A true Taiwanese restaurant with great prices for a good quality and quantity of food. Their menus do show recommended foods, I suggest you do try them as they are really delicious. I especially love their spring onion pancake. I am taiwanese myself and I have to say it is one of the best.

One of my favourite places for lunch. Great value for money and the food is always tasty. The different types of noodles on offer is a great novelty if you'd like to try something different. Having access to the bubble tea and dessert from next door while sitting down is also a bonus. They also offer little shared dishes or appetisers which I am still yet to try.

Approximate cost: $9

My new favourite place for lunch in the area. Food are cheap, tasty and come in generous portions. Staff were always very helpful and patient when helping my elderly grandmother choose a food item because she is picky and have no teeth.

Their blade noodles are made on premises and have a really nice taste and texture

Drinks and deserts are actually provided by the Bubble Star Cafe which is next door, but the two kitchens are linked

Approximate cost: $9

Small nice restaurant. But gets really crowded on busy nights. Love the milk tea - way better than those in the central. Love the food, most not spicy and nothing expensive. Recommended!!!

This restaurant is probably my favourite place to go for lunch anywhere in Melbourne. Its relaxes, low cost, comfortable and friendly and the food is brilliant.

If you like a substantial meal, i recommend the Mei cai kou rou hui fan (Pork Belly with pickled vegetables and rice). There are many other hearty dishes and also a great range of snacks, soups, side dishes and treats from which to choose. They are licensed and are one of the very few places that serve Taiwan Beer.

Since Taiwan Shao Chi (Little Burke Street) has closed down and Tien Ren's Tea House (Swanson Street) have been taken over by non-Taiwanese people who don't seem to understand Taiwanese cuisine, The Booth is now, to the best of my knowledge, the only place where authentic Taiwanese street fare can be enjoyed in Melbourne.

The milk tea, though nothing special in Taiwan, is really really good by Australian standards.

They would get perfect marks if they didn't always forget to bring me water when I ask for it.
