I haven't been to Taiwan Best Mart since the pandemic and completely forgot about the place until I…read moredrove by today. I ordered the Bento Box to-go and it was ready in less than 10 min. Each Bento Box comes with purple rice, pickled mustard green (my fav), sautéed Taiwanese cabbage, and two daily side of your choice. You also get to pick the main dish, which I selected the stewed pork. For the sides, I went with original sausage and stewed egg. I'm trying to prioritize my protein whenever possible and they are protein friendly here. I appreciate the items were neatly arranged in the to-go Bento Box. I thoroughly enjoyed every items I have selected. It wasn't greasy and full of flavors. Besides Bento Boxes, they have noodles, soup, small bites and side dishes. I want to try the Taiwanese Fried Chicken next time. They also have a freezer full of dumplings, fish balls, sauces, cooked items and etc. for purchase. I got the Zha Jiang (pork meat sauce) that I can't wait to try on noodles. There are 4-5 tables to dine in if you preferred but I think this is more like a take-out spot.

The bento boxes offer 2 side dishes that you can pick from and the portions are a good amount. I got the Fried Chicken Bento box and eggplant & century egg/tofu as the side dish for $18. The fried chicken was tender and breading was light; was hoping for more crunch. This spot is solid but nothing crazy special about the dishes though.

We usually call in 1 week in advance and order the coral shrimp and salt and pepper lobster. Their gourd melon clam soup is sooooo good. So is the double golden fried rice. These are our absolute must orders. We have enjoyed everything so far but the must order items are just delightful. They're very good about swapping out fresh plates. The servers are all very very very nice and attentive. The outside is unassuming but the inside is very nice and clean. Even the bathrooms are very clean. They play Chinese pop so I get to listen to good music too. They only have beer but you can byob and they'll provide the glassware too. I can't wait to be back again!

On my latest visit it was a very busy Sunday, but I was able to place an order for take-out and then wait in my car for the order to be ready. I ended up ordering the pork steamed rice noodle roll, the beef and cilantro steamed rice noodle roll, the garlic long beans, and the beef and mixed mushrooms. I saw a couple of other Elites dining in when I was ordering, but it was so busy I couldn't properly say hi, so "HI DAVID AND EVA!" I'll have to keep an eye out for their next review, because whatever they had looked delish! I waited in the car for a bit and then when the order still needed a few more minutes I popped into the dollar store next door to kill a bit more time. Before I knew it my order was ready to go. They packed everything really nicely and we served it up as soon as we got home. Their rice noodle rolls are so flavorful and I love the sweet, salty and savory sauce that comes with it. The noodles are really filling, and the dishes we got would be enough food for 2-4 people depending on how hungry you are. We ate the rice rolls right away and then had leftover green beans and beef and mushrooms for lunch today. The green beans were fresh and had a great garlic flavor, without it being too much. The Beef and Mushrooms was great, the beef was tender and flavorful and the mushrooms soaked up all the sauce. There were also green beans in this dish, which was a perfect addition. I really need to dine in soon for the full experience, but take-out has always been a win for me.

I ordered the hot Hong Kong milk tea and the beef teppanyaki rice, and both were delicious.

The customer service was excellent as well. If you're looking for a casual spot with tasty food, great drinks, and good service, Flame Cafe is definitely worth checking out.

Getting home cooked style meal cant be any more satisfying while traveling and authentic Chinese…read morefood is harder to find! To all my canto peeps, this will be the place where you feel like home. However a tad variation of preferences to taste buds. My family is from a different area from the Mr. with a different flavor profile than his. So here is our take: braised beef noodle soup - we loved but the Mr. loved it more. Soup reminded me of shoyu ramen with garlic. Simple, soothing and flavorful. I loved it but it was missing a few spices I am personally used to such as more spice mix and pickled mustard greens. House Fried Rice (Thursday special) - this was simple yet satisfying. With shrimp and Chinese sausage in it. Carb overload but it was such a comfort food we cant help but finish it. House soup dumplings which we also liked but again he loved this one more also. Again, simple yet flavorful, clean comfort food while i felt the skin was a tad thicker than what I prefer. So this one depends on your preferences. Regardless, this was still good. Ambiance: clean and welcoming. They have a TV screen to highlight their food items with pictures which I always love to help me find what i want to eat. But wont lie, it makes me want to get every item on there. They all look yummy. Service: Its a family run restaurant and one person serving everyone plus seating and taking the bill. So during rush hour, do expect wait times but I completely understand and don't mind it. I can see they are busy and would rather than go to a place that is slow where the server walks like a sloth. That is always an eye sore to me. Cost: prices are reasonable and same to any other places similar. Parking is in a huge plaza and can be crowded during rush hour but still enough just may need to walk further a bit. If we ever travel this way again, will definitely be back!

Their food hits the spot for a craving but it does not live up to the hype of all these other reviews on here. If you've been to Taiwan, you know what I mean. The star of the show is the marinated cucumbers.

The food was hot, fresh and very flavorful. My favorite was the wonton soup. The broth was light, not too salty but tasty and they gave plenty of wontons & broccoli.
