“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!“
“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.“
“Got the beef noodle set for two, was satisfied.The Lu Rou Fan was really good, would highly recommend.The other sides were solid as well and the noodle soup is what you would expect/want from a classic Taiwanese beef noodle soup.They operate out of a cute, small space. Appropriately decorated and clean.“
“Pleasantly surprised, and left here feeling satisfied and full. This is definitely one of the better meals I've had in NYC Chinatown. For $8.25 you can get a nice plate of Fried Pork and egg over rice ($7.50 w/o egg), accompanied with some light veggies and a interestingly delicious meat gravy. This dish was plenty, but I was wanting more protein so I added a side dish of fried chicken for $3.50 which came out very crispy and delicious. All the food here came out quickly as well. Would definitely be back to get the same or even try something new.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“Food 9/10Solid and simple popcorn chicken bento, perfect for a fast lunch. They really fill up the bowl with a lot of chicken and rice, so you won’t feel hungry after this meal.Atmosphere 6/10Quite bare bones interior, with two rectangular tables and then some high chairs for solo diners.Service 6/10Super fast with getting the food out, you pay at the counter and get a bento to go.“
“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).“
“This place is pretty decent! Got a combo that came with 2 baos and popcorn chicken. Added the bubble tea but I could do without it because it wasn't the best boba. But the baos and popcorn chicken were very delicious! They ran out of duck baos so got the pork belly and the curry chicken. Would come back to try the other items!“
“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.“
“The red curry chicken is amazing! I visited NYC two years ago and their red curry chicken has been on my mind multiple times since. I forgot to leave a review so I'm doing it now. Can't wait to eat it again when I visit in the future!“
“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 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.“
“The employee who took our order was distracted and brusque. Not at all friendly and pleasant. They have a limited menu and were out of a few items Very limited beverage items. I had to walk down to the Bodega for my drink. My wife had an excellent beer. Our dumplings were good, not remarkable. So many better places to eat.“
“the entire staff is so friendly and amazing. Full of smiles and just an overall great experience. I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy (the owner) who is an intelligent, funny, and amazing person. Stop by chinatown and try the delicious eel with purple rice with some farm fresh mango bubble tea“
