Si Hai
Description
This quaint Taiwanese breakfast restaurant offers delicious food that has garnered a loyal following. Diners rave about the perfectly balanced sweet soy milk and the savory salty rice roll, although some dishes, like the Chinese donut and potstickers, could use enhancement in texture and flavor. However, the service experiences often diminish the overall enjoyment, as staff appear overwhelmed during peak hours, leading to impatience and rudeness. Improved staffing is essential to elevate the dining experience, ensuring that both patrons and employees can thrive in a more pleasant environment. This establishment holds great potential—if only it could better balance its popular offerings with service quality.

The peanut pastries I ordered were delicious sweet buns and the service was quick. Make sure to arrive early before they sell out!
This restaurant is recommended solely for its food quality, as the service leaves much to be desired. The food is decent, but the staff is often overloaded with orders, leading to impatience and rudeness. Due to long wait times and poor customer service, we typically opt to go elsewhere for Taiwanese/Chinese breakfast. The management should invest in more staff to address the constant understaffing issue, as both employees and customers would benefit from a better staffing arrangement. Waiting and receiving poor treatment are not desirable experiences, and customers may start seeking alternatives if improvements are not made.
This is a cozy Taiwanese breakfast spot with a similar ordering process to Chick-fil-A. The sweet soy milk was just right - not too sweet or thick. The salty rice roll with pickles and fried egg was tasty, but the Chinese donut was not crispy. The potstickers were moist but lacked flavor. The daikon cake was overly tough and could use more Chinese sausage. The pork sandwich was decent, but the pork belly was a bit dry. Plenty of room for improvement, but overall, good potential. Keep up the good work!
