What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Golden Flower Grilled Toast is celebrated for its generously portioned, uniquely flavored Taiwanese-Western fusion sandwiches, particularly the cheese-laden options. While many praise the taste and value, some reviewers note long wait times and occasional inconsistent flavor profiles or cleanliness concerns.
"Simple affordable sandwiches done right. I will recommend everybody to try their lava cheese sandwiches. The staff are also very friendly."
Jonathan Koh
"Golden Flower 🌸 Grilled Toast is very popular with the younger generation of Young Adults 👱♀️👱♂️👱🏿 and Teens 👩🦱👦👩🏼🦰. It’s a place that is a cross between Taiwanese 🇹🇼 x western 🇺🇸breakfast. So there is bread 🍞🥯🥐and all + a twisted add on of ham 🐷, bacon 🥓, eggs 🪺 and cheese 🧀.
Staff 💁♂️: Ok maybe it’s the early morning thingy 🤷♀️…. Not super friendly but certainly not rude either ✅✅✅. It was just a sleepy morning 🌅 service. Order at the front counter, pay (only cash 💵, no credit card 🪪) and they will serve you. There is a rack for gloves 🧤🧤and napkins 🖱️because it gets messy! (Reminds me of Burger 🍔 & Lobster 🦞) Nobody came to chit chat with us and all the staff seem to be rushing. That’s ok….. we are cool 😎.
Food : OVERLOADING, OVERFLOWING and OVERWHELMING LOL 🤣🤣🤣. #bursting #explosive Basically you can expect the sandwich to be stuff to the max and when you bite in, you get the eggs and cheese overflowing and dripping. OMG….. such a killer meal 😉😋! It's a tasty, large portion and I will say…. Very Satisfying when you wash it all down with a coffee ☕️. Everything is fresh, the bread 🍞🥐 was nicely toasted 🎛️, eggs 🍳well cooked, meat 🥓 was sizzling when it came and some effort to make a display on the plate 🧆🥪🍲.
Environment : It was nicely decorated, tables were clean and so were the utensils 🍽️🍴. But the toilet 🚻….. not the best I have been to. They should also separate the kitchen with a door? If not, the interior setting is warm and welcoming.
Thoughts are I will visit this place again. Just manage the expectations because there is after all no service charge, the place is clean 🫧 and food is good 👍. So slot this into breakfast at Ximending if you are around the area. I teenage kids loved it 😘! Better than McDonalds 🍔🍟for sure LOL 😆
Oh…. They close by 3pm 🕒. So don’t even think about going there “later”"
