| - Went there yesterday for the first time, with a friend. It's a new place and we decided to give it a shot. The service was very good and the employees were very friendly.
We each got the bao special ($5.99), both choosing the pulled pork. Honestly I didn't think it was anything special. It was fairly small and tasted decent, but maybe I expected more flavour. It all tasted fresh which is good, but I wish it was bigger or had more to it.
I got fries as my side. You get a small portion of basic fries. Not seasoned, not spicy, not battered. Just generic french fries, and only like 10-12 of them.
My friend got the carrot ginger soup as his side. He said it was very good, but the portion was a bit small. The presentation was very nice, though.
I liked the cucumber water they have by the register. It's refreshing on a hot day. I liked it more than the Nestea I got with the meal.
Nothing in the downtown core is cheap, so we figured $5.99 was a steal for a combo... but given the portion, in my opinion, it was more of a sampler than anything else. I ended up eating again not long afterwards.
The presentation and design was top notch, and they could not have been more accommodating. I applaud them for that. However, given that I go out to eat for the food, I personally would not return. While maybe more greasy and with less "atmosphere", I can still find places to eat uptown for the same price that offer 2 to 3 times the quantity of food.
This type of fusion food is not for everyone, of course. But if you want something that seems more up-scale without a huge price tag, Tiffany Cafe will satisfy you. There's a good chance you'll find the atmosphere and customer service very pleasing. But if you want to be full, you'll need to order a lot more, so just keep that in mind.
