Taiwanese Restaurants in New York, NY

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

“Waited an eternity to get in - almost 2 hrs. We got our names down for an hour later, came back at that time, and then had to wait down in the lower level all over again before finally getting a table. The food itself was just okay, nothing too bad or too good based on what we ordered (steamed dumplings, spicy noodles, and chicken fried rice). Overall, the wait is definitely not worth the food.“

“Three of us came here for dinner on a Friday night. We were seated right away. The hostess and waiter (Eric), as well as the other waitstaff, were very professional and friendly. We ordered the kimchi sunchoke croquettes, drunken king oyster mushroom, salted egg potato wedges, chili smoked squid, truffle dirty rice and the fried platter. The sunchoke croquettes, drunken king oyster mushroom, and chili smoked squid were standouts. The Kaohsiung and Hsinchu cocktails were delicious.“

“Great comfort food! Yum!“

“Do yourself a huge favor and order the Taichung cocktail - the taro foam on top is to DIE for creamy and tasty, and the drink itself is so refreshing and pleasant. The drink tokens for the tea-infused liquors are sooo cool and fun, we all got different kinds and shared. Super yummy. Great spot so close to Grand Central, wish I had known about it sooner! Will definitely be back! Don’t sleep on the beef noodle soup, either. The ube tart was the perfect dessert. Wow, great experience and amazing vibes. Treat yourself here 👏👏👏“

“One of the best restaurants in the area, especially for what you pay. Absolutely one of my favorites. Already been a handful of times and will be back for sure.

Salt and pepper chicken if you need a recommendation, but it's all great.“

“I LOVE their black pepper rice rolls. My new lunch snack for work. They're small, but packed with rice, protein and veggies so they fill you up quite fast. Love the real fruit teas as well, especially kiwi. Staff is really sweet. They're a neighborhood staple. Give them your $$$“

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

“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“

“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 👏👏“

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

“Ordered the dumplings and these are the best dumplings I ever had in this area. They’re really outstanding! Been to few other places in NYC CT , and there’s no comparison. Can’t comment on their other items since I only order dumplings.“

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“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“

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

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

“rice bowls are a symphony“

“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!“

“This place makes the best fried chicken leg - very flavorful and juicy. And the table service is excellent. There’s only one host serving this small restaurant and she is very attentive. This restaurant has take-out next door for those looking for to-go orders.“

“I am giving this 4 stars because my son and I both had good drinks, nothing over the top, but good. We had already eaten so I can't comment on the food, but if you are looking for bubble tea, it is good, nothing over the top and would make me go out of my way to come back, but if I were in the area I would.“
