“We came twice, one dining in, one take-out. We tried the specials (not on English menu): 什锦炒河粉three meat fried with veggies and wide rice noodles; 盐酥鸡便当fried popcorn chicken bento; 夜市炒花枝night market squid soup; 三文鱼炒饭salmon fried rice. The most recommended dish is the fried wide rice noodle, very good portion, good amount of protein and veggies. My second favorite goes to squid soup, comfort food, squid is fresh, good nutrition balance! It's good to have a restaurant offers family style food nearby.“
“Surprised my family had never tried this place - it's been around for a long time, but I guess we usually went to the now-closed Pacifica Cafe around the corner or Yoyogi and Ming's is tucked in a side street. It's open for takeout later than a lot of the Chinese restaurants nearby, and while the ambiance isn't fancy, the taste is good for homey style cooking. We've done pickup mostly and the manager (maybe the owner?) is always super friendly - I ask her for recommendations on the menu based on what I've liked before when I pickup, and the last rec was the seaweed infused fish fillets, which have def been a hit in our family. Supposedly their Chinese roast meats are really good too, but my family's pescatarian so that's a bit of a harder sell. It also seems like the dishes we've liked more are the less Americanese ones, so keep it in mind when you're ordering. But definitely excited to eat through the menu, even after bypassing this place for at least 10+ years. Would recommend!“
“I always come here for the bao bei buns which are Taiwanese gua bao. It has a nice pork belly filling with pickled vegetables and sweet peanuts. It’s perfect when eaten warm and fresh and would highly recommend you to get it! There is no seating though and they work out of a warehouse by the way.“
“My friends and I have been coming here for years. Its a quick service order to go spot for Asian fusion sushi burritos or bowls. Its located inside of a gas station and parking is limited. I stopped by recently and placed a fairly large order. Wait time was around 25 minutes for 6 items. Prices are reasonable and I like the selection here. We ordered everything from the tuna + salmon sushi burritos. For the rice bowls, we ordered the basil chicken, tempura shrimp and black pepper beef. Each burrito is packed with avocado, lettuce, cucumber, carrots, corn and edamame. Food is prepped in front of you and the staff was so friendly. Prices are reasonable and I see why the MD Yelp team puts this place on its top places to eat list every year.“
“Delicious Taiwanese and Southeastern Chinese food. The fried chicken and pork dishes are excellent.This is a hole in the wall type restaraunt attached to a gas station - expect delicious home cooking type food, but dont expect much atmosphere.“
“We’ve been going to this place at least 2x a week. Is been one of our favorite bubble tea place. We love all of their drinks especially their strawberry lemonade and rose milk tea. Their popcorn chicken is amazing. I am also grateful for their wonderful service. They always have a kind smile whenever I go. I am wishing them lots of success so I can always go get my strawberry bubble tea with strawberry boba“
“Dear Diary - This is one of my favorite convenient hotpots in the area. Using their iPad to order your items, they often come to the table very quickly. They do have a serving robot mainly handling drinks/dessert orders which makes it pretty efficient as they can focus on other tasks. Love the efficiency and the various soup base flavors that are offered.“
“Solid option for some authentic dim sum, some nice selection for one person or to share, I highly recommend the braised pork on rice and the A&J wonton soup, you will not be disappointed with those options.The staff is friendly and helpful, and it's a great lunch spot if you are in the area and not too pricey either.And of course the scallion pancake is delicious.“
“Highly recommend the ninja crispy chicken for $11.50, which pairs nicely with the beef on rice. It feels like it is straight out of a Taiwanese street food YouTube video!The chicken is pounded very flat and long and seasoned to be both salty and a bit sweet, though I would recommend removing it from the container very quickly as the cardboard it is delivered in retains a lot of heat causing the chicken to become soggy the longer it stays wrapped up.Otherwise, I’d highly recommend!“
“The Spot has many options for any restaurant we can eat. It is very friendly to the environment. That does make me feel welcome to go to that place. I enjoyed viewing the general food. That is so wonderful. I had a great time eating a dessert. My day is the best. What a blast I love it!“
“I heard many things about the Taiwanese Fried Chicken so I wanted to try it out. At this location you cannot choose the spice level. When it came out the chicken was very most crispy 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.“
“Taipei Cafe is kind of isolated on the Pike, but it's right across from the shopping center that has China Bistro and other Asian stores/restaurants. My friend and I had their Taiwanese fried chicken, beef noodle soup, and hamburger bun. I was looking forward to trying their soup dumplings, but the waitress said they only make the crab ones (opposed to the regular pork ones that are also on their menu). The fried chicken was super crispy and tender. The beef noodle soup broth is mildly spicy, but as someone who doesn't like any spice, I could tolerate it. I wish they had more vegetable options on their menu, but I'm glad I found this place! If you're looking for Taiwanese classics, this is the place!“

“It's a restaurant with a hometown feel. Every portion is super large, and you can take it away if you can't finish it!! The owner and Chef "阿雄師" are super hospitable. The hidden Taiwanese menu changes all the time, so next time, you can ask the owner if she has any new dishes.“
