Honestly still dreaming about that popcorn chicken...how do they get it SO crunchy, yet tender & juicy & so insanely flavorful? I'd buy that seasoning and put it on literally everything. The Scallion Beef Pancake Wrap & Dry Beef Noodles were also incredible. Each dish had a unique flavor, while complementing one another and bringing the Taiwanese culture to life, in a fun, night markety restaurant.
When I'm craving Taiwanese food in NYC, 886 is always on the list. It's not about hypey IG dishes--it's about comfort and homegrown flavors. Food: 5/5 On this visit, I was thrilled to see bitter melon stir-fry as a seasonal special. To me, that's peak Taiwanese--it's simple, authentic, and exactly what I want. The sesame noodles were another highlight: straightforward, hearty, and perfectly satisfying without trying too hard. I also loved their winter melon tea, which hit all the nostalgic notes for me, while my husband stuck with water but was just as content. Our highest damage is usually around 80(after tip). Vibes: 4/5 886 feels like a Taiwanese diner at heart. It's not fancy, and that's the charm--you sit on simple chairs, the space is buzzing, and you're there to eat and enjoy. It's casual, cozy, and very much a place for people who want real Taiwanese flavors, not just the trendy stuff. Service: 4/5 Friendly and efficient. Things move quickly here, which matches the diner vibe. If you're looking for authentic Taiwanese food in NYC without the pretension, 886 is the spot. Whether it's seasonal stir-fries, classic noodles, or a refreshing tea, it always delivers the flavors I crave.
Solid Taiwanese food, although not quite as good as I remembered. The food was a bit bland, but overall flavor was still good. The fried rice and pea shoots were my favorite, and the beef scallion pancake was good as well. The noodles in the beef noodle soup were very good, but again I did think the broth was a bit bland. We were served quickly and no wait at Saturday ~12:30.
Food: popcorn chicken and TFC were my faves. They both had that perfect combination of crispy, flavorful, and yet tender chicken inside. Noodles in the beef noodle soup were also good. Fried rice was a bit bland for my taste. Popcorn chicken sauce and the TFCs furikake fries were amazing. Service: ok. They seemed to have forgotten our drinks, but food came out extremely fast (I guess the perk of a limited menu), and they were attentive. Ambiance: it was loud with a lot of young folks drinking a lot in a small space. I wasn't a huge fan of the cheap plastic stools they had us sit on. There was also only one bathroom, although it was clean.
This is a go-to dinner or late night grub spot for us and it's been so consistent in taste, service, and vibes since they opened years ago! We always get the lo ba beng which hits the spot with the savory pork belly on rice with a soft boiled egg and pickled greens. We also got the tomato egg (comfort food iykyk) and the black pepper beef which was bombbbb. Service was attentive and they even got us water for our pup which was very nice of them!
This place was not bad, but a bit underwhelming. We came with a group of 7 and had a reservation. The space was pretty small and the seating was on stools which wasn't the most comfortable, but we managed. We got a bunch of items to share. Their dishes are more Taiwanese fusion style, so don't expect anything really authentic. We got the popcorn chicken, cabbage salad, beef pancake roll, beef noodle soup, lo ba beng, and bean curd pea shoot stir fry. I couldn't eat the lu rou fan since it had peanuts, and most of our group didn't really like that one. The rest was decent though, and I did enjoy the veggie dishes and beef pancake roll a lot. Overall, I wouldn't say this is a good spot to catch up since it is quite loud and seating isn't very comfy. If you need a spot that is a little different near St Mark's though it may be worth a try.
Loved the vibe here! Very busy on a Friday night but luckily there was no wait for a party of 3. Service was friendly but very slow. 3.7/5 Whiskey Winter Melon - very whiskey forward, wish the Oolong tea flavor came out a bit more. 4/5 Popcorn Chicken -- crisp, well seasoned, loved the dipping sauce! Wish the pieces were a bit smaller for a more ideal coating ratio. 3.7/5 Crispy Silken Tofu -- super crisp and crusty bits of tofu, sauce leaned a bit too citrusy for me, wish the radish served with it was pickled. Also a small shout out to the DJ for the night -- music taste was great, from kpop to chinese OSTs to radio hits! Eric Sze was also sat at the table next to mine, and it was really nice to see a restaurant owner enjoying the food and ambiance of his own place!
Pretty solid Taiwanese restaurant located on St Mark's. We made a reservation for a Wednesday dinner and when we arrived it was quite busy inside. I loved the plastic stools as it reminded me of the vibes from the night markets in Taiwan. It's a low frill that was causal, decorated with many neon lights, and cozy perfect for catching up with friends. I would say that the Lo Ba Beng was probably the most authentic meal I had all night and they definitely did a great job. The Honey Glazed Popcorn Chicken was an interesting twist but I think I still prefer the traditional way of using spices to give its flavor. I thought the pieces were also a bit too large. The Silken Tofu had a really nice sauce. I also got the sourdough scallion pancake but was not a fan of the texture and couldn't really taste the scallions. The service was efficient but my group ordered multiple cocktails in carafe but kept getting them in regular glasses even though we asked our waiter. But overall with a limited Taiwanese food scene in the area, 886 does a fair job of providing dishes with a modern twist.
My friend and I came by here for dinner in the area and were able to get seated right away without reservations. This spot is a young and fun vibe mixed with some modern Taiwanese specialties. First of all, the Bad Idea Challenge ($27) immediately grabbed our attention. The goblet consists of sake, red wine, soju, and coke, which tasted quite similar to a sangria. For the challenge, two people have 6 seconds to finish the entire thing for 2 free sake bombs. We couldn't help but take on the challenge. Even though we didn't finish it on time, the drink was still tasty but light on the alcohol. As for the food, we ordered the Lo Ba Beng ($15), Peashoots with Tofuskin ($18), and Scallion Pancake Beef Wrap ($16). The lo ba beng is delicious from the savory braised minced pork over rice with a perfectly soft-boiled egg and mustard greens. The peashoots were simple, but refreshing when you want some greens. While the first two dishes were smaller, the beef wraps came with 7 good-sized pieces stuffed with beef and veggies. Great spot to get some dinner and drinks to start off a night out. Definitely more of a younger crowd here. Oh, and yes --it does come with fire like the photo!
As a Taiwanese American who goes back to Taiwan every few years, the food here is pretty good. The beef noodle soup is similar to what I've had in Taiwan. The popcorn chicken is also not bad, the honey sauce makes it a bit on the sweeter end, but still good. Service was pretty fast. Inside, it's a more modern vibe with some neon lights and whatnot.

Glad I finally got to try 886! There is some seating inside and outside. One restroom in the back. The chairs a lil comfortable bc they're stools. Workers are all super nice. They do get busy and there might be a wait! Dishes here are meant to be family style. But it is hard to share with small tables. Not meant for big groups imo , not too big of space inside. Got the lychee soju and guava soju and tbh I'd pass on it. It was just okay, tasted more like juice tbh. Scallion pancake beef wrap- it was just okay tbh. The pancake is on the thicker side and nothing special and wasn't a fan of the slaw inside. I wish I got the plain scallion pancake. Taiwanese sausage fried rice was sooo good! So flavorful and a good amount of sausage! Wish the sausage was cut up into smaller pieces so you get a bite with every bite. A little on the pricier side for the amount given. But it was my fave dish! The notorious TFC was so good! It's humongous, enough to share with 2-4 people. Super juicy and the flavorful. I definitely will be coming back again! read more

My ex boyfriend and I went here to have a catch up meal and it was a good choice. Although, would have been nicer for him to have paid for the entire meal as it did go on to be on the pricier side. I would say the cold sesame noodles are a must try. Overall I would come back to here. The service was quick, the seating is plastic stools and the ambiance of the place is nice. Food was delicious the scallion pancakes were not a miss for me but a miss for my ex. He did really like the oyster pancake. read more
I finally got to try this place after forever. For a group of 2, we were able to get seated within 10 mins. The chairs and tables reminds of me Chinese "da pai dong" or Hawkers; Metal table with plastic chairs with no backing. The service was attentive and the food came out fast. We got the Honey Popcorn chicken, Peashoot with tofu skin, Lo Ba Beng and Seaweed fries. The popcorn chicken was my favorite! It was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The peashoot quality was fresh, the fries were crispy and the Lo Ba Beng was flavorful. When I come back, I would definitely get the popcorn chicken again and try their other dishes and apps. read more

We walked by this place and recognised the 886 area code. We were pretty intrigued, so after walking around a bit, we decided to come back and try the food here. Honestly, the thing we love the most in Taiwanese cuisine and that is most comforting to us are beef noodles, so that's what we got. I thought it was worth the trip, and I think I would come back for it! The service was fine, and the ambiance was fun, very cool. I saw somewhere that there was a drinking challenge, and I thought that was pretty interesting. The popcorn chicken was also pretty good, although my fav by far is the beef noodles with soup. I would be back to dry the dry beef noodles though! Would recommend to others. I know I'll be back at some point in time, it's just a matter of when. read more
I tried the beef scallion pancake wrap, lo ba beng, and Taiwanese sausage fried rice for take out. Pick up only took around 20 minutes for my order to be ready which was really quick and easy. The lo ba beng already comes with an egg, but I didn't know that so I added an additional egg which I didn't need. There were a lot of preserved vegetables which were delicious, the egg was jammy, and the meat was saucy and flavorful! This is some of the best braised pork rice I've had in the city, but in my opinion it's still not as fatty as the braised pork rice I've had in Taiwan (which I prefer it this way since it's adds more flavor and melts in your mouth). The Taiwanese sausage fried rice was good and a pretty big portion! It came with lots of egg and sausage in every bite. I also got the scallion beef pancake wraps which was my favorite. The sauce it came with was delicious, the beef wasn't too greasy, and it came with veggies inside that made it refreshing with added crunch. I'd definitely get this dish again! read more

A unique Taiwanese restaurant in the NYU area! For appetizers, we got the pickled cucumber salad that was refreshing and had a good balance of acidity and sweetness. I appreciated the large cuts of cucumber that was pickled nicely. The oyster pancake was interesting--a slightly chewy rather than doughy texture to the pancake and had a spicy keychupy sauce spooned across. It was a bit too spicy for my liking but balanced well with the cucumber salad! We also got the three-cup chicken that was served in a hot bowl. The dish itself was super flavorful and moist, and the aromas of basil deepened the flavors of the spices in the chicken. Same with the Sausage Fried Rice--couldn't believe how much flavor was packed in it. It was slightly oily, but delicious nonetheless. Overall, I definitely recommend coming here and trying the three-cup chicken and fried rice! read more
One of the best restaurants on St Marks, hands down. It's worth the wait and the food is delicious. This is a no frills establishment. You'll be sitting on a plastic stool at a simple table in the middle of a crowded restaurant - it's part of the appeal. Order a fishbowl or some soju. We had plain soju with beer and it did the trick. There are no menu items that aren't delicious. My absolute favorite thing on the menu.... The bacon and cabbage. Cabbage is general is such a underrated vegetable. It pairs perfectly with bacon and this dish is just a delight all around. Arrive early, put your name on the list, and live out our best life with soju bombs and thoughtful food. read more
This is a fun trendy place for Taiwanese street eats. Super trendy, so a very IG-friendly places, but ngl it's not the best Taiwanese food I've had. I came here with a gf on a Friday waited about 30 minutes before being seated. I guess I would describe it as modernized Taiwanese street food, but not all of it was great. We got stir fried pea shoots, Taiwanese sausage, blood cake, and scallion pancake beef roll. TBH, I didn't think anything was super stellar. Pea shoots were pretty good, but standard. The blood cake was interesting and basically a rice cake smothered with a slightly spicy gravy. The scallion pancake beef roll has so much raw scallions and spicy mayo in it, it totally overpowered any other taste. The Taiwanese sausage was swimming in this strange green sauce that tasted like straight up Chinese liquor. I know I sound like I'm hating on this place, but I'm not, I think my expectations were just different. The table next to us got the friend chicken and it looked amazing. My friend said the oyster omelette is also good, but I don't eat eggs. Basically come here for the vibes and if you're looking for something unique in the East Village. read more

I would rate this spot 3.5 but rounded it up. I have heard good reviews about this spot. Food was decent but I don't think it was spectacular. None of the dishes really stood out to me. Service and interior were good. I'm glad I checked it out but I don't see myself returning. read more
I was a worried that I would have to wait longer than I did for a table for 2 on a Saturday night! But don't let the line outside daunt you, they move fast! This is a great Taiwanese restaurant in a really fun spot! Food: the popcorn chicken is a must have! Loved the honey glaze. Pairing that with the notorious tfc was a mistake though! The chicken sandwich is first of all huge and very fried! I would come back and order a rice or noodle dish instead! But it was tasty and I really enjoyed the cabbage especially Price: very reasonably priced especially given portion sizes. I ended up taking some food back with me! Ambience: I like the set up of this place! It has an intimate and interesting vibe with all the vibrant colors but overall dark room Service: good service! I'm happy that they were not pushy and let us take our time with the meal read more

Cute date spot or for dinner with friends! The interior design is to die for- make sure to take some selfies in the bathroom. We got the scallion beef pancake, lo ba beng, beef noodle soup, and seaweed fries. I would say the seaweed fries were my favorite. It was a nice twist on fries and a good snack to munch on. The serving was pretty big, it correlated to its cost. The beef noodle soup was good in terms of noodle texture and broth. I do wish the beef was a bit more marinated. I've had cheaper at bo ky and it was much more flavorful there. The beef with the pancake was really soft and the outer pancake part was perfectly crisp. Lo ba beng was a popular pick as well. I recommend doing family style, which is popular in asian culture. I would love to come back do the alcohol challenge! read more
The tofu skin and veggies are very good here, nice garlic in the stir-fry. Beef noodle soup (ordered without extra meat) came with 3 thick pieces of beef and a large amount of noodles; I'd recommend coming here with a large appetite or splitting with a friend! It does have the tiniest bit of spice, which is not noted on the menu, but it's easily handable even by those who have no spice tolerance whatsoever (like me). The popcorn chicken had more white pepper in its crust than what I'm usually accustomed to, but it had a satisfying crunch and chew, and the chicken was gratifyingly juicy. Scallion pancake comes with sesame seeds on top (in case you have allergies). Not sure what the difference is between the "house scallion pancake" and the "just a scallion pancake," but in my opinion the just a scallion pancake was perfectly fine. Its texture is less of the flaky kind and more akin to the type that's crunchy on the outside + chewy on the inside (see picture for a close-up on its cross-section). Would not recommend getting the fried tofu. The fried tofu ends up being basically fried stuff encasing mainly air with a few strands of silky tofu. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the flavor is good. Service was reasonably fast and all of the employees were very nice and accomodating (bringing out extra chairs for members of our party to stack our coats since there weren't any coathangers). The inside has pretty lights and decorations, and the vibes are great. The bathroom is very clean, which is always a good sign to see. read more
Modern takes on taiwanese classics. While the soju cocktail was just okay, the price and portions here are hard to beat. The wait for tables usually moves quick. Loved the beef roll the most! Nice chewy wrap with savory veggie and beef filling. The popcorn chicken is a good shareable but nothing special. Fun ambiance and great spot for a quick bite and some drinks. read more
This is my second in time here... This place is better suited for just a quick bite appetizer type place, eating a full meal here is eh. The beef noodle soup is decent but the beef saute was terrible. Got food poisoning and threw everything up. The vibes were cool, gives me old school street vibes and service was good but just the food was mid. read more
It's hard to find good Taiwanese food in DC where I live, so I always try to stop by 886 when I'm in NYC. Everything about it reminds me of the motherland, from the name of the restaurant to the plastic stools at the outdoor tables to the canned apple cider (iykyk). My favorite dishes are the scallion pancake beef wrap and the beef noodle soup - can you tell I love beef? Even though the beef wrap isn't entirely traditional, the szedaddy mayo is soooo good. And the beef noodle soup honestly just tastes like home. The Taiwanese sausage fried rice is delicious too! My partner never had Taiwanese sausage before I took him here, and he couldn't stop talking about it for a whole week after. I was also surprised to see they have some lesser known dishes like fly's head (sounds horrible but is delicious on its own or with rice) and pig's blood cake (I actually hate this but I appreciate bringing the culture to the states hahaha). The staff are nice and friendly, and I've even seen Chef Eric out of the kitchen bringing food out to tables several times, which is super exciting as a fangirl. Whoever is in charge of their IG is also hilarious LOL def check them out. One of my fav spots to get my taiwan food fix! read more

Located in the St. Marks area, 886 is small restaurant that does a modern take on many classic Taiwanese dishes. The spot is trendy, yet it brings you back to Taiwan where you sit at these little tables; nothing fancy. My friends and I went for lunch on the weekend and there was definitely a wait, but luckily we didn't have to wait that long since the food actually came out pretty quickly. As for the food, we got: - Honey Glazed Popcorn Chicken - it was crispy fresh and delicious. I wish the order did come with more pieces for the price though. - The Notorious T.F.C. - the chicken was so crispy and the batter was light. The chicken pieces were bigger than the sandwich itself, so I'm glad they gave a knife to help cut it. It was good, but I felt like it was missing some flavor. - Lo Ba Beng - delicious with a good mix of rice and meat. It comes with an egg, which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. - Sacha Black Pepper Beef - I think this was my favorite. There was so much flavor and I would describe this in a Cantonese phrase, "wok-hei". While it was being cooked, the fire was big enough to give that delicious charr. Overall, I had a nice meal. Although it is more expensive than I expected, I think it's still worth the visit. read more
Came for lunch on a weekday with two other people and tried a bunch of things: + Honey glazed popcorn chicken + Notorious TFC + Lo ba beng + Peashoots with tofu skin + Seaweed fries The highlights were the popcorn chicken and the fries, though the Notorious TFC was also awesome. Overall a great spot! read more
Highly recommend The Notorious TFC! It was such a delicious fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was perfectly fried and juicy. The daikon slaw goes really really well with the fried chicken in the sandwich. And OMg the sauce is amazing too. I think it was the perfect amount of spiciness with a good amount of kick that is not overwhelming. We also got the Taiwanese Sausage fried rice which was not as good in comparison to the tasty fried chicken sandwich. The fried rice only really had egg, scallion, and a few pieces of sliced sausage... It was quite simple and did not wowed us like the chicken sandwich. read more
Drooling just thinking about my meal at 886 right now. I ordered the Three-Cup Chicken, Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice, Tian Bu La Fish Cakes, and Hakka Stir-Fry. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. My favorite was the fried rice. The Three-Cup Chicken was tender with the perfect savory-ness. The Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice melted in my mouth. The sausage was sweet and the rice and eggs itself were salty. The best balance. The Tian Bu La Fish Cakes were crunchy on the outside with the best seasoning and soft on the inside. The dipping sauce paired really well too but I didn't mind eating the fish cake by itself either. The Hakka Stir-Fry was also bursting with flavors. The celery was a nice crunch with a softer tofu and meat. There is also such a fun ambience. It felt refreshing with the purple lights and lively chatter. Absolutely loved 886 and can't wait to come again to try more items on the menu. It's the perfect place to catch up with friends and enjoying a traditional Taiwanese meal. read more

I've come here a few times but I decided to take one of my out of state friends here recently! She really enjoyed her dinner here and that made me happy! First off , the service was great! Our waiter was very attentive and friendly! My phone charm had a broke right as I was leaving since the seating area is tight it had gotten stuck and yet they were very understanding and quick to clean it up .One of the other waitresses was also so sweet and gorgeous! The wait staff was very interactive with those doing there alcohol challenge and it definitely Made the vibes of the restaurant more lively! For the food , everything I ordered was delicious. My friend was vegetarian so I was happy they had a good selection for her to choose from! I really enjoyed the tofu specifically! The sauce it was paired with it was so good! Great place to take friends to! read more

We came here on a weeknight to celebrate our friends' birthday and the service was terrific. They gave us free shots which we appreciated! We were able to bring the birthday cake as well and was thankful they didn't charge a cake cutting fee! The ambiance is very intimate and laidback so perfect to hangout with friends and family. The food also was fantastic! read more
886 has been a great surprise. I was very skeptical since those with a hype and in st Marks can be to "americanized" but very surprised that the food was actually very good!!! This place is realy small with about 10 tables in the dining room. Lights are blue neon so the place is quite dark. The rest of the decor simulates any night market street food vendor tables you find in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia... platic colored stool and metallic tables. Utensils and plates as well. We went for anlunch and glad that they offered lunch specials. Two combinations both at $25 which includes two appetizers, one main and one drink. We went for one lunch special (great deal) ordering fried tofu, chicken popcorn and loofah with clams. The fried food was actually amazing. Tofu super crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, same as chicken, crunch out and juicy in! Also we had 3 cups chicken and the lobaben (rice with minced meat). Both were actually delicious and cooked Taiwanese style. Service good and friendly. 4 stars only because clams should have been more fresh. Will def come back tho! read more

If you're looking for authentic taiwanese food in the village, this is your place! We came right at opening and were seated immediately. Unfortunately they weren't seating anyone inside yet so we ended up sitting outside which was fine since the weather was nice. We ended up ordering a bunch of things to try and everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked! The drink menu was also pretty creative with many drinks to choose from. They didn't have the lychee soju available so we ended up getting the Guava which was pretty good as well. I'd definitely come back next time to try some of their other items on the menu! read more
We came her today to try 3 items: 1) taiwanese sausage, 2) popcorn chicken, 3) braised beef noodle. The taiwanese sausage and popcorn chicken were so amazing!! They were so flavorful! The taiwanese sausage was tender, savory, a tad sweet and that green sauce was amazing (it tasted like the mustard greens that is found on taiwanese porkchop w rice). The popcorn chicken was crunchy and tender and that sauce was delicious (not too sweet). The braised beef noodle was good. The noodles was al dente and chewy. The braised beef was so tender. Maybe it was an off day because the soup was not flavorful (felt like something was lacking). I was amazed with how fast the foods came out fast. Attentive service. read more

886 has been on my list of places to try when I'm in NY. I didn't get a chance to dine-in but I ordered the Honey Glazed Popcorn Chicken to go. I've seen so many reviews rave about it that I had to try it. The Honey Glazed Popcorn Chicken was super juicy and crispy. When I got the order it was piping hot so I had to wait a bit before I ate it. I liked the sauce that it came with and it was seasoned well. There was a bit of a long wait for them to make the chicken though like around 20-30 minutes. I wish I got a chance to dine-in and try their other Taiwanese dishes since the popcorn chicken lived up to its hype- maybe next time I'm back in NY. read more

A cute, trendy and popular taiwanese restaurant in st marks with great service! I came here with my sister on a Sunday evening around 7:45pm without a reservation, and we were able to snag a table outside. There's plenty of menu options for both food and drink. We tried their sesame noodles and beef noodle soup. For drinks we got hey song sarsaparilla (tastes like a mix of cola and root beer) and guava juice. As taiwanese girls, we agreed that our dishes were pretty good and overall tasted pretty authentic though with a slight modern twist. Next time, I definitely want to try their alcoholic drinks since they look really fun! I'd recommend this restaurant for any time of the day. read more

The service was great, everything came incredibly fast, and our server was really nice and accommodating. The guava soju carafe was really sweet, I would say it's on the stronger end for alcohol taste. I also ordered the three cup chicken with koshikihari rice, which was fantastic! The flavor was a mix of sweet and savory and it comes on a portable stove. It could definitely feed two people. The koshikihari rice was high quality. I also got the karaage/popcorn chicken which was super crunch and delicious. I recommend ordering the apple sidra and mixing with the guava soju (or drinking alone, it's delicious). As for ambiance and vibe of the restaurant, I went on a Friday evening around 11 and it still had enough space in the venue to be comfortable. Some restaurants pack their patrons in like sardines, but here I was comfortable enough to eat in peace. Great for pictures. read more
FOOD - so good, one of the best Taiwanese I've had in a while honey glazed popcorn chicken - glaze was so good, had a bit of sacha flavor to it as well. chicken pieces were p big and well done beef noodle soup - standard. the beef bits tho were soooo soft. I liked that it wasn't too heavy so like u don't get sick of it afterwards lou ba beng - lu rou fan. didn't like the sesame paste flavor in it as much, but it was ok, the quality was there. would've liked to see more meat in it sacha black pepper beef - amazing taste. no complaints mango sake bomb - so good, doesn't even taste like alcohol PRICE - normal SERVICE - normal AMBIANCE - super cute night market vibes read more
I was running out of the Sze Daddy chili sauce which I acquired in my Yelp swag bag earlier this year (Thank you Yelp!) So today I made an effort to pick up a couple of jars at the main source. 886 is a small popular Taiwanese /Asian fusion spot on bustling Saint Mark's in the East Village. 886 is also the country code for Taiwan. Since it was a chilly day, an order of Hot honey popcorn chicken, and the Spicy 'Three cup' chicken, with ginger & Thai basil were perfect warming delicious choices. All were take-out. There was a full crowd seated indoors, as it was too cold to sit outdoors. Service was prompt and friendly. Will definitely return. We like spicy! :) read more
No wait on Sunday at noon right when they open! Friendly staff and food was delicious and filling. Next one I want to try their other dishes like beef noodle soup and beef roll pancakes! Recommend: - Fried Chicken Sandwich, this was huge! - Lo Ba Beng Not a fan of: - Pig's Blood Cake, taste of pig blood was faint as the sauce overpowered everything. read more

Great food, it's improved a lot since the last time I was here. We also got the popcorn chicken, three cup chicken, and sesame noodles. The scallion pancake with beef and Taiwanese sausage fried rice were my favorites. The indoor space is a little crowded and not great for big groups so we sat outside. Also ordered sake bombs with flavored beer and they were delicious. Food is just slightly salty but good for just a casual hangout. read more

Very popular spot in EV which is always booked out. Tried it one slow weeknight and it was nothing special. Went with my friend from Taiwan and she said it wasn't that authentic either. Not for me but give it a try. read more

What gluten free options do you have?
They barely have any pescatarian/vegetarian options...highly doubt they have gluten free.
Do they use MSG in their food?
Yes. Nothing but the best Ajinomoto 99% pure mono sodium glutamate. Good for the tongue and good for the body. Less sodium per oz than table salt. Boom bam flavor.
