We only got their fried tofu and their mango shaved ice and mango toppings. They use mango fruit for their shaved ice, so it comes out rich and creamy. So delicious! I've heard good things about their hot foods as well, so we got the tofu to try, and we were pretty happy with it! Must come back to try their other, standard Taiwanese fare like oyster pancake, popcorn chicken, etc. and update. The reason for the one star drop is that for a small, informal place like this, it was still pretty pricy. The shaved ice, with frozen mango topping, was almost $20 alone. If they dressed up their shaved ice more, and added a bunch of things, maybe the price could be justified, but you're definitely comparing that to NYC/LA prices then. However, it's one of the best shaved iced in Orlando (I am Taiwanese so maybe I'm biased for what I look for).

We got the wonton noodle soup, pork chop bento, popcorn chicken and some other items. The wonton soup was so fragrant and delicious. It really was the perfect warm meal. The noodles were chewy and cooked to perfection. The wontons were huge and had lots of filling ! It was so addicting that we got a separate bowl of just wontons. The bento pork chop rice was so good! It had so many items! Loved the cabbage, the pickled vege, braised egg, two slices of sausage, broccoli, and minced meat on top of the rice!! The pork chop was lightly battered and fried! It had the perfect texture of chewy and crispy. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was also really crispy! It was perfectly seasoned and was a great small snack! We also ended the meal with mango shaved ice! This truly was the best shaved ice I've had, you can tell they use real mango for the ice. It was perfectly fluffy and sweet. The mango ice was a must order! The owner was so welcoming as well. The series was so nice and friendly.

If you're craving Taiwanese food, definitely check this place out.

Phenomenal food here…read more Super authentic Taiwanese cuisine that really takes me back to some hot summer days in Taiwan. The popcorn chicken, was so tender that when I went to readjust my chopsticks, the meat had pulled apart. The fried oyster was equally delicious, and came with a seasoning that pairs wonderfully with the two items. The minced pork rice is a personal favorite of mine. A very simple dish, but holds plenty of flavor. The beef noodle soup was pretty good, the noodles were nice and chewy, and had a rich soup. My only complaint is that the beef was kinda dry, and I needed to drink the soup with it to get it down. But it could've just been and odd batch and doesn't represent the quality of the rest of the food that I ate. 5/5 recommended you try this place out.

The fried tofu has a side of chili sauce and pickled cabbage on top that went really well with the dish. We also loved the mapo tofu which is a Szechuan style dish. It has soft tofu mixed with pork and a brown sauce with a little bit of spice. Pairs really well with the white rice. Overall, this is definitely the BEST Taiwanese food in the area!

This did not seem like an isolated accident -- it made me seriously question the cleanliness and food safety practices here. I took several photos of the incident because it was honestly shocking.

The staff is very lively and nice and they are constantly making fresh things. But they do run out so earlier is best. On this visit I tried this beautiful passion fruit mousse cake. It was tart and delicious the outside had a marshmallow like consistency that I was not too crazy about, but overall it was still pretty good.

Snow Tea Caffe is a hidden gem! I've been coming here for a few years for their Taiwanese cuisine…read more I believe this is a family owned restaurant. We usually order at the counter and the staff are friendly and very accommodating. This place is cute and cozy with modern decor and a fun mural. It's clean and offers a chill vibe, and located near UCF. It offers a variety of boba drinks and teas. There's a small food menu but I've enjoyed all the items I've ordered so far. My go-to is the beef noodle soup which is flavorful and simple, yet so delicious. The beef is super tender and the chopped mustard greens elevates the taste. I always get a side of the hot chili peppers which is added goodness! I'm a soup gal so this place is where I like to get my soup fix when the weather gets cold. Another favorite is the fried chicken thighs appetizer. It's crunchy and well seasoned, not greasy. You get a nice portion. I'm also a big fan of the mixed fruit tea with crystal boba. You get your choice of sweetness level. The fresh cut fruits inside is also a nice touch. Every time I stop in I'll see a steady flow of Asian customers, so you know this has got to be authentic. Recently they started offering specials on different days of the week. Hopefully it will bring in more customers. It's worth the visit if you want some Taiwanese comfort food. There's ample parking since it's in a strip mall area.

The golden wontons were on point as usual and they also had the spicy honey mustard sauce. They were a bit spicy with a nice level of heat. The Thai tea was a hit with my son.

The service was attentive, and the restaurant itself is beautifully decorated with an authentic feel and a very inviting atmosphere. I ordered the curry ramen, spring rolls, crispy sweet chili wings, chicken fried rice, and a Nigori flight. The spring rolls were honestly the best part of the meal, crispy, flavorful, and fresh. I also really enjoyed the Nigori flight. The ramen, however, was a bit bland and did not have the rich flavors I usually expect. The wings were a little too sweet and not as crispy as I hoped, and the chicken in the fried rice had a slightly burnt taste, although the rice itself was good. They do have an extensive menu, so I would possibly come back and try something different another time, but this visit just wasn't the best fit for me food-wise.
