This is my go to place for Kung Pao Chicken. The servings are very big - it’s enough for two meals. We missed ie so much during the shutdown that we learned to make it at home. Delivery service is usually very quick.
October 2023
Taiwanese cuisine, large and interesting menu — that we’d love to explore more. We had been getting the salmon teriyaki a lot (my kids’ favorite) with rice and sautéed vegetables (green and red peppers and onions). Super fast service, we’ve only done pickup because of Covid-19. Very nice owners I especially like the appetizer-Steamed Vegetables With Meat SauceSteamed bok choy topped with a tasty pork belly sauce.We’d love to try more dishes, but will wait until we can...
February 2023
We love coming here whenever we’re in Evanston! Our favorites are the popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup, and the Taiwanese style fried rice. We also love trying the new drinks on their menu! Highly recommend!
