Authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The stinky tofu is very delicious and good served with kimchi. Every dish is made with the authentic Taiwanese taste. The owner is very friendly and nice. We arrived the store around 7:30pm which is the time of closing. But the owner was very friendly and polite asked us to order foods. Highly recommended.

Really disgusting! ! The meat in the braised pork rice is sour and it is sold even if it goes rancid! There was hair in the chicken cutlet rice

Overall, it's good. I feel like I'm back in a Taiwanese bento shop. However, I personally feel that the taste is a bit bland and a bit too salty. The fried pork rib rice feels that the marinated ribs are too salty, and the Hsinchu Gongwan noodles are too bland, but surprisingly, the sweetness and spiciness are pretty good. , the stinky tofu is average.

Rip off.
My son and I ordered 4 dishes, stinky tofu, dan dan noodle, beef pancake roll and pork intestine wrap sausage. Except the stinky tofu, the portions of the other three dishes are very small, less than half of the amount of other similar Chinese restaurant. The beef pancake roll just has 6 small pieces and the dan dan noodle is just an 8 inch bowl of plain noodle with some peanut paste, not really a dan dan noodle. We ordered 4 dishes for 2 of us, because we had planned to take out the beef pancake, but in the end we ate the all and got to go to the 99 ranch market next door to buy more food to eat! The bill came at $48.47 not including tips. What a Rip Off!
The portion was too small. My son and I ordered stinky tofu, dandan noodles, small intestine wrapped in large intestine, and beef burrito. Except for stinky tofu, the other three are very, very small. Especially the Dandan noodles, there is only a little bit in the 8-inch bowl. The ordinary noodles have a little peanut butter added, but they are not Dandan noodles at all. The beef burrito only has 6 small pieces, which is less than half the price at other restaurants. The two of us ordered 4 dishes. We wanted to pack part of the beef burrito, but we ended up not feeling full after eating them all, so we went to 99 Dahua next door to buy a takeaway. 4 dishes without tip is 48.47. Black shop.

Authentic Taiwanese restaurant (prolly the LAST one) owned and operated by Taiwanese people.
Ground pork rice is the best dish and I liked their fried pork chop as well as simmered pork feet too.
Add a bowl of squid soup or a side of broiled veggies and this will make a complete Taiwanese meal.

Get hot boxed in stinky tofu air and leave with clothes smelling like a gym locker room.

Authentic Taiwanese restaurant nests at the corner of this plaza. It is rarely noticeable due to its humble decorations on the window. Unless you know what you are looking for, it’s not the most inviting place.The foods are overall delicious and reasonably priced. Tons of varieties, but they weren’t lazy about the originality of each dishes.Other than the ones in photos, I have also had Fried Pork Chop (dry) Noodle and Stinky Tofu.
