Review from Rainie L.

My family has been getting Taiwanese lunch/dinner boxes from here for the past 10 years or so. We don't frequent it often because we have a wonderful cook at home but when she is on her day off, we come here. This is really a take out space. They only have three tables there and it's usually busy around dinner time with a long line in a crammed place so it's not very pleasant to have sit down dinner there anyways.
We always get their fried pork cutlet (pai goo fan). Fried pork cutlet is very tender, flavourful and they cook it made-to-order style. Also tried their three cup chicken which comes out of the freezer and into the microwave, then into my box. Doesn't taste anywhere close to the real deal.
For the side dishes, you have three choices. They have various stir fried dishes including green beans, eggplant, cabbage, brocoll, some tofu dishes including ma-po dofu, and some chunky pork with fat trimmings. Then they top your rice with minced pork and jus - either spicy or non spicy.
Prices are reasonable - usually 6-8 bucks pre tax and includes either turnip soup or can of pop. -

My friend introduced me to TPH and just fell in love with their food.
Every item I tried so far was very flavourful and filling.

Deep Fried Pig Blood and Fish Cake?
Deep Fried Popcorn Chicken?
For sure you can find Taiwanese's delicacies here at Tai Ping Xiang that reminds you of your trips to Taiwan!
The setting of Tai Ping Xiang is just so primitive... a self serve fast food place with minimum seatings to encourage you have everything to go..and their lunch boxes are designed for this sole purpose, take your food and eat them somewhere!
The server/cashier was just so nice and friendly... I ended up letting her pick my 2 sides that went with my popcorn chicken..
Popcorn chicken is really crispy, really light!! and they were made to order.. not sitting under the heat lamp for anytime at all. Well seasoned with a nice peppery taste.. I have to confess "I LOVE FRIED CHICKEN!" and I am proud of that!
Deep Fried Pig Blood and Fish Cakes were both A-OK!! Great snacks and with them served in cute girlie paper bag to go... make it a really Asian night market street food experience!!!

I'm pretty sure they changed owners. The new owner who is manning the front now is RUDE and the food is no longer as tasty. The woman gave me a nasty face when i asked for an extra pair of chopsticks and asked us to clean our own tables and leave so other customers can sit.
WTF
Worst part is that the food is all dried up now, like everything was severely overcooked. I am soooo freaking disappointed.

edit: apparently the owner has not changed. the food still is not as good as it used to be, but until i find an alternative to their popcorn chicken, i'm gonna have to stick with eating here at least once when i come back to the t dot.Listed in: Places Caleb W. went with me, East End of the 905 and North…, Toronto Musts - DO and EAT

Man I have trouble going into this restaurant. The smell is just bad, like stinky tofu. When I went there the last time there were basically no seats so I decided to go somewhere else instead. I'll try it out again if I ever get the nerve.
