I’m not from Taiwan or the region, so I’ll leave the remarks about authenticity to others. I did stumble on a Taiwanese restaurant during a trip to China, and had an eggplant dish that I’m still thinking about five years later. So I thought I’d give this place a try. I was just about the only non-Asian diner—on a Saturday, the place was full of families. They were kind to find a spot for a solo diner.I ordered the Taipei beef noodle soup, which is spicy but not in a sharp jalapeño way, more of a dark warm heat. I also had the eggplant in garlic sauce, which resembled that dish I had years ago, though it was sweet (actually as if sugar was added) and what I had before was a bit dryer, and had just a bit more of a roasted flavor. This was a lot of food, but it all was so good that I almost didn’t have any leftovers. I’ll definitely be back.

Delicious food. We enjoyed the pork belly over preserved vegetables, fish fillet dry pot, and west beef lake soup. I highly recommend all dishes.

Kid-friendliness: The waitress was very friendly and even brought a fork and spoon instead of of chopsticks for my toddler. Plenty of non-spicy food options for kids.

It's called Taipei cuisine, but in fact it has various cuisines including Sichuan, Northeastern, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisines. It's quite authentic and not an American-style Chinese restaurant. The background music is Taiwanese pop music from the 1970s and 1980s, which is nostalgic and warm. I heard a song by Yang Lin while sitting down and bought her tape when I was 15 years old. Take another look at the son opposite, he is 15 years old this year.

I picked up an order my friend ordered on the way to her house and thought the pickup was seamless as the order with her first, last, and phone number was listed on the pickup order. Once we got to her house, she read the receipt and the entire order was wrong. We were fine with keeping the food but wanted to notify the restaurant in case someone else got that order. The lady was on the defense immediately telling us it was our fault that she didn't make any mistake and that it was our mistake for picking up the wrong order. I tried to explain we weren't upset, just trying to let her know it was wrong in case someone else got our order instead. She kept telling me it was our fault and that she did nothing wrong. I couldn't get through to her and just ended up ending the conversation. I wasn't looking for any accountability just trying to do them a service by notifying them, and was met with hostility.

The food was great, (I recommend seafood noodles and the scallion pancake with roast beef) and the service was decent. There was a lot of people from all ages there. The overall experience is worth coming back for.

Parking: Has a separate parking lot the buildings on the right, there is an entrance to the left of the building.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, lots of young children. :)

Take-out was Great I recommend the spring rolls and steamed mini juicy buns. Service and atmosphere do not apply because I only got takeout. Food is great here I would recommend.
