54th Ave Cafe Review

Someone decided to take me here. It was ok size in there, not a lot of people. Service was not bad. Thanks!

We ordered the shrimp paste pan fried beef noodle ($14.75) and chicken with lychee ($16.95).

The chicken lychee was not bad. We were wondering what it was and thinking if it would taste weird. It's like fried chicken with a sweet and sour sauce. It's not as sour as sour and sweet pork. It was lighter so a bit easier on the stomach. The lychee was not bad, quite fresh tasting, very lychee. The chicken wasn't very crunchy, I guess the sauce made it soggy.

The beef noodle, I thought it could be more flavourful. It had a very light shrimp paste taste to it. I guess they didn't want to put too much or it would be too salty. The beef were very soft but with some tendon so some were hard to chew. The rice noodle were normal texture.

Overall, not bad, the size was ok for the price. I don't think I would come back again. If I do, I'll probably get their noodle.
