Good Taiwanese cuisine in the area. I was surprised to find that they have stinky tofu here, which is quite a controversial dish. If you can eat it, you’ll love the dish and the smell dearly; but if you can’t take it, it’s the worst smell and taste food that you’ll disdain forever :))We tried the stinky tofu and quite liked it. I don’t know if they did it right or not because I certainly didn’t smell anything bad, but the taste was acceptable and unique. Other dishes were also very good.If we have another chance to visit this area, we will visit again!Vegetarian options: They do serve vegetarian dishes.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair tables

Good but rather salty. Fresh ingredients prepared well. If I'm ever in the area, I'd return.

Came here for the weekend breakfast, the waiter came by not once but twice to give an item we didn’t order to us. I say no we didn’t order this item both times. Then he came back yet the 3rd time to say ‘I canceled this order for You’. In a stern tone as if I made a mistake and needed be told. Really? I then realized another dish was missing from my order so they probably just wrote it down wrong. Then I had to try to get someone’s attention and get the correct item ordered. When paying, they didn’t provide the itemized check so I asked for it (to make sure I was not charged for the item I didn’t order). The response was: ‘I cancelled it for you, did you not understand what I said.’ Oh boy, what a torturous morning.. regretting making the trip out here.Food was mediocre. The potsticker came out right away and was cold. Soybean milk had an aftertaste that tastes old. Pancake (shao-bin) was white, not toasted.
