We enjoyed the food here. Had the brisket over rice and was yum. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our toddler threw her plate and they were very understanding and helped cleaned the area. Looking forward to coming back here again soon.
Of course, we had to get the spicy Taiwanese beef noodle soup, which was super good. The beef was pretty tender and not overcooked, which tends to be my biggest qualm with beef noodle soups. We also ordered the fantuan, which had the delightful crunchy you tiao and the savory pork floss. Nice, casual dinner in Chinatown adjacent if you’re looking for the Taiwanese classics done well!

Best Taiwanese food I’ve ever had in the US. Everyone was so friendly. I truly wish y’all can open one down here in Dallas area.

Eating at Taipei Cafe genuinely takes me back to Taiwan. The flavors feel authentic and familiar, and you can really tell care is put into the food. The bento boxes are amazing, with generous portions and a great variety, and the price is very reasonable for the amount of food you get.

I had their chicken rice box before, it was good. I ordered today again, but looks like the chefs are not pay attention what they put in the bag. I received the pork rib one. Not a big fan of pork. Even though the pork taste good, I like chicken better.

Think they messed up with the batter and there was plastic in the popcorn chicken
I wish I could explain what this spicy beef noodle soup does to my soul on a cold day. I think my favorite part about this place is the consistency. Always good. Thank you 💜

The worst customer service I received in my entire life, the worst cashier I’ve met in my life. She was barely speaking she was just being so rude pointing things by her chin and head

Having been to Taiwan, I can say that everything about this place is authentic, and I would dare to say better than most places in Taiwan. The popcorn melts in your mouth and the green beans were cooked and spiced perfectly. The beef noodle soup was delicious - tender and tasty. The milk teas were great…not many places have wintermelon since it’s pretty much a Taiwan thing, and theirs was great. The boba had good texture and slightly sweet taste as well. Would highly recommend.
