CAMPUS CAFÉ Zhongxiao Restaurant

It's 2017 and some places are trying to pass this off as western food. (Note: I visited their pop-up location at Commune A7.) I had a "deluxe Caesar salad with grilled chicken ($220NT/$7US): it's called "deluxe" because all the lettuce is romaine (not mixed with iceberg), but there isn't much of it to justify the $30 difference over "not deluxe"; the "grilled" chicken is actually fried; they sprinkled corn flakes and cereals on the top even though there's already almonds and chopped nuts and croutons. And broccoli. And then I found, covered under the Caesar dressing, a mound of mashed yams. What is this "let's throw everything in" approach to food??

I ordered the Oreo cheesecake, chicken panini and the chicken quesadilla. The first two were good tasting and presentation was acceptable. We won’t talk about the third item. Prices are decent and the decor reminds me of a downtown college diner. Prices are at the meh stage... but that third item... clearly overpriced.

The seat and environment is comfortable and clean. The staff is friendly. The panini is tasty, even though the seafood risotto is normal. Over all I really enjoy in this restaurant. The price is relatively lower tha what it worth.

Foods are good, and the size is about the same when you eat in America. Decoration makes the feeling of campus cafe. Very good job. The restaurant also has indoor playground for kids to hangout while parents are still eating abd chatting.

The interior and campus vibe is really cute and food is generally really good! I got a chicken salad with Japanese sesame dressing for 270nt which came in an enormous bowl - could feed 2 people but I love salad so I demolished it ♡ their coffee slushie with a dollop of whipped cream was also superb, not too sweet but super refreshing for summer brunch. Friends got lots of hybrid flavor pasta like Thai style, and double meat cheeseburgers with fries, as well as more mango and kiwi slushies - all good. But some members of our group ordered steak and were disappointed and surprised to find when it arrived that it's Taiwanese night market style, on a hot plate with noodles and gravy. Not really in theme with the restaurant and they wouldn't have guessed since there wasn't a photo of it in the menu. Nonetheless a good brunch spot with friends - lots of yummy drinks and filling entree salads and pasta, risotto and burgers ~ too bad no UW flag though in keeping with their college campus theme :P Loaded nachos are good too!~ P.s. several cheesecake flavors all look good but also seem like they are no-bake style, which is not my favorite texture but maybe I would try Oreo or Cherry one time~

As always, a place with a variety of choices (appetizers, salads, panini’s, sandwiches/burgers, pastas, risottos, drinks, desserts...etc), and it never cease to disappoint me. Until this time.. I had a kiwi shake, which turned into a kiwi milkshake for whatever reason.. and it’s the perfect mix for a good cleanse, not for the weak stomachs. My personal favorites are their salmon salad and their risotto/pasta (any with pesto, don’t recommend their tomato sauce tho.. but that’s just a personal choice).

I tried the chicken burritos and my friends like the other menu too. Price is worthed with the taste and size. Please make appointment to avoid long queue. No service charge added. Ambience is cozy and comfortable. Lighting is good for taking pictures. They also have Vegetarian menu

Nice restaurant to go with friends. The food is delicious and served in a good portion. The price not too high.
