This is a Taiwanese restaurant serving dishes in Bento boxes. The soft opening was on 2022-12-09 and grand opening will be on 2023-01-29. It is mostly a takeout restaurant (small interior space) but there is counter seating for 2 and you allowed to stand at the other counters to eat if you wish.
Each Bento box comes with your choice of 3 veggie sides along with pickled radish. There some snacks available too. Overall, the food looks and tastes great and the service is courteous.
Most of the food is in heated serving pans. A few items (like fish fillet) are kept in the back to preserve their crispness.
1. Chicken Leg Bento ($15.95).
2. Red Braised Pork Bento ($15.95).
3. Fried Fish Fillet Bento ($15.95).
4. Taiwanese Sausage Share Box ($8.99).
5. Popcorn Chicken Snack ($8.99). It is $1.00 with any Bento box during grand opening day.
The Chicken Leg is a thigh + leg and chopped into a few pieces when pit into the bento box.
The Red Braised Pork was perfectly cooked showing the various delicious layers.
The Fish Fillet breading has plum powder giving it some sweetness. I love that sweetness.
The two snacks we had were plentiful and worth the $8.99 price.
For the veggie sides (spread over our 3 bento boxes), we had fried tofu, eggplant, broccoli, tomato scrambled egg, green beans, cabbage with fungus, potato strips. Every side was delicious. The green beans and tofu had a hint of spice.
The "C" of C-Block stands for Clinton St, the intersection on Bloor St they are on.
There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible but there is no door-open button. There are no customer washrooms. There is free and paid neighbourhood street parking.
