Best bang for your bucks on their lunch box at 8 bucks flat, tax included! Free soup when dining in. Cheaper than Yellow River and they not stingy on the portion too like YR.

This is a casual Taiwanese restaurant in Houston Chinatown. The food was cheap and delicious, but the environment was slightly dirty and old. We got the oyster pancake, fried chicken with squid tempura, beef noodle soup and lurou noodle - all were very good and filling. There was complementary soup as well - though it was mostly sesame oil in hot water with some bits of egg and tomatoes.

The food here is absolutely delicious and authentic! The fried chicken steak is a solid 10/10 — hands down the best Taiwanese-style chicken I’ve had in Texas so far. Highly recommend this place!

Lovely, authentic Taiwanese cuisine

The owner is so friendly and heartwarming. Portions are quite generous and the food tastes great while being extremely affordable. I’ve tried the salt and paper fried chicken nuggets and it’s always well-seasoned, freshly fried, and juicy. The pork bento box features massive portion sizes with two pork chops, numerous tender pieces of vegetables, and more.

It’s a true hole-in-the-wall place so the atmosphere isn’t the most upscale. There’s plenty of seating, it’s clean, and there’s self-serve soup but it could use a makeover.

We had an amazing dining experience, and everybody loved their plates! The portions were pretty big, so we had plenty of leftovers. We were also served some complimentary sausage that they made in house, and it was DELICIOUS! We will go again soon!

Great food options, staff was helpful with understanding what some of the dishes were. Service was fast, and the food had large portions for a good price. Everything was delicious, whether you have picky or adventurous taste.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by the friendly owner. There is a wide range of Taiwanese dishes that ranged from street foods to restaurant dishes. There’s a self-serving section with water, sauces, utensils and complimentary soup (egg drop with tomato; it tasted similar to what my mom made at home growing up).

We ordered the stomach, oyster vermicelli noodle soup (豬肚蚵仔麵線), braised pork rice (肉粽飯), tempura with fried chicken (甜不辣鹹酥雞) and the pork chop steak. The owner also incredibly generous and served us homemade Taiwanese sausage to try out. The flavours of all the dishes we ordered were authentic and reminded me of home. Portions were generous and pricing is affordable.

Highly recommend this gem of a place. We will definitely visit again to try out other dishes!
