Sift through the menu at this family-run Dundas West spot and find an abundance of Taiwanese items made with care. Handmade dumplings and soy-braised pork ear ease diners in before spicy braised beef noodle soup and Taiwanese basil chicken arrive.

Specializing in Taiwanese fusion, this restaurant has locations at Leslie Square and Empress Walk in North York. At both, diners are met with an encyclopedic menu offering dishes as diverse as ox tongue stew, bibimbap, and Taiwanese beef wraps with satay sauce.

At this Yonge Street spot, traditionalists are met with contemporary takes on the classics. Still, faced with dishes like Taiwanese burgers with braised pork belly, deep-fried chicken cutlet with Sichuan pepper, and myriad variations on hot pot, it's doubtful anyone ever complains.

Diners flock to Baldwin Village for this trendy spot's fresh fruit and milk teas and Asian fusion dishes. With options ranging from Taiwanese minced pork rice to curry udon, lunch combos are the type of special no one should sleep on.

If bowls of grass jelly with brown sugar milk tea and icy cups of strawberry snow slush with tapioca distract you from mains at this North York restaurant, don't let them. Instead, begin with Taiwanese popcorn chicken or seafood tofu hot pot with vermicelli before diving into dessert.


Beef Noodle Restaurant

Sheppard Avenue East is home to this simple spot, where beef noodle soup (natch) is the main draw. Also on the menu, you'll find assorted appetizers — from taro paste pies to green onion pancakes — and stir fries, as well as noodle and rice dishes.

Customize to your heart's content at this Koreatown spot, where bento boxes hold an abundance of delicious bites. Choose a main like Taiwanese sausage or braised minced pork, then your preferred add-ons, like mapo tofu, potato shreds, popcorn chicken, or fried squid.
