Taiwanese Restaurants in Middletown, NJ

“I love this place, authentic Taiwanese food only 10 minutes away. Take out only, have come here many times. The beef noodle soup is fantastic, both the spicy braised beef soup and “Vietnamese style”. The pickled and thickened soups are very good as well. San Bei Ji (Three Cup Chicken) is one of my favorite dishes and the version here is pretty good. The prices are very reasonable. Yes, the food is sold out the back of a bowling alley. Don’t mind that, it’s great takeout and I’m glad they’ve stayed open after the pandemic. Hours posted on Google are off - I think they open at 5 pm.“

“The perfect example of you can't judge a book by it's cover. The whole bowling center and parking lot that this restaurant is attached to looks like it was abandoned probably 20 years ago. From the outside, you would not think that any business was still running here. The restaurant has black tinted windows that you can't see inside, so it look dark and closed. The entrance to the blowing alley looks like it was chained up and closed. Both are more than open, but are great. The bowling alley is modern inside and well lit. The restaurant says "China Palace" but it's actually authentic Taiwanese food. Everything from oyster omelets, to meat cup cake, thick soup with vermicelli, to braised pork over rice dishes. Because of the pandemic ongoing, they are only doing takeout at the moment, but it's worth the effort to get there. Wherever GPS guides you, take it, because it's not leading you to an abandoned alley, it's actually very much alive. The prices were on the slightly higher side, not overly expensive, but worth the extra price for the authentic taste. I am only not giving five stars because it's not eat in, and because the decor of the interior, unlike the bowling alley, is stuck in very much 1970's decor. When we have a chance to eat in, will update this, but for now, 5 stars on the food, brought down one star only because could not eat in.“
