Maaaan the matcha drinks were not really it…read more We ordered several drinks and none stood out at all. The mochi is just microwaved and the milk is just dispensed from a coffee machine (i.e, instead of being heated and frothed with the steam wand) - for the price, I expected something more professional. Seems to be more of a food or dessert spot.

All delicious, homey and the best way to represent Japanese Western fusion! The place itself is quite small and only seats when your entire party is there. The service is friendly and genuine.

Let me be blunt: after years of dining across Vancouver, this was not just the worst meal I've had…read moresince moving here--it was a downright insult to my palate, my patience, and my basic human dignity. It started the moment we were seated. Not two minutes in, a surly elderly woman--who I can only describe as the restaurant's self-appointed warden--barked at us to get up and move tables like we were misbehaving schoolchildren. No apology, no explanation. Just pure, unvarnished hostility. We complied, stunned, but the humiliation was only the appetizer. Then came the food, which somehow managed to be even more offensive than the service. Potato croquette (1/5): A greasy, dense brick of despair. The outer shell was so tough and leathery I legitimately struggled to saw through it with my knife. Chewing it was a workout I didn't sign up for. I forced down a quarter before giving up; my friend described it as "eating fried shoe leather," and she wasn't exaggerating. Pork katsu: Dry, stringy, and utterly devoid of juiciness. For a dish that should be crispy and tender, this was a sad, tough slab of over-fried gristle. The pasta on the side was the only redeeming bite on the entire table--and that's faint praise when the star of the plate is a complete failure. Curry steak: Absolutely forgettable. Bland, watery, and uninspired--the kind of dish you'd expect from a frozen TV dinner, not a restaurant that dares to charge real money. But here's where it goes from disappointing to outright repulsive. As I walked to the register to pay--already fuming--that same elderly harpy screamed at me to stand outside. Not asked. Yelled. In front of other diners. As if I were a stray dog contaminating her precious floor. I am a remarkably patient person. I've swallowed bad meals and rude servers without a word. But this wasn't rudeness--this was targeted, xenophobic aggression. I don't throw the word "racist" around lightly, but her vitriol was aimed squarely at us based on nothing but our faces. There is no other explanation for such disproportionate, venomous treatment. Let me be crystal clear: I will never--never--set foot in this establishment again. Not for free food, not if I were starving. The food is mediocre at best and repulsive at worst, but the service is outright abusive. Vancouver has too many incredible restaurants to waste a single dollar on a place that serves tough, tasteless garbage with a side of bigotry. Do yourself a favor: save your money, save your self-respect, and eat literally anywhere else. This place doesn't deserve your business--or your presence.

A cozy Taiwanese family restaurant serving a nice selection of Taiwanese street food and desserts…read more We came here mainly for dessert and ordered the tofu pudding with yam balls. 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.

I was told to either come here or to the other place if I wanted to try this trendy and viral dessert. Rice Holic was a no brainer for me as the other place opened up at 12 noon. The mango mochi was big. It was about the size of a fist. It looked like an entire mango without the seed wrapped in a mochi. It was like how Cantonese people like desserts, not too sweet. It was good. However, I don't know if I would make another special trip for it. I might go for a different flavor. I'd probably come try one of the bento boxes if I visited again because those looked good and were reasonably priced.

I had the breakfast set menu with sockeye salmon and white rice. The fish was cooked perfectly, same for the rice. Portion sizes were absolutely perfect and the Japanese pickles were my favourite. All the dishes the food is served in are so cute which definitely matches the rest of the vibe inside the restaurant. The staff were very friendly, It feels very cozy and homey and there's so much to look at. I will be coming back here and recommending this sweet spot to others for a breakfast in Vancouver!

The menu has shrunk considerably and their business days/hours are also a lot less than what it was previously. The drinks were not as tasty as they used to be. My Blue Rose drink was the best of the bunch and I would say even that was just OK. I enjoyed the Lychee jelly in my drink. That was probably the best part of the drink. The liquid part was kinda "meh" for me. I think the best thing we ordered was the matcha soft serve ice cream. On the flip side, there was a guy playing piano there and they were taking requests. I suggested Demon Slayer and the guy played the famous "Gurenge" song by Lisa from season one of Demon Slayer. That was kinda cool. He was a very good pianist. Great way to liven the atmosphere. Also, there was a guy who came around and gave us all tiny paper cranes. It's nothing much, but still always nice to be gifted with anything at all. Business must be hard for them. It would sure be nice to see them return to how they used to be, with a bigger menu, tastier drinks and more days/hours again. We love this place for the manga/ anime vibes that it exudes, and love the Matcha soft serve ice cream they sell here. Really wanna give this place a higher rating but the drinks were really not up to par this time, and as much as we love the Matcha ice cream, it is not by itself enough to warrant giving out a higher rating. If they could just improve the quality of their drinks again...then even if they menu remains limited, at least if everything they serve is of good quality...that would be enough to merit a higher rating.
