Taiwanese Restaurants near Long Island City, NY

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food, and great service. Cocktails is original and delicious“

“Great food and good prices for lunch. Stopped here one day when I was nearby.

The sesame balls here are so good!!! For catering we got veggie low mein, braised pork, bunch of different potstickers, sesame balls, and everything comes with cutlery if needed. They clearly label everything and the packaging is great because they seal all the containers so they don’t spill and the food came warm to eat. 👏🫶🤤

FYI there’s great catering here too! They offer delivery and have a great setup for any event. Will post pics of the catering if I can find them.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Authentic Taiwanese fried rice. Visited this place a couple of times. Everything is absolutely delicious. Fried rice is comparable to DinTaiFung imo. Brought my parents here and it passed the test for them, so that's saying a lot.

They're also pretty consistent with food quality for takeout and delivery. I just wish they offered more hours.“

“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 👏👏“

“Formosa was a hidden gem for us since we rarely hear people talking about it, which honestly makes it feel like a great little discovery. The space itself is cute and welcoming, and the food absolutely delivers.

We tried a few dishes and everything impressed. The dumplings were a great way to start the meal, and the beef noodle soup was rich, comforting, and packed with flavor. But the real showstopper was the scallion noodles. They were fresh, fragrant, and incredibly flavorful. One of those dishes where everyone at the table pauses for a second because it is that good.

There are so many tempting options on the menu that we already know we will be back soon to try more. I never expected to have great Taiwanese food this close by, but here we are.

If you go, definitely start with a small plate or dumplings before your main dish so you can sample a few things from the menu. This is the kind of place where sharing and trying a little of everything makes the experience even better. 🥟😋“

“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“

“This food here is absolutely delicious while affordable and the place is very cute with enough seating space. The combo deal we tried was really amazing, with unlimited drink refills of your choice! Can't wait to come back and try something new next time :)“

“I got the special rolls and salted egg yolk rolls. The special was good spicy mayo but the salted egg yolk was way too grainy almost unappetizing. I’ll just remember to get them with no salted egg yolk! Will be coming back. I think flavor wise win son bakery gets the upper hand but it’s way too expensive for what you get.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Side Notes/Mini Review- Rating is for the area (if this were in the East Village, for instance, it would be closer to a 3.) Apparently, the other location is known for Sizzling Steak, so possibly get that. Good Niu Rou Mian/Beef Noodle Soup. Tasty Pork Thick Soup/Rou Geng. Would not recommend Lu Ro Fan/Minced Pork Over Rice. Expect a wait as it gets crowded.

This is the second location of this Taiwanese spot, with the other inside the generically named New York Food Court in Flushing. The place is primarily takeout, though there are a handful of tables, and it's been pretty crowded every time I've passed by. They have a rewards program, and I've been there three times so far, and I'm a bit hesitant to go back. In terms of service, they almost dropped my bag the first time, but they've been friendly the other two times.

The first time I went, I got the Minced Pork Over Rice/Lu Ro Fan for $12, which was alright. For pros, the minced pork inside was nice and fatty, helping to flavor the rice, and I liked the pickled mustard greens. However, there wasn't much meat, and the broccoli, peas, and corn were flavorless, with the broccoli still a bit too crunchy, likely a bit undercooked. They also gave only half a tea egg, and it wasn't exactly that flavorful. I wouldn't recommend this at all.

The second time, I got the much better Premium Beef Noodle Soup/Niu Rou Mian for $15.95. The dish is well packaged with the mustard greens separated from the noodles, which are further separated from the broth, which contains the various pieces of beef. The beef had a pleasant chew as it was mostly shank and tendon, and was a decent portion for the price, especially given its location in Midtown East. The broth was pretty complex, reminding me of the now closed Four Four South Village. The noodles lacked a QQ texture, but a good amount of that was probably because it was takeout. This was good, and my favorite thing I've had here.

The third time was very recently, and I had the Pork Thick Soup/Ruo Geng, as recommended by a recent Yelp review, since I was in the mood for soup during this cold winter. The dish was added to the menu more recently and is available as a soup in two sizes ($6.50 for small/$12 for large) or is available over noodles for $16.95. I have never had this dish before, and it was interesting. There was a handful of meatballs inside, apparently made from a mix of pork, pork fat, and fish paste, with a soft texture and a bit of bounce. Otherwise, there were some potatoes, onions, and a few other ingredients in a slightly gloopy broth. The broth had a nice pepperiness, and I picked up some of their black vinegar and chili oil to make the broth more complex later. I liked this as well.

This is a tasty Taiwanese place serving some less common dishes. It's not my favorite Taiwanese spot I've been to, but it gets the job done and is very different from other spots in the area. Would try the Sha Cha next time or order their signature sizzling dishes.“

“Hands down my favorite spot in HK!
-Pork chop: big portion and cooked thin just how I like, comes with sides too
-braised beef & tendon soup, spicy braised beef & tendon soup, and tomato beef & tendon soup: perfect tenderness of the noodles, broth is packed with flavor, tendons are so soft, meat is tender
-popcorn chicken: delicious with the fried basil
-Wood ear mushroom: perfect chew and crunch, vinegary and refreshing
-jade cucumber: gingery and sweet, perfect to balance the fried foods and hearty soups“

“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!“

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“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.“

“Great service and such a fun vibe! Loved the nostalgic feel and all the little details that really bring the train vibe together. The drinks were super unique, and the Taiwanese dish was so good. Definitely coming back! Also, don’t miss the bar on the second floor!“

“The Stinky Tofu is my new favorite here!! The minced pork over rice was pretty good but portions are small. Not a fan of there Intestines, Oyster Thin Noodles!!! Service was pretty good, most of the staff are all Taiwanese which is cool!! Ambiance was nice!! They only take cash!!“

“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.“

“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“

“I don’t typically like bubble tea I find it too sweet and the tapioca too rubbery. This place is the platonic ideal of bubble tea. It is absolute perfection! Get their original you won’t regret it. We ordered two to split for 4 of us and we had to go back an order two more because they were just so good!!! They have lactaid milk and organic milk as an option.“

“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.“

“The MUST-TRY Golden Mango Strawberry Pomelo!! 🥭🍓
This used to be my favorite seasonal drink, and now it’s finally available all year round! The mango is super sweet, the pomelo adds the perfect citrus kick, and the strawberry ties everything together. If you see this on the menu, you HAVE to try it!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“茶的味道很有自己的特色，珍珠很有嚼勁，店整體的設計很舒服，會繼續光顧😋🤙🏻“

“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.“

“I’m not exactly sure what I got but it’s a pork chop set and comes with soda or soup. There are two styles of meat. One being the deep fried sausage, and the other is caramelized pork chop with bone and with out bone (they break down the pork chop for you into bite size), also comes with a tea egg and various types of veggies (string beans, egg plant, zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and pickled radish). $14 cant beat it, it’s 2 meals in one. Over all the dish is great! Savory, sweet and salty, nothing is over powering, it’s very well balanced. Nothing is too oily, white rice will not get soggy ! Mine was pre made sitting in the heat box and it was still fresh and tasted amazing !“

“super delicious bursting with flavors. must try each item!“

“C’est vraiment accueillant les serveuse sont très très gentilles et j’ai kiffer leur boisson et leur plat“
