The 3 cup chicken was excellent! I could return to this restaurant every week to have this dish. Everything we ordered was very good. Service was the best we’ve had in a Chinese restaurant. The interiors are also nicely done, very clean, neat and tastefully done. None of the tacky colours. Between the service and the yummy food, this is a winning restaurant in my books

Came for lunch. They updated the weekday lunch menu (price increased and less options). We ordered one lunch special and one business meal set. The pork hock has a big portion and taste ok. But too many meat for lunch set to me. I prefer the old lunch special quantity. May be they should bundle up another green salad to balance it. For business set, it has the best value if you want to try several things at once. The only cons is the temperature of the food. The soup is just warm. The black garlic chicken soup definitely taste way better if it is hot. Even the white rice is not hot enough. Not sure if I will come back to try other things.

Our servers are John, Romo (hope I remember his name correctly) and Ting. Ting is very friendly and conscientious. They all tried their best to help us to order. We are very particular about no onions and no cilantro. They kept a close eye of our dishes before our food were being brought out from the kitchen. Food is delicious and freshly made. The dishes are quite reasonable size (sorry I forgot to take some dishes before I tried it). The only minor complaint I had is hopefully the eel on the sticky rice be a bit thicker next time, but overall, the other plates are quite filling for 3 adults. We even had some to bring home. We ordered the new combo for 2 which is $60.99 + $10 extra for the Three cup chicken dish and can perfectly fit the three of us. John is very nice to let us switch from Pickles to Squash and highly recommend that squash dish. It's perfect for summer! Anyway, thank you for the amazing service and would absolutely recommend this place to friends and family

Very welcoming owner Matt serving very good authentic Taiwanese food. Lots go for the salt and pepper chicken, the crispy intestines, the eel rice, Taiwanese sausage, minced pork, and they're all good but I'd even go just for their wild mushroom short rib soup which has this deep and very complex flavour almost like an earthy preserved egg flavour but it's not, it's just that good! Modern dining space shared with Green Grotto. 10% off when paying by cash.

All the foods were so yummy! The only complaint is oyster omelette should have more oyster, and the pork feet dish has only 5 pieces. There are a lot of other dishes I would like to try next time!

If you are ever craving Taiwanese food, THIS is the place to go. Their three cup chicken (三杯雞) is a must and minced pork rice (滷肉飯) was so delicious. It is pricey but you definitely get your money’s worth. We also got a couple of extra dishes and we were all so stunned by how authentic the food tasted. Will definitely be back to try their other food. 10/10 would recommend for sure frfr :)

First time here and being Taiwanese, and craving good taiwanese food, we ordered lots of different foods on the menu, from Apps, Mains, Salads, and Desserts. Very good overall menu. Some will minor complain the food has a bit extra pork oil. Besides this , the foods were all very delicious and will be back!

I ordered a set meal for two but was not full. . . The portions of the dishes are really small, the noodles are as big as a palm, and two chopsticks are missing. The pigs trotters are stewed very well and taste good. The three-cup chicken was average. The eel is a bit fishy. The overall price is on the high side.

Stop by for our dinner tonight, we order two noodles, one rice, 3 dishes, one salad, one dessert..for 3 of us. When the young Lady came to pick up the order, I purposely tell her .. Please bring the salad first... Again, same ( chinese restaurant habit)... Our two noodles and rice Came, I told the young waitress, we want to have appetizers first .. Please tell kitchen. .. Then came our chicken and fried oysters... Cant wait, we told the manager, cancel the salad.... halfway into our main course, salad came, we refused. The girl said you want to take out, we said no. After the meals, our dessert did not came for 19 minutes, we have to Shout for help ... One young waitress said, after your done, you have to Tell us, then we will make it. 15 minutes after meals To get the dessert. Going here is no more pleasant experience.

Very disappointed right now. The restaurant has a nice interior and the food tastes good but here s the reason for a bad review: 1. The portion sizes are way too small A 17$ sweet and sour pork looks like the same portion for the same amount of 5$ T&T dish. A 7$ Daami noodle comes in a bite sized portion. Most items are definitely not worth the price. Either give more or charge less. (Items in the photo alone costed around 30$) 2. We came in an hour before closing and we were rushed to order food because they are closing down the kitchen and are no longer making food afterwards. We ordered plain rice to pair with a dish, and they accepted the order. It wasn t until they finished bringing everything to our table before they told us they were out of rice. The whole incident was very poorly managed by servers and it didn t feel like they understood what we needed. Would not be coming back here.

good environment, poor food and no services

June 22, 2024

No service what so ever for this Taiwanese restaurant. I feel ashamed as a Taiwanese on how this restaurant operates. Once we were seated no one greeted us. We had to try so hard for server to come and get us water. Most funny thing is after we gave the order to a server. We then waited for 20 mins with nothing going on. Someone then come by and ask us if this paper is our order or not. Apparently there s a new server that has no clue we have ordered. Can t believe a restaurant doesn t want to serve us and doesn t want our money. At this time, we have been in the restaurant for 45 mins without any food. The restaurant isn t even full is like 20% full and can t believe we are treated like this. Walked out given they clearly don t want our money. Really disappointing experience. We have been to this place for 4-5 times and the service just gets worse and worse. Recommend to not come unless you want a funny experience.

We ate about 100 dollars for 3 people, l gave high % tips. At the end we walk out, my husband went first, he got some all you can take mini lollipops , me and my son want to have some too but the man told us that the old man already took a bunch so you guys not allowed. Later on l found my husband took 3 because he want to give to my grandchildren, eventually the mini lollipops is one dollar for 5 pieces. First my old man did not take much and l think for polite and respectful, the waiter shall be more generous to let us take one rather than stop us to make an embarrassing situation. There is no sign say how many each person can take at all.

Service needed a lots of improvement, wait long time before we can get to order, has to ask before we can have water on the table. Only one out of the four servers will respond to us.

The meal for 2 is great and tasty!

December 22, 2023

I ordered your meal on UBER EAT. When the meal was delivered, half of the meal was missing. There should be two bags but the driver only gave me one bag. I called the store first to inquire and the person answered the phone. The employee told me that he knew there was a bag that the driver had not taken away. I asked him whether the employee gave it to the driver or the driver took the meal himself. He said he didn t do it so he didn t know and asked me to refund the money myself on UBER EAT. , he didn t even apologize, and his attitude was very perfunctory, as if he was in a hurry to hang up the phone. Later, I called the driver to find out whether the employee brought the meal to her, or whether she took the meal herself. She told the employee that at first It was reported that the meal was not finished yet and I needed to wait. As a result, another employee didnt seem to know that the meal was not finished yet and just gave her the bag of meal. As a result, I only got half of the meal. This is not refundable by UBER EAT. Regarding the refund issue, I ordered a meal for two and only got one. I called in the hope that it would be handled properly, but I was told, The store is very busy now and the manager is not here. You can refund the money yourself on UBER EAT! , I would like to ask you whether employee training and the way employees handle customer complaints need to be strengthened? A century-old chain store from Taiwan should not have this kind of service quality. The point is not a low-priced restaurant! I have eaten in the store several times before, and the service inside is really good, but ordering from UBER EAT is also considered your guest! I hope you can improve it, especially the staff who answer the phone need to improve their handling!

The food is not bad but service is terrible. We came in and our waitress didnt give out a menu; thats 15 minutes wasted. We ordered food at 7:13pm. We found out the waitress missed our order for a milk tea, so we ordered again at 7:29pm. Its now 7:45pm and the eel rice ordered at 7:13pm hasnt come. Two tables that came after us got theirs - one even got a second. The milk tea also isnt here and the guys at the counter arent even making any drink. We tried to cancel the eel rice and milk tea at 7:50-8pm. One waiter who didnt even take our order comes over and claimed that we ordered our eel rice at 7:30pm and that it takes 15 minutes to make. He also claimed they dont make mistakes with orders, ironically, this guy was making a mistake right there. He was clearly looking at the wrong time stamp for the bubble tea reorder and not the initial order at 7:13pm. His more competent coworker stopped him from making another comment right then and there. We successfully canceled the bubble tea because 20 minutes later or more, no one even bothered to start making the milk tea. We couldnt cancel thr eel rice. The more competent waiter admitted that they made a mistake with the order because they punched our order in for another table. We appreciated his effort. No complaints about the competent waiter but the other 2 might benefit from extra trainings.

Because Du Xiaoyue has always been my canteen! If you dont have anywhere to eat, go to this place. As a result, I ordered a three-cup chicken lunch box takeout from Uber today, and what was delivered was the chicken with sauce as shown below! I called to confirm because I always thought their food was delicious! The waiter who answered the phone confirmed with me that it should be the same as dining in, but he asked whether you like to eat or not. Anyway, we must be the same. I dont know why yours is different. Not even a single word of embarrassment from beginning to end. I wasnt very angry myself, but I was really angry after answering the phone. I have always felt that their service is very good, but the waiter who answered the phone was really unpleasant.

December 22, 2023

Visited for the first time since we ve heard good things about it from friends and family. Portions of main dishes (noodles and rice) were small even though we ordered large sizes. The waitress made a mistake when ordering our food and ordered something we didn t - they took it back without any apologies and continued to talk and laugh about the situation at the back, speaking loudly as if they didn t care if we d hear them. The item was cancelled and we asked for our bill and dessert. We waited another 15 min or so for the dessert just for the waiter to tell us they haven t started making it yet (tf?) we cancelled that too and left.

Went in a quiet afternoon, no services were provided we had to ask for water. Pricy for its taste and portion, the pork intestine was ok but too oily, three cup chicken was average, eel sticky rice very dry and tasteless, the dandan rich noodle even below average, no taste and the shrimp was cold. I see a lot of great reviews but it personally wasn t my taste, will not come back again

The food here tastes very authentic, but there are not many varieties and the portions are relatively small. If you like to taste Taiwanese food, you can come here, but if you have a bigger appetite or want to try more dishes, this place is not so ideal.

Do all Taiwanese braised pork rice have so little meat?

★★★

December 22, 2023

Braised pork rice (too little braised pork, the taste is generally nothing special) Danzi noodles (The noodles are not my favorite type, too soft. The soup is not bad, the garlic flavor is improved a lot Preserved egg lava tofu (Lava refers to the texture of fried tofu? It does feel like it will explode if you go down on it. It s fried well. But you don t taste the preserved egg flavor? There is a spicy taste, maybe onion? Garlic? Overall, it s a fresh taste and I won t be worried about ordering it again. Crispy chicken with red glutinous rice (When I just made it and took it out to eat, I didn t know what the difference was between the red glutinous rice and the ordinary one. After cooling, you can really taste a little sweetness. The chicken is small pieces, tender enough. Good oil. Crispy taro cake (dry, stuffy, needs to be dipped in sauce to eat. Don t like it Service is OK, things are average The environment feels like I miss returning to Tainan.

Sticky rice infused with soy sauce, shrimp, mushroom which gives it many types of umami, texture was satisfying but eel slices were thinner than I wouldve liked, and didnt feel substantial enough. It tasted like regular supermarket eel.

Be honest we never like bubbles tea. Because. We tried so many store bubble tea like coco or others really disgusting Most of them disappointed. Some of them even made me stomach sick. Since I pregnant really need something to drink. One time was drive by this store. I tried du wu long bulb tea. I starting to really like it. Taste So Fresh Then I became a regular customer. I always requested them make hot instead cold. They always certified me. With good service and professional employees left notes to notify me on cup sometime they ran out some fruits Jelly use something else instead , that is impressive me. So far. They are best tea in Scarborough and Markham area . Wish you guys keeping doing this best services and thanks for take care care of customers needs.

The ingredients are not fresh and the frozen tofu in the Qingdun beef pot is bad. The waiters attitude towards this matter also made me feel a little perfunctory. He didnt even say Im sorry from beginning to end, and finally reluctantly gave us a discount. . This is my second time here, and I thought it was pretty good the first time. I will definitely not come again next time, so disappointed!

Tried out this cuisine for the first time last night and it did not disappoint. When you first walk into the restaurant you can already smell the aroma which made me even more hungry than I already was! We ordered the set for two and there was plenty of food but we really wanted to eat the oyster pancake so we added that on top of the set. The best dish I felt was the eel sticky rice. The favour was so rich and mouth watering and every bite was chunks of eel. The dessert from the set was also delicious with the tofu mixed with tapioca. We will definitely come back to try other dishes soon!

If you are a fan of creative Taiwan style food, this is the place. The food was lightly seasoned, which I liked a lot. I strongly recommend the Kabayaki eel sticky rice and veggie sushi (I forgot the name). I removed one star from the service because they only accepted cash and e-transfer when I visited.

Portions are very small. Honestly the portions they serve are one of the smallest I ve experienced in an Asian restaurant. Food tasted average and nothing stood out to me. If something stood out it s because it was disappointing. Prices are not cheap either. So many good restaurants in this area and I would not come back here.

Delicious authentic Taiwanese food with some acquired taste components from a century old institution! Established in 1895 by a fisherman who decided to pass the time during the rough weather seasons, by selling his own special recipe noodles. This small venture subsequently morphed into an iconic Taiwanese culinary institution that has expanded to dozens of branches worldwide. However, Toronto is their first offshoot in the western hemisphere! To foodie like myself, this is indeed great news. In order to retain authenticity, they have transferred their entire, unabridged menu from their Tainan flagship shop, all the way across oceans and continents, to this GTA outcrop! Lucky us! Nowadays, this legendary establishment has also enlarged their original, century old, noodle based menu to incorporate a whole suite of renowned, traditional, rustic delicacies. Based on their offerings, to the uninitiated, I would categorize their style and format as that of Taiwanese influenced Pintxos/Tapas . With so many alluring must-eat and house specialty dishes listed on their comprehensive, attractive and colorfully illustrated menu. Even taking advantage of our party s big size, our order was nowhere near in covering all the prime menu attractions that we would like to savor! Guess there will be a sequel to this review?! After settling into the quaint and cozy front-of-house and spending quite a bit of time perusing the menu. We managed to arrive at a challenging and difficult consensus with the following order: - Slow braised Pork Hocks in house-special sauce.- Stewed minced Pork in special herb & spice marinade on rice - Iconic House Special Noodles with minced Pork, marinated Egg and Prawn - Special whole marinated Abalone on shell - Drunken ShaoXing wine head-on Shrimps - Traditional 3-Cup Chicken in sizzling hot-pot - Fried mince Pork and mashed Taro cubes - Taiwanese sweet pickled Kim-Chee Salad - Fried Tofu cubes with Thousand Year Egg dressing - Taiwanese fried Oyster and Bok-Choy Omelette Pancake - Tofu, Sweet Red Beans and Tapioca Bubbles in Ginger Syrup Dessert Overall, to most of us, there is no doubt most of the dishes were very good food but some definitely had acquired taste components! The outcome was also quite a pretty divided one, with dishes raved by my wife and son somehow fell flat when eaten and being judged by me. The minced pork rice, noodles and oyster omelet being prime examples. Conversely, the pork hock and shrimp dishes which I enjoyed and found interesting only got luke-warm receptions from them. However, we unanimously agreed that the Kim-Chee Salad, Marinated Abalone, Fried Taro Cubes and Tofu dessert were standouts and absolutely delicious. As for THE dish with the acquired taste, no doubt most of you would have guessed it belongs to the Fried Tofu with Thousand Year Egg dressing! In conclusion, this establishment definitely possessed quite a wide range of interesting, unique and exotic offerings worthy of further exploration and return visits.

I do like their food overall, the down side was the service, if theres any. They are not rude, just careless. Didnt say any word when we got in, didnt say anything when delivering the menu, and of course didnt say a word when delivering the food. They just went back to their counter and looked at their phone. Didnt even bother to say anything when the customers left. Sad to see a good restaurant with poor service.

Loved eating at Du Hsiao Yueh! The Taiwanese dishes were so tasty. We tried Da-A Noodle, Traditional Minced Pork Rice, Golden Fried Shrimp Roll, Braised Pork Intestine, Crispy Oyster Omelette, Fried Cabbage With Sakura Shrimp, and Peeled Chili Pepper Chicken Soup. Everything was delicious, especially the Da-A Noodle and Crispy Oyster Omelette. The place was cozy, and the service was great. I really hope they open a Du Hsiao Yueh in the US so more people can enjoy this awesome food.

Delicious ! came here with my parents on a Tuesday night to avoid crowds and it was a lovely dinner. We ordered the combo for 2 which was a really nice variety of noodle, rice, chicken and dessert. It was enough for 3 people. The noodles were exceptionally tasty and I really enjoyed the Taiwanese pickled cabbage. I loved that the restaurant was clean, spacious and there were many other things on the menu that I would love to try next time! You can also get bubble tea. Staff was also very friendly. I was impressed to see there is a drive-thru as well!

This is my first time to try Taiwanese food with my family. The style is exquisite and slightly sweet. The waiters are attentive and friendly! Book a table a few days in advance, so you don t have to wait for a table on weekends. The environment is harmonious and comfortable, suitable for a family to enjoy!
