Aroma Eatery

At the outside part of the Crystal Mall, though not the easiest location to find, there is this cozy little Taiwanese eatery. Upon my first visit, I tried their two-person combo priced at $38, which includes four dishes, two iced black teas (or miso soup), and two bowls of rice. Everything tasted great, and the iced black tea reminded me exactly of what I used to enjoy at a bento-style restaurant in Taiwan. If you enjoy Taiwanese cuisine and are looking to dine without breaking the bank, I highly recommend giving this place a try.

So happy to find a real Taiwanese place here! My kids kept on saying this is the best fried chicken bits here, just like back home! generous portions! Small humble restaurant with 100% taiwanese warm hospitality. Gotta try their beef noodles, the duo combo is such a bargain. Tables get filled quickly at lunch hours. A hidden gem for sure! 能吃到家鄉的味道 真的讓我跟孩子太開心了。牛肉麵，鹽酥雞，四神湯，炸豆腐.. 還有以前自助餐能喝到的古早味紅茶，揪甘心欸❤️

This is my FAVORITE Taiwanese restaurant! It's a Ma & Pa shop and by far the best I've ever had. It's also the most traditional. The owner is a sweet granny that commutes to work everyday and all the staff are so kind. The food itself is surprisingly not too salty, and you get the best bang for the buck. They offer an insanely cheap combo where you get 2 choices of entrees, agedashi tofu, Taiwanese cabbage, and 2 sweetened iced black teas or miso soups for $38. Even the fried items are so full of meat that it's almost too good to be true. Other restaurants just put a bunch of batter. The staff are so kind where recently they've given an extra tea because sometimes 3 of us share the combo. This place is a haben for Taiwanese ppl missing cuisine from their childhood. Please dine here, I guarantee you will fall in love!

Ordered combo for two ( choose two main dishes plus included one dish of fried vegetables and one dish of deep fried pepper salty tofu )and beef noodles in soup. Very good portion for the price. Taste just like any Taiwanese restaurants. Highly recommended. Combo for two ($38) beef noodles in soup( $17 ish) + tax/tips

A hidden gem located at Crystal Mall, they are across from the library and quite unnoticeable. Don’t let this unassuming place fool you, they serve up some authentic Taiwanese dishes. It feels very homey and cozy, the older lady who I believe is the owner is friendly and truly cares if you like the food or not. I ordered the sesame oil chicken noodle soup, and it’s so delicious. Chicken is perfectly seasoned and not too salty, broth is very rich but not overpowered by the sesame oil. Noodle is thin and smooth like angel hair, and topped with the sweetness of cabbage, red date and goji berries. The ginger pieces are not the old chewy ginger as well, so I was able to eat them all without much spicy heat from it. It’s probably one of the tastiest sesame oil chicken noodle soup I’ve had in town. The meal comes with a complimentary red tea or soup, a full lovely meal comes under $20. If you’re going to Crystal mall next time, ditch the food court and head to Aroma Eatery.

Homestyle, simple but comforting Taiwanese food! Staff are super sweet and the food is yummy and affordable. All sets come with soup, rice, side dishes and warm tea. Please note it’s cash or debit only!
