Since my mechanic is right beside The One, I needed somewhere to kill time. The closest thing was The One for some Taiwanese food. Since I was starving from a long day of school already, I was ready to chow down with my sister. They are known for their HUGE slush drinks that are super tall.
Preserved Egg With Tofu ($3.25) is definitely not for everyone. It has 2 slices of tofu with preserved egg on top with a sweet sesame sauce. I really liked it but I found that their yolk could have a be more creamy.
Meat Sauce on Steam Rice with Vegetable ($6.50) comes with side dishes too. Really good value since you get the bowl of rice and meat in addition to the 4 side dishes. Good price.
The One Wonton Soup with Noodle ($7.95) was quite horrible this time around. The bowl was HUGE and had so much noodle that I found it a very hard challange to finish it all. The wontons tasted so-so and bland. Also, the soup tasted like it had a lot of MSG inside.
Overall, I think a few dishes are a hit and a miss, but the pricing is very good.
Words of Wisdom:
- Large portions
- Under $10
- Fried Chicken Nuggets!
- Free parking in the front lot

The thing about this restaurant that freaks me out (in a good way) is how they serve their slushies like mile high up. I was so freaking worried that it would tumble. I remember seeing a photo for Gastrofork’s blog and so I decided to go and try it out after.
That sucks about the wonton. It’s like the one of things to measure how good a restaurant is at making comfort food.
I think the slushies are the best thing about this place!
