One of my go-to spots for authentic Taiwanese food. My favorites include the 'House Stuffed Pork Roll' (雞捲)—crispy, meaty, and downright tasty. The 'Braised Pork Rice' (鹵肉飯) is a guilty pleasure—super collagen-rich, unapologetically fatty, and oh-so-satisfying. Their 'Oyster Omelet' (蚵仔煎) stands out too—no deep-fried mini omelets here, just a hearty, bouncy egg packed with decent-sized oysters. And the 'Small Squid Stuffed with Dried Fish' (乾片小卷)? Absolutely heavenly.
That said, not everything hit the mark. The 'Sauteed Taiwanese Lettuce' (炒A菜) lacked the 'wok hei' we Cantonese love—it felt more steamed than sautéed. The poached chicken (白斬雞) was so undercooked we left the dark meat untouched. I get that some older Chinese diners love the tender texture of barely cooked chicken, but for me, it’s just too risky to eat undercooked poultry.
Dessert was a highlight—ice, red bean, and jelly made for the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Service is always friendly and warm, but the air conditioning was cranked up way too high on a rainy early fall evening. Also, the cash-only policy feels outdated for a restaurant of this scale. I get it for quick eateries or roadside spots, but here? It’s a bit inconvenient in this day and age.
