Taiwanese Restaurants near Elmhurst, NY

“My mom and I have come to this place and ordered lots of food like stinky tofu, beef stew, oyster pancake and others. The food was awesome, and the service was wonderful. The atmosphere was like there were pictures of famous Taiwan landmarks, and people eating in there and others.“

“服務人員親切，用了很足，味道也很夠。推薦啤酒鴨，雞捲，和當歸湯“

“菜色多樣美味好吃 台閩南風味“

“One of my best place to eat🤓👍🏻❤️“

“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!“

“Delicious dumplings. They're so good. Also, I recommend the garlicky cucumbers for a light & tasty appetizer. Very clean, cozy, polite staff. 5 stars for sure.“

“We loved our meal at Wenwen! Food was delicious and our waitress could not have been nicer. After I mentioned that it was my brother's birthday hoping they could put a small candle on the dessert, she presented a beautiful dessert with a candle and comped it! I was not expecting that and really appreciated it. Highly recommend and look forward to returning soon!“

“Super yummy lou rou fan that may be my favorite in the city.

Winter melon boba was also pretty solid and tapioca was really soft. Winson could absolutely never. Space is gorgeous and homely with open-concept lunch tables and large bar area.“

“Gulp in Long Island City is a true hole in the wall spot with a lot of charm. The space is tiny, with only 5 seats, so be prepared to wait. We waited about 30 minutes for 3 seats to open, but it was absolutely worth it. I had the beef noodle soup, and it was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. One of the coolest parts of the experience was discovering the speakeasy in the back. While we were waiting, I saw a group of six suddenly come out and was so confused about where they had even been hiding. Turns out there is a door through the small restaurant that leads to a bar in the back, which made the whole place feel even more unique and memorable. Definitely a tiny spot with a big personality.“

“We were looking for authentic, delicious, and fairly priced platters for our Chinese New Year celebration and found A-Pou. A-Pou not only helped us put together the menu, but she included extra special goodies like sesame balls / egg rolls / fortune cookies. Even though Sunday was her day off, she still prepared and delivered the platters to our apartment which was so appreciated. All of our guests RAVED about the food (especially the potstickers, basil chicken, and lo mein).

A-Pou was also amazing to work with from beginning to end - she’s just the sweetest lady. Highly encourage paying her restaurant a visit and calling her if you have catering needs!“

“The staff were polite, patient and welcoming. The woman working was very patient and helpful to help me pick my order. The food was great; there’s nothing I could nit-pick about it. Food was fresh, hot, tasty. I ordered this fried chicken cutlet with rice combination platter. But to be honest, I’m convinced whatever I ordered was gonna taste great and fresh. The vibe was relaxed and cozy. Easy 5/5, you got great people making great food.“

“Authentic Taiwanese cuisine! Love their shaven ice.“

“Owen and the staff were all fantastic. Patrick at the bar was very friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely return each time I'm in NYC. Everything was amazing. Pork dumplings, chocolate dumplings with the sea salt foam, and their signature shochu sesame espresso martini are an absolute must. I'll be dreaming of them until next time.“

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

“Taiwan Pork Chop House is an absolute gem. In a city where dinner can easily spiral, this might be one of the best value meals you can find in NYC and you will leave completely full.

The pork chop is the namesake for a reason. It is flavorful, satisfying, and hits that perfect comfort food note. But the real standout for us was the salt and pepper chicken. Crispy, well seasoned, and incredibly addictive. The kind of dish where you keep reaching back in for just one more piece.

This is the spot you go to when you want to stretch your dollar without sacrificing flavor. Generous portions, no frills, just honest food that delivers every time.

Also, treat the people here kindly. The staff is warm and hardworking, and that energy makes the experience even better. Places like this are what make New York special. I love it and cannot wait to come back. 🍗💸“

“Great comfort food! Yum!“

“masarap yung chicken nila, and mag eenjoy talaga sa mga claw machine“

“******
What a lovely place! An extra star must be added manually compared to other noodle places.

The beef noodle soup was delicious — perfectly cooked noodles and big chunks of tender beef shank. The broth was so flavorful. I didn’t finish it, so I saved some for the next day, and it still tasted great.

I also ordered the fried sticky tofu, which
was amazing — honestly, it tasted even better the next day.

The server is a very polite and friendly young man, and the owner/chef is a lovely lady. The restaurant is very clean as well. If I wasn’t trying to stay on a diet, I would visit them every week!“

“Fan fried rice bar was indeed great. Loved the pastrami fried rice, the cucumber salad and popcorn chicken.

Quality cocktails like Burning rose with mezcal and Breakfast old fashioned were perfect with the food and experience.

Have had the fried rice with wagyu beef as take away on another occasion. High quality, large portions.

Polite and helpful staff.

Recommended! I will return.“

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

“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 👏👏“

“Very traditional and decent taiwanese dessert. Like the taro flavor so much😋“

“A great spot if you’re craving a warm and satisfying bowl of noodles. I would definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone who enjoys comforting noodle soups.
The appetizers were also excellent. The century egg was fresh and creamy. The sausage was juicy and slightly sweet, which paired well with the savory dishes. The popcorn chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.“

“Brooklyn Taiwanese Breakfast ||| Recently on TikTok has been pushed this Taiwanese breakfast, I saw the scallion pancake bacon egg n cheese and glutinous rice balls and said I must try it. A random Thursday in a long line (or social media marketing well done) ordered a rice ball, a scallion pancake bec, iced sweet soy milk and a red rice donut (delicious) I think the scallion pancake is a little too hard, the bacon is also on the burnt side of crispy, the texture of the dry and not imagined fluffy, but the dipping sauce is amazing. But the dipping sauce was amazing. The sticky rice dumplings were good, and the best was the red rice donut, which was fermented and tasted a bit like red wine. If you're close by, you can try Williamsburg“

“Chinatown has so many great dumpling options, and this is one of them. Tucked away in a modest food hall, this Taiwanese food stall serves a variety of friend and boiled dumplings, and adds an egg drop soup for free with a dumplings purchase. It is no frills, but tasty.“

“I really liked this new dumpling place in BK. We got the kimchi and special pork dumplings as well as the beef noodles. All dishes were really good!

I loved the no-frills atmosphere and the quick service. Looking forward to go again.“

“Tasty & cheap Taiwanese fare. A fun place to eat! the best fried pork chop & popcorn chicken. Also tasty. stinky tofu ❤“

“This restaurant exceeds what you'd expect in every way. It's easy to find with helpful staff. The food features cleverly matched flavors. The workers explain preparation methods with genuine interest. Nuan Xin Rice Roll demonstrates professional execution.“

“Summary - I have been here now about three or four times and honestly, I enjoy this place downstairs toothpaste good service. I keep trying different things in interest. Something are too sweet but the beef noodle soup is great. Overall, pretty happy all the time.

Food – so I’ve had many different things here beef noodle soup spicy not spicy pork chops sausage all the small side, dishes, and pleasantly impressed. Overall with everything. The soup remains my favorite. However, the spicy is too spicy the pork chop and the sausage we both both solid however they were a little sweeter than I normally would like and I can’t wish there was sticky rice.

Atmosphere – it’s very cute and kind of hidden. It’s downstairs almost like basement so it’s not the staff is super attentive. Service is super fast and I just keep going back cause I feel at home. It’s very homie.“

“I’ve finally found my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in the east coast. This spot is the spot to try if you want real authentic Taiwanese food with extensive menu items. My eyes lit up when I saw the menu. The owners are from Tainan, Taiwan which is often consider the culinary capital of Taiwan with many iconic traditional dishes and flavors.

The restaurant is spacious but it does not have many table seatings (3-5 tables?). When we came it wasn’t busy so we got a spot but we did see many people coming in for their takeout orders. The oldies they play at the restaurant take me back to my childhood. The place is structured very interestingly where it’s an open kitchen so you can actually easily see how they prep the food in the back.

We ordered:
- oyster omelette pancake
- mung wort kueh (4 pieces)
- danzai noodle
- mixed spice platter

The oyster omelette was the highlight! The bottom is crispy and they use a generous amount of oysters. It’s the most authentic oyster pancake I’ve had in the east coast. Alot of other “Taiwanese spots” don’t make it correctly.

I also love the mung wort kueh (hard to find places that sell this) - it’s a fun snack to take to go. It’s a savory mochi bun with shredded radish as the main ingredient.

The danzai noodle is an iconic dish from Tainan. Its main star consists of the one shrimp and the marinated ground braised pork. Although I would prefer the dry version but they serve the soup version here. The broth tastes very clear and clean, doesn’t feel like it’s dosed with salt and MSG.

We got the mixed platter - an iconic street food in Tainan is 滷味 (Lou Wei) which is consist of different ingredients tossed and braised in a soy-based spice sauce. They have a nice selection of Lou Wei options and the platter we got had pork belly, duck neck, tofu skin, and lotus roots. The spicy duck neck can be intimidating for those that have never had it but it is fun to eat.

There are so many items on there that I can’t wait to try. For first timer, definitely get the oyster pancake and Luroufan! I can’t wait to come back and try more of the traditional Taiwanese dishes. They also have frozen dumplings that you can buy to go. 50 pieces for $28-$30 is a pretty good price!“

“Located inside Kings Plaza on the second floor, this is a good spot for some relatively inexpensive and okay chinese food/takeout. They have a self-service buffet in a overload-your-plate-one-time style. We ordered the kungpao chicken with rice, and stir fried noodles with a can of coke to share. They did not have diet coke, only regular. Portions were big for our appetites, we ended up bringing ⅔rds of the noodles back home with us.“

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“Having just returned from the vibrant streets of Taiwan, my taste buds were still singing with the authentic flavors I experienced. I was honestly a little skeptical about finding anything that could truly compare back home, but this place absolutely blew me away!
From the first bite, it was clear that this isn't your average street food. There's a noticeable elevation in the quality and presentation, but thankfully, the authentic taste remains completely intact. It's like a delicious flashback to the night markets of Taipei – the same incredible aromas, the same satisfying textures, and those unmistakable, bold flavors that define Taiwanese cuisine.
If you're craving a true taste of Taiwan without the long flight, look no further. This spot has managed to capture the magic and deliver an experience that genuinely competes with the real deal. Highly, highly recommended!“

“I am so glad that a dear friend of mine recommended and brought me to this very unpretentious restaurant on Main Street, Flushing. Known for its authentic Taiwanese cuisine, this place doesn’t disappoint. Service is great with experienced servers that are attentive and friendly. To start, pickled napa cabbage and soft boiled peanuts are placed on the table. Followed by a complementary plate of sautéed cabbage in light oil. Succulent and delish. We ordered a few dishes to share and all of them were memorable! I particularly liked their shredded pork with Chinese celery. The Mapo tofu is simply full of flavor with the right amount of chili. The chicken in the clay pot is divine and full of flavors too. We also ordered the fresh clams with basil sautéed with bird’s eye chili. So good, we asked for more rice. All in all, a nice local restaurant with no frills but thrills your palette. Note: Cash only. 🤷🏽‍♂️“

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

“Great food. Good seasoning with big enough portions for a guy. Rare case where I eat every dish in a bento. However this place is slow. Takes a while to bring out your food. Also the staff kids were being a disturbance. I get that asian places will keep their kids around the store and I get it’s sometimes necessary. However I’ve seen staff lids in asian places sit still and be quiet while here the kids ate constantly walking around and making high pitched young kid whining not yet full language kind of noise and it’s annoying.“

“Great atmosphere and service. The place looks great, it feels modern, and while it's loud, you can still talk. It's good for small groups only.

The food was good, but nothing impressed me. I would give the quality maybe 4/5. However, the portions were small for the price, so I'm lowering the score. I can't really recommend anything I tried and I won't be recommending this place. I felt I got better value from Gulp!, their take-out window.“

“I traveled from Chile on vacation and I wanted to eat takoyaki since I can't find it here, I really liked it, the sauce is very good, it combines well with the bonito and the octopus, the only thing is 2 things: the food court in the mall is somewhat difficult to get to xDDD and I would make the takoyaki a little smaller, the rest was very good“

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“Yummy yum food one of my facorite“

“🧋BEST BOBA IN TOWN 🧋
If you are in flushing you definitely need to stop and try Xing Fu Tangs brown sugar boba drink ! Their drinks are so unique, their bobas are out of this world made freshly in store making the boba pearls are warm, chewy, & so delicious to eat. I’m obsessed and will continue to put people on“

“My sister and I have been to this place and ordered oyster pancake, beef noodle soup, stinky tofu, and others. The food and service were fantastic and yummy. The atmosphere was that there were lots of people because it is part of a mall food court on the bottom level.“

“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!“

“鹽酥雞 臭豆腐 肉羹湯 滷肉飯 真的很道地喔 像是在台北士林夜市一樣 沒想到在紐約也可以吃到“

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

“Small store front that serves delicious bubble tea 🧋 and rice balls. They use all natural real ingredients for their teas (no powders). They also have non dairy milk options for teas including lactaid and soy milk. It was cold so we ordered the hot jasmine green milk tea with soy and boba. Very delicious. Also the rice balls 🍙 are made to order so you it was a awesome snack for the cold weather!!“

“The drinks here are delicious and I always have a good experience!“

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

“This place has amazing tasting food for amazing price. My colleague who knows the area well broguht me here for lunch. It is fast Chinese but the taste was pretty darn good. I had #1 pork chop with the egg and it was just $8. You cannot find such price in the city. The kind lady kept pouring me tea which was pretty nice of her. If i lived by I would probably frequent it. I do want to return to try the fried chicken legs.“
