Really not suitable for dine-in but when you crave for noodle soup then you would want to eat there I suppose? Such tight space it's only good for a quick hit & run, I mean eat & run; you wouldn't want to stay long for any reason.
The beef noodle soup was quite good, strong beefy aroma, perhaps a little too strong. I still rate it a solid A (Toronto standard only, it's far from the quality bns in Taiwan). I would go back for it when I crave bns.
We also had popcorn chicken (yan shu ji) rice and "lu rou" rice, both of good quality and have "home made" taste and look, it's a compliment, for the record. Keep it that way, it fits the image of a mom & pop shop, economical, good value. -

One star for the fragrant sesame oil that perfected my Taiwanese 3-cup chicken, one star for the fresh basil leaves the were in the sauce, one star for the generous portions, one star for the reasonable price, one star because I love and miss Taiwanese food!
If you want authentic Taiwanese food for a good price, this is the place to get it. NOTE: This is not a sit-down, high end experience. It's 5 stars for being great at what it's trying to do!
YUM!!! -

I feel really sorry for Wiki Star owner when I drop by this tiny little one man operation hidden in a side street off Yonge. Unless you live in the area or one of your friends tell you about it, you will never have imagine a Taiwanese food takeout place will set up shop there!
The owner/cook/cashier is so nice and friendly. He was so flattered when we comment how good his beef noodle soup is! I really like the personal touch when you can have direct interaction to the cook that prepares the food. It feels I like I am eating in someone kitchen. + 1 stars
The beef noodle soup base is excellent (complex tastes you can tell how much work and ingredients he put in order to accomplish that)... but the noodle is really soggy without any bite... The beef is quite tender.
I don't eat Taiwanese Style Chicken too much... so I cannot really comment on that.. The rice is too mushy even for my taste.. especially if you mix it with sauces it is extra mushy.. remind me of baby food.
I will definitely come to Wiki Star again if I'm in the area! BTW, when we were leaving I smell this funny aroma.. he is preparing Intestine Thin Noodle.. hmmm I might have to say NO for that one!

Yay! I'm a fan...
Refers to the Beef Noodle($5.99) I had here, although not perfect it is pretty close to my image of it. One look at this wonder and I knew it was it, the exact same Red BRAISED Soup and Ingredients I had made in the past following a recipe from "My Second Favourite Website".
The only slight dismay was the use of the type of Noodle, no biggy considering this place is a super tiny shop that barely fits a stove. Let's just say what took me 4+ hours to stew at home, I could have easily came here to be just as satisfied in minutes. The Ingredients were fully offered in the Soup and therefore I know the value of this item is worth every penny.
Now to less exciting portion...
The Taiwanese Style Chicken on Rice was a different story. What makes this dish special to me is suppose to be the Basil which when Fried gives off the most amazing flavour and aroma however it was simply added in last second in this dish. The Steam Rice was very mushy and the Chicken and Sauce wasn't that great.
The Pan Fried Egg Cake which is a typical breakfast item in Taiwan was a nice dish to find here that I haven't seen much around. This one is more crispy than the ones I've had so it doesn't register in my head. The aspect I liked from past tasting was that it has a chewy Crepe exterior wrapping an Eggy interior.Listed in: T, Formosa Toronto, Pull My Noodles - Beef Noodles

Thank goodness for Wiki Star, there's not much non-korean food in this area so I'm so thankful for Wiki and the food is great and mega cheap. Get a combo and add just $1 for BBT so awesome. It is a small mom and pop shop so you should probably do take out, however there's lots of random seating around for you to sit, like parks, etc.
