Taiwanese Restaurants near Jersey City, NJ

“Pros: great food, plenty of options
Cons: they can better their service (server missed giving some mini q from my order)

What I recommend: grass jelly signature, if you’re filipino get the tofu pudding (“taho”) but with regular sugar“

“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“

“The staff member who took my order was super sweet, and my food was ready within 10 minutes. The popcorn chicken was juicy, crispy, and flavorful. There were photos of Taipei, fitting for the food served. The restaurant was modern with a few tables for small groups and individuals.“

“I’ve been to this restaurant twice, and while the food is generally good—some dishes, like the fried chicken, stand out—the overall dining experience leaves much to be desired. Both times, our food arrived within minutes of ordering, but the temperature of the dishes was less than ideal, which made it feel rushed. Additionally, the tables are packed very closely together, making it uncomfortable and not very enjoyable.

The service was another drawback; the servers seemed rushed and were not particularly friendly, which took away from the experience. Overall, while the food has its moments, I’d much rather go to Win Son for Taiwanese cuisine, as it offers better quality and a more pleasant dining atmosphere.“

“incredible hole in the wall for taiwanese vibes, we had the braised pork over rice and the beef noodle soup. the braised pork was my fave and beef noodle was sub-best but much more enhanced when adding pickle and hot sauce they provide, aaand it comes with a extra fresh noodle. combo comes with side dishes like karaage so good plus littlem pickled noodles it's a tiny five-seat counter, and you can watch the food freshly being made. amazing experience and food will be ack“

“Very nostalgic and homey atmosphere, as well as friendly and welcoming staff.

The prices are very reasonable for the area ($10 or less). Cash/Venmo preferred.

Their best dishes are the braised pork, hands down. Very tender and fatty. For beef noodle, their beef is tender and the soup is flavorful, but the noodle texture can be better, it was too soggy.

The 3 cup chicken and eggplant are too sweet, in my opinion. The potsticker filling were also just alright, but i like how they pan fried it.“

“Din Tai Fung has been a long-time favorite of mine, and I’ve visited their locations across Asia more times than I can count. So, I was really looking forward to the opening of this NYC location. It took some time, but as soon as I walked in, I could see why. This isn’t like the more casual branches I’m used to – they’ve gone all out, creating a stunning space that’s perfect for a special night out. Though it’s a large venue, it feels intimate, and the table arrangement makes conversations easy. Service was excellent; our waiter was excited to introduce us to the restaurant and stayed attentive throughout the meal.

Now, the food! We tried two varieties of their signature xiaolongbao – the traditional pork and the pork and crab. Both were superb and just as good as what you’d find in Asia. The paper-thin wrappers are some of the best I’ve had outside of the Pacific, with great flavor and delicious soup inside. The pork chop fried rice was also outstanding – tender, juicy pork served over perfectly cooked fried rice. We also enjoyed the seaweed and tofu salad, which was a great starter. I did miss the wild vegetable tofu and sesame oil salad I’ve had in Asia, but I imagine it might be due to ingredient availability here. Prices are a bit higher than their Asian branches, but for me, the atmosphere and quality were worth it. I’ll definitely be back.

Note: Unlike other locations, this one is reservation-only.“

“Great comfort food! Yum!“

“Fantastic Taiwanese cozy dishes , food is very good and fresh. Service ladies are kind . Downside is all serving dishes and silverwares plastic disposables, even for dine-in. I would pay some extra for each dish just to be more environmentally friendly.“

“The food. It’s F$&cking awesome!!!!!!!“

“Amazing Drinks To Get And So Many Delicious Food Options. You Can Also Play Arcade Games To Win Prizes.“

“In Chelsea Market. Great service and very friendly team. The vegan soup was excellent, and the noodles… super fresh. Thank you Victor and your hard working team. Highly recommended 👏👏“

“Every dish on the menu is made with care and precision. I’ve been multiple times and each time the food and quality is consistently delicious. My favorites are the popcorn chicken, Taiwanese sausage, douban cabbage, and most recently, the sha cha beef fried rice. Cocktails are also special, each with their own unique flavor combinations. The interior setting is also versatile for a romantic date, dinner, or casual meet up with friends. There’s also bar seating if you’re rolling solo. I’ve been to a few events in the back room, and it’s perfect for a party with a jukebox and pretty table settings!“

“The menu was a bit confusing and waiter was not very helpful the first time here, however, the food was absolutely superb. I absolutely loved the sesame oil chicken soup although it might taste a bit herbal/medicinal to people who don't eat authentic Chinese food much. The braised beef noodle soup was more of a crowd pleaser if you don't like things to spicy. We have come back here and the service has been better and the food always outstanding.“

“This location was a 5 minute walk from our hotel, so we tried it; & boy were we satisfied with our experience. We ordered the 10 piece, fried dumplings, & they were tasty! Service was pretty quick, & staff was kind. My only con is that there's a charge ($1.25) for extra sauce, however it's such a small amount that it's barely worth it. Nevertheless, I will continue to visit Sanmiwago whenever I'm in NYC Times Square (which is quite often); & I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys good, quality, Chinese food.
Lastly..., Ms. Julie the manager was kind, & gave awesome service. I truly believe that she wants her customers to have a happy, & positive dining experience.“

“Fun casual spot to grab a bite before heading to a Nets or Liberty game! The chicken was my favorite! It was so flavorful and the spicy level was perfect for me. It was just enough to kick but not overwhelming the flavour. The sides are fantastic too.“

“Everything’s perfect! Taiwanese Breakfast and beef noodle soup😍“

“First, the owners that run this place are so friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I ordered a noodle bowl with marinated tofu and veggies, it was fresh and flavorful. I will definitely be back soon, I got my eye on them baos..“

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“Delicious food if not a bit on the expensive side. Their bentos are good with a nice variety, but I keep coming back for their pork braised rice/noodle because it's so good. Give it a shot if you're looking for a cheap and filling meal. If they gave some vegetables it'd be a complete meal for me. Pardon the half ate food, I just wanted to dig in.“

“Fantastic food , very clean , fast service , friendly staff , the Mimi sauce is amazing 😉“

“Our family had a pleasant experience during our visit. The establishment was well-maintained and peaceful, and the cuisine was delicious. The staff provided excellent service. We highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning in the future.“

“Got the veggie dumplings & the seasonal burger dumplings with the scallion ginger rice and it was all really really great! Friendly service and a cute/chill atmosphere. So crazy to me that the past few times i’ve walked by it’s been super empty. It’s definitely worth the stop!!“

“Food so good it made me want to cry. I had fried oysters that were so fresh, juicy, and big with the spicy mayo and rice. Next time will have it with the omelette 🥹

Seriously made for a happy day

Welcoming staff and space“

“Muy delicioso 😋 me encantaría que esté en mi país Ecuador“

“Food is excellent, feels like home food
Service is great, we got our food in 30 sec 5 dishes, atmosphere is pleasing, clean and neat, definitely will come back to try a chicken leg, got pork chop and sour soup 4 out of 5, lady was kind and helped to order their signature dishes.“

“Miss home, so searched up solid taiwanese spot. The pan-fried dumping 鍋貼 ("guo-tie") was exactly how I needed it to be. The popcorn chicken was not as salty as I thought and had a thicker coating than the other ones I have tried in other restaurants. Overall, I was very happy to have visited.

Coming back for the dumplings again.“

“My partner and I just ate here today it's reeeally heckin' good. The chicken cutlets are huge and the Original spice is just the right amount of sweet, and even the standard fries have delicious seasoning. The sweet potato fries are divine. Their boba is also top tier, with my favorite consistency of boba pearls (super soft). The s'mores mochi donut was really good, too!“

“Stopped by at a new second avenue location at 1623 second avenue. They offer a wide variety of eat in or take out food that is easy to eat or make. The product has choices of fried, boiled sandwiched or soup dekendung on your mood. Delivery through grub hub app and a welcome addition to the upper east side food scene“

“If you’re craving bao buns, Boa by Kaya is a hidden gem. The bao buns are hands down some of the best I’ve ever had—fresh, hot, and made to order every time. Their lunch specials are an incredible deal, with everything priced under $15, making it an affordable yet top-quality spot for a quick bite.

The service is efficient and friendly, and you won’t have to wait long unless you arrive during peak lunch hours when it gets crowded. If you can avoid the rush, it’s a perfect spot for a quick, delicious meal. Highly recommended!“

“It’s a cute place! I appreciate that it has seating. Plus the food+ drink combo options are nice! They have a bunch of drink options, but my friend and I opted for a Brown Sugar Milk tea and a Mango Green tea. The mango green tea wasn’t what I expected! As it had a lot of mango pulp and less of the refreshing tea vibe I expected. Also my friend’s milk tea was quite diluted and mostly tasted of the milk.“

“This is the one bubble tea place I frequent most and It's always good and the boba are usually perfect but I have gotten them real soft and gooey at times . Staff I cordial and all business but it works well. I get the coconut bubble tea. Prices are typical NYC $$.“

“Me and my friend went to this spot today and we loved it. The flavor was delicious, we are going back soon, it’s really yummy. I’ll give this place a 10. It’s on my favorite list. I’ll recommend.“

“I love the milk tea also juices and brown sugar milk tea ☕️“

“Solid 4 star. It was cramped with 5 employees. Not a sit down. It's a hole in the wall shop. I ordered the pork with pickle veggies. It's a classic item. I liked it but was not a fan of mayonnaise. There was mayonnaise in the middle. Before buying, ask if they use any sauces. If I knew there was mayonnaise I would tell them to leave it out. Then the rice roll will be good.“

“The basil popcorn chicken is amazing The honey bubble tea just off the hook gotta go again“

“It's a strange location inside; the partition between the customer and the food preparers make it appear if it's set up either for COVID or for a bad neighborhood that has experienced robberies. But the drinks are excellent, and although it was too cold for shaved ice, it looked authentic - no need to go to Taipei!!!“

“Seeing the hotplate dish on Google review and curious about trying it out so I came here. The place is very convenient and easy to get to. Small tidy restaurant with so many different decorations on the wall. Did a walk in and got seated right away. They didn't have the food that I wanted so I ordered something else. Food came out fast, good service from the staff. They take cash or zelle, very interesting type of payment (first time seeing a place taking zelle).“
