Old Taro is a cozy restaurant offering authentic Taiwanese breakfast and comfort food. The standout dish is the fantuan, a rice roll filled with various ingredients like pickled vegetables, crunchy youtiao, pork floss, or sausage. The rice-to-filling ratio is just right, and the fillings are flavorful, although sometimes the rice may not hold together perfectly or fillings may be unevenly distributed. The popcorn chicken is highly praised for its crispy, flavorful taste reminiscent of Taiwan night-market quality. Other popular items include the rice ball, taro chips, and soy milk, which remind diners of traditional Taiwanese breakfasts. The restaurant features a variety of offerings such as the Crunchy Rice Burrito, sandwiches, and value combos, providing a quick and satisfying meal option. Despite current staffing challenges leading to a "hole in the wall" vibe with some uncleanliness, the food is generally fresh, well-seasoned, and delicious. The service is considered okay, with food arriving in about ten minutes and orders placed via kiosk. Overall, Old Taro is appreciated for its authentic flavors, generous portions, and variety of Taiwanese comfort foods, making it a great place for those craving traditional Taiwanese breakfast and snacks.
