Taiwan Pork Chop House

"Most fans of Taiwan Pork Chop House seem to sit down for one of the two specialties of the house, offered with abundant quantities of rice and pickled mustard greens: The epic, thin-cut pork chops with a sweet glaze, or the oversized chicken leg, briny and delicious. Both are equally good." - Melissa McCart

"Though there’s plenty to choose from, most fans of Taiwan Pork Chop House seem to sit down for one of the two specialties of the house, offered with abundant quantities of rice and pickled mustard greens. It can be a difficult decision to choose: the epic, thin-cut pork chops with a sweet glaze, or the bulbous chicken leg, briny and delicious. Both are equally good. Closed Tuesdays." - Robert Sietsema

"Order from this Chinatown classic then dine out on one of the folding tables, and one might be convinced that it’s not Doyer Street but at one of the many night markets, like Ningxia, in Taipei. The staggering, non-flashy menu is a mishmash of Taiwanese, Mainland, and Japanese-nodding takeout, from a fragrant “four god” herbal soup and a garlic-y marinated tofu and kelp appetizer to a homestyle curry rice and a requisite popcorn chicken over rice.  Eating a bowl of Pork Chop House’s taro ball shaved ice in the summer is a time machine for many Taiwanese." - John Tsung, Eater Staff

"As the name suggests, Taiwan Pork Chop House serves pork chops, and while they’re enjoyable (especially for $2.50 each), our favorite things here are the fried rice cakes with shredded pork or the tender wontons drenched in spicy oil. Everything at this casual cafe is both shareable and under $10, so bring a group and order a lot (and bring cash). You should probably get two or three orders of the wontons, but we recommend ordering in stages, as all of the food comes out really quickly." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman

"If you’re looking for somewhere with lots of space, Taiwan Pork Chop House’s outdoor setup is a great option, since Doyers Street is blocked off to cars. While the titular pork pork chops here are enjoyable (especially for $2.50 each), our favorite dishes at this spot are the fried rice cakes with shredded pork and the tender wontons drenched in chili oil." - hannah albertine
