Black fungus appetizer and the fried peashoots were fine. And generally the fried chicken and pork were ok too. Anything else with dough in it was… very grainy? It’s hard for me to describe the texture but it’s not fluffy and generally pretty dense so I did not enjoy those dishes.

Great spot for Taiwanese food. Place is unassuming but the food is great and the service is fast. Bring cash to avoid credit card fees. Menu does not have photos so take a moment to read through. Bring friends so you can order different things to try the menu. The menu is huge

Other than the fish and the dessert, everything else wasn’t very tasty. The dry noodle is supposed to be their signature, but very tasteless. The pop chicken was a bit too salty but quite crispy. The soup dumpling didn’t have soup in it and the wrap was broken for every single one. There are not many Chinese restaurants around here, was hoping to have some tasty Chinese food, but wasn’t very satisfied unfortunately.

My go-to place for comfort food. PROS: - Many small dishes I can order several different every time. - The Chinese style fried pork chop rice (排骨馅饼) and Pan fried beef pan (牛肉馅饼) are all time best and quality are consist for years. - For lunch, most of time no waiting if get there before 12:30 CONS: - Bean curd with thousand year egg (皮蛋豆腐) was disappointing. Supposed to use soft tofu but they might use the firm tofu (not 100% sure) the taste was tough and dry. Also the egg was not sliced, chef expected we helped ourself with table knife ;( - 3% fee for credit card or you have to pay by cash, or Zelle/Venmo them.

A solid Taiwanese shop that has some comfort food like congee, salt and pepper chicken, bubble tea and noodle soup. Cash only, no more Venmo after Sep 1. And they have a reasonably good selection of other small dishes that you can try, the spicy pig ears are sliced thin and deliciously spicy. The restaurant is clean and the service is okay. The beef noodle soup (clear broth) is excellent and better fresh rather than taken to go. Lost my order called in but found it eventually. Smaller portions by half while more expensive on the spicy pig ear appetizer for $7 instead of $5 pre pandemic. The dessert - the homemade grass jelly was just so-so. Da Bing Niu Ru was ok - needed more bean paste sauce. The fried chicken with rice was ok, but the pork chop version is better. Stopped by again in April 2026 - the pig ears still awesome, and the pao cai (fermented veggies) is more sweet and sour (preserved in white vinegar). I like the Szechuan version better than this one. Pork chops needed a bit more crisp, but the hand pulled noodles were great in beef soup. Tried a few more things - the cabbage in garlic - meh, skip. The cucumbers in a szechuan sauce were good. Kau fu was too sweet, an
