A Taiwanese snack/bento place have popped up inside the King Square Shopping mall (It's located along 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.

Good Morning - Taiwan Sausage Rice Roll

Stopped by on a Sunday around lunchtime while hunting for a good glutinous rice roll! It's been a…read morehot second since we've had a really well-made one, and this spot did not disappoint. There was no line when we arrived, though we noticed a steady stream of customers leaving with bags of food in hand. My mom got the traditional rice roll, while I opted for the cheese. Both were fantastic! They were almost too hot to touch, a great sign that they were freshly prepared. The rice-to-filling ratio was spot on, and the crispy exterior delivered a satisfying crunch. Don't let their small appearance fool you. These rolls are surprisingly filling! Definitely coming back for more.

The lady working there prepared my order incredibly quickly, and it came out piping hot! I went with the OG version, which came with a crispy fried dough stick (油條), pork floss, and a marinated egg tucked inside. It was delicious, warm, and comforting! My only minor complaint was that the fried dough stick was quite oily, but overall, I really enjoyed it. There are so many other items on the menu that I'd love to try, so I'll definitely be back! One thing to note: the shop is a little tucked away inside Langham Square, so keep an eye out for it. It's listed as "Good Morning", although I believe its Chinese name may be different. Worth checking out if you're a fan of Taiwanese sticky rice!

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.

I like how you can clearly see all the food available on display for you to choose and you can always ask to make sure whether you know what they are. Service was pretty quick and staff are pretty nice as well. Food It's setup line how you would see it in Taiwan. You choose a main and you select your choice of 3 sides. It's about $15 per bento. And they don't skip out on the quantity. I tried the classic popcorn and minced pork with sausage. Usually these are my go to and they did not disappointment. The chicken was very crispy and crunchy while the meat itself was still juicy. The minced pork was consistent and comforting on flavours. As for sides, I usually either do eggplant or veggies. They have egg/tomato and tofu. Their winter melon drink is also a good refresher. Glad to see these type of food available at Yonge and Finch. Perfect for people on the go or needing a quick bite

Every time I stop by Metro Square, I always want to have a lunch box from Chin Yuan pork chop. It…read moreis yummy, cheap, and convenient. At $11.35, you get a very flavourful pork chop, a soy sauce cooked egg, tofu, and plenty of veggies. When ordering, the server will ask if you want it spicy or non-spicy. The spicy version is a little too spicy for me, though the spice is on top of the pork chop, so it can easily be removed afterwards. During lunchtime, there is usually a long line for the pork chop, but the line moves pretty fast. The food court is quite spacious, with plenty of seats, but it can fill up quickly. The service is very efficient.

Good and Cheap Eats!…read more This place is well-known for its affordable options--and it definitely lived up to the hype. It's tucked away in a plaza that was surprisingly quiet, but don't let that fool you. I came here with my husband, and we noticed a board game meetup happening when we arrived, which added a fun and cozy vibe. We ordered the famous pork chop, and it did not disappoint. 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!
