specials. You could get a main but you could also make it a combo where you get a side and a drink. After having a quick look through the menu, I definitely wanted a scallion pancake with an egg. I combo'd it so I got a hash brown as well as a milk tea. We grabbed a seat, the seating in here is limited but I can't see people sitting in here for too long. I just wanted to give you a heads up in case you come with a large group. Our order was out in no time in a bunch of wrapped paper wrappers. I ripped open all my bags to check out my breakfast and they looked alright. The pancake with egg was decent as well as the hash brown I got. The milk tea wasn't overly sweet. This place has quite a number of different breakfast options and interesting ones that I'd definitely come by to try something else. The items I ordered were decent enough I'd grab them in a pinch if I was in the area. The service was super friendly and prices weren't bad!

SO GOOD. The food is DELICIOUS…read more This small Taiwanese place is great for a to-go style meal. The seating section is small so not the best for big groups or hanging out. We ordered: Braised Pork Rice Traditional Taiwanese Rice Ball (the fried egg one) Ham Puff Pastry Sandwich They were all around $10-$12 each The problem was the incredibly long wait time. For these 3 items to go, I probably waited 15-20 minutes which is too long, but I forgave them after tasting the food

I have an onion and garlic intolerance (I will be sick for 2-4 days if I get any), and some restaurants are born good with handling that. The staff checked all the prepped stuff and sauces and came back with suggestions of what I could have. One of the suggestions was the sukiyaki hotpot. I enjoyed it so much I've been back twice for it, and will be going in the future. The first visit was with friends, and they all really enjoyed their food as well, so my dish isn't a lone syandout.

We decided to share a bunch of dishes so we can try a bit of everything. The popcorn chicken was so delicious, perfectly crunchy and well seasoned. The BBQ sausage was very flavorful. The beef steak egg pancake was also good, though a bit oilier than expected. Our sukiyaki hotpot with udon had a nice, comforting broth and the toppings were solid. My favourite was the house-special minced pork on rice. Its a pretty simple dish but always hits the spot. The portion size is a bit smaller than if you were to compare to a traditional Chinese style restaurant. I would say this place leans more toward trendy, individual/fusion-style Taiwanese dining rather than big family style platters. In our case, with 5 people sharing mostly appetizers / smaller dishes, we ended up spending about $20 per person (tip + tax included) which is still a pretty good deal. I'd absolutely go back for the popcorn chicken and the minced-pork rice bowl again.

Both pork belly and pork hock meat were tender and full of flavour, well balanced taste with more savoury than sweet tone which I liked. Mapo tofu was spicy but not numb which is my preferred choice. The fried eggs were tasty too. The eggs were cut into rectangular pieces. Service was fast as it's really a fast food style, the window seat freed up so we moved there. It's a small place, only 3 or 4 sets of table. Each bento set is $15, lots of food so I still think it's a good deal.

For drinks and dessert, the Strawberry Snow Slush was refreshing and light, and the House Special Milk Pudding was smooth and not too sweet, perfect to finish the meal.

You know what you're going to get every time you order. We've had popcorn chicken (5/5), pork cutlet (4.5/5), fish fillet (4/5), braised beef (4/5), stinky tofu (3.5/5 for me but others give it 4/5), dry noodles with Taiwanese sausage (4/5), braised beef soup noodles (4/5). The sides are consistent in what you get and the nice thing is you get to choose 3 with bento boxes. The complimentary soup is alway nice and my rating varies depending on what they made that day but never below 3/5. Price: At prices between 10-12$, this is a great place to get takeout lunch or dinner.

They take debit but since we don't have Canadian debit cards our American ones didn't work ofc! There is no ATM around and luckily she was OK with us using our credit card this one time!! Really appreciated that. As for the food, we got the stinky tofu, sticky rice sausages, oyster omelette, and chicken thigh bento. My husband is from Taiwan and he thought the the food was just OK. He particular liked the bento and stinky tofu but the oyster omelette and sticky rice sausages fell short and I agree! The bento had a variety delicious side dishes and chicken was moist and tastily flavored. Big portion and good value! The stinky tofu was crispy and stinky, perfect and pickled cabbage was great with it. The oyster omelette was fine but wasn't glutinous enough, we are used to it being more gooey/sticky/stretchy. In addition there were a lot of onions in it which was hadn't experienced before. The sticky rice sausages fell apart super easily and the casing around the rice was really hard to bite through. Minimal seating, 2 tables that seat 4 each. A counter with 2 seats by the window. Not sure if we'd come again but not bad.
