Omnivore — Restaurant in Neihu District

The second time we visited here, the name changed, tho it seems like the same shop.

The food was decent. But for the price I would expect more than just a few soggy fires as a side dish.

The service wasn't terrible, but the workers all seemed either sick or terribly unhappy and it was obvious. I always hate being in a restaurant where I feel like I'm a huge inconvenience for the workers.

The atmosphere is also fine except the fact that the bathroom door looks FILTHY. Like, it's never been washed or wiped down. The lighting is also more like a night club than a brunch cafe. Maybe to hide the dirt? Little things like that can really make someone feel uncomfortable in your space. And for the cost of the food I'd expect more care to be taken.

The food is enough to want to return, but everything else makes me feel...

We have eaten here and at the Tianmu location a few times. I liked the food. But I was a little perplexed when we walked in at 8:20 to learn they apparently stop taking orders at 8:00pm. That seems early when the restaurant is open until 9:00. We could’ve gotten something quick and been out by 9, but I think the staff members must’ve wanted to leave. In my opinion a restaurant trying to be western should act as so. I’d never be turned away 40 minutes before closing. I understand if we were trying to stay past 9:00, but we weren’t. Anyway, we might still come back- just suggest you make it clear online the “last call” for...

I just cannot let it go… 太誇張了～

I understand small businesses need to profit (and rightly so) but this price gouging and nickel and diming is ridiculous.

To say thanks for supporting “small local business” as a way to appease customers who feel ripped off…frankly, it’s gaslighting.

The owners are business people. 他們賺很多錢，不要搞錯哦！😂 It’s rare to feel ripped off in Taiwan, and yet here we are.

Avoid!!

Note: 200NT minimum per person, 10% service charge. Pretty 誇張 for a tiny cafe in the middle of nowhere Neihu without the high rents of Xinyi, Daan etc. Oh and they charge 10NT more for a cold latte versus hot one. 😂...
