Been wanting to try out this place for awhile. Paid a visit last sunday for lunch and was quite disappointed.
My boyfriend ordered the minced pork belly on rice, it was ok nothing special.
I ordered the 3 cup chicken rice ($10.99) - which had all the matching ingredients and flavor, but i found it slightly too greasy. I know that's the style of the dish, but it was too oily for my liking.
We also shared the salty fried popcorn chicken ($8.99) as a side which was not good - i've had better. It confuses me a little though how they charge $8.99 for the fried chicken, but if you wanted it with rice like a meal they still charge you $8.99. hm?
One thing that really bugged me was our bill came to $29.69 - I didn't have change so I paid $35 (a $20 bill, $10 bill, and $5 bill). Obviously, the intent was for them to break the $5 bill. Turns out the waitress came back with a $5 bill and 31 cents.
...
I don't think they are stupid and wouldn't be able to make the connection that I wanted them to break the bill so I'm thinking they did it on purpose (which I know some asian restaurants do) to suggest you to pay more tip. No way i would have gave them $5 tip, so I called the waitress over to break the $5 bill into coins for me. This is a big negative to for me, minus 0.5 star rating giving this place 2.5 rating.
The food was okay but expensive and not worth it. You can find better taiwanese food elsewhere for a cheaper price. Don't think I'd come back.
