Well, to be able to have a bowl of authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup inside the gas station in Rockville, Maryland, that’s priceless.

This place is the absolute definition of HIDDEN GEM! Gas station Taiwanese sounds kind of insane, until you eat it and it's amazing and you crave it. We took ours to go and ate it at a picnic table at a nearby park the first time we went. Everything is delicious, but the standouts were the Taiwanese burger (pork bao) with sugared toasted crushed peanuts--Perfectly savory, tender with varying texture elements and the popcorn chicken which was perfectly crispy, juicy, spiced and not greasy. The braised pork with rice is stellar and so homey. The dumplings were hot, fresh and generously filled albeit a tad overcooked, but the flavors and portion size made up for the texture. You can order online or at the counter. Do not let the hesitation of this place's gas station affiliation be a hang up for you. I will come back and try a new item on the menu each time- but will never skip on the "burger" or popcorn chicken.
What a hidden gem! Very authentic Taiwanese dishes that brings me back. The popcorn chicken is a must order. Happy with everything else we ordered for dinner and we had plenty of leftover for lunch the next day. Can’t wait to return and try other dishes! Seating is limited and it is a gas station. So if you don’t like the vibe, maybe order takeout. The owners cannot be nicer.

Unique concept of having a no frills restaurant in half a gas station shop, but the food is truly authentic and generous in serving. I got five good sized braised beef in my beef noodle soup and the broth is solid. (You can't see the noodle in my pic bc all the beef is covering it, but it's under there.)
Spouse's fish steak tasted great. Authentic, however, also means that it comes with spines and the occasional scale.
The lady behind the counter was very friendly - she put an extra wax paper wrapper around the broth container so it wouldn't be too warm to hold. They have an interesting variety of drinks that you would also find at a casual Taiwan roadside eatery such as Heysong, Apple Sidra, Mr. Brown, and some more unique selections. Prices match the portion and effort of the food. There are cheaper ($7-12) quick-eat entrees alongside more expensive (15-19?) but robust dishes as well.
Somewhat limited gas station parking right outside, but there is free parking at the plaza and strip mall a very short walk away, and paid street parking nearby.

This is the most authentic Taiwanese street food I’ve ever had in the US. Wish this is next to my house. I would come here every week.

pretty decent. a little expensive for a gas station restaurant, which is a cute concept.
This may be my favorite "cheap eats" for Asian food. Saw it suggested on IG. Took their suggested cod fish platter. Really enjoyed it... wasn't expecting the fish to be "bone-in". Staff was very accommodating both with the restaurant and the gas station.
Gas station had some good prices on American soda cans if you're not looking for Asian soda.
Hope this restaurant can find a better place without raising prices. Wish that I lived closer.

The best of best! I recommend the cherry shrimp fried rice. It’s better than Ding-Tai-Fong. I definitely will come back again.👍

Fantastic hidden gem tucked away inside a gas station. Some of the most authentic Taiwanese food I’ve ever had in the US - it felt like I was back at a night market in Taiwan!! They also give extra bonus food if you pay with cash!
