I wish to just give 0 star if this review system allows me to do so. NOTE: this is no longer the original little Taipei as the store owner is changed. There is no customer service at all! I just ordered food online but when I arrived, I was told that one of the dishes is still not ready because there are so many orders! Moreover, I was told to just wait for 10 minutes, but 20 minutes later I was told that the dish is still not ready - the owner just lies to me!

Used to come to this place quite often prior to Covid. Same location but is takeout only now and a single person operation. Ordered at 12:45 with an estimated pickup at 1:10. I received the order ready for pickup notice on the APP at 1:15 and waited at the door (entrance was blocked by a table for pick up only) for over 5 minutes before someone acknowledged I was still waiting there. I was told to ignore the notification in the order App since it wasn't accurate and that my order wasn't ready yet. Finally left with the order at 1:40, 55 minutes after I placed the order. I'd understand the delay if there were multiple orders ahead of me, but I was the only person waiting there for over 30 minutes and no one else came by. Quantity and quality of the food falls short as well. The xiao long bao looked and tasted like the frozen xlb from Costco. Popcorn chicken order for $9.99 came in 10 tiny pieces of breading wrapped in tin foil. The five spice marinated beef wrap tasted ok but came in 4 tiny pieces for $8. I won't be coming back.

Disappointed as expected… I wouldn’t say it’s a Taiwan cuisine place though.The wait time and the taste of the weekend only breakfast were awful. The soy milk tasted watery and weird; green onion pancake wasn’t crispy at all; the Taiwanese rice sticker 台式飯糰 (translates on the menu) contains peanut sugar that was not be mentioned on the menu at all. (Just be careful if you’re allergic)Overall, it’s not a place that I’d ever want to come again.

Used to come here 10 years ago. Sad to see this place now look so depressed. Have an old table blocking the front door. No dine-in. One-person operation. Service was friendly, but not timely.蔥油餅 was very disappointing. Texture was hard, no layering, very little green onions, and flavorless.控肉飯 was even more disappointing. Very lack of flavors, very plain, and uninteresting - even when we were hungry. It had only the pork, a 滷蛋, and rice. It’d be nicer if it comes with a bit pickled veggie (酸菜) and/or stir fried veggies.I agree with another review: there are many other better choices in the area not far away.Too bad that they carry the name of “Little Taipei 小台北). This one is far from the standards of a poor eatery in Taipei and/or Taiwan.

This restaurant and the cook are real treasures! The beef noodle soup is rejuvenating! The pork and chive dumplings are delicious. The ma po tofu and the leek/bean curd/pork dish are so very good, too. I look forward to coming back. My son loves the wonton soup. I'm so glad to have tried this wonderful food!

I truly cannot understate just how fantastic this restaurant is.An adorable little spot nestled in a strip mall, too small for more then one table and doesn't even seat people. I can't recommend it highly enough for takeout, or just getting a dumpling or 3 on your way to or from something. Pretty fast food, very good service for the limited English.I recommend the beef noodle soup. it's just really good.

The food was delicious and fast! I can't believe how satisfying this food was. This food was some of the most authentic food I have eaten in the States. I ordered 2 original soy milk, 2 sweet soy milk, 4 Taiwan Style Doughnuts, crispy leek pancake, and taiwan style rice sticker. These all tasted good.

Super tasty & reasonably priced favorites I love getting when I miss Taipei. Really good pig ear and braised pork on rice. Highly recommend!If you don’t know what to get- try the braised pork on rice! On weekends, get a Taiwanese doughnut & soy milk combo!
IS 2022 but they are still only doing TAKE OUT ONLY. Waited for a while since no one is at the front after I open the door and stand there in front of a table. Finally after I make some noise and one came out to help.Order the green onion pancake and Beef Noodle Soup. TO GO ONLY. It took a LONG WHILE to get it done at 2pm. She apologize for the long wait.Green Onion Pancake was great. But the noodle soup was not. They use Italian Spaghettis noodle which was too thick. Also the soup flavor was ok and so are the beef.Probably will not be back since is not very AUTHENTIC TAIWANESE 牛肉面.....

Don’t buy the Xiaolongbao there. They just bought from supermarket and cook for you?

This is a great authentic Taiwanese food place. They are mainly Togo order. The only drawback is the nice lady that answers the phone is nonverbal in English. Therefore, ordering over the phone is a challenge. If You are near the area you may want to go to the location and they have the menu printed and you can just point on what you like. Perhaps all phone takeouts are handled by food apps. But then the phone number listed on yelp is their landline. Other than that, the food is delicious.

Solid food, great price! Dumplings are hand made so expect a little wait but it’s worth it.
