Worth visiting if you are looking for Taiwanese dim sum. There’s not that many options in the menu, but overall everything was great. Can’t wait to be back to try their other dishes!

Not many Taiwanese Brunch places.
This is one of my favorites.

The beef rolls and sliced pig ears are really delicious—I recommend giving them a try! However, the service is a bit slow, and the prices are on the higher side.

The Chinese and Taiwanese restaurants in Newton mostly serve snacks or side dishes, which can be paired with some fried noodles or scallion pancakes, and the overall portions are small. This time I ordered beef burrito, Taiwanese fried noodles, carrot cake, steamed pork ribs, large intestine noodles, fried dough sticks, and sweet soy milk. Beef burrito, crispy crust and beef slices, salty and delicious. The Taiwanese fried noodles are just right in saltiness and taste good. The fried radish cake has a crispy texture, but the body of the radish cake is hard (not the same as what you get in Taiwan). The steamed pork ribs are soft and tender, and paired with the sweet potatoes spread underneath, it is delicious. The large intestine noodles have a smooth texture, and the large intestine is delicious, with a nostalgic taste. Crispy fried dough sticks paired with slightly sweet soy milk, a classic Taiwanese delicacy.

A horrible experience!!! The tables in the middle of the room are literally only 1inch apart. The person sitting next to me was coughing all the time. Requested to change table but they made up some weird reasons and do not allow us to change to EMPTY tables SAME SIZE… I started a bad headache and diarrhea after eating there…. Properly DISTANCE tables!!!!!

This is hands down the best Chinese food in the area for me. The front is very unassuming and they are a no frills restaurant. Food came out hot, fresh, and homemade. Highly recommend the crispy sesame beef or the lobster sauce with rice.

A while ago I saw online that it tasted good. I went there today, but was disappointed with the taste. Still expensive. Not worth going back.

The food was not even Taiwanese as advertised. They don’t even speak Taiwanese. The servers were rude and the atmosphere was quite unpleasant. Totally overrated! Never go there again.
