“My husband and I were visiting from Seattle and had been told this was a must try and we were not disappointed. The restaurant itself is busy but cozy and cool. Every dish we had was incredible. Scott and his front of house staff were an absolute delight. It was our anniversary and they definitely made us feel special. We'll be back for sure! Pro tip - make a point to hit their bakery across the street as well. The mochi donut is where it's at.“
“Pecking House had some of the best fried chicken I have had in recent times. It was elevated and you could tell there is an extra level of sophistication to their chicken. Different flavors, different techniques and some Asian fusion aspects that pair so perfectly well with the classic American style fried chicken. Cornbread was excellent, dirty fried rice was also superb and the chili chicken sandwich really hit the spot. Can't wait to return to Pecking House in the future! Service was also excellent; super attentive and next level for a more casual place like this one. Don't sleep on the Peanut butter pudding!“
“Came here for a birthday dinner and absolutely loved it! Because we had a large group we did the pre-fixe menu and it comes with a tonnnn of food, all amazing! I wish I had taken more pictures but standouts include the cold sesame noodles, popcorn chicken, and lettuce wraps among others. The service was excellent and their drink selection is quite good! I wish I had tried some of the cocktails but I was also perfectly content with my glasses of orange wine. I would love to come back again and try out other items on the menu!“
“Mama Lee is truly one of a kind. Cooking is her passion and it comes through in the dining experience. Food was great and service was above and beyond. A home cooked meal in Brooklyn. She even packed our kids extra soup to go.Kid-friendliness: Mama Lee went out of her way for our kids with complimentary soup, chicken salad, and lemonade.“
“The best thing about the restaurant is the old lady that owns the restaurant! Absolutely! Adorable and soo sweet! The beef noodle dish was so5 stars for 5 seasons1. Owner is sweet! Sweetest old lady you’ll ever meet!2. Beef noodle dish was perfection! Super flavorful, noodle texture perfect! Beef was so tender!3. Price was amazing!4. Fast service! Super!5. Location was good! Not the best!“
“The portions were really big and the chicken sandwich was delicious. you can tell the chicken was fried fresh and the sauce was so tasty on the soft bun. the beef noodle soup was also super flavorful and the meat was tender. good quick, casual meal.“
“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..“
“Every single dish was so unique, flavorful, filling and exceeded our expectation. Our favorites were the soft shell grab sandwich CEC sandwich and the thick cut bacon dish. The service was also great for how busy they were at closing time. They even gave us free chicken for our wait. Will definitely be back here soon!!“
“I really enjoyed my visit to 886, which has been on my list for a while! The Notorious TFC was a standout dish. The fried chicken was very juicy and generously sized. The slaw in the sandwich had a really refreshing slaw. The beef noodle soup was pretty good, although I think the broth was a bit too thick. The service was fast and I liked that the restaurant had a lot of cute Taiwanese decor. I would like to come back to try their drinks, which sound really good.“
“I've been taking my friends here for years and this is right across from my office. My favorite is the dan dan noodle. The staff is also very attentive and kind. I came back after picking up my food to ask for a to-go box and though they were super busy the guy remembered me and asked why I was back. When I mentioned I needed to-go container they checked which dish I got, and they communicated that quickly to each other and got me the box, and 2 bags to hold it (I had a lot of noodles/chili oil so it was double wrapped to stop things from spilling).I appreciate that they have such good food and are so attentive even when they're so busy!“
“I visited I'Milky with friends after a hotpot dinner in Chinatown! It wasn't too busy inside (Sunday night) and there was plenty of seating for everyone. it was a great place to sit, enjoy our drinks,and chat about before we separated.I would definitely recommend I'Milky. I ordered a large fresh milk taro with boba. The boba was sweet and chewy, but the star was really the fresh taro! It isn't the stereotypical taro drink, which usually comes out as purple (and most real taro I've seen aren't purple but a milky white color). You can't adjust the sugar in the drink, but I honestly thought the sugar in the drink itself was perfect! I was always really excited to drink up real taro chunks and found the milk really frothy and a great complement to the taro. The drink was a bit pricey at about ~$10 after tax, but definitely a special treat. I'd get this drink again, but there were many other items on the menu that I really want to try!“
“Very good dumplings, the braised beef was phenomenal too. Was kinda annoyed as I waited awhile but it was definitely worth it. Looking forward to trying the noodle next time.Do yourself a favor and skip wah fung and don't be a cheapskate and come here.“
“Generally, the food here is decent; but the one thing that keeps bringing me back (despite the steep price, as compared to what one might pay in Taiwan) is their fan tuan. If they were cheaper, I'd probably be here several times more often. The rice is perfect, and the yo tiao is so perfectly crispy.“
“Within a few minutes and under $10, you're in and out the door with a fried pork chop over rice with seasoned egg. Atop the rice, is meat gravy and pickled mustard greens that go perfectly with it. Get a side of the fried chicken leg if you're feeling especially hungry.“
“I LOVE Taiwan pork chop house. The food here is delicious and inexpensive. Their pork chop is a must try. I really enjoyed their sides too, specifically the marinated seaweed and fried bean curd. I also had wonton soup during my last visit and loved it. Everyone there is also very nice and I've enjoyed every visit.“
“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“
“Very friendly staff and yummy drinks! Came here while waiting for my express bus just outside and had a good experience. The only thing is that there isn't much space to sit if there are already people there, so you might be better off just getting your stuff to go rather than eating in.“
“It was a little tight seating wise but also one of the only places in the area I could find with seating. The price to seating size was almost perfect and it was some of th3 best fried rice I've ever had. The dumplings I stole off my partners plate were good too :^)They have self order kiosks so if you wanted to you would t if had to talk to anyone. It was fantastic and a great place to chill out at the end of a long day of walking“
“This place is beyond amazing. Super clean ! Delicious ? soups, amazing dumplings ?. It's a hidden ? gem. The employees are very attentive and super quiet so that you can enjoy your time there. I honestly am blown away!!! Please bring your loved one and have a wonderful experience.Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of space for your kids.“
“Fried rice with pork chop was pretty nice in terms of flavor. For what is literally fried pork, it wasn’t as greasy as I initially anticipated. Minor complaint I had about the dish though was that it was still pork chop whose bone needs to be separated by some knifing. To do that on the top of the rice was bit inconvenient and annoying.Cucumber dish was nice side kick to the rice dish.Another minor complaint I had was about the restaurant’s temperature. On the day I visited, outside was like 0 celsius and inside felt like 15 celsius. It wasn’t cold but I hoped it was warmer especially when I were to be served with ice cold water.Kinda want to try and evaluate how they made their version of kimchi as a Korean but overall my gut feeling is that I will feel somewhat lazy and hesitated to revisit here.밥과 고기의 맛 자체는 괜찮았으나 막 또 먹으러 오고 싶은 정도인지는 좀 잘 모르겠습니다. 김치를 small dish로 팔길래 궁금하기는한데… 오이 small dish는 오이김치 안 매운 버전인데 밥 옆에 반찬으로 딱이었습니다.“
“I pass this all the time and was super interested in the menu because they had a lot of Taiwanese street foods. I got the popcorn chicken and was surprised at how crispy it was. The chicken was a little dry but the seasoning was good. I definitely want to go back to try the other things on the menu.“
“Oh my god I don’t know where to begin I never had Taiwanese chicken before I only seen pictures on Instagram so when I saw how huge the size of the cutlet was when they gave it to me I couldn’t believe my eyes now when you see the price you might clutch your wallet butttttt for 8.99 it is worth it the cutlet is so huge it is a meal in itself and the chicken is so well marinated that it retains its juices there’s many ways you can order it you can order it plain and/or also get powder seasoning on top. Now I ordered the sweet chili cutlet and I was a little disappointed when I found out you can only get powder on the plain one but after trying the sweet chili cutlet I understood why it doesn’t need anything else it’s amazing by itself. So come here order a cutlet and wash it down with some bubble tea I ordered the mango sago my only complaint is I wouldn’t got it without milk had I known it was in there and if they had a vegan cutlet option that would be nice but I’m definitely coming back as a regular.“
“We got the brown sugar pearl milk tea and the lemon iced tea, plus some little rice balls as a snack.Perfect place to drop in and get some takeaway. Prompt service and the drinks have a good ratio of sweetness to flavour.We were only in Williamsburg for a week but we came back here multiple times. It’s open late so we could drop by on the way back from an event.“
“Chun Yang Tea offers over 42 different beverages to choose from. Small but there is room for two tables with chairs. There are stools for additional seating at the window. I ordered the winter melon drink which was pretty delicious and refreshing.“
“Stopped by around 1h30 pm for lunch on a rainy, rainy day - there was only one other person eating there (who I later realised was one of the employees). I ordered the railroad pork chop bento (懷舊鐵路便當). While I was waiting for the food, I noticed the big box of cardboard boxes in the corner, which - if my experience eating Taiwanese cuisine means anything - was definitely a green flag. It's overall a clean interior with not many seats; I'm not sure how busy it gets, but maybe most people order takeaway.My food came out in a classic round box - uncovered since I wanted to dine-in. It smelled SO good - a mix of the quintessential Taiwanese flavours of pork chop, minced pork sauce over rice, and the stir-fried 高麗 Taiwanese cabbage.The pork chop was really yummy, although it was less crispy than I expected. The meat was juicy and tender but a bit lacking small relative to the amount of rice/veggies.I love Taiwanese cabbage so much, and it's actually surprisingly difficult to find in restaurants in NYC, even Taiwanese places (well, at least well-/traditionally-cooked Taiwanese cabbage). There was so much cabbage and it was SO delicious - I wolfed down each and every leaf. Tasted just like it was from the corner 自助餐 places I'd go to in Taiwan.Rice came in a good portion size, and overall I think this was the perfect size for one person to eat. Although, I will just quote the NYT here as an aside: "At Taiwan Bear House, each bento costs less than $10 and is fuel for a day. (In Taiwan, it would be less than $3.)" Well, it came out to around $14 today, and last I checked, it was slightly over $3 in Taipei now.Jokes aside, though, I'm well aware that NYC is NYC and the costs are just different; and for bento like this in America, I'm happy to pay this "premium" lol. I'd love to come by to try some of the other bentos and sides; if the pork chop rice was this good, I'm sure everything must be super yummy, too! A few more visits and it might have become my favourite TW place in NYC :)“
“Great hole in the wall located near 8th avenue. Highly recommend ordering in advance and picking up as parking is your typical street parking experience.Delicious food, great value for your money, friendly and efficient staff.I’ve already had food from here more than 5 times and I’d still continue to return. It’s so healthy and filling.CASH ONLY.“
“Four Four South Village is an affordable Taiwanese spot with quick service. Went on a Saturday for lunch time and we were the only guests there, so we were seated immediately and service was very fast. Service was quick, quality of service was ok - This is an in and out type of place. The restaurant is spacious and you don't feel crammed at all, unlike many places in the area. Started off with the Jade Cucumber and Spiced Edamame. Both solid - if you are going to share the starters, get 2+ since the starters are portioned small. Got the Noodles with Beef & Braised sauce. The noodles were thick and tasty and the sauce was good. Recommend asking for some soy sauce and pouring a generous amount in - It really elevated the flavor and took the dish up a notch.“
“Located in the Urbanspace W 52nd food hall, Bao by Kaya sells large portions of noodle dishes, served up rice bowl style.The food hall was fairly busy on a Thursday afternoon. My wife and I decided to get noodle bowls, so we ordered two: Dan Dan Noodles and Szechuan Beef Noodles, both priced at $14.99 each. Once paid, you would wait for a bit (5 minutes) and then pick up your tray once they call out your name.The lunch crowd was clearing out, so we were able to find seating for 4 at the upper dining hall. Both dishes came in plastic to-go bowls, and was very generous in serving size (if I could do it again, I would have just ordered one noodle bowl and maybe got one bao to taste). The thick rice noodles are obviously fresh, and are a great conduit for the sauce to stick to. One small issue was that the dishes had ingredients that normally would not be in the dish, if strictly following the name. I really liked the Szechuan Beef: there was 6 thicks slices of braised beef shank and liberal use of peanut sauce with pickled vegetables..but not sure why that would be considered Szechuan. The Dan Dan noodles....not really, which I think threw my wife for a loop. It used peanut sauce, plus had a lot more ingredients than mentioned on the menu (e.g. hard boiled egg, pickled vegetables like carrots and fresh veggies like kale and red cabbage), along with a white sauce I couldn't place my finger on. One bowl would have been plenty for the two of us for lunch, and since we didn't want to carry around food for the rest of the day, we sadly had to throw about half of it away. It would have been absolutely a great meal the next day (for me at least).“
“I recently tried Taiwan Station for lunch, and I must say it was an overall good experience. The fried chicken leg bento was delicious, served with a side of vegetables (cabbage and broccoli). The rice was topped with braised pork, two slices of pickled daikon, and, of course, the chicken leg, which was cooked thoroughly and crispy on the outside. The bento also came with a clear soup/broth, a nice complement to the meal. The service was quick and friendly. I think it is a good spot for anyone looking for a quick meal in the neighborhood.“
“I honestly enjoyed my food , this is my second time returning to this establishment and I ordered a chicken & shrimp rice ball and a taro slush my food was soo yummy ? uuugghh highly recommend if your looking for a quick snack. I was only a bit disappointed because I ordered a miso soup and most of it spilled out.“
“Amazed!!!! I was in the Hoboken area passed by the storefront which really wasn't much catchy to the eye. Decided to give it a try. I ordered fried pork cutlet over rice with Japanese curry sauce on the side and a strawberry frozen drink. I can truly say for it being my first time visiting the establishment will be visiting more often. The meal was cooked to perfection the staff very happy and friendly. 5 stars straight thru.“
“Viva bubble tea is always been excellent no matter whenever time whatever time Etc it is a great place if you like that type of stuff if you like those teas and have Bubbles and all that stuff once again I highly recommend you stop and visit let them know the chef Eddie said Hello thank you continue to subscribe and like have a great day bye.“
“I dined here in December 2019 with my daughter during a fun day in Soho. The dumplings were absolutely delicious, and I would love to go back and see how they have evolved since then. I do not remember which dumplings we had, but I think we also had a scallion pancake.“
“My daughter has been going to this bubble tea shop since her sophomore year. She’s a senior now. I can't even begin to tell you how many funny stories she's come home and told me about from the staff. The atmosphere is comfortable as well as stylish. They recently redecorated their shop for Halloween, as you guys can see from the photos, and my daughter loves it. She told me, and I quote, “I was having the worst day ever until I walked into the shop and saw all their decorations.” She loves Halloween, and for her to have somewhere safe and comfortable to go after school with people who recognize her and feel safe makes me so happy. Their food/drinks are great, they also have a variety of options to choose from which I and my daughter loves. Another great note about this place is if you order a food and a drink, it's under $20!! Please check this place out and tip them if you're able to.“
“I liked TKK very much. Their chicken is same as in Taiwan and very juicy. There are many people in NYC like it. When I arrived TKK in NYC, there are A LOT people here. Finally, the location is very good. When you arrive 23 street subway station, just cross road and walk for 1 min. You will arrive TKK.“
“I usually get the Q mochi milk shaved ice (size Large) , it contains Q mochi, vanilla ice cream, mini taro balls, sweet potato taro balls. Overall, the size large was a good portion for two people, definitely recommend if you want something cold and sweet.“
