Taiwanese Restaurants in Burnaby, BC

“No. 1 Beef Noodle is a bold name to live up to, but you can’t say they are not in the running. The menu is absolutely massive. The kind that makes you pause and wonder how any kitchen can keep up. Still, the popular dishes we tried delivered. A2 with sliced noodles is a perfect way to break in your first visit, and while this isn’t the place you would expect to go for laksa, theirs turned out surprisingly good. A bonus worth mentioning is the shop next door, where they sell pre-made versions of the restaurant’s dishes for you to finish at home. Honestly, more places should be doing this. With a name like that you expect them to compete and they do.“

“Good food and portions for the price. All mains I believe comes with a free sweetened iced tea. We ordered the beef noodle (they didn’t have the original so we got the tomato broth), as well as the salt and pepper chicken combo with sides. Both dishes were felt very homemade and they were easy to eat and digest. The menu is extensive and there is a lot to choose from for the mains. Space is not very big and it was quite busy when we went on a Sunday for lunch. Lots of people were getting take out too.“

“Ordered garlic cabbage, seafood udon and fried chicken noodle (鹽酥雞麵). Everything tasted super delicious! Staff are amazingly friendly. For sure will visit again🥰 超好吃，員工很友善，很有家的感覺🇨🇦🇹🇼🇭🇰“

“My friends and I have been coming here for years and the food is always sooo good. Our go to order is the chicken nuggets fried rice, fried squid tentacles and the chicken skin! And of course the fluffy butter and condensed milk toast.... Oh my god they are delicious!!!
And on top of that, their service had gotten sooo much better!
We will definitely come back again~♡“

“Friendly service. Great value. Love the pork belly.“

“I must have been there over a dozen times. I tried many things on their menu.
In general their chicken dishes are all very tasty! The beef in the curry beef or the beef noodle are also tender and juicy, however the noodle was less impressive but decent. The Taiwanese style 卤肉饭 was not bad but my friend really dislike the 红烧肉饭。
If I have to complain about something, it’s one of the side dishes in the combo. Boiled broccoli was okay (not a big fan of broccoli either but it’s okay as broccoli), BUT the stir fried glass noodle was …. pretty bad…really. I will ask for two sides of broccoli next time when I order combo.“

“Reading these reviews make me so confused! Maybe it’s because I tried it after they put up the “under new management” sign.

Last week I went to Aroma which is on the opposite side of Crystal mall, and has a much higher rating, and was very disappointed with their popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup.

This week I decided to give Hanju a try, and it was far far better. The chicken is perfectly seasoned with the deep fried basil leaves, and the beef in the beef noodle soup just melts in your mouth. No carrot or radish fillers (the taste is there, it’s just not served as chunks) you actually get green veggies. They have some imported Taiwanese drinks as well.

The price is not cheap, but we would come back for our next Taiwanese food craving, especially with baby in tow. They have some children’s books and the seats are a lot more comfortable and clean than its competitor on the other side of the mall.“
