    I pass by Ho Ja everyday and as its new to the neighborhood I was really wanting to go. I ran by recently while they were passing out samples and the chicken was SO good. I had a slightly different experience when I went for dinner. First off, I should have gotten the chicken. I instead opted for something more authentic Asian and got a beef roll which while was OK, I didn't find it had much flavour. The Ho Ja sauce definitely helped. It came with a pickled salad which was basically pickled broccoli and carrot that had just about turned to mush. With the beef roll I also had a Taiwanese beer, good price and cold. The interior is nice, very clean, wood benches and casual dining area and the staff was very friendly. I had very high hopes but was left still wanting. I will probably be back but to go for the chicken which I had the sample of and maybe for some karaoke downstairs.

    How have I not reviewed this place before??? Lovely yummy Taiwanese Food. The chicken popcorn is to die for. We ended up ordering 4 plates of those between 3 of us. 3 of them were ordered, after we had ordered the whole meal & tasted the popcorn chicken! Light, soothing, yet nourishing soups. We made a meal of the soups, appetisers and specials. They have sauces on the side depending on your heat tolerance. We chose the spiciest version & were very happy with it. Some of the home made dumplings had thicker skins, but the fried dumplings were thinner skinned. The thicker ones, weren't pasty, they were just slightly thicker than normal. The beef rolls were good too. There are a couple of Taiwanese drinks, that are quite interesting. The interiors seem a bit sparse and industrial, but the service is warm & helpful. I'll stop by anytime for that popcorn chicken.

    A really cute, friendly, delicious neighborhood eatery serving authentic Taiwanese dishes (street food). Small menu but all great! Love the ambiance and wooden tables there.

    It's clean environment and good atmosphere. You can try the Taiwanese beef noodles and chicken popcorn, there is not a drop of water in milk sago and taro! They also sell Taiwan Beer, Taiwanese root bear with Apple cider. The price is cheap, a Bento around £6、beef noodles around £7. By the way there is Karaoke in downstairs, can have a party there.

    As someone who is of Singaporean heritage, this place is not bad. It definitely is a good intro for…read morethose who are going to Singapore or want a taste of Singapore. however, if you're from the country, it may not be that impressive. Their flavors for the most part were right, portions are small, and prices are high which contrasts for its norm, since this is street food in Singapore which would cost 3-6$ a plate. Would recommend a more Peranakan decor to make this place feel like Bugis in Singapore. Hainanese chicken rice- good chicken, soup was way too salty that it was nota drinkable at all. Rice was right flavor but wrong texture. Maybe the certain rice can't be found in UK. Seafood Chow fun- I was actually impressed with the chow fun part that charred part and the oily noodles that require high heat and high oil to make it that texture. this dish was good. Would highly recommend it. Chinese leaf- just dressed up Napa cabbage but well done. Salt and pepper shrimp were also not bad The hakkien mee was good but was a little sweeter than what I remembered from Singapore. Overall an ok place- If you've not had Singapore food before this is a good pricy intro to what's ahead.
