Taiwanese Restaurants near Atlanta, GA

“First time trying it out and it was GREAT!!“

“First of all, the atmosphere is great and the service is also very good.

As someone who is Taiwanese and who has worked as a chef before, I tend to hold Taiwanese food to a pretty high standard when writing reviews.

If you’re not familiar with Taiwanese cuisine, this is definitely a good place to give it a try. They include some authentic elements in their dishes.

The dry noodles are good, and the rice with braised pork sauce is also decent. It’s essentially the same braised pork sauce served over rice or noodles. Personally, I prefer minced pork belly with the skin on rather than a ground-pork texture, but the flavor itself is great.

The scallion pancakes and beef wrap are also very good. I found the soybean paste sauce to have a really nice balance of savory and sweet.

The fried tofu isn’t exactly traditional Taiwanese style, but it tastes great. It has a hint of numbing spice that isn’t overpowering.

The beef noodle soup was just okay. The meat is tender, but the herbs in the broth felt a little off and the soup could be more beefy and rich.

Overall, it’s definitely a nice place for a date night, and a good spot for people who aren’t familiar with Taiwanese food to give it a try.

A small suggestion for the chef/owner:

The biggest issue, in my opinion, is that the garnish sometimes takes away from the main flavors of the dish. Personally I like the dry noodles the best because they didn’t have too many extra garnishes.

For example, the pickled cabbage and cilantro on the rice and beef noodle soup might be a bit much. The sourness can overpower the meaty flavor of the pork sauce, and too much cilantro can throw off the balance.

I understand that many of these dishes are Taiwanese street food or snack items, where garnishes usually aren’t the focus. So perhaps keeping things simpler or serving the garnishes on the side could help highlight the main flavors even more.

Just something to consider.“

“This might be one of the best Chinese restaurants in the United States and I'm not even remotely joking. I haven't had better Kung Pao Chicken anywhere else. My kids love it, as there are some more approachable dishes for them. An expanded bar / wine program would be an upgrade but not necessary.“
