Very authentic Taiwanese food, love the oyster pan cake and basil pork intestine, and I’ll definitely come back.

Had an amazing meal at Taiwan Café. Their Wanluan pork knuckle was incredibly tender, with rich flavors and that perfect melt-in-your-mouth texture. Paired with the side dishes, it felt like an authentic Taiwanese comfort feast. Definitely a place I’d go back to!

In my opinion, this is one of the most awesome places to get authentic, Taiwanese cuisine/street food; for one who comes from a (half) Taiwanese-background, I can say you will be satisfied (just be aware they may be very busy at times so plan ahead when if arriving early, or order takeout instead, and if you have a big party, you may want to set a reservation)!

This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for authentic Taiwanese food. Everything here is full of flavor and they give out pretty generous portions. Their beef noodle soup is absolutely incredible - from the broth to the noodles and the beef especially. I also love their three-cup chicken - perfectly balanced with basil, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
Another must-try is the Taiwanese popcorn chicken — crispy, juicy, and seasoned perfectly with basil and spices.
The staff are super friendly and attentive, always checking in to make sure everything is perfect. Even when it gets busy, they never rush you. Greeted immediately when I walked in and got seated immediately. If you’re craving authentic Taiwanese comfort food, definitely come here.

Really bad service! Avoid! We have a party of 4, there are two customer who were here first. The male server said there is a table telling us to go in, I told him the two customer came here first so he let them in. Fair. The women by the cashier (I think she is the owner) with glasses short curly hair was raining her voice saying put your name down. I said oh the men server already know we were here and have a table for us. She said put your name down (in an even higher tone) so I did. When there is a table open up for four she walked us there and I said there’s these two table available why you don’t let us sit down. She said how do we do business is not up to you to decide. I’m like ok… when we order food I pointed the menu to her and told her I want this few dishes. She said say it out loud in Chinese or English I don’t understand where are you pointing. I said I don’t know how to read these words. She rolled her eyes at me and said you were being grumpy the moment you came in. I said there is table avaible and your attitude is bad. When I’m explaining she walked away. Very RuDE!
Once we sat down, SHE LET A PARTY OF 4 SIT IN THE LARGE TABLE ( see attached picture) see how bias she is??
The food, we ordered the shrimp fried rice is tasteless I think the chef forgot to put in salt. The portion is super small. The braised pork rice is ok, very oily though. The environment and atmosphere is below average, there is dried food sticking around the wall and table. Pretty dirty I would say.
