I come here just for the basil chicken and the tea. I should probably try some other stuff but it seems like a hit or miss from what I understand.

I heard many things about the Taiwanese Fried Chicken so I wanted to try it out. At this location you could choose the spice level. I chose the mild spice level. When it came out the chicken was not the most crispy but was still hot and the seasoning had a nice flavor to it.I also ordered a Jasmine Green Milk Tea which I loved. The boba was very firm and chewy and the tea flavor was good without being too sweet. Most places I order 30-50% sugar level but here I got 100% and it was perfect. That being sad, I could see how the tea isn't sweet enough for most people.

Authentic and affordable Taiwanese street and comfort food! You can’t do any better outside of Taiwan. Will be visiting again next time when we visit from Ohio.
Authentic and delicious Taiwanese food! I love their Taiwanese Chicken Combo and beef noodle soup!

This isn’t my first time here, but this is my first time having a not so great experience with the food.Placed an to-go order for 2 Ground Pork on rice bowls, Taiwanese popcorn chicken and fried green beans.The rice for both bowls were completely mushy (not from the sauce or pork)- felt like I was eating porridge that clumped into a rice ball.The popcorn chicken was soggy. And the fried green beans had no flavor.My drink was great tho! :)Not sure if the chef changed, but this was highly disappointing.

I got the Taiwanese chicken combo for me and a friend. It was supposed to be a snack but it ended up being dinner.The food came out piping hot and the drinks were amazing. The restaurant was pretty empty, which made me a bit skeptical of the food but it ended up being seasoned perfectly and blew my mind with the flavors.

I love love love this place. I almost want to move to Columbia just for this place. The chicken is amazing the boba is great too. If I'm ever in the area, I would definitely stop by again. Some of the snacks were out when I was there so I definitely would come back to try something else. Service was top notch as well. Highly recommended this place!

Ordered the popcorn chicken, mild spicy, combo with rice ... Got spicy chicken and fries. The chicken is tasty, somewhat on the sweet side, but a little fatty and seems to be all brown meat chicken, no white meat. $13.95 also seems a little steep for a combo that is basically just little chunks of breaded chicken and a bag of fries (that was supposed to be rice). The tofu dish was ordered as extra spicy... We got mild so obviously confused the order. On the plus side the rice with the tofu was good.The restaurant itself is clean, well lit and has a few casual tables if you wish to dine in. Interesting to try once but considering price and the confusion with a simple order, probably not likely to visit again.Vegetarian options: There are some tofu options but the one we ordered was somehow "fatty" tasting and a little too slimy. Was not able to finish the dish.
My carryout food order for 6/25/23 was prepared incorrectly by the kitchen staff. The Taiwanese chicken combo did not have ground pork on the rice while the pork chop combo was missing a boiled egg. Unfortunately, I didn't know this until I returned home. I recommend checking your order before you leave the restaurant. Kitchen staff here are getting less reliable and dependable.

We ate inside the restaurant and ordered the Asian chicken combo (mild), Taiwanese chicken combo ($13.95) fried string bean ($8), and medium taro boba tea.The Taiwanese chicken was crispy and flavorful because it was dark meat. The Asian chicken was not marinated or brined whole chicken breast so was tough and dry. I didn’t finish it. It was also seasoned but did not have much flavor. It was difficult to cut with their plastic fork and knife. The green beans were simple and over priced for what it is. The boba balls were mushy on the outside and slightly hard in the middle. The table we sat at was not wiped down even though the place was not busy.

Very simple and delicious food. Not much of a decor or atmosphere, but it ads to the charm.

Taiwanese chicken was delicious, piping fresh. Loved the stir fried veggies on top of the rice.

Food is great, but as you have read from the other reviews the service is completely garbage.Made an order through GrubHub, and came in on time.The cashier looked at me like I had 3 heads when I asked for a pickup for Dave.He's goes; "You didn't make an order here.". Then he realizes that he left his GrubHub ipad off... seriously dude?As he turned it back on it started chiming like crazy with the amount of backed up orders.
