Reviews for O-Machi Taiwanese Appetizer and Benton House O-Machi ?? in Kelowna, BC
Ok so my review is kinda mixed because I ordered 3 same items, twice from this place. The first time I ordered, ofcourse I liked... all the 3 so ordered again but not happy for the 2nd time. Their food varies, not sure depending on what, cook, mood,takeout/pickup etc.? My order includes Spicy dry noodles, loved it for the first time, it was nice and saucy and tasted amazingbut second time, it lacked all the flavors and the noodles were soggy, what a disappointment! Another thing I ordered was HouseSpecial Spicy Wontons, which lacked veggies and the third item was spring rolls which you can see were burnt in my second order.So this is my overall review, pics attached for your reference. I also added kimchi on the side which was okayish, not like thespicy ones you get in the store, it was more sweet with no chilies. Update: Dined in for the first time and ordered the same asmy previous orders. We like spicy so repeated the order ???? Spring rolls were pretty crunchy and tasted better than take-out.Spicy dry noodles were good portioned but were served warm and not hot. Wontons lack veggies (Pics attached). They should addmore veggies/ peppers to the wontons for some crunch but yam fries were the show stealer. Didn't expect them to be this good butsurprisingly they were. Do try if you visit. Highly recommended! And lastly, service was good hence adding a star. Ratingupdated from 3 to 4. Read more
Excellent Taiwanese food here. Would recommend the O-Machi Chicken Popcorn ??? and Fish Cake ???! Their frying technique is... really good to keep the crispy surface. Minced Pork Rice Bowl ??? is a good choice as well. Read more
Great restaurant in Kelowna serving up nostalgic Taiwanese food and dining experience. Food was great; staff and service were... wonderful, totally remind me of home. My absolute favourite was the vegetable fried rice (not pictured as I was too busyeating). The flavour was so authentic, I couldn?t stop eating. Will definitely make this our regular pit stop when we are intown. Read more
We had not been here for a few years. We have only ever dined in. Atmosphere: The set up right now is a bit different, with... barriers between the tables but they are displaying photos of places in Taiwan which our kids loved seeing. I would not go hereon a date night but a dinner with the kids is perfect. The service: Hands down the friendliest service I have experienced in along time. We told our server we were plant based and she made sure to let us know about all the ingredients, how they wereprepped and what was vegan-friendly. She pointed out what was in the photos hanging in our booth, said that was near her hometown in Taiwan. Food: delicious and fresh, great value for money! Good sized portions, especially the appetizers. We had theoyster mushrooms, tofu appetizer, dry noodles (they aren't dry but they aren't soupy), spicy dry noodles (our fave) and kids hadfried rice and fried noodles w tofu. We will be back for bubble tea! Read more

MUST EAT IN KELOWNA! Pleasantly surprised by such authentic Taiwanese food in Kelowna!! Highly recommend the bento meals that... came with tasty veggies as sides. The Sliced Chicken and Minced Pork are both delicious! Their drinks are great add ons as well!So glad to have found this place on our one night stay driving through! Read more
The take out boxes are so cute! The boxes look shallow, but the portion sizes are good (boxes are packed!). Our party of 3... couldn't finish 3 entrees and an appetizer. Ordered the Chicken Popcorn, Spicy Dry Noodle, Lamb Fried Noodles, and TaiwaneseSausage Fried Rice. The plum flavour for the chicken popcorn was good. The spicy noodles definitely lived up to their name witha kick! We liked that the noodle and rice dishes had an abundance of vegetables, and they weren't just thin slivers at someestablishments. Felt safe with the tall plastic/plexiglass barriers between tables dining in. Read more
Chicken satay noodles are amazing!! Good bubble tea as well! The thing I didn?t like about this place is it is like a maze with... plastic up everywhere. it looks terrible and was uncomfortable. Food was overall good. Please change the atmosphere here! Read more
