The restaurant was pretty small, so you'll need to go to the common space to eat. There are about 4 tables on the second floor in the common area but there are benches throughout the mall for you to sit at. I was the first one there to order the rice rolls and no one was around, however she forgot my order. But I do appreciate the quick turnaround when she realized that she forgot my order.

This is a little nook in the corner at Langham Square. We came on a Sunday morning so there were…read moreplenty of parking. To get to this store: take the escalators to the 2nd floor, turn left and go all the way to the end of the hall, turn right and go all the way down. It is the 3rd last store on the left side. Ambiance: 4/5. It is a 1 person store. The owner has another store across but it's really just a storage unit. She's usually deep within the store making food so you'll have to wait to catch her attention. There is a large menu outside along with 3 breakfast combos near the cash register. I missed those because I wasn't looking up. Service: 3.75/5 - we were the first one to order. More people came after us. She told us 10 minutes so we walked around while we waited. When we got back, there were more waiting but she gave an order to someone that ordered well after us. After we spoke with her, she realized she forgot our order. It took another 10-15 minutes to make. Food: 4.5/5 - we ordered the traditional rice roll ($8) with soy milk ($3). On first glance, it looked small. It has some weight to it and it felt very hot. When you bite into it, it's warm. There is a very crispy fried dough fritter in the middle. It also came with preserved/picked vegetables and a Tawianese sausage. Definitely don't unroll the cling film wrap all the way or it'll be an even messier eat. I liked that there was a lot of filling and the rice around it was a thin layer. It is small but mighty! I'm surprisingly full from it. The soy milk is fine, it tastes unsweetened. Overall: 4/5 - I don't mind coming back and trying the other options (more varieties of rice rolls, appetizers, desserts, baos). I just hope she doesn't forget our order next time.

It's a bento place, so everything comes in a Bento box. You pick your main meat and then a couple sides. Good portion of meat, very flavourful. The sides are also quite filling. Definitely a convenient meal to take out.

They didn't have enough food warmers, so the noodles were not hot, but we still liked the noodles…read more For the bentos you can choose 1 kind of meat and then 3 kinds of none meat dishes, that included the fried eggs and mapo tofu. Both pork belly and pork hock meat were tender and full of flavour, well balanced taste with more savoury than sweet tone which I liked. Mapo tofu was spicy but not numb which is my preferred choice. The fried eggs were tasty too. The eggs were cut into rectangular pieces. Service was fast as it's really a fast food style, the window seat freed up so we moved there. It's a small place, only 3 or 4 sets of table. Each bento set is $15, lots of food so I still think it's a good deal.

The serving area is also kept mess free and clean.

Apparently this is a very famous restaurant in Taiwan so it's great that we can try it here in Toronto! My Taiwanese friend did the ordering as she was familiar with the popular dishes to try. She ordered two lunch specials. One lunch set was a little pricier for about $25 but if you pay cash there is 10% off on this item. This lunch set was really worth it as this combo included 6 side dishes, a main dish with a soup or milk tea...and for the main dish, you could choose Danmi noodles or Minced pork rice and we picked the noodles since we got the Pork Hock & Minced pork rice for our 2nd lunch set. The two of us shared all the items except my friend insisted that I have the marinated abalone side dish and this was so good! I will definitely be coming back because of this dish! I also liked the Danmi noodles and Pork Hock. Although the food was amazing but the service was lacking. It wasn't busy when we got there just before noon on a Wednesday and we had to wave the staff for help several times and the staff didn't even take our order correctly as we had asked for two tea and they only brought one. I will still be back as the food was really good and I love Taiwanese food!

We ordered a small beef shank noodle soup (each), a plate of stinky tofu and Taiwanese-style kimchi to share. Not only did it hit the spot, we had tons left over and packed it to go. Portions are very generous. I like this restaurant for many reasons: 1. SPOTLESSLY CLEAN down to the condiments on the table. The restroom was gleaming, it was that spotless. These things matter! 2. Very low ballad music barely audible; 3. Quiet ambiance; 4. Food is not fatty and tastes "clean". The menu is short, but on a cold, blustery day it provides all the good elements of a bowl of comfort in a quiet, pleasant environment.

A Taiwanese snack/bento place have popped up inside the King Square Shopping mall (It's located…read morealong the same side as VeryGood Congee and Fried a Chicken or the public washroom). Its name is Xin Yi Snack. I find their restaurant name rather odd considering Taiwanese people would rarely use pinyin for their English name or simplified Chinese in their Chinese name. It's takeout only and you can tell that they are somewhat emulating the Tai Ping Hsiang business model. However, food wise, it's of lesser quality then the aforementioned. Value wise, it's there. For $10 or so, you get a choice of meat; I chose the Taiwanese braised pork. And you also get a choice of two sides; I opted for fried egg plants and potatoes. The value is there, but the quality is just..ok. In these times of inflation, you can't really complain about the portion or the price. But, I've had better Taiwanese bentos. The braised pork had soy flavour and definitely star anise, but it's lacking a bit in other spices. A slightly thicker sauce and the use of dark soy would definitely help with the compatibility with the rice and presentation. Same issues apply to the egg that came with the meal. The sides were ok. But I think they could have marinated the eggplants more to minimize that weird tingly feeling that you get from eating 'under treated' eggplants. I also thought the potato could use a bit more sugar and/or salt. Rice was on the slightly hard side. If you are hungry and seeking value, Xin Yi Time can be an option for you. But, just don't be too picky.

It's tucked away in a plaza that was surprisingly quiet, but don't let that fool you.

It was incredibly light, juicy, and full of flavor--we cleaned our plates in no time! When the staff asked how spicy I wanted it, I said "mild" and was given a chili sauce on the side. I love chili sauce, and this one was very spicy--just the way I like it. This is definitely my new go-to spot whenever I'm craving a Taiwanese-style lunch box. Highly recommend!
