| - Not a bad place for the price. The food wasn't super memorable. Yes, it's traditional to a certain degree, but definitely not up to the standards of what you get in Taiwan.
First order up, sausage & pork with fermented cabbage rice. Sausage was good, but not the best. The minced pork wasn't marinated really well and just not done the way they do it in Taiwan. I could taste the freezer taste of the meat. But for $4.50, you can't expect too much, I guess.
Second order, special house beef noodle. Too sweet for my taste. Beef was not tender, and it was also a bit dry. But again, for $5.99, you get what you paid for.
Third order, shrimp wonton in soup. The shrimps was not fresh. They didn't bother taking the "long-black-intestine-looking-thing" out of the shrimp, and that is my pet peeve!!! But hey, for $3.50, you can't complain much.
I can see why people would like this place. It's cheap, fast, and you get sizable portions. But definitely not "good" or "fresh" quality food. I guess I'm picky. Where cheap Asia street eats taste already pretty amazing.
I came thinking there was a hidden traditional Taiwanese jewel gem hidden outside of Toronto, but sadly, disappointed. I don't think I will ever make that 35 min drive out here again for the food ever and settle for Tai Ping Hsiang instead, at MetroSquare.
