Huge menu. Please check if they're debit only because if I recall correctly, they are. Despite having a huge menu, really look for the customer favourites. I ventured away from my typical spicy peppery chicken fried rice to have a soup and it was really rather boring. Their bubble tea (slush only I think) is also really cool in that they make a spectacle out of it - they stack it so high!! But the flavour can vary and I recall the tea tasting quite watered down. It's a lot like the Bubble Worlds that serve food but a notch below. Worth the try.
My friends and I were EXTREMELY satisfied with the service at The One restaurant. I have food allergies that are hard to avoid and they went above & beyond to make sure I had something to eat!!! My favourite was the beef onion pancake and the grape slushie!!! THANK YOU!!!
• CASH only or I think they accept Debit cards now
• limited parking space
• busy little place
• Taiwanese style food, I love it
• lots of choices for rice, noodles, soup, bubble tea
• SHARE the bubble tea, I tell you! Servers will say that its for one person, no, it is not, it is huge!
• Their bubble teas are just ok for me, the “fresh” ones doesn’t taste fresh for me
• soups are good, set meals are perfect for one
• service is good, fast and efficient for the most part
I love the bubble tea from here. They really fill it all the way to the top like a mini mountain in a cup! It's tastes really good and the food is also pretty good too!
Great place to come to! Had some pretty great food here! As well as yummy and huge bubble tea! The staff is fast and friendly! Great place to come with friends
Been into this restaurant twice already. Their fried rice is great. I love the chicken skin and squid tentacles. Service and the place is good. I like the interior. Price is okay. Next time I will try their hotpot.
There aren’t Two Restaurants or Three Restaurants, there’s one, just one! Given its proximity to a now favourite karaoke hangout, some friends and I decided to hit up the One Restaurant, given the somewhat decent reviews that it’s gotten online!. I chose to give the Deep Fried Chicken Nuggets Fried Rice (10.99) a try! I found that the batter was on the thicker side and was crunchy but was a bit bland. The fried rice had a ton of black pepper and was quite flavourful but was a bit on the greasy side. The service was decent here, though it took a damn long time for drinks to come.
This place is very cool if you're looking for a HUMUNGOUS bubble tea! Definitely good for the snaps. Their deep fried chicken nugget fried rice is also what they're known for. So if you go here you've got to try it! On the down side the service kind of sucks and it's quite cold in their so bring a jacket! But I always go back and recommend it to everyone. Overall the food is great! So they're doing something right :)
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
After a heartbreaking experience at Ali Shan Restaurant 阿里山品味餐廳, I needed something to overcome the heartache. Something that better resembled the classic "railroad bento 鐵路便當".
After a quick search of local Taiwanese joints, I settled with The One Restaurant 美味關係. Okay, I admit, I was a bit skeptical about coming here. You see, our last visit (which was our first) in 2010 was not very pleasant. While a few dishes were somewhat decent, the horrendous service made the whole experience miserable.
Now, six years later, before walking into the restaurant, I have told myself to stay calm. Yes, Buddha Girl, stay calm. Things could have improved since 2010. And if not, just sing, "Let it go, let it go..."
For $4.75CAD, my large order of Assam Black Tea 阿薩姆紅茶 was, in deed, a large cup. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this was served in a 550ml beer mug?
Anyhow, while the tea was bold, the Assam tea taste was a bit off. Perhaps the supply source was weak? I requested less sweet but it was still a bit too sweet for me. Next time I'd try it half sweet.
At $4.50CAD/order, The One Green Onion Egg Roll 香蔥蛋餅 had decent amount of scallions but the egg was too overcooked. The dough was quite thick and the drizzled sauce was overly salty. No improvement since our first/last visit.
I was satisfied with my $10.75CAD order of Taiwanese Railway Style Sausage with Rice 鐵路香腸便當. I know, I know, this did not truly resemble the classic "railroad bento 鐵路便當" because the sides were on a separate plate instead of presenting everything in the tin box. But hey, this was a lot better than Ali Shan Restaurant 阿里山品味餐廳, right?
The round tin box had two links of Taiwanese sausage on the top tray while the bottom level had white rice topped with pork meat sauce and accented with Chinese sauerkraut (aka. pickled mustard greens).
The sausages were plump and savory with just the right amount of sweetness. Of course, the links here couldn't really go wrong, unless the kitchen does something funky with it. The sausage links are made by the famous tea duck supplier. Those who have followed our blog for years would know what I'm talking about...
The pork sauce had a higher ratio of lean meat with an one-dimensional flavor of soy sauce. This lacked that fundamental sweet aromas of cinnamon and shallots.
The sides were simple so nothing much to comment about.
The tin box was a special edition sold to the public to celebrate 123 operating years of Taiwan Railways Administration 臺灣鐵路管理局.
I had two take-out items for Buddha Boy. The first was Meat Sauce on Steamed Rice 台式滷肉飯 for $8.75CAD. Any difference between this bento and my railway box? This had no sausage links and one side dish was different.
The Deep Fried Chicken Nuggets 鹽酥雞 was the second to-go item. This had sizeable chunks of chicken that were lightly coated and well fried. Gentle use of five-spice blend mingled gracefully with basil. While this was a good improvement since our first/last visit., for $7.50CAD/order, this was expensive.
Service was much. much, much, much, much better than our first/last visit. Maybe because I visited during off-peak hours?
With a baby in carriage, the servers were accommodating and told me I could sit anywhere. Hey, that's a good start. Throughout the meal, servers came and checked on how I was doing. Empty dishes were collected promptly and hot tea was regularly replenished.
After this experience, I'd return again. Hopefully it's not just a one off.
Portions are big, prices are reasonable. More importantly the food tastes authentic. I'm a fan of their fried rice and noodles. The giant slush drinks are a must try.
Jeeeeezzzzz! This place hits the spot! Our friend introduced this to us and it didn’t disappoint. The chicken nugget fried rice is a must. Between 8 people, we got two of the chicken nugget fried rice, a seafood fried noodle, two fried squid, one chicken knee cap and one eggplant with ground pork. It was the perfect amount of food and everything came out so quickly and was so delicious. AND we split everything and in total everything cost $16/pp after tax and tip, which for dinner, is impossible nowadays! Don’t sleep on the knee caps. The mango slush was a banger too.
Use to come here all the time. The food is still good and they take credit cards now when back in the day it was cash only. This establishment has been here for a long time. Would be cool if they updated the interior a bit.
Decided to try The One for the first time in 2 plus years on Saturday March 19th, 2022. Was hesitant because of past reviews.
Went for an early dinner because place can be quit busy during dinner time. Well place was still clean and bright, service a bit slow as expected but the food was great! Presentation was good and bug portions. One plate of fired rice can literally feed 3 plus people. We had their popular Chicken Nugget Fried Rice, Fried Squid, order of XO sauce fried beef noodle and couple of other dishes. Also had their popular slushy drinks. Drinks are literally towers of slush. We ordered lychee slush, mango slush and coconut pinnapple slush. All 3 were loaded with flavor as we remembered.
Dinner was great and very affordable for families! Service even though a bit slow, workers were friendly and polite. Must try spot for everyone.
One of the best Taiwanese restaurants in Vancouver. Authentic is the key! Their popcorn chicken is perfectly made, braised beef noodle soup was delicious as well as all the other dishes we tried. Chocolate smoothie also highly recommended.
The restaurant motto is “The one and only”, yeah they might be the one and only Chinese restaurant that serves EPIC portions. The fried Taiwanese popcorn chicken is literally the size of your fist. It reminds me of how French restaurants use a mega plate with a tiny piece of duck in the middle, well this restaurant will fill that plate up with food and then some. I swear the chefs are trigger happy. Come here if you love strongmen-size portions. I’m done ranting.
seems like prices jump another couple dollars everytime i visit. seems like this has led some to try other places instead. food and service are still great but geez these guys look overworked i hope they're okay.
