Great food, good portions, and a nice atmosphere. I had the fried Chicken bento and it was a nice combo. The veggies were well cooked and seasoned, the chicken was flavorful and well marinated, and the rice was fluffy but separated into grains as it should.
A very little nonsense eatery. Go with other people so you can try more than the one dish, because most of the dishes I saw coming out looked great.

Really wanted to like this Taiwanese restaurant, but I was disappointed by the food. Stinky tofu was flavorless, and the oyster noodles were way over cooked with very little taste. Friendly service and a large parking lot. May come back just to try the beef noodles to see if it will change my review.

A place for Taiwanese foods. Foods were genuine but maybe hit and miss. Last time, we returned a bitter melon soup with rib which tastes sour. Server just took it away and crossed out from bill. No question asked, like happened before, no big deal. So, expect friendly service with a little awkward vibe.

The woman owner was SO nice! the food brought us back to Taiwan- childhood memories of home cooked meals made w love! We had the oyster pancakes-a must, braised eggplant with basil -another must , three cup mushroom, deep fried stinky tofu, big sausage wrapped around small sausage, popcorn chicken, and sesame chicken soup. This is a MUST VISIT!

Traditional Taiwanese cuisine, there are many Taiwanese street food dishes.
Every dish is delicious, like the sakura shrimp fried rice, which is delicious, and the stinky tofu, which has juicy and crispy skin.
It feels like being in Taiwan!!

The weirdest restaurant Ive ever experienced there is a old lady as a cashier and order server she dont even know any single word of english and when you just try to let her know about your order she screams damnnn ive never seen i was paying money but her misbehave let me go from that Restaurant 0/10 not recommended.
The Taiwanese food here is Amazing and affordable (for bay area). I felt obligated to provide a review because I seemed to hurt their business by ordering their awesome stinky tofu. There was a table of 5 that came in when my stinky tofu arrived at the table. They sat down for 5 second and left without a word.
I have to tell everyone that's reading this review. Their stinky tofu, along with other tasty food, is to die for, because they made their stinky tofu in house. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, even better than some of the ones I tried in Taiwan. I also got the shrimp pancake (people typically order oyster pancake but oyster is not my thing). They used fresh and big shrimp without the taste of chemicals. Sauce was on the spot with crunchy edge of the pancake.
My husband ordered the chittering rice noodle soup. He was so happy that he found the chef he has been looking for years. We hope we will be able to go again soon.

You know the food is authentic when you see granmas in the kitchen and it did not disappoint. Very good Taiwanese food, probably the best around the area. This is definitely out go-to place when we have the craving for Taiwan street food.
