The chicken was fantastic, although the portions were smaller than expected and definitely a bit pricy. We paid about $16 for a plate of chicken tenders and a bubble tea. Will have to try their other food soon!

I recommend their actual bubble tea (not fruit smoothies, tea), their tea is brewed to an appropriate concentration, meaning you could actually taste the bitterness and other flavors of the tea,instead of just milk alone.You could also order without ice to increase the amount of drink you get. The fruit flavored ones are mostly made from powder,not fresh fruit ,which I dislike but I'm sure others don't mind .I haven't had a chance to try their food,but their milk teas are great.

I devoured them all the way to the last crumb - they were wonderfully salty and definitely not the healthiest choice, but totally worth it. The mango paradise bubble tea with tapioca was quite sweet, but incredibly refreshing. I also tried the no. 34 hot instant noodle soup, which was equally delicious. I will definitely be returning!

The bubble tea here is generally great and to be honest I am very loyal to my milk green tea-half sweet bubble teas so I can’t really comment on their range of offerings. However, I will say that I love their snack selection here. A few favourites are their Taiwanese fried chicken 鹽酥雞 and fried chicken hearts. The Taiwanese chicken tastes just like something that we would’ve eaten in Hong Kong in a cafe, great crisp and just the right amount of seasoning. The chicken hearts, well I just really like it because it brings back memories from when I was younger and used to eat these all the time. Plus honestly, where else could I get this in Calgary?!
