Taiwanese restaurant · Flushing

"One of the best traditional Taiwanese restaurants in town is found just north of the LIE on Main Street in what constitutes almost a mini-Chinatown. The place calls itself Main Street Imperial Taiwanese Gourmet and has been in this spot since 2000, about the time northern Chinese and Fujianese became more prevalent in downtown Flushing and Taiwanese restaurants moved to other neighborhoods. All the classics are found here, including stinky tofu, three-cup chicken, oyster omelet, and meatball mochi, also known as ba-wan or “Taiwanese meatball” — meat tidbits embedded in gooey sweet potato starch." - Caroline Shin, Robert Sietsema
