Food: Sturdy servings but lackluster zest

Yi Mei's Purple Rice Roll with Sour Pickle & Egg & Sausage and Taiwanese Rice Roll are touted for their satisfying sizes and authentic taste. Menu variety is also commendable with traditional Taiwanese or Hong Kong favorites. However, diners found the creativity lacking and the taste was split; some found the food to be flavorful while others found it lacked flavor or were mediocre. Freshness was similarly inconsistent.

  • Great Value

    Super affordable prices, great taste, and excellent food quality.

  • Okay Taste

    Food received mixed reviews, some tasty, others lacked flavor or were mediocre.

  • Not Creative

    Classic menu items lack innovation, offering typical, unoriginal dishes instead.

Vibe: Squashed ambiance

The ambiance of the restaurant has drawn criticisms from diners, with overhead vents cluttering the space and making the place feel somewhat overcrowded. This negatively impacts the overall vibe of the restaurant.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Presence of vents over tables makes place feel somewhat overcrowded.

Perks: Surprising spaces, parking perfections

Ample, free parking - both surface and underground - and the ability to comfortably seat large groups are positive aspects of the restaurant. However, potential reservation issues, causing unnecessary waits, and an overcrowded sensation in the outdoor seating area - thanks to those overhead vents - draw back the overall appeal significantly.

  • Easy To Park

    Ample and free parking, both surface and underground, noted by many.

  • Okay Service

    Service varies by day; sometimes quick and friendly, other times slow.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Overhead vents make outdoor seats feel overcrowded, diminishing appeal.
