Really amazing beef noodle soup. The popcorn chicken is also authentic. Flavor is real Taiwanese. I'm happy with what I find there. I've been an expat since the age of 16, rarely I find real Taiwanese food overseas, so this touches me 🥹

A hidden gem in Montréal! The food feels fresh, nostalgic & homemade. The service was incredibly warm & welcoming. I had the Braised Pork with Rice & Grilled Sausage, & the portions were huge!! It's enough to feed two people! Despite the big portions, I did not feel tired from eating that plate, it was a savory heaven. My friend simply ordered a side of popcorn chicken, & my god was it well seasoned. I've never tasted popcorn chicken this flavorful, though I personally would've liked it just a biiit crispier! The food was also very affordable for a student like me!

Great service! Very welcoming & delicious food. Although the portions were a bit small, we (5 people) ordered 2 other meals. Definitely recommend the beef noodle soup ! 🤤 Beef was tender, soup was flavourful with the toppings & the noodles were soft

Saw some good reviews & ordered on uber, ended up pretty disappointed. The food portions are tiny. Ordered the satay beef with rice & 80% of the box were filled with just rice, with only a few pieces of beef (also very bland). The beef noodles tasted ok but there were just five pieces of beef (was expecting more for $17). The milk tea tasted fine, but the tapioca bubbles were super hard & impossible to chew :(

They have some Taiwanese dishes that are hard to find in Montreal. I'm really glad they have fried pork cutlet, braised pork chop & pork bone herbal soup...etc. The fried pork cutlet is superb with its authentic taste. Just wish the portion of vegetables was bigger & there was more sauce on the rice. The owner is really nice! Can't wait to try other dishes :)
