Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!
I ordered the chicken rice, and every single bite was filled with eggshells—not just one, every bite. It was inedible. Completely unacceptable. I’m never coming back, and I seriously question their hygiene and food safety standards! This is beyond careless!

It's 10:50, and the shop opens at 10:00 according to google.

Nothing was able to be ordered except drinks.

If the stall had just been closed I would have been fine but there was zero signage about unavailability for food to be ordered.

You’re my favorite!

Got the popcorn chicken and oyster vermicelli to go. It takes 15-20 min to fulfill your order so be prepared to wait a bit.

There is a self service kiosk at the counter to order food and pay credit. You then get a receipt with a number. When your number is called, your order is ready for pick up. There’s a number display that’s easy to see what number is up. If you want to pay cash, you can’t use the self serve kiosk. Staff take your order instead.

There’s popcorn chicken has decent flavour but it is missing basil. That’s a staple for popcorn chicken. It would also be better if it came with some sort of dipping sauce like spicy mayo. The batter is good though and it’s not overly oily.

The oyster vermicelli has good flavour. It only has 4 small oysters. I asked for extra cilantro and there were 3 pieces of cilantro, how is that extra? Still a good dish but would have been even better with more cilantro.

Both dishes came out to $20 so not a horrible price.

Convenient location and good service, food !

The people there are very nice and gave me some free snacks when it was about to close.

1st. Food is great, wife and I love it

2nd service is not good.
Was here around 1015 (mall opens at 10am ) and ordered with the kiosk. Then the worker came out around 1030 and told me order won't be ready until 11 or later am since that'd when they open ( no sign to indicate when it's open but light and kiosk were on ). Tried to cancel order but the person told me it can't be cancelled.

Summary : good food, but service may want to be improved and better organized.

Great place for great food, the chicken thigh is one of my favorite snacks here along with the honey lemon tea. The chicken thigh is juicy and seasoned to perfection just how you like it thanks to all the options they give you.

Great Taiwan food

One of the best Taiwanese food in Bay area with a reasonable price

Ordered the XXL fried chicken thigh, fried king oyster mushrooms, and sweet potato plum fries. The flavor and texture are generally pretty good. It doesn’t take too long to get the food either.

The only issue would be that it’s extremely greasy and made me nauseous and have acid reflux in the hours after eating. The fried chicken in particular was very crispy, yet it felt like it oozed fat when eating (instead of the chicken juices and stuff). Maybe their oil temp isn’t high enough? In any case, be careful about eating here if your stomach is sensitive to that

Recommended dishes: Sweet Plum

The food is good and people from the store are nice. Most recommend popcorn chicken and mushrooms

The food is delicious and they are very efficient.
You can order online and you will get a number that will show when you can get your food. This is a takeout only the restaurant, but there are some papers on the second floor in the mall.

The chicken breasts and steaks had no taste at all. I took a few bites and threw them away.

I love fried chicken but this could be better. Not bad but not good overall.
