Service is expected of hole in wall place; nonexistent, so that is not factored into the review. but they really did not need to ask for extra tip like what service did you provide?? Pretty unprofessional IMO For a takeout, having you not pay right away and having you pay at table is a predatory practice that encourages excess tipping as well compared to other counter service restaurants (think Mcdonalds) Food was alright; not too salty. P balanced. Pig ears had good woody spices and seaweed had solid garlicky sea flavor. Fish was light and soft with scallion ginger aromatics. Tofu quail egg was just sweet sour. Sauce bit watery. Rice porridge was lowk great depression food (Hella water, a few sweet potato pieces saving it by a bit) Good if it was 35% less. The voucher if you pay with cash is over many visits like what so many places give immediate cash discount........ But it really is something you can make at home

You place your order through a QR code, which makes the process quick and easy. This visit, we ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, Tidu Sliced Beef Pot, and Tianjin Eggplant. The wings are a must-order here. They're always perfectly fried and crispy on the outside while still staying juicy and tender inside. The Tidu Sliced Beef Pot reminded me of a dry hot pot. It had a great mala flavor with a subtle numbing sensation, and the peanuts added a nice crunch and texture to the dish. The Tianjin Eggplant was simple but delicious, with flavorful pork that paired really well with the soft eggplant. Overall, the food here is comforting and satisfying. It's a place I'll definitely keep coming back to.

They have a small dine-in area. If you need to satisfy that "fried food" craving, definitely try their basil popcorn chicken! You can choose your spice levels, but wish they offered a sauce to pair. I will say I appreciate the size and juiciness of the popcorn chicken bites! Breading is not too bad either, we've eaten it even after letting it sit it the kitchen for a few hours and they didn't get soggy!

Food: 3/5 The food is nostalgic and mediocre at best. There…read moreis nothing extremely special about the food but it has a very homestyle feel to it. The pork cutlets were fried well but the breading just fell off. The grilled pork chop was pretty solid and had a good charbroiled flavor. The fried chicken was probably the best: it was juicy and crispy. However, it could've been better with a little more spice. I do like that it comes with a wedge of lemon to make the flavors a little more prominent. Service: N/A Not much of a service since you can order through the kiosk. You pick up your food when it's ready and it's pretty much self serve. Ambiance: 2/5 It's a pretty empty restaurant during the time we went on a weekday night, but there were still a couple of people. Felt like a cafeteria where we self serve and clean up after ourselves. Despite the rating, I would come back for a taste of home cooked meal from time to time. Very simple and balanced bento.

I saw most customers taking their food and eating it in their cars outside. The burrito itself felt small for the price, however it is quite filling. I ordered the original purple rice burrito with mild spicy sauce. I enjoyed the flavors a lot. Due to a work emergency I ended up having to eat my burrito 3 hours after I picked it up, but somehow the fried cruller inside was still super crispy. Not sure how they made that magic happen. Their seasonal mild spicy sauce which was indeed very mild but added a nice chili flavor. I would come back again to try the crispy version.

Had a great experience prior to this with a friend so I wanted to bring my mom to try. My experience from the service however was a little uncomfortable. When I went with my mom there was no customers. The server seated us at the bench closest to the wall (the table was pushed into the bench against the wall so we had to move it.) Apparently a lot of the legs on some of the tables and benches are wobbly so they put things under to balance it. The servers told us to move it back under the table since we pushed the table out to sit into the bench. My mom is older and she has a hard time walking, she asked to switch to another table where the benches and tables were already spaced out properly because it is hard for her to bend down and move the things under the table legs. The server gave my mom an attitude and asked why two people couldn't fit into our current table.

Drove all the way from San Francisco to Cupertino to try Liang's Village, and it was absolutely…read moreworth the trip. Although the new Cupertino location is smaller than their previous spot, the food hasn't missed a beat. We started with the Taiwanese kimchi and century egg tofu with pork floss! both great appetizers that set the tone for the meal. For mains, we ordered the tendon beef soup, dry mixed noodles, and the peanut-braised pork feet. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and reminiscent of classic Taiwanese home-style cooking. The dishes leaned slightly on the sweeter side, which added to the nostalgic feel. The standout for me was the beef tendon braised soup! The soup was hearty with picked mustard elevating the natural flavor of the beef, super satisfying, perfect for me to order because I usually don't eat the noodles. The tendon so soft and melts in your mouth! W texture Service was impressively fast; our food arrived within five minutes of ordering. The interior, however, feels more like a commercial kitchen and retail space than a traditional restaurant, with shelves stocked with Liang's Village frozen foods and sauces available for purchase. It's not the most atmospheric dining experience, but the food more than makes up for it. If you're craving authentic Taiwanese comfort food in the South Bay, Liang's Village is definitely worth a visit.

Well... This place was on my list of things to try until last night. We came in a little bit before…read moreclosing and the waiter informed us that we had until 8:25 to order. After placing our order, the food came out relatively quick. We ordered 2 beef noodle soups, the works, and 2 beef rolls. Starting off with the beef rolls, these came out cold. I heard that this is what this place was known for. The meat in our rolls wasn't even lukewarm and the pancakes came out super soggy almost like they didn't even try. Please tell me how the pancake look brown and crispy on the outside and still comes out cold and not crispy at all. My nephew even said they weren't crispy and he's 3. The lady told us that the sauce on the inside was salty and that's why they don't give extra and man was she right. 1/5* The beef noodles soup itself flavor wise was good and portion wise it was good for $21, but my noodles had no chew to them at all. I was attempting to pick them up with chopsticks and they would just break into pieces. They do give a decent amount of beef though in this. 2.5/5* for the flavor but don't expect much from the noodles. Same thing went for the works, it was a peanut buttery sauce that the lady claimed wasn't spicy, but my parents noticed that it had a kick to it even though they asked for it not to be spicy. The egg is a nice touch but not too sure if it's worth the price. Noodle consistency was the same as the beef noodle soup. 2.5/5*

This is an overdue review for Flaming Ox, I took a look at pictures in my phone and realized today…read moreis actually 30 days from my first visit here. So let's get started!! We came about 20 mins before lunch closing and the restaurant was still super busy, which is always a good sign. Luckily we only waited a few minutes before getting seated. The space is bright and cute, and I really liked the open kitchen and the ox logo on the wall. We got to try the Firecracker Fries, Spicy Shrimp & Pork Wontons, and the Traditional Beef Noodle Soup with thick noodles. The Firecracker Fries were definitely my favorite. Crispy outside, soft inside, flavorful with a little kick, and honestly addicting. The wontons were soft and packed with filling, although sweeter than spicy to me personally. The beef noodle soup was really comforting. Broth had a nice herbal flavor, noodles were chewy, and the beef was tender. The regular size was actually huge, enough for us to share and still have leftovers to bring home. Service was fast and friendly, we literally the last table there but they really took good care of us. Overall, really great experience and now I'm already craving those Firecracker Fries again.
