What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Just got an eel bowl for 29$ and the eel is completely undercooked to the point that I can’t even eat it with a steel fork. It’s hard as rubber and inedible. What a waste of money"
"Great option for lunch if you’re at the office! We got the braised pork over rice ($15~) & the pork burger (~$8)."
"As a Chinese, I enjoyed the wonton soup here. Might be back for other dishes. The staff is super nice. The dining room is like typical deli style. There are mini Chinese markets by the kitchen area."
"I stopped by this cute little café today after my dentist appointment. The two ladies that were working were both super sweet and kind. The bread on this vegetarian sandwich is so soft and delicious. You can really tell that they put love into the food and drinks they create. I’m so happy I found this place! Their prices are totally affordable too."
"This place reopened under new ownership in September 2024. Still the same great sandwich shop and some new things. They’re open for breakfast now! Right now they have fresh made Chinese egg tarts that are awesome"
"For lunch this past Sunday, a few of us stopped by Paramount Cafe since they actually have 卤肉饭 (Taiwanese braised pork over rice) here. Who knew that there..."
