Braised pork over rice was ok. I didn't like that egg was hard boiled. There're many better options nearby for the same price that I don't think I'll come back

Ordered the wintermelon with grass jelly and it was not overly sweet. Overall amazing drink coming from a Taiwanese person. Definitely going back again.

Stumbled upon an amazing Taiwanese restaurant on Google during my unexpected trip to San Francisco. Must-try dishes include the incredible Popcorn Chicken, classic Braised Pork Over Rice, and delightful Sweet Potato Fries with Plum Powder. The restaurant offers a cozy ambiance, and the friendly staff enhances the overall experience. A must-visit for an authentic taste of Taiwan!

Yummy, healthy and delicious food! The Raised pork over rice is the same as I tasted inTaipei! The Oolong Milk tea is so good and full of the delicate flavors from the tea! Also tried the popcorn chicken, tasty and reminds me of the Taiwan night market!

Tofu is cold and it’s not delicious, not Taiwan enough. I ate a paper in my rice… The waitress is not friendly

This place consistently great. At this point, I’ve tried almost every food item on the menu and haven’t had one bad meal. The popcorn chicken is top notch, and the Taiwanese dishes are great! Brings me back to my mom’s cooking. Just recently tried the chicken cutlet, and may have a new addiction. The boba is incredible too! I can’t go a week without the boba here.But the best part about this place is Vivi. She’s an absolute gem. She provides incredible service, makes the best drinks, and consistently brings a smile to my face.I constantly crave this place. I recommend and bring friends and coworkers here regularly, and now they have become regulars also. I’m giving 5 stars, but I wish I could give 100!

The foods always super amazing everytime I come here, I don't really see anyone come it which kinda sucks but the foods definitely worth checking out (especially the popcorn chicken and garlic waffle fries)

As a Taiwanese, the taste of this restaurant is completely unauthentic. The service attitude is bad. The lighting in the restaurant is dim. The chicken has a bad and strange taste.

As a Taiwanese I gotta say this is way below the average and not delicious and authentic at all. This is the worst popcorn chicken I have ever had. First it’s dark way too dark either not fresh, or over fried and over re-fried. The chicken is kinda chewy and smells kinda weird. Second, the sweet potato fries should be chunky. They cut it too thin and should have more sweet and sour powder. Also it tasted bitter. we think you guys should apply more powder coat before frying it and please don’t over fried it. As a Taiwanese we are really disappointed and probably won’t visit again. This is a sad Taiwan National Day that I had the worst popcorn chicken in my life. (I will give the Taiwanese Kimchi 9/10 so this is the only think I thing I will recommend. Not as sour as authentic Taiwanese Kimchi but better than other two dish I had

That was indeed the taste of Taiwan.

The teriyaki chicken rice was okay, the white rice didn't taste very good and was a bit dry, but the side dishes were delicious and had an authentic Taiwanese taste.
The salty crispy chicken is freshly fried and very hot! However, I personally feel that it lacks some flavor and the chicken is not very juicy. I recommend adding nine-layer pagoda and garlic to enhance the flavor. The portion is quite large!
The environment in the store is clean, ice water is provided for drinking inside, and chili powder will be provided if requested.
I thought I could order food in Chinese, but it turned out that the clerk I met that day couldn’t speak Chinese? But it didn’t matter~

Pretty delicious Taiwanese popcorn chicken!! Generous serving of popcorn chicken with juicy thigh meat, made to order so it’s piping hot! 4/5 because I think their seasoning can be enhanced (maybe more 5 spice powder) and more basil!! Overall loved it and will be coming back for more!
