I get that broke college students don't demand the finest dining options, but there really are some quality lunch spots on and around campus. Shihlin is not one of those places. Depressing environment, unpleasant food. The rice on my popcorn chicken plate was good. The rest - half boiled egg, tofu slices, a few piece of dark and fatty fried chicken pieces - were a chore to eat. Bit worse than McDonalds quality.
They recently moved to the old Gong Cha location in Sather Lane, so now the place is more spacious and there is actual seating available. I've only gotten their Treasure Rice Box, which has rice, veggies, tofu, half a tea egg, and their signature large chicken breast. I personally really like it because it has a nice peppery taste and spice. Totally recommend eating here.

Good to see more Taiwanese food in the East bay. Shihlin have some of the most classic and popular street foods in Taiwan. I've tried the chicken and Mee shua. Neither are very authentic but are good enough when craving Taiwanese food. The Mee shua is overpriced and too sour and garlicky.
