The Best Taiwanese Restaurants in NYC

"Four Four South Village, named after the Taiwan military village where the beef noodle soup was allegedly conceived, is best known for its wide menu of the iconic Taiwanese dish.  Taiwanese beef noodle soups are presented in a variety of stocks, including the popular red-braised soup, a more clear beef broth-based variety. A number of derivations use tomato paste, spicy additions, and other adjustments, too. A representative take, no matter the base, should come with tendon and tripe.  For those interested in a fuller Taiwanese experience, take advantage of the extensive lu (braised) sides menu, from unctuous pork knuckles to crunchy pig ears with a side of the spicy peanuts." - John Tsung, Eater Staff

Summary - I have been here now about three or four times and honestly, I enjoy this place downstairs toothpaste good service. I keep trying different things in interest. Something are too sweet but the beef noodle soup is great. Overall, pretty happy all the time. Food – so I’ve had many different things here beef noodle soup spicy not spicy pork chops sausage all the small side, dishes, and pleasantly impressed. Overall with everything. The soup remains my favorite. However, the spicy is too spicy the pork chop and the sausage we both both solid however they were a little sweeter than I normally would like and I can’t wish there was sticky rice. Atmosphere – it’s very cute and kind of hidden. It’s downstairs almost like basement so it’s not the staff is super attentive. Service is super fast and I just keep going back cause I feel at home. It’s very homie.

The place is quiet and clean. A few solo tables eating by themselves. It's not quite a take out place but not really dine in experience either. I didnt hear any Taiwanese speaking so Im wondering if this place is even authentic. I brought a friend to try out Taiwanese cuisine and we both were not impressed. We had eaten Taiwanese when they had a street fair a few years back. We loved the food and we were looking fwd to try this place. The gua bao is tiny and not as tasty as the ones we had at the street fair. The drinks are too sweet. Our entree orders were ok but we love the fresh noodles that it came with. The portion size is reasonable but no so pleasing for our stomach. The staff was kinda cold...barely spoke and not very welcoming. It wasnt busy at all so no reason why this experience should be disappointing.

The food was wonderful!!! It had good quality and taste, with the perfect amount of spice for the noodles. The popcorn chicken was authentic and the rice paired perfectly with it. Also love the cleanliness and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

I had lunch here a couple of times, taking out and dining in. They made me surprised with the quality of food that they delivered. It was a comfort food with a balanced taste and felt like your mom or grandma cooked for you. I tried the noodles soup, dried noodles with sauce and rice with fried porkchop. They're all good with reasonable price and perfect portion. If you like sour taste like me you should choose any noodles soup with tomatoes. The fried porkchop over rice that the staff recommended me was a hit. It was crunchy but juicy at the same time, an easy choice if you don't know what to order.

This place has quick service and no wait on weekends. Their beef noodle soup had really good chewy noodles but the soup could be better. The pork cutlet over rice was good. My favorite is the century old egg over tofu.

Solid Taiwanese beef, with quick and good service. I'd recommend the noodle dishes, as the braised beef over rice was a little plain (although the meat was fall apart tender!) Also recommended is the soybean milk, which is like a hug on a cold day. Not the most spectacular Taiwanese food I've ever had, but it certainly hit the spot and the prices are extremely reasonable for the area.

Pretty good for casual food and walk-in. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly. I think people usually order their noodle dishes. We tried the beef/tripe/tendon noodle soup, steamed dumplings, and bean sprouts. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the noodle soup but my friend finished it happily. The dumplings were good, and bean sprouts were alright. Not many veggie options.

Got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken over rice - it came out in less than five minutes and was absolutely delicious. Very comparable to the popcorn chicken you can get in Chinatown. Went two days later and for the beef and tomato noodle soup which was also a hit - the broth was amazing. Quick and inexpensive meal with generous portions, definitely solo diner friendly.

For dining in or take out, Four Four South Village is my go-to spot for solid homestyle Taiwanese food across NYC that is a great price. This is the review for their Hell's Kitchen location--they are a local chain that has a Flushing and lower east side location. This location is quite clean and quiet, and the food is fresh and comes out quickly! Every time I visit Four Four South Village, I HAVE to get the Pork Gua Bao, a delicious $6 bun with fatty pork, cilantro, pickled veggies, and dusted with a sweet peanut powder. It's the most amazing bite, a true Taiwanese staple! For a more filling meal, I recommend the Noodles with Beef and Braised Sauce (a flavorful dry noodle). Also recommend any of their appetizers, including the popcorn chicken. Highly recommend!

I've been to Four Four South Village once and ordered from there multiple times. The restaurant itself is very clean with comfortable seating. Additionally, the bathrooms themselves have Toto Japanese toilets which feels very luxurious. Service itself is quick and friendly. I've tried a few items from them but we often get the BEEF NOODLE SOUP which has great flavor, noodles are also perfectly well cooked with a nice smattering of veggies that it comes with. Their PORK CHOPS are also tasty and a great rice bowl. I have gotten their PORK BELLY a few times as well and feel the other items are a bit stronger, as it is a bit too salty and the pork belly could be cooked down a bit more. All in all, a great option for Taiwanese food in the area.

After reading great reviews, and as a Taiwanese popcorn chicken lover, I had to give it a try. The order was prepared quickly. - The popcorn chicken was good, but nothing particularly special. - The pork chop was incredibly tender, even after cooling down. - The sauce on the dan dan noodles was a bit too salty, so we tried to push it aside to eat the noodles. Surprisingly, our favorite dish ended up being the pork chop over rice & we were initially unsure about ordering. Might try other dishes next time.

A very solid Taiwanese-style noodle spot! I stopped by for lunch, and ordered the spicy beef noodle soup. While it is not as spicy as I would like, the broth was tasty, and the beef was tender. The noodles also were springy. It definitely hit the spot, and served to satisfy a craving for Chinese-style noodles. Definitely would recommend as a casual meal alone or with friends!

First time here loved it!! the Calamari was delicious. It's salty and crunchy with a sweet/sour dipping sauce. The sausage was perfect. Just right amount of sweetness. The entrees were all flavorful and rich!

I've gone to the Flushing location countless times and only recently learnt there was also a branch here! (Never went to the East Village one although I heard that one closed recently.) This location is a bit smaller, understandably, but the decor is as detailed as always, right up to the distinctive 北一女 green colour haha. Anyways, I got the standard beef noodle soup here and it was delicious, as expected. The broth was rich, savoury, and very authentic, the noodles were nice and chewy, and the meat was flavourful and so soft / easy to chew. Only gripe was that they only offered water, no hot tea (unlike the Flushing branch!). The location's a bit out of the way for me, so I am not sure if I'll be back to *this* branch specifically, but I expect many, many more bowls of beef noodle soup at their other place in Flushing to come.

Nice Taiwanese restaurant right next door to Deaxon Brodie's saloon. Well heated, decent service and good food. Comfortable seating, clean bathrooms. Reasonably priced. Starts getting crowded around 7pm.

This is probably one of my favorite casual Taiwanese restaurants in Manhattan, reasonable prices for the city and large portions. It's a casual establishment, yet it's well kept and feels modern inside. It's a relatively small space, so service is quick. My favorite dish to order here is the Tomato Beef Noodle soup + tendon & tripe. The broth is so beefy yet tangy from the tomato, and the beef cubes and tendon are sooo tender and packed with flavor. It's $16.95 a bowl of you opt in for the tendon + tripe. Well worth the extra $ imo!

I discovered this hole in the wall on restaurant row last week. I was seeking out a restaurant that makes good Taiwanese fried chicken and this place turned up. I had never had Taiwanese fried chicken before but I was having a craving for something outside of my usual Korean or Japanese chicken go-tos. I ordered a popcorn chicken rice bowl from here . The meal comes with a generous portion of fried chicken, rice and bok choy and a boiled egg. As far as the chicken goes, I thought it was tasty. It had a slight cinnamon taste that I wasn't expecting, but I liked it. Compared to Korean and Japanese fried chicken, this was drier. It doesnt come in a sauce. The flour coating is light and you can tell it's thoroughly spiced. I think I prefer other Asian fried chicken over this kind, since it usually has more of a crunch and it's less dry but I still enjoyed my meal. I thought the portion was great for the price. They followed my instructions and packed my rice separate from the chicken. The bok choy was good too and came with something that tasted like a garlic mince. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd definitely return.

Really liked the tomato broth soup! Really hit the spot. The spicy was good but the tomato one was on point. The apps were bad but I liked the mains more.

Stopped by for dinner around 6pm which was right before their dinner rush. The entire time I was there, they were quite busy with in person diners and filling online orders so there was not much service besides getting the menu, my food and the check. I ordered the beef noodle soup with a braised egg. The egg had a nice savory flavor and the beef chunks were seasoned and tender (about 6 pieces). It seemed like an endless bowl of noodles and I left feeling very full. The soup was quite light in taste. This is a solid spot to get a filling meal in Hell's Kitchen. Their bathroom was clean and had a bidet which was pretty unexpected.

Welcoming space with bright green accents and black and white abstract images. The braised beef noodle soup was the best bite. The cucumbers are sweet and crunchy. The service is quick and the staff leaves a pitcher in the table so you can refill your cups. They allow you to stay and chat after your meal making for a comfortable space with slower paced service.

I love a good Taiwanese restaurant. This place is a bit hidden near Time Square which is great because everything is affordable, delicious, and you will never have to wait an extremely long time for your food. The prices are truly crazy for a nice sit-down restaurant in the area. - Taiwanese Fried Porkchop Over Rice - The amount of pork they give in this dish is actually insane. It's like almost 3x that of a usual dish, although I will say I wish that there was a little bit more black pepper on this dish. I really appreciate also how many different ingredients they have in it from pickled vegetables to bok choy to braised egg. You will definitely feel incredibly full from this dish. - Braised Beef Noodle Soup - This is definitely what you should come here for. Overall, not a bad place to go at all to for your Taiwanese food cravings. It's a favorite in my family for a good reason!

This is one of my favorite comfort food restaurants. I've only gotten take out from here, and it's always reliably fast. I love their popcorn chicken over rice. It's not too oily, and perfectly crispy. I also like their pork chop over rice. The amount of food is generous and I like to split it over two meals.

I stopped by for a quick dinner on a Saturday evening, and my group of 5 was seated immediately. The restaurant wasn't very busy and was casual and almost cafeteria like. We started with the popcorn chicken to share, which was super crispy and seasoned very well. We asked the server for some sweet sauce I got the vegetable tomato noodles, which was good. I had mine with some vinegar and chili oil, which really added flavor.

While the restaurant itself leans casual on the ambiance spectrum and the fluorescents could go warmer by a shade or two, there is no denying that this place can host a merry gathering. I went here with 5 others on a Friday night without requiring a reservation. We all ordered a beef noodle soup of some variation, save for the vegetarian. The beef tendon and beef perfectly melted into my gullet. The texture of noodle was satisfying springy. My only critique is that the chili oil could have upped the flavor and heat. A pleasant beef aroma rang through but it was missing the kick that the chili was destined for. You also can't go wrong with the Taiwanese popcorn chicken which somehow allows plenty of flavor to penetrate through its crunch exterior. The bowl is probably large enough to share between 2 people that are 5'9 and below to be safe. The staff were super nice despite some TMI conversation I overheard from some other patrons, and I'm very much looking forward to trying the EV location.

Came with a group of friends after a broadway show late on a weeknight and got seated right away. The food came out quick, but taste fell short of expectations. The popcorn chicken was not too crispy and the sausage was not a great texture. The bubble tea was good though - not too sweet!

Had this spot bookmarked for a long time, finally got around to coming as I was in the area for a Broadway show. Came around 6PM on a Friday night, pretty empty. Very clean, modern. Got the spicy dried beef noodle, wanted half beef, half tripe, was told I'd be charged $2 more (I shouldn't have said "half" in that case, I wonder if they would've given me the full amount, not sure). Didn't really think it was worth the charge if the amount of meat I get is the same, but alright. Noodles were super chewy, flavor of the sauce was great. Meat was okay, tripe was slightly overcooked but mostly good! Tried a bite of the classic beef noodle soup as well, tinted towards a tomato flavor which wasn't bad! A bit oily with fat bits floating in it though. Pretty pricey for a plate of noodles, definitely paying Midtown West / Broadway prices, was about $16 post-tax pre-tip. While these noodles were great, I'd rather go to Chinatown for the same quality noodles but better priced!

Came in on a Tuesday around 6 by myself to eat inside. A couple of tables occupied but mostly a bustling takeout business going on at that point. I ordered the pickled cucumbers as an app and the Dan Dan noodles for my main with extra noodles. The cucumbers were just ok in my opinion but the noodles.... outstanding. I believe it came with ground pork, was fairly spicy and had a nice depth of flavor. Service was appropriate and ambiance was pretty bare. Would recommend this spot of you're looking for tasty noodles.

Have come here multiple times, both ear in and take out are good. I really like the Dan Dan noodles, but be careful they do have a kick. They're a go to order. The beef noodles are good but could use a broth or a little more flavor which is why I like the Dan Dan noodles so much. They are also very quick, only about 15-20 minutes to prepare an order. I've rarely had to wait long.

I'm always on the lookout for good taiwanese food in the city, and I think Four Four is the best I've found in Manhattan! They have all the essential taiwanese comfort foods (beef noodle soup, beef rolls, popcorn chicken, braised pork over rice) and since it's in that weird space between being a fast food and a nice sit down restaurant, there's always seating every time I come. I personally like the Midtown West location more than the East village location, but both do the job! My go to's here are the beef noodle soup and the braised pork over rice. The noodles are a super chewy texture and they're very generous with the meat portion sizes. My only complaint here is that the braised pork over rice isn't the traditional ground pork variant which I have a special place in my heart for, but they do give large heapings of pork belly (which some people may actually like more). I also recently discovered their herbal chicken soup, which I love getting with vermicelli - it's the perfect replacement I've found for pho in the bay area for a meal after a late night. This is easily my most visited restaurant in New York, would highly recommend. Prices are also super affordable.

I love their #133 (spicy beef, tendon, tripe noodles soup) so much! It really is so delicious. The soup is a bit spicy but well seasoned & flavorful. Noodles are always al dente & not soggy. The beef meat, tendon & tripe are always tender & well seasoned. Highly recommend this item! I also have tried their Taiwanese sausage & it was good. Their taiwanese fried porkchop rice was ok. The only issue I had w/ that item is that the pork chop was not that crunchy and soft. Staff was attentive and food came out fast. Tons of indoor seating.

SO DELICIOUS!!! Some of the best Taiwanese food I've had in America! Who would've thought, in the middle of Hell's Kitchen in NYC. The prices were affordable, and the service was quick, especially since we were in a rush. The decor is modern. The popcorn chicken rice bowl was so crispy, flavorful and juicy! The pork chop with noodle was amazing... the soup broth was so clear and tasty with light flavors! The drinks were perfect. Loved the mango slushy and the soy milk looked good.

Four Four South Village has multiple locations. I went to the 368 West 46th Street, New York, NY 10036 location. The restaurant is very spacious. My two friends and I went on a Friday evening about 5:00pm and we were the only ones in the restaurant. It was raining outside and warm noodles are perfect for this weather. My friends and I ordered 111-Braised beef noodle soup, 112-braised beef & tendon noodle soup, and 113-braised beef, tendon, tripe noodles soup. I had the 113-braised beef, tendon, tripe noodles soup and enjoyed it a lot. The beef, tendon, and tripe was very tender and plenty in the bowl. The broth was very flavorful. The ratio of noodles to toppings was great, sometimes there can be too much of one thing. The meal was very filling. When the server bought the bowls to our table, it was very fragrant. Service was good and I would come back for their noodles. The portion was worth the price.

I was craving Taiwanese food and I ended up finding this place through gmaps! You can look up their website to see their menu online on mealkeyway. We were seated immediately around 1:30 on a weekday, and there was classic Chinese pop music playing in the background. -Tomato Beef Noodle Soup: 4/5 The addition of tomato enhances the richness of the broth and flavors the ingredients nicely. The noodles were tender and a delight to chew on. Though I ordered just the beef, there were still some fatty(?) parts attached to them, so bear that in mind if you're deciding what to order. Next time, if I'm looking for a bigger protein bang for my buck, I'd probably go for the Fried Porkchop over rice!

Authentic Taiwanese restaurant offering a large variety of home-style dishes in a clean setting. I tried a bunch of their dishes and they were all delicious. Noodles with beef and braised sauce ($12) - noodles were cooked the perfect amount to be just a bit chewy, beef was nice and tender, sauce was good too, portion size was pretty large Gua bao with beef ($6) - this had the same tasty beef as the noodles, bun could have been a bit softer though, nice presentation with the peanut crumbles on top Taiwanese popcorn chicken ($11) - a Taiwanese classic and it did not disappoint; nicely fried/crispy on the outside and tender on the inside Seasonal greens ($9) - this was bok choy and was cooked well, sauce was a tiny bit too salty but not bad Signature braised tofu ($8) - pretty good firm tofu, not too salty; it was nice that they cut this into bite sized pieces The place itself is very clean with simple modern decor such as the artwork along the walls. Also I liked the plates/bowls that they used as they were simple in design but also nicely colored with subtle designs. My main point for improvement was that it was super quiet inside, even with the open kitchen close by. They did play some light Taiwanese music toward the end of our meal, but the atmosphere could be further improved by turning up the volume a bit just to create a slightly more lively environment. There were only a few others dining on a Saturday night, with several empty tables. The staff are average friendliness. The service speed is very fast. Overall, I had a very satisfying meal at Four Four. I would highly recommend this place if you are a fan of authentic Taiwanese cuisine!

I was craving Taiwanese food and decided to order lunch from here. I got the Taiwanese popcorn chicken over rice and it was delicious. It reminded of what I had at the night markets in Taiwan. For $13, the portion size was huge. I was barely able to finish the whole thing. I will definitely be returning to try the other items on their menu. Beef noodle soup and pork chop over are next on my list.

I came here the other day to get some take out and I picked up the beef noodles in a spicy 204. Noodles with Beef & Spicy Sauce and the Dan Dan noodles. I stopped by the restaurant to pick up the food and it was very clean yet casual. The service was also great - I got my food pretty quickly. And the noodles themselves were delicious they had the perfect amount of sauce and flavor and the servings were a good size!

I was highly recommended here to eat their spicy beef tripe noodles & WOW it was sooooo delicious! The soup was delicious and a bit spicy (exciting though). The noodles were al dente and has a good bounce to it. The beef & tripe was so tender and savory! This spicy beef tripe noodle was amazing & I would order this again next time. We also tried the taiwanese fried porkchop rice. It was good but not as amazing as the noodle we ate. The porkchop was not crunchy, but soft. The rice with the egg and vegs was good. The mango lemon slush drink was not that good. The mango part tasted a bit like those artificial mango flavoring in some bubble tea shops. Staff was attentive and the food came out fast. Will come back to eat the noodle again and try their other foods. But taste wise pretty close to taiwan's food.

The beef noodle soup isn't bad, but I feel like there are probably better places in NYC. There was not a lot of veggies in the order. However, the soup was great and beef was tender.

This place hit the spot! When it's chilly outside in NYC and you want something spicy and warm for the soul- this is the spot. It's a cute little Taiwanese restaurant with authentic flavors that gave my tastebuds a yummy awakening! I didn't care much for the customer service, our waitress was not the friendliest. We ordered the spicy beef, tendon and tripe noodles, Szechuan Dan Dan noodles, Popcorn Chicken noodle soup, braised beef noodles and spicy pig ears. Also, highly recommend the Hot Soybean Milk. It was so delicious!! I'd go back!

I ordered from door dash and picked it up. It was ready in 15 minutes, all packed and ready to go. The cucumbers were tasty, the spicy beef noodle soup could've been a bit more flavorful, it has a good kick to it. I like how their to go Tupperware is nested so the noodles and soup were separated. I originally ordered for the popcorn chicken which was good but I was sad it didn't have the fried basil or any greens in it. Overall 7/10

I recently realized this is the same restaurant I once went to in Flushing, but I think I actually enjoyed the Manhattan location more! The dishes I ordered were genuinely so delicious and I would get both and recommend both again and again. I ordered the noodles with beef and braised sauce as well as the pork and chive fried dumplings. The noodles had a great chewy texture, with the sauce being slightly sweet that made it delicious. There was also this topping on the noodles that added flavor to them that made the dish come together. The dumplings were the last thing to come out among our table (and there were four of us), which makes me think that they make these dumplings FRESH. They had a great crunch to them and came out so hot. What made the dumplings shine though was this SAUCE it came with. I don't know what they put in the sauce, but it's sweet and savory deliciousness. I wish I knew what they put in here because I'm obsessed with it and dunked my dumpling in there. I will say the service is off -- you have to ask for everything. They won't come around to check on you or your water cups or anything; you'll have to flag them over. It's not the end of the world, but their water cups are pretty small, so it's easy to run out of water quickly and then you have to wait a bit. Not the end of the world, though, and for me that dumpling sauce made everything worth it.

I'm honestly super glad to be able to get Taiwanese food in my neck of the woods. I've ordered delivery many times. Some things I've tried: Braised beef & tendon noodle soup - 4/5 solid Taiwanese braised pork over rice - 3/5 a bit dry, should be more tender with more sauce Braised pork knuckle rice - 3/5 this dish needs to be in sauce which was nowhere to be found Taiwanese popcorn chicken over rice - 3.5/5 Taiwanese Fried Pork Chop over rice - 4/5 Pork gua bao - 4/5 tasty, but tiny and doesn't justify the price point Assorted cold dish - 3.5/5 pretty solid Grass jelly with red bean & tapioca 3/5 just too sweet Overall, the food is good. Delivery is always super quick. The fried dishes would have a higher rating if they would just do one minor thing of poking a small hole in the container lids!!! Then the fried pork chop/chicken will have some ventilation and not be steaming in the container and turn the batter into a gummy, unpleasant texture. I hope management sees this!

This is an unexpected hidden gem in Hell's kitchen - affordable prices, huge portions, delicious food, quick service, and no wait on a Sunday afternoon. Our food came out about 5-10 minutes after we ordered it, which was pretty shocking for me. + Gua bao (pork) - 10/10 - Avoid this if you don't like fatty food, but it was a delight for me. Incredibly tender, the meat melts in your mouth and is so flavorful with the perfect complement of crushed nuts and cilantro. I would absolutely get it again. + Taiwanese pork chop over rice - 9/10 - Loved the fried pork chop - perfectly crispy and most of the meat was tender, though a few pieces were on the drier side. I would've wanted more sauce for the rice but would get this again (maybe I can ask?). Really liked the veggies on the side. + Popcorn chicken with noodle soup - 10/10 - Excellent popcorn chicken - crispy, juicy, tender, and flavorful. Zero complaints. I was surprised by the pairing of this with the chicken noodle soup because they seem like very different meals, but I really liked it; I don't think there was any chicken, but the chicken broth was lovely and I ended up taking leftovers of this noodle soup for lunch the next day. Would absolutely get again. + Plum juice - 3/10 - This low rating is totally personal preference - it's not too sweet, which would be good for me usually. I just really did not like the flavor; it's very familiar (kind of like those pink flake candy things?) but absolutely not something I want to be drinking. It's quite cheap compared to the other drinks and it's apparently homemade, so definitely get it if you're into this flavor. Just not for me.

Convenient HK Taiwanese restaurant that goes a bit too heavy on oil. Dishes here are certainly filling with a balance of flavors. Even for Taiwanese comfort food, I found some of the pork belly dishes too fatty and too oily to eat in their entirety.

Loved - Taiwanese popcorn chicken over rice - Szechuan Dan Dan noodles - Gua Bao/Pork - Taiwanese sausage Relaxed atmosphere Would have been nice to have a bottle of water dedicated to each table instead of waiting for refills of the cups

Glad to have a Taiwanese spot so close to the Broadway/Times Square area. While it's not my #1 choice for Taiwanese food in Manhattan (that'd be 886), it's a reliable and affordable haven in a neighborhood filled with overpriced and underwhelming options. I've been here a couple of times and here's what I've tried so far: Tomato beef noodle soup with tripe - Not a fan of tendon, so I requested this without it. The broth was hearty and comforting, the noodles were decently al dente, and the beef and tripe were quite tender as well. Gua bao with pork - I'm usually just meh about pork belly, but theirs was delightfully melt-in-your-mouth soft and went well with the sweet crushed peanuts. This was a great snack. Braised pork rice - Same great pork belly, but the pieces were all very fatty, so after a few bites bouncing between this and the gua bao, the pork became too heavy for me. The sauce on the rice had a slight herbal flavor that wasn't bad, just surprising, and I loved the mustard greens. Popcorn chicken - Nice and crunchy, and comparatively light rather than oily. I enjoyed washing everything down with a refreshing cup of soy milk, but you can also ask for tea (it's free and they're good about refilling it).

This places serves authentic Taiwanese food. Price & portion-wise, it's great given the location. Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken with Rice ($13) - It's just ok. It can def use a little more flavor as it's just mostly salty. I'm a bit disappointed since it's the recommended item. Beef Roll ($9) - This is delicious. It wasn't even recommended by my server. But it's unique, tasty & worth trying!

Unfortunately i did not have the best experience delivering food from this place. Taiwanese fried pork chop over rice - $13.95 (3/5) The pork chops were quite dry and there was not much flavor. I was hoping that there will be at least sauce to eat with the rice but it was there was no sauce. The portion of the vegetables were decent thoug I'm giving it 4 stars despite my experience because I do believe the food will be much better in person (maybe the meat dried out during delivery?). I might go back to eat in person

Nice quick place to stop for Taiwanese food in Hell's Kitchen. There's a handful of small tables in the front and some in the back as well. We tried the spicy noodle soup, with beef tendon and tripe, and the pork chop noodle soup. The beef soup was flavorful and had a nice assortment of meats. The pork chop was crispy and served on the side of the noodle soup. Service was quick. Overall a nice place to stop by for some warm soup on a cold day.

I was really craving some taiwanese food the other day, so my significant other decided to take me to this cute little place for a dinner date. I was so happy to have my craving satisfied! The employees here seem like they get along really well with each other too, which was really nice. It was great to relax and enjoy a meal in a place that felt so warm and friendly. Along with soy milk we tried their assorted luwei, taiwanese popcorn chicken, spicy beef noodles soup, and braised beef noodles soup. We really enjoyed everything! The braised kelp knots in the assorted luwei stood out to me because they tasted like the ones my mom used to make. My favorite was still the spicy beef noodles soup though - it was perfectly flavored and I could actually taste the spice. I would recommend coming here for a delicious lunch or dinner!

The food was a huge disappointment. The beef noodle soup was bland and watery, luwei tasted old, braised pork has a strong/strange wine taste to it, pork chop tasted vinegary, Definitely would not recommend, hopefully we don't get sick.
