My Stove at Songjiang Nanjing Station

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 Also, the cash-only policy feels outdated for a restaurant of this scale.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.

Our friends recommended this place and we made a booking for dinner. The lu ro fan was one of the best we’ve had ! The special winter soup was nourishing and tasty . Every dish was satisfying and well flavoured . Highlights were the squid with rice noodles and clay pot pork. Highly recommended

Local Taiwanese street foods and familiar comfort foods will never be the same again after you dine here. Even a simple night market item like a Taiwanese sausage can be elevated. It was mind blowing, and yet not out of this world different that it felt confusing. Definitely one way to have the best of local familiar favourites all in one place. They didn’t get their Michelin stars for nothing, that’s for sure. Highly recommended!

We came here on a Sunday for lunch and managed to get a table for 2 people. The menu offers a good selection of local dishes, alongside some recommendations. We had the thousand year egg, which was very rich and the right amount of spice, the sesame chicken, which was good but wish I knew it was cold and the mapo tofu which we really.enjoyed as it was less heavy than others we've had. The staff was polite and attentive. Overall, a good meal if you're in the area.

It has a low rating score but the food is top notch. Better than many highly ranked restaurants. Stand out dishes were the double thread ( sliced liver and kidney) with scallions, the braised pork rice( redefines pork umami), century egg in hot sauce ( my wife preferred it with sweet ginger), sauteed beans with deep fried intestines ( mouth feels was so good). Local draft beer paired well with the food. Only disappointment was the 3 cup chicken which though well caramelised lacked flavour( perhaps we were too full). Service was friendly and very personable. You can bring your own alcohol for a small charge. Caveat. This place only takes cash. Prices are highish for a sidewalk restaurant but taken into context, it's cheap for a Michelin quality meal.

The food was good. Liver was perfectly cooked. Must eat hot. The stew pork rice was super good. Definitely a place I will go again.

A good choice when you are looking for authentically flavored Taiwanese cuisines. We started off with some side dishes, followed by impressive braised pork, braised beef tripe, steamed squid, stir fried pork liver, fried complex platter, and our favorite- boiled chicken. The texture and taste of the Boiled Chicken are amazing. Price is a bit on the high end though.

My Stove has been around for a long time but they have maintained their excellence. Every dish was great with the exception of the veggies which I found just average. My favorite dishes were the chicken, pork knuckle, shrimp. The spicy century eggs were the best I've ever had and when mixed in with a mouthful of the braised pork rice, is pure, creamy delight. The food is rich and flavourful. I wish there was something light and refreshing on the menu to reset the pallette, even a dish of pickled daikon radish would've been helpful. Amazing dinner and very affordable for this level of food.
