This place is literally a hole in the wall, inside a gas station. But the food is actually pretty good

Hidden Gem!
Don’t let the location fool you — yes, it shares a building with an Exxon, but the food here is fantastic.
We ordered the pork braised rice, beef noodle soup, and Taiwanese popcorn chicken, and everything was outstanding. The beef in the soup was incredibly tender and came in huge pieces, the rice was rich and flavorful, and the popcorn chicken had a lighter, cleaner taste than most places without losing any flavor.
You can tell the ingredients are fresh and the kitchen really cares about quality. This place deserves way more attention than it gets. We’ll definitely be back!

Interesting place to try Taiwanese. It is on one side of a gas station convenience store. About 5 parking spots. There are only 3 tables and some window counter barstools. I had to ask for napkins to wipe down the table. No napkins or utensils on self-serve beverage counter. Had to ask for forks. They should spend some time cleaning up the menu if they want to attract more adventurous diners. It would help them if they put out some condiments. Bento box had a lunch portion. Soup is extra. Separate orders for popcorn chicken and calamari were the right size for the price. Good place for take-away.

Still dont get the hype this restaurant received over the last couple of years. It's edible food but why the hype? Maybe I'm just not that into this type of cuisine at all.

I may not be an expert in Taiwanese food, but I can recognize greatness when I taste it.
I have never been disappointed by a restaurant in an Exxon Mobil and I promise you, I sure wasn't disappointed this time.
The staff are efficient and kind, the food was great (I got braised pork rice), and you have an amazing selection for beverages and dessert (thanks Exxon), there's even a seating area in the gas station!
Give it a chance, Exxon knows how to choose their restaurant owners.

Absolutely incredible food. I just moved to the area and I am so stoked to be right next to food I could usually only get when I visited my family in Taiwan. The night market chicken and stewed pork rice are exactly the way it should be. I need to be careful otherwise I'll end up eating here every day.

I’ve been curious about this place for a while. It’s inside Exxon’s gas station so you can find a space to park fairly easily. Since it’s inside a gas station, the atmosphere is what you’d expect and not comparable to that of a full scale restaurant. However, the food here tastes good. I ordered the beef noodle soup, and it comes inside a plastic bowl. There’s numerous large chunks of beef slices and each bite was tender and delicious. The broth is rich and savory, not overly salty like many other places serving Taiwanese beef noodle soup. The noodles themselves are a bit overcooked and softer than I liked. Overall, I enjoyed this quick meal. And I didn’t need to chug a water bottle afterwards, which is a plus.
Really delicious food - I got the pork bento box with popcorn chicken. I envy the people who live in the area and can go here every day. I highly recommend stopping by. I’ll definitely be back.

Best Taiwanese food in the DMV!!! What a hidden gem!!! It’s super cool that this place is a half Exxon gas station and a half restaurant. Very authentic Taiwanese vibes. If you have been to Taiwan you know all the great delicious local street food places are hidden somewhere in the cities or at the night markets in Taiwan. Personally, this place location is just perfect in Rockville, Maryland. This place represents everything about Taiwan so well. The staffs here are super friendly. They kept this place very clean. Most importantly, everything here on the menu is delicious !!! When I saw this place have Taiwan Apple Sidra (Taiwanese Apple Soda). I already knew this place is going to be amazing!!! All the food here is delicious and the flavors are super spot on when it comes to Taiwanese street food. People in Rockville are very lucky to have an amazing Taiwanese place in the Rockville area. Definitely you should checkout their beef noodle soup if you are a noodle lover. If you like rice, you should definitely order “Lu Rou Fan”- braised pork rice. For appetizer, definitely check out their stinky tofu. I guarantee you won’t regret it. If you want to try American Taiwanese food, just go with the chicken popcorn. Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. Anyway why are you still reading the reviews? Go check out for yourself right now!!!

Had the popcorn chicken that was delicious and crispy full of flavor that my picky eater loved. She took almost a quarter of my chicken. She loved and let me taste the beef fried rice that was really good. To make it better, she actually ate almost all the veggies in the rice. Win for me! As an appetizer portion, it is a good amount for 2 or 3 people to enjoy. Will be come back here again. 😁😁😋😋
