This is my favorite restaurant in the Bay Area. Not only is the food absolutely scrumptious, but the owners and staff are so kind and treat you like neighbors. Can't recommend more.

The food may look simple but the taste is excellent! What really stood out about this place for me was the service. Waitress was really knowledgeable about every single item on the menu and constantly made sure we were attended to. Food came out hot and quickly, it was like a well-oiled machine. The manager also went around and checked on everybody. Dog-friendly in the back patio area. Street parking is free on the weekends. Will definitely be returning!

My partner moved here from NYC 4 years ago and believes our meal at GTE last night was the best restaurant meal he’s had in northern CA. The 2 of us (over)ordered 6 dishes (+ soft serve to finish) and every dish was so good. Flavors were balanced. The noodle texture was sooo Q(iykyk). Every dish, I’ve had it somewhere, some version before but they executed theirs perfectly and made each dish uniquely their own.
I can’t stop telling friends to go and can’t wait to go back again.
The only small peeve was that 3 dishes came out at the exact same time and it was difficult to not eat fast and risk the food getting cold. I know it’s Chinese food where the kitchen fires and dishes just come, but I wish they paced it a little just because we were enjoying everything so much. But maybe the onus is on us for ordering so much. Kidding, given what we had, and asked to do it again, we would not cut a single dish. Bring it!

Truly excellent food, service, and vibe. Really great vegetarian options; eggplant noodles will change your life.

Always a good time 💕 Go there with an open mind, ask questions, discover Taiwanese food! Menu changes between Wed/Thurs and Fri/Sat, and it's great to be able to discover new dishes. Also, the Sunday Chef Tasting menu is a mind blowing experience!

A rarity among Taiwanese places in the Bay Area. Modern takes on Taiwan’s food traditions, with a focus on local sourced ingredients, wonderful service, and a very chill vibe. Would 100% go out of my way to visit again!

What a gem! Just moved to Emeryville and found this place. Everyone working here is extremely nice and the food is so delicious. Will definitely be coming back soon.
Been twice for dinner, the most delicious food both times and welcoming service. Sat on the patio with outdoor heaters, twinkle lights. Will go back whenever I'm in town!

Amazing food! Been several times now, and tried multiple new things each time. Everything is so good! The grilled pineapple is maybe my favorite. It’s basically dessert.
The service is top notch. Today we started outside and asked to move inside halfway through our meal and the staff helped move everything without any fuss. They couldn’t be more patient and helpful and they know the food so well! Every recommendation we’ve receiving from staff has been a hit with our group!
This is quickly becoming our new favorite restaurant in the east bay.

Awesome. Also very child, baby, or toddler friendly (high chair + plate + utensils provided).
