Really good experience in this restaurant. I am from Taiwan and the foods here taste same as foods in Taiwan. Staffs are really nice people.

I wanted to give it a higher rating because I like the food and want to support a new local restaurant but it closes so early I've only eaten there twice despite having gone there four times. It was my fault the first time because I didn't check their hours so I understand if 8:45 pm is past their last call, but last time I went at 8:20 pm and there was a note on the door saying last call at 8:00 pm. Really? You can't make me a sandwich with 40 mins to go? They officially close at 9 pm but you should really arrive around 7:45 pm so you can order by 8 pm. The restaurant is called Never Too Late but apparently I'm always too late for them...

Edit: still a good place for food with decent portions but a couple dishes fall short. Their fried chicken thigh is nice and crispy but is often a bit overfried and burnt (and bitter). Called in to give feedback but the problem still persists. Their fried tofu is way overpriced for what it is worth. The pork belly rice could be sweeter and more flavourful. Still a regular and a great addition to terra nova.Orig:Decent portions, tasty food, in a cute little cafe setting.

Tasted great. Portion was good for the price. Only thing is that my friend waited a long time for his fish dish. Otherwise, pretty good.

This is a really nice and authentic Taiwanese restaurant!Every dish is delicious.Highly recommend the popcorn chicken.

Waitress was busy on her phone, food is okay but too much sauce, makes it too salty.

This new Taiwanese restaurant opened I think only a few months ago.The impression in the beginning is very positive. The interior is cute and cozy, but I'm wondering why there's only less than 5 tables. Are they mostly doing takeouts?The service is good and the food came out very fast.The food was overall pretty good. The guabao's bread was a little bit too soggy. Deep fried stinky tofy was pretty good and the sausage with sticky rice could go a little bit bigger. The other stuff were overall pretty good.I would recommend this place for sure. Not suitable for big groups. 4 people group max.

I usually don't post negative comments of a restaurant and just put it in my not-to-go restaurant list. But for this restaurant, I recommend you to avoid it.First, unacceptable food quality. The rice texture is funny. Part of it is hard, and the other part is soggy. The smell isn't fresh. Other food we ordered are below average.Second, poor management. We waited long time for our food, but the restaurant isn't busy.We read a few good comments on FB for this restaurant, but it turns out with a very unpleasant experience. If you also read good comments on FB, think twice before you go.

Great variety of food. I would say very authentic Taiwanese meals

We were pleasantly surprised. The food was really good. We had wonton soup, fried chicken steak with soup noodle, pork belly rice, pork belly bao and deep fried tofu. The flavours, presentation and the way the cooked the items were very Taiwanese. The wonton soup reminded me of a place in Hualien where I would get wonton soup. The only thing they can work on is the fried chicken steak. One side of the chicken steak was soaking in the oil in the paper lined basket it was served in. So it wasn't crispy on that side. Service was ok.
