What can I say? Finding authentic homey Taiwanese food in Toronto is rare and Mama Bear is a very welcome addition. Walking into this restaurant made me feel nostalgic and reminds me of scents of a snack bar in Taiwan.
There were some hits and some misses in terms of food.
The good: wintermelon tea, popcorn chicken, stinky tofu which were fried perfectly!! The set meal with pork belly and bamboo shoots was pretty good. I love fatty braised pork!
Needs improvement: meat ball was tough, oyster omelette was gooey and flavors not there and their new caramel pudding had really faint flavor or hardly any at all.
I heard the beef noodle soup and steamed stinky tofu are good so on my try list. Fast friendly and efficient customer service.
