Tried the Spicy Beef Fried Rice, Fried Chicken, Shrimp Pancake, Stir Fried Bitter Melon with Salted Egg, all good. The bitter melon dish was a nice surprise, not too bitter and complemented well by the salty egg. Desserts were Mango Panna cotta and Basque Chesecake. Meh. Overall our dinner was good, but with all the competition out there, not worth a return visit.

Tried out A.Bento, a Taiwanese spot, on a weekday for lunch. Seems to be very popular with the office workers in the area.
- Matcha smoothie ($3.25) - one of their dine-in drink specials. Too icy even after letting it melt. Reminded me of a Starbucks matcha frappe
- Beef noodle soup ($18.95) - broth was well balanced. Good amount of beef chunks. Wanted more pickled mustard greens
- Taiwanese crispy chicken nuggets bento ($17.95) - generous portion of chicken
- Black pepper beef brisket bento ($18.95)

it’s a personal mission of mine to try every beef noodle soup in this city. abento has one of the top 5. it’s so perfectly balanced, well-priced, and a good portion size. this is one of the best taiwanese restaurants in canada for a reason!

A well-known Taiwanese restaurant currently has its location under construction. The food is average, though there is a wider selection available. However, the service leaves much to be desired. The waitress seemed disinterested in providing good service, which detracts from the overall experience. It's not the best place for lunch.

The nitro black tea is amazing! Food never disappoints. It's been my go-to Taiwanese fusion place.
If you're into bitter melon, the bitter melon salted egg is 👌

Came here for dinner and catching up with some old friends who are in town. Very relaxed atmosphere, and we appreciate the staff being patient as we were caught up in our conversations and took some time to order. Authentic, delicious Taiwanese food and great portions. Attentive service. Easy to get to being so close to the Broadway-City Hall station. Would come back again.

I heard the Taiwanese restaurant before but I haven't been to there because it was super hard to find parking. When I saw it has promotion in December, I finally got there. To be honest, it was much better than I expected. The portion of food was decent and the seasonings was light but still flavorful. The trio fried platter was a must order. Bento was very impressed too, main dish with two sides and rice. The only item I didn't like was the night market steak, not enough sauce and the noodles had no seasonings and muddy. I may want to try more dishes if I go nearby next time.

The best spicy beef noodle soup! The appetizers and nitro black tea are great accompaniments. Servers are always super friendly and make great recommendations 😊
