I came here with two friends and it was mostly empty at 7:10 pm on a Tuesday night!

Good:
- Food came out fast and it's as good as I remember!
- The egg tofu was so chewy and soft, and savory!
- The veggies here are tasty and healthy
- The fried rice was flavorful and well salted

Bad:
- It was hard to flag down a waiter
- Not a big fan of the salted egg yolk dish in the clay pot - just had a bit too strong of an aftertaste for me

Overall it's a casual place with good Asian food and predictable quality!

Very generous portion of three cup chicken for the lunch special / bento. Tender and flavorful. Excellent value for lunch at 16 dollars. Friendly service and beautiful view of the blooming plants outside.

The owner could invest in a laminator for his menus

Chicken was way too salty. Soup had veggies that were turning black at the edges (about to go bad). Clams had sand. Intestines smelled bad. Just horrendous food.

When I walked in and asked where to sit, the person at the front desk responded like I couldn't hear the sound of a mosquito. After I sat down, no one greeted me at all. I had to take the menu from my neighbor. Also, I don’t know if it’s a problem with the hall design. There are only a few tables but it feels very noisy. You need to be very loud to communicate with friends. Overall, the food is good, but the service is poor

We had dinner here on a Sunday night. Got there a little after 5 pm and ordered 6 dishes. All dishes are tasty and the portion and price are reasonable. Everybody in the family loves it. Will come back!

I really like this place. It feels like home. I have eaten here several times. This is the first time I have eaten in a store. The environment and service are both very good.Braised pork rice and loofah are must-orders every time. The stir-fried loofah is delicious with anything, including salted eggs or clams. Water spinach is also highly recommended as a dish.The Shacha Beef exceeded expectations, recommended! Every dish is worth tasting and savoring

Food here is pretty solid. We were pleased with our lamb stir fry and salt and pepper squid, but the three cup chicken was a bit bland. Overall, among the better places for Taiwanese/Chinese food in the local area.

We ordered four dishes: moon-shaped shrimp cake, bamboo shoots chicken soup, clam with silk squash, and sweet and sour pork ribs. We specifically came for the moon-shaped shrimp cake, and it lived up to our expectations; its taste brought back fond memories. While the clam lacked freshness, the silk squash was delightful. The chicken soup was flavorful, especially with the generous amount of white pepper, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the sweet and sour pork was too sour for my liking, and I wouldn't order it again. However, the waiter kindly warned us about its acidity before we ordered, demonstrating excellent service. Overall, despite some minor flaws, the restaurant still deserves a five-star rating.

Taiwanese cuisine. Attracted by its sign at night with bright LED light. Easy to miss if you drive too fast during the day. The have free parking behind the restaurant. Surprised to see they do have a decent outdoor dining space. Service is great and all everyone gets a free sweet and sour soup after placing order. Love my sizzling lamb. So juicy and tender. Also like the 3 sauce little squid so authentic ! Will come back to try other food.

Parking: Parking located behind the restaurant follow the sign in front of the restaurant. Or you can park at the parking lot of a closed down diner with 2 doors away. Easy.
