Vegetarian Three-Cup King Oyster Mushrooms on Rice…read more I've had this dish before and came back for another round. This time, I decided to level up and chose medium spice... a decision my taste buds are still discussing. Ordering is done through a QR code, and you can customize your dish -- with or without ginger, plus your spice level: mild, medium, or hot. The chef was very generous with the sauce and chilis this time. When they say medium, they don't mean "a little kick"... they mean "welcome to the chili party." The dish came with so many chilis that I started wishing there was a little more rice to help balance the heat. Thankfully, the restaurant serves hot tea, which became my superhero in a cup and helped calm down the spice attack. ‍ I clearly underestimated the "medium" spice level -- but spice levels are funny because they really depend on the restaurant. One place's medium is another place's "are you sure you're ready for this?" Still a tasty and flavourful dish, and I'll definitely remember to respect the chilis next time.

They're even friendly to vegetarians, with an entire page of the menu dedicated to vegetarian dishes. We had the popcorn chicken, the stir fried bok choy, the sha cha chao mian with lamb (the anglicized name for this on the menu is "signature ancestral herbal satay with fried noodles), and the noodle soup with beef brisket and tomato. For three people, this was the perfect amount of food for a hearty dinner. Our favorites were definitely the popcorn chicken and the noodle soup. The popcorn chicken was perfectly and delicately fried, SO JUICY on the inside, and seasoned just right with a lovely basil aroma. The noodles were toothsome and swimming in a gorgeous broth with the most tender beef. Stir fried bok choy is pretty standard but definitely a must if you want really any vegetables in this meal. Sha cha chao mian with lamb was good -- lamb was perfectly cooked, very tender. The noodles themselves are nice but the flavor is a bit one dimensional. Service here is really good. They are so nice, and very fast!

The tofu pudding was AMAZING - freshly made with a delicate soy milk flavor, silky smooth and melts in your mouth. The yam balls are equally impressive, nice yam flavor with just the right amount of chewiness. I could happily eat this all day!

I can only comment on the shaved ice not the regular food…read more I went there for shaved ice because it was hot outside walking from the supermarket. The Google map didn't show the correct entrance because the front entrance is on the street not near the parking lot in the rear. The place almost looked closed. What I like about this place is that it's not closed in the afternoon unlike some other dessert places. The place is a little dark inside and I wish they have some wall plugs for you to charge your phones. The service is good and courteous although it can be slow at times. The shaved ice is alright although they put too much condensed milk. I wish they would put it on the side so you can pour it ourselves. The sides such as qq noodles and dessert tofu are phenomenal but because they are are at the bottom the ice melts too quickly.

Vancouver has so much great Taiwanese food. One of them inside of the Empire Centre food court is…read morethis stall that specializes in Taiwanese bento boxes. Thanks for the recommendation Jando S. At first glance, the prices are average for this type of food. However, once I saw the humongous portions, I believe this vendor should clearly be categorized as cheap eats. For example, for roughly $10, you get three large pork chops (fried or marinated, I slightly preferred the fried more), sautéed cauliflower in XO sauce, soy braised tofu skin (so good I paid for extra $5 portion), crunchy pickles, stewed fish tofu, marinated egg, and a whole separate box of white rice. This is easily $15-20 in NYC. Same price for the crispy, tender, and juicy Chicken Nuggets (aka Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken) with all the trimmings. The quality of every item in the box was top notch and all very delicious. What many customers ordered that interests me for the next visit was the Salt & Pepper Chicken (椒麻鸡), which was basically a huge piece of pounded chicken thigh, battered like the popcorn chicken, with a mala sauce on top. This is a gem for the people who live locally in the area. Such bang for the buck!

You'd barely even notice this place unless you knew it was already there. There was a line up at 1pm outside the door when we left. We got in just in time when there was no line, and there was seating available. It was clean and had ample seating space for a small restaurant. We were seated and served promptly. The food portions were pretty large. We ordered a wonton soup, the T2 and the oyster pancake. The T2 was huge and definitely shareable, and the oyster pancake was delicious and definitely a good reason to come back. We were full when we left, and we had plenty to take home by the time we were done. Needless to say, I'll definitely be back in the future, especially for that oyster pancake.

That massive, fresh chunk of real mango wrapped in chewy, pillowy mochi was an absolute standout, bursting with pure tropical flavor without any cream to dilute it.

There was no indoor seating back then so I had Beef Noodle ($9.50) and Chicken Nuggets ($6.50) to go. Beef Noodle was good, but chicken nugget were dry and lukewarm.

That being said, I was lucky to snag a pair of seats that were shared with another couple, when those people left. Finding a seat here is polite but cutthroat!
