The food here is perfect. Literally, perfection.

The food here is so delicious! The boba was chewy and the tea flavors are so so yummy (recommend the osmanthus oolong milk tea). Their chili wontons are also amazing and the fry on the popcorn chicken/sweet potato fries is perfect. I also love their dry noodle dishes!

I bought a bento box with fried pork chops and popcorn chicken, but it tasted like reheated leftovers. The pork chops were dark, small, and dry, the popcorn chicken was also dark and hard, and the rice was hard too. It was very disappointing.

Incredible incredible food! I got the braised pork and rice and everything and everything from the pickles to the rice was seasoned to perfection! Definitely coming back!!

I came to eat at this restaurant today because I saw Taiwanese fried sweet and spicy food.
It is completely imported from Taiwan and is round and sweet and spicy, cut into strips.
It’s not Korean sweet or spicy, nor Japanese sweet or spicy, it’s exactly the taste I want.
Then I suddenly wanted to eat stinky tofu, so I ordered one too
In the end, the kimchi was a little bit too little for me because I really like kimchi.
I asked the boss if I could add $1-2 and then boss, please help me add more kimchi.
He just gave me a lot of kimchi for free.
Then he gave me two donuts
The boss insists that no MSG is added to the soup or noodle soup base.
It is recommended that people who care about health and wellness can come to the boss’s place to eat beef noodles or Vietnamese pho
The boss makes his own Vietnamese Pho soup base without adding any MSG.
I heard that the salty crispy chicken is also delicious. I will try it next time!
Then I bought another cup of orange green tea
The boss squeezes juice from fresh oranges
I also brew my own green tea.
Delicious! Fresh! Push push!

Hee hee, you deserve to have no customers if you have such a bad attitude. If you don’t want to open a shop, go home. What are you doing here, disgusting people?

Been going here since I was a teen, and I go here as much as I can. food is great (and I’m not biased, my friends say so too). The guy running the place can come off as cold but he’s gotten better. And he reminds me of my dad. If you’re in the area and you haven’t given this place a shot yet, please do.

The front guy should be the owner, and it's like he got into some kind stress and his attitude is terrible, he will give you a mad face if he didn't hear your voice, it's like “huh??what u say?? "The food is so so. Do you have a grudge against your customers?" If a customer who comes once will not come again next time, are you planning to close your business? ?

Awesome place!

Things are a bit salty (based on Taiwanese taste standards)The service attitude is extremely poor, and we are extremely impatient when ordering food (there are no other customers waiting for us to order food)The atmosphere was also bad. It was 94 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. Even though it was evening, it was still very hot. The host refused to turn on the air conditioner and left the door open (there were a lot of mosquitoes in the store, making me scratch while eating).

AMAZING place!lused to work at a Taiwanese restaurant and this place is like BEYOND amazing. Their food is INCREDIBLE! The flavoring is divine, textures are immaculate, and you can tell the chef has curated and crafted his recipes to perfection.Spice levels can be adjusted so it's great for all ages and spice tolerances.His boba is also literally better than sunright tea studios. The tapioca texture is immaculate and drinks are really high quality.The popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup, and golden kimchi are my absolute favorites! The food here surpasses any other popcorn chicken i've had in my entire life! (and i grew up in the San Gabriel Valley eating Taiwanese food weekly).Amazing amazing joint with great calm and welcoming vibes!New! More ways to react to reviews.
