The portion sizes of the meals are quite large, the flavors are decent, but some dishes are slightly dry or bland. The prices are a bit high, so it's advisable to order carefully based on your appetite.
The restaurant decoration is thoughtful, with better lighting in the front half, creating a pleasant overall atmosphere. The location is convenient, close to the MRT, making transportation easy.
The service process involves ordering via a mobile phone, and when checking out, there is an invoice that includes a charge. An additional 10% cleaning fee is applied, but customers need to pick up their own tea and water. There is still room for improvement in the service aspect.
🚩 Huge Portions for a Satisfying Meal at a Hong Kong-style Tea Restaurant
Vicky Tea Restaurant in the Guangfu area is located in the Daan District of Taipei City, and the nearest MRT station is Exit 2 of the National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, about a 2-minute walk away. There are many restaurants in the vicinity, all with relatively large storefronts and thoughtfully designed exteriors. Vicky’s signature style is a classic Hong Kong design, with dining seats divided into a front half featuring high-backed hard seats for 4-6 people and a back half with regular tables for 2-4 people. The front half has better lighting, and the construction site across the street was quiet during lunchtime.
After being seated by the staff, customers can scan a QR code with their phone to place their orders. The food arrives quickly, and payment is made after dining, accepting only cash, Apple Pay, or EasyCard. The invoice is available, but there is no service fee.
I ordered quite a bit today, and my thoughts on the meal are below the photos ⬇️
In addition to the photos, I also ordered two dishes:
🔸 Shrimp Wonton Noodles $195
It tastes decent but is super large in portion 😂
A girl with an average appetite might struggle to finish it.
🔸 Sausage and Pork Rib Claypot Rice $360
This dish takes a relatively long time to prepare.
When it arrives, the waiter helps open the lid and transfers the sausage and pork rib to another plate.
The rice in the clay pot has a layer of crust.
However, the rice lacked the expected fragrance and the oil wasn’t sufficient,
making it quite dry, which was disappointing.
Overall, the food was acceptable, and the atmosphere was fine. However, with the higher prices and oversized portions, it's advisable to consider your appetite before ordering.
