| - The Good: Ah the place that was under construction for almost 1.5 years and tempted all those yonge street bystanders for in all that time. The result? It was worth the wait. First the food, I ordered the signature Meet Fresh Signature cold dish, which includes Herbal Jelly, Taro Balls, Mochi Balls, and cream. I felt it was perfect, it wasn't too sweet, the herbal jelly tasted good (unlike some of the other places), and the mochi was soft. The consistency was great. I highly recommend the signature Meet Fresh Cold dish for those who are indecisive or just want to give this place a try. The menu is pretty big. An added tip, the free mochi is pretty good too. I loved it cause it was free (for their soft opening), but probably would never order if it wasn't, just my opinion :) IMO I would chose this place over ZenQ and mabu station (in terms of a similar dish of the herbal jelly and mochi).
The Bad: I would have liked another cream (they only provided one), I'm sure I could have requested for one, but they got a bit busy (get to that part in a bit). Otherwise nothing bad, but...
The Ugly: The wait time is long. The order time was quick and easy, but just waiting for my dish took close to 45 minutes (granted my dish seemed pretty standard to make). However, to give them the benefit of the doubt, it was a soft opening, they are still getting things into a normal procedure, and of course their staff is new.. so, I expect this to be less of an issue in the future. With that being said...
Extra tip: ... I would definitely come back to try their other dishes (and on the meantime update my review). Expect long waits for your food to come. There is an upstairs section, which has a lot of seating. They would kindly ask you to go upstairs to wait for your food there (first floor is more for those going in and out or waiting to order). Price wise, I think its pretty average ($8.70 for my signature dish), which isn't over the norm. Enjoy!
