Best cheap eat in the area! The selection is endless for everyone and great packaging. The seating Is rather small for a large group but perfect for a quick in and out. Recommend for everyone to give it a try. Especially their popcorn chicken! read more

Summary: efficient service and sense of "old-school-classic-but-clean" makes this a great place to grab a *small* bite for a reasonable price... dishes are fresh and flavourful, but it's not going to fill you if you're a big eater. Top Must-Get: minced pork/braised pork Top Regret: trying to get full here I consider this my go-to Taiwanese-fusion restaurant in this part of town! Parking can be a pain, since it's in a little plaza (and the restaurant itself is small and fills up quickly during peak hours), but they get the food quality right. SERVICE Has been hit or miss.among me and my friends here. I find that they're on point, friendly and efficient - but I know that hasn't always been the experience (my friends have gotten glares, impatient sighs, and borderline cut-eye when ordering at times, and I'm not entirely sure why). They open promptly at 11 though, and the general vibe is very homely and welcoming. The store just looks inviting - they did a great job renovating it. FOOD I usually go with the minced pork or braised pork, and really should start trying something new, because while I LIKE the dishes, I feel like they aren't reaching their FULL potential. Braised Pork: So the rice is slightly soggy, but besides that, you get about 5 - 6 slices of tender, juicy pork, each with a fair amount of flavourful fat on the meat (okay, so don't get this if you're watching your saturated fats), and there's just the right kick of spice. The "ham suen choi" or 'salty sour veggie' is not something I usually enjoy, but it was really good here, and they also sprinkle on crunchy little somethings that just complete the dish. Besides the soggy rice and the fact that it takes me about 8 bites to finish the dish, I was really happy with it. Minced Pork and Sausage: To be honest, I didn't LOVE the sausage - it lacked flavour. But this dish comes out super fast and I imagine it's because it's one of their more popular ones. The minced pork is nicely seasoned though, and mixes in really well with the rice. Again, 7 spoonfuls top for me to finish, but those are 7 glorious spoonfuls. In the ultimate nod to quality over quantity, I give this 3.5 rounded to 4 stars. More consistency with the service and a more generous portion size would make me more comfortable with the rating, but those bites of pork do make it worth it. (Put another way, it's 4.5 stars if you're just looking to satisfy a pork flavour itching, 2.5 stars if you're hungry with a big appetite.) read more

This is my go-to place for Taiwanese food in Markham. FOOD: Great food and value. I love their popcorn chicken the most. They are crispy and flavourful, love the dipping sauce to go with them. I almost always order them when I visit. Other decent dishes are "Pang Pang" skewer chicken (fried chicken topped with mayo and seaweed) and their beef pancakes. I also enjoy their signature beef noodles. It's a tad bit on the sweeter side but the broth is rich in flavour and beef is tender. The hand cut minced pork rice is great and saucy. I usually get it with sausage and egg. The picture on the menu could be a little deceiving because it shows with a marinated egg in the rice but in reality, the egg costs extra. Also, their oyster omelette is only available on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which is a bit unfortunate. ENVIRONMENT: The restaurant is usually very packed and the space is quite small. it's hard to sit farther away from the entrance so it's not the most enjoyable experience to eat when the weather is cold. You'd feel the wind as customers come in and out the restaurant. SERVICE: Attentive and friendly for a busy Asian restaurant. read more

My party of 6 showed up around 7:30 pm on a Saturday, and the small seating area was packed! A lady took down my number and then called us about 20 minutes later when they had our table ready. She called multiple times, but she just wanted to make sure that we were actually coming back for our table and not ditching the restaurant. We sat down and were promptly given menus and water. Due to the nature of the restaurant, I didn't expect service to be so attentive, but it was! The lady who served us was very set on getting our bill details right, and went over whose items were on which bills with us without acting frustrated at all (which has happened before, especially when there's a bit of a language barrier). She got everything perfect and continued to check on us as the night went on. And of course, the food. I got the chicken cutlet/noodle soup combo, my friends got the spicy beef brisket noodle soup (never fails! The one here was SUPER amazing), teriyaki chicken bento, shrimp wonton soup, chicken cutlet bento, and the pork cutlet/noodle soup combo. With the 6 of us, I think the bill came out to about $50! Amazing prices for great food. The chicken cutlet was super super good! I would come back just for the chicken cutlet and the spicy beef brisket soup. These two items are definite must-trys here. tl;dr: If you're anywhere within 20 minutes of Papa Chang's, definitely drop by! It'll be well worth your gas money :) read more

I love, Love, LOVE, LOVEEEEE Pa Pa Chang's. I had no idea it existed, and even though Yelp has highly ranked this place, for some reason, I still never had a super strong urge to try it. I'm SUPER happy I did, because it's a delicious, more affordable izakaya styled dishes, place for lunch. Papa Chang's has no Fancy Schmancy design, it's looks like a small, family owned business when you walk in - waiters tend to speak to you in Cantonese. Photographs are spread in some areas of the walls, with newspaper articles of Pa Pa Chang's in Taiwan - pretty impressive. The most impressive/disappointing piece of decoration of all time was the three pottery glazed LAO FU ZI'S on the ledge. I mean, come-on, they were all the same height?!?!?! Food reviews: I really enjoyed every single dish they offered here. One of my favourites was the chopped meat with rice with an egg (egg is for an extra $1) - though a very small portion, it was delicious! The rice was cooked to a chewy texture, but not overly moist, but OH MAN, the meat was pretty close to perfection. I think their snacks are really delicious. Another item we tried was the Panko Fish Stick (3 pieces) for $4.49. It was drizzled slightly with wasabi, but those with wasabi phobias - don't you worry, the wasabi was really light, that even someone like myself did not cough and turn red immediately. Don't ever come on a Monday, because if you do, you will be as dissapointed as I was today. Yes, you guessed it, Pa Pa Chang's is CLOSED on Monday! NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO, (but hey, restaurant employees need a break too, to be able to produce such delicious food for customers)! read more

papa Chang is one of my go to spots for Taiwanese food that is affordable! everything on the menu is under $10 and so far everything I've tried tastes amazing! the only downside is the place is pretty small and has about 6 tables so there is usually a wait time. the service here is really good and quick. they are attentive to refill tea and take away finished dishes. the food arrived very quickly which was awesome. this time I got the braised beef noodle soup . the soup was very flavourful and gave the meat a good kick of taste. the beef was very soft and melted in my mouth. the noodles were also perfect the perfect texture. I thought the portion was a good amount and I was realky satisfied $7.49 another go to dish for me is the popcorn chicken they have that comes with rice, bean sprouts, tofu and I think the other side is fish cakes? any ways the chciken is nicely spiced and crunchy. Delicious dish ! everyone needs to try this place out it's amazing. they also have a small store located at the second level of the pmall food court so that's another option read more

Their Popcorn chicken is the best, freshly made as you do your order not reheated, the portion size is great for the price. The cashier/order taker was very friendly, and always provided great service. Recommend this place to anyone who loves fried chicken. I have yet to try the other dishes but will provide more reviews once I do. read more

Small little family owned Taiwanese restaurant that is located in a small plaza. There is only a small section for tables so if you want a seat, either go early or make a reservation. The menu isn't huge but enough selection for decent Taiwanese choices. You can choose from bento boxes, noodles, rice bowls, snacks, side dishes. The bento box are the easy to go to choices, it comes with rice, a few different veggies and which ever dish you choose. I would recommend the pork intestines (fried), popcorn chicken, thinly sliced marinated beef. Those are the ones which I usually order. The food is very flavorful and delicious!! Prices are well worth the food you get, average of $10 per person, depending on what you order and how many people you come with. Of course the more the merrier and the more different dishes and snacks you could all try! I always come here to eat if I'm close to this area and will continue to be coming back! read more

Best Taiwanese food in Toronto and at cheap prices too! Everything I have tried is very good, but my favourite is their spicy beef noodle! The beef is tender, noodles are chewy, and the broth is flavourful and just the right amount of spice for me. I also recommend the popcorn chicken bento and the braised pork and sausage with egg and rice. Their drinks are actually pretty good too for a restaurant that doesn't specialize in bubble tea. It doors feel like you are eating in a food court, but if you pay attention to the decor they actually have a lot of cute retro items spread throughout. The only bad thing about this restaurant is that it's so small and seats very little so there is always a wait and you feel rushed eating there. A lot of customers order take-out from here instead. I'm excited to try their new location in Richmond Hill. read more

There really aren't as many restaurants like this anymore. No frills, delicious, authentic and cheap. Like every who comes here, we got the Popcorn chicken rice along with the spicy beef noodle and sticky rice. The popcorn chicken was tasty and came in a box ready for takeaway. The beef noodles were very spicy compared to other restaurants (so beware), the soup was full of flavour and the beef was plentiful. I have to say the soup felt like a lot of msg and I was very thirsty afterwards. The sticky rice was...very sticky. Not bad but I won't crave for t again. This is our go to for fast and delicious in the area. If you haven't tried it out, you have to. read more

Taiwanese food! I always find it so comforting. Maybe cause it reminds me of home. This restaurant does a pretty good job at TW homey food. The menu is pretty varied, with the usual Taiwanese snacks.. but disappointed there's a lot of things not available such as stinky tofu, oyster omelette, and oyster noodles! Instead, this time we ordered: pork thick soup, fried tofu with pickled vegetables, meat dumpling (ba wan), tempura with sweet sauce, minced pork noodles in soup, and wintermelon tea. The best flavours were the minced pork noodles in soup which tasted so flavourful and such a big serving, and the meat dumplings, which although the skin was not so Q, the filling was super tasty. The fried tofu was also pretty good, with a very thin layer of crispy and lots of soft pillowy tofu inside. The pork thick soup was okay. I found it had too much vinegar and too sour. The tempura was okay too but the sauce wasn't flavourful enough. It was very watery. I really miss the tempura in the street food stalls in Taiwan!!! And the wintermelon tea was too diluted I tasted no wintermelon at all. Overall it was pretty good, I don't expect too much in Toronto for Taiwanese food. I think it's a hit and miss depending what you order. read more

Food here is quite mediocre. Although it's relatively inexpensive, the food also comes in small portions, so don't be fooled by the prices ! Popcorn chicken - lacked flavour Beef wrap - not very traditional. It is wrapped with lettuce mayo egg and beef slices :S Minced pork rice - recommended and only get the spicy if you can handle spice, it has quite of a kick to it read more

Finally, somewhere that is worth the hype. If you read my reviews, you can tell I'm hard to please. Papa chang's was a last min decision and we definitely didn't know it was SO small (hence why 1 star knocked off), so we didn't realize we needed reservations! Lucky for us, this one person that left their phone # on the waitlist didn't pick up their phone or something, so we got seated immediately. My boyfriend got the most standard taiwanese dish: the minced pork, tea egg, taiwanese sausage rice and OMGGG WHAT?? IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD. The flavour was amazing and I've NEVER tasted that dish THAT good before.. it made me sad I didn't get it for myself. The popcorn chicken was ok, pretty standard in taiwanese fusion restaurants in the GTA. Dipping sauce was neat. I would've enjoyed it more if it was a bit less breaded though. I got the satay noodles and it was yummy. Great noodles but could use a lot more thick satay sauce. I really loved this place and would definitely come back to try more food on a less busy day! I'm not too much of a fan of touching elbows with the person eating beside me.. read more

Didn't know this place existed right around the corner, but I was able to find it through Yelp. Thanks Yelp, this place is awesome. There isn't too much Taiwanese shops around, but this one has some really good flavors going on. Not to mention that the price cannot be beat. I tried the house popcorn chicken bento and the signature beef noodles. Both were great. Popcorn chicken that I have had in other spots like this wasn't very good, but this place has pulled it off. We went very early, around 4pm, and it was already pretty busy. I couldn't imagine the place on an evening or weekend. There is only about 25 seats in the whole place, so I am sure it is packed. The food is fresh and made to order. It is fast too. From the time you order, you can get your food within 10 minutes. I have to head back to see what else they have to offer at this shop! read more

Came here on a Friday night, around 6:30 PM and was surprised the place wasn't packed.. YET. First off, try to come before 7PM as the place gets packed really fast. Servers greeted us with smiles and you are offered either water or tea as soon as you get seated, which is a nice touch. They got our orders pretty quickly, and we got the food in 5 mins. Very impressive! First impressions with the food: Very small serving for what you pay, but I have to admit the food is good. But the rice to meat ratio is not good, as there is way so much rice in the small bowl, especially on the minced pork and rice item on their menu. I think I would come back to try their other dishes, but for the price, I am sure there are better choices out there. Papa Chang's is still worth a try though. Remember to try and beat the dinner rush, as since the place has very limited seating, the place gets really packed really fast. read more

This place is good for take-out and not bad if you stay as well, the waiter (an older guy) is really friendly and gave us some great suggestions on what to order. I came here in a group of 6, so we can try more dishes, there was about 2 other tables and some people picking up take out orders. The food came fairly quick, I like the portions, not too large, great for sharing. There is MANY selection, will come back to try more food! The food was mainly a hit with a couple of misses. But because there is so many different flavours in each dish, I don't expect every single dish to fit everyone's taste buds. so of course some will be his/miss with this huge menu. Stick to the items you like and you will enjoy the food they have to offer here. The downside for me is the location, it's a bit far for me as this is at the very north end of markham, and in a tiny plaza, but because there isn't really any other good businesses around here, it's easy parking. read more

Okay, I'm addicted. I think about popcorn chicken from Pa Pa Chang all the time! It's crispy and just the right amount of greasy and served with delicious dipping sauce. The deep fried pork belly ($5.99) was also so freaking good. Sure, you can feel your arteries clogging with each bite... but it's worth it. You might want to share this dish. We split the Taiwanese sausage and mince pork on rice ($4.50) It was filling and a nice change from the fried snack food. The Beef Pan Cake ($4.25) was huge but surprisingly less heavy than expected. I want to be here having fried snack food right now! O_o read more

I am so glad my friend introduced me to this restaurant! Authentic Taiwanese food! From what I heard, they were very popular at night market before deciding to open it's own store here! The only negative comment I have for this place is the seating area is SUPER small. They do not take reservations and they don't have room for people to stand and wait for a seat. Thus, my recommendation is to either come at very odd time or order take out which is just as good! The foods are overall very good. I love the Signature Beef Noodle Soup, Popcorn chicken, Taiwanese sausages and minced pork rice and a cheap but decent bubble tea to wrap up a meal! I still haven't tried their other signature dishes like the skewer fish, tofu and more! I forgot to also mention their price is relatively cheap, so it's worth every penny!! If this is your first time at this place, the one thing you MUST order is their popcorn chicken!! read more

Two of us came here on a late Saturday night, around 8pm and we were pleasantly surprised to find it still packed. We had to wait a few minutes for a table as quite a few parties were leaving then, so we were pretty lucky! First impressions - We were definitely taken aback by how small the entire place, only about 24 seats in total, some makeshift ones could be/were added here and there. There's barely enough room for people to be waiting at the door, so it can definitely be an issue for larger groups. The menu was fairly small, but there was a great variety in it. We ordered popcorn chicken, a "pancake", a wonton noodle soup, a fried work noodle soup, and a "kum kquat" hot drink. That was definitely way more food than the two of us could eat. We ended up leaving with most of the pancake and the port cutlet. Even with only 2 waitresses, service was great - plates were cleared very quickly and they came by often for tea refills. The food came rather quickly, and it was amusing to see which dishes many people had ordered, because, for example, 3 plates of popcorn chicken would come out at the same time! Generally, the food was decent. Nothing extraordinary or special, but just of decent quality - what you'd expect. The portion sizes were on the small side. The bowls of noodle soup look deceivingly large, but trust me, it's mostly just the soup. Looking at the tables beside though, the rice bowls may have been a better option based on portion size. Specifically didn't find the popcorn chicken that worth it. It was around $6 for the small plate. The batter was fairly interesting, but not something worth having again, but the price. And comparatively, when their other menu items are around $4 or $5, the popcorn chicken was definitely not worth it. The bill came out to be a little more than $30! Definitely more than we'd expected for such a place. Yes, the food was on par and we did bring some of it away, but the quality of food and experience was not worth that price. The tiny, cramped restaurant really takes away points from the atmosphere and experience. I'd come back here on if there were no other options nearby and out of pure convenience, but not worth returning to solely for the food/price again. read more

Love the bento boxes and the spicy beef noodles from Papa chang's! Very good prices for the portion and food quality. The beef noodles is delicious. The braised beef brisket is very tender and well marinated. The soup base is aromatic and hearty. Service is very quick too. Take out orders are ready in 10 minutes. Highly recommend if you're looking to grab a quick bite in the neighborhood. read more

In my opinion Taiwanese food is the soul food of Asian cuisine. Street fare is the theme at heart and Papa Chang's does not disappoint! This place is small, but the staff is accommodating so you don't feel awkward going into a packed house. We ordered many items to share including the minced pork rice bowl, pop corn chicken bento box, fried tofu, beef floss pancake and Taiwanese sausage. Everything came within 5 minutes of ordering and all the flavors brings back nostalgic memories of romancing the night markers in Taipei. Papa Chang's is awesome! read more

Always craving Taiwanese food but haven't found a place that does it well. Finally got to try Papa Chang's and it definitely satisfied my craving! Fried fish paste - really tasty snack with a sweet and sour type dipping sauce Minced pork and Taiwanese sausage with rice - excellent flavour, and it goes well with the pickled veggies (important to note that the egg is $1 extra and was a bit over done) Signature beef noodle - very flavourful soup, it had a sweet and savoury taste to it that made it very addicting. The beef brisket was tender. I loved how it came with a lot of veggies! The staff was very nice and kept coming back to refill our tea. Portions were good and prices were worth! Would definitely come again read more

Came here around 8pm this past Tuesday when there was a snow storm warning. Weather was bad but the silver lining is that we got a table right away. I came here 1-2 years back because my sister was raving about the amazing food and more than reasonable pricing. Only stopped coming because my boyfriend insisted that he found a dead bug in one of the dishes we got. I came back Tuesday since I was nearby with a friend and bug or no bug, this place serves some kicka$$ food! Food: 4 stars For the price you're paying, you can't find anything better elsewhere! My friend and I ordered the popcorn chicken, takoyaki, signature beef noodle soup, minced pork and sausage with rice, a tako pancake, and pudding milk tea as dessert. Everything tasted so delicious!!! If you get the takoyaki, there's no need to get the tako pancake because they're basically the same thing but just in different forms. A bit of a bummer that the pudding milk tea doesn't have any pudding. You have to pay extra to get the physical pudding, otherwise it's just powder for flavor. For the signature beef noodle soup, you have an option to have it spicy and that's what we got. It was only mildly spicy. I think popcorn chicken and the minced pork with sausage rice dishes are their most popular items, and for a good reason, they're really good! Ambiance: 2.5 stars This restaurant is very small and it's a bit rundown. It can also get quite loud when it's busy too. I don't find it much of an issue since I'm sure that helps keep the prices low. It's more if a grab and go place. Service: 4 stars The lady serving our table was friendly and refilled our tea immediately after we requested it. She was very nice, have recommendations, and let us know of available options with certain dishes we ordered. Service was better than most Chinese restaurants. read more

I don't know why so many people rave about this place. Sure, the food is ok but for basically small snacks, the prices are ridiculous. Everything is so small that you end up ordering around 3 items per person. You end up paying around $15+ per person for basically snack foods. I came just after the lunch rush at 2pm and all the food we ordered was lukewarm at best. Which makes me think that stuff isn't prepared freshly and is just made in batches and kept warm or reheated. Ok place for a quick snack or small lunch but for dinner, it's not worth paying that much for pre prepared, cold snack foods. read more

This is a great little restaurant. So glad we yelped it. Great service. Big portions for a cheap price.

I went to Pa Pa Chang's because I love Taiwanese food. The prices were okay, and the dishes were pretty yummy. We ordered Intestines vermicelli soup noodle as well as fried intestines and the taiwanese oyster pancake. Intestine Vermicelli soup was pretty good, but my least favourite. It was good to share, but don't order this yourself, it will get slightly too salty. The Taiwanese oyster pancake had a great texture, the potato starch chewiness was great, it just didn't have much oysters at all. For 9.99, I expected a tad more, the ones I get at the Nighmarket (either in Taiwan or in Toronto) was much better. They only serve this from Tuesday to Thursday though, I suspect since it takes a little while to cook. My favourite was the fried Intestines! They were juicy, and delicious, it worked well with the chilli sauce and the pickled sweet veggies. Some pieces were a bit too fatty for my liking, but overall, one of the better places to get fried pork intestines. At 7.99 that's pretty good...I would definitely get this again. All in all, it was pretty good....but I still prefer Mama Bears Taiwanese Cuisine. Great place to try if you need some variety. read more

Came here for dinner. We were seated in a timely manner. Restaurant was small and cozy and looked family-owned. Taiwanese food is not really my cup of tea but I thought I would try another restaurant hoping you would change my mind. I order the takoyaki, chicken skewers, pancake and beef noodles. Prices of the foods were kind of expensive for the amount that you got. Sadly the takoyaki, chicken skewers and pancake all had the same topping on it. Mayonnaise and wasabi. The takoyaki and pancake were on the oily side. Beef noodles were sweet and salty because of the preserved vegetables on it but the noodles were okay. This restaurant usually caters to the younger crowd as it mostly has street food and bento boxes. I personally would not come back for personal food tastes. But a good concept overall. read more

If I could give this place a 0 star, I would - but unfortunately Yelp won't let me. On second thought, I wish I could actually give it a -10. The customer service here is disgusting - one waitress with the horribly dyed red hair needs to work on her attitude and needs a total attitude revamp. Our entire party didn't arrive all at the same time - we left our phone number and had no problem waiting as we understood that they would want to seat other customers first. Long story short, the customer service here is atrocious. The waitress with the short boyish cut hair actually allowed us to sit and look through the menu - but her coworker with the attitude issue had reprimanded her for doing so. The waitress with the disgusting attitude kept barking at us saying we weren't allowed to sit and that we weren't allowed to order as the entire party hadn't arrive. She was slamming plates and cutlery on the table - the entire time giving us a death stare and was clearly upset that the other waitress had let us sit. I had about enough and left with my friends. Why would I give a place like this any business that they shouldn't deserve - it wouldn't sit well with me that I would give them even a cent. If your customer service sucks, it doesn't matter how good the food is. Should consider training that woman to crack a smile - and to make patrons feel more welcomed instead of acting like she's miserable the entire time. Makes for a really hostile and uncomfortable environment. Would NOT recommend Papa Chang's to anyone. read more

I grabbed take-out and ordered rice with minced pork $4.50, bento box with popcorn chicken and a bento with pork cutlet for less than $7 a box. Looks are deceiving...there is a lot of food in those take-out containers! I enjoyed the variety with the braised cabbage, bok choy and tofu. I found the quality comparable to food court food so the price was appropriate for what I got. It makes for great take-out or a casual dining experience. My only complaint was that the popcorn chicken could have been more crispy and I was super thirsty afterwards. I will order from them again when I'm lazy to cook. Happy eating! read more

The good: the price is probably the best part of this restaurant. I was highly recommended to come here after trying mama bear for the first time (it's hard finding a good Taiwanese restaurant). However... The bad: I didn't enjoy it as much as I did with mama bear. First let's start with the popcorn chicken. It wasn't as crunchy, as flavourful, or as authentic as the ones I tried in mama bear - mind you it's good but not great. The rest of the dishes were forgettable. One unique thing though is that they did have a traditional Taiwanese glutinous meat dish - this isn't something you would find normally even in Taiwanese restaurants. I am glad that they had it, but it wasn't as good as the one I tried in bubble republic (which unfortunately they have taken out in their menu). The ugly: ugh I hated their service. They didn't offer a table because we were missing one person. Luckily we got a table before the huge dinner rush came in. Portions are smaller than expected. Neutral: as mentioned above, there is usually a dinner rush so be sure to be early and grab a table. Good for smaller groups as there isn't much space. Great for takeout. read more

It can get quite busy during dinner on the weekends so make sure to come early, or they do take-out as well! read more

Yummy Taiwanese food! :) Although the place is small, their food makes up for it. The tables are close together so it's probably best if you go to this restaurant in small groups. I'd recommend the dried pork meat pancake, the popcorn chicken & the fried shrimps. I really wanted to try the oyster pancake but every time I go, they're out of stock :(( I'll come back to try other things on the menu for sure! I find it so funny how the cartoon version of Papa Chang is actually kind of similar to how he looks like in person... LOL.. He's a buff chef hahaha!! Take a peek! They have a big window to view the kitchen LOLL read more

I haven't venture so far east for a while but heard so many good things about this place and I was in search of a good bowl of Taiwanese Beef Noodle for a while.... Papa Chang's do indeed deliver and is now my fave spot for a yummy bowl without the stinky tofu smell that I get at my previous fave Taiwanese Style Meatballs $3.49 ~ This bring back so many memories, used to eat that back in high-school at bubble tea places. ~ It's just minced meat wrapped in a sticky glutenous layer which has a chewy texture... just love it. Bon Bon Chicken $4.49 ~ DF chicken skewers Signature Beef Noodle Soup $5.99 ~ Not sure if they make their own noodle but love the soup, the beef and even the house made Chinese Pickled Veggies. ~ Love the homey feel of it, the soup wasn't as salty as most places but still packed with flavors. Taiwanese Pancake ~ This was just a sticky globe and neither of us like the texture or the taste Deep Fried Pork Belly $5.99 ~ This was so crispy on the outside and still very moist inside but not oily at all while still having the yummy texture of the pork belly fat. And what a deal :) Meat Floss Pancake $4.26 ~ It was some sort of egg pancake, very soft and moist but rather bland after the stronger flavors of the previous dishes. Taiwanese Pineapple Cake ~ This are made in house which I have never seen in Toronto Verdict : ~ Will def go back soon for the Beef Noodle and the DF Pork Belly ~ Cheap and satisfying ~ A bit far but well worth it (^_^) ~ Says fusion but think it's pretty traditional Tawainese read more
