The food was a bit of a letdown, not worth my $30. The staff were friendly though and I appreciated the cozy aesthetic.

Had some random guy recommend the place while I was sauced up walking around in the area on Halloween night with a belly full of rum. It's pretty authentic in the dishes they serve so for me I kinda stayed in my lane and played it safe lol
I ordered squid balls, fish cakes, a beef and rice dish (forget the name) and pad thai.
The food was great and flavorful, the girls were great in explaining what the different dishes were etc as like I said most of the menu was very authentic and traditional.
If you're a north american Asian food person it might not be for you but if you're like me and enjoy authentic and different food this place is a gem and the girls will guide you in the right choice for your taste
Prices were on par for the quality.

This place was amazinggg!
I went there to eat dinner with my family and the food was deliciousss! It also had bubble tea. We ordered 3 and… muah, they were so gooddd!
Not only that, there’s also a 4 claw machines. They are no scam. I played with the four claw machines and won 3 plushies! A good thing about this place is that each plushie is worth a certain amount of points (from 2 to 25). You can exchange 2 plushies that are worth 2 points for a bigger, better plushie!
The service is also really good.
100% recommend this place:)

Pretty good food here, but don't make the amateur mistake of getting the bubble tea unless you know what you're in for. The atmosphere is great, with nice cozy decor. A good spot for hanging out with friends.
We got:
Braised beef brisket ramen
Katsu ramen
Siu mai

I love their braised beef ramen and their meat dumplings! The peach crush iced tea drink is amazing as well!

Went out for dinner on the weekend. I originally wanted to order fat beef noodles in sour soup, but the lady said they didn't have them today, so I ordered tomato fish fillet noodles instead, which felt like black fish fillets. The soup had ️ kimchi and white radish, which was delicious.
The Japanese curry pork chop rice is also good. Her rice is very good. The side dish of the pork chop rice is a spicy pickle, which is very suitable to my appetite.

Cute little tea house! A short stopped over for some sweet drinks with friends. Friendly service and reasonably priced drinks. A sweet experience.

Awesome meal options at better prices than other Asian places in Kingston (though portions are a little small to compensate). Crispy chicken and marinated minced pork are probably the most authentic Taiwanese you can find in this city.
Edit: Reviewing all my favorites to celebrate the return of my beloved Green Onion Pancakes: although the authentic Asian preparation is pan-fried, I am a convert of their deep-fried version, extra delicious when dipped with the sweet-spicy sauce provided.
Crispy Chicken: fried chicken heavily seasoned with black pepper, great combination with the same sweet-spicy sauce as above.
General Tso's Chicken: fried chicken over rice; their sauce is definitely on the sweet side (and NOT the same sauce as above).
Beef with Rice: sweet-savory sliced beef most similar to a Japanese gyudon (teriyaki beef not oft found in Kingston as we usually see bulgogi, which uses thicker barbequed beef slices)
Special-made Beef with Rice: beef chunks from a "rough flank" cut (similar to the western brisket) braised in a spicy gravy-like sauce.
Marinated Pork with Rice: chunks of minced pork marinated in a very authentic sauce; THE street food staple recreated in Kingston!
Chef Special Fried Rice: great wok-fried dish with sauteed chicken chunks; note - this is NOT the fish-sauce heavy Cantonese variety.
Fried Udon: classic chow-mein type stir-fry but with udon in place of wheat noodles or rice noodles; I like it with beef strips.

Great services and very friendly staffs! They even got a small grocery shop in the restaurant. Great place to kill some time while waiting.
