I really like the ambiance of this place! I had a long day today (in a good way) and was way too lazy to cook. This was on my way home and I've been meaning to try it. I like that their fried rice isn't too oily and I highly recommend the apple soda too

I was invited by a friend to join her for an event. Always open to try new spots I was happy to join. Fan Fried Rice Bar is a very unassuming small spot on the corner of Driggs, you might miss it if you are not paying attention. We had 7pm reservations, I arrived early and lucked up and found parking right across the street on a lovely Friday. (Now that's BK Love!) Once we settled and perused the menu, we went with popcorn chicken as the appetizer and glass of wine and sake to start. The popcorn chicken was flavorful, well seasoned and pipping hot. It paired nicely with the glass of wine I ordered and the drizzle of sriracha, I added. For the Fried Rice we ordered the Spicy Mango Shrimp and the seasonal fried rice of Sha Cha Beef. The seasonal fried rice consisted of flat iron steak, mushroom, chili, and bullhead barbecue sauce. I didn't try my friend's rice because I do not eat red meat. I ordered the Spicy Mango Shrimp which contained bell peppers, chili, mango and of course shrimp. The rice was tasty but lacked the spice I was expecting. On the menu there are options for an array of different fried rice & protein options as well as a few small plates and beverages. Overall a nice introduction to Taiwanese inspired street food and a local business that I may otherwise not have been aware of. This is a small restaurant with a few tables for outdoor seating and a staff that is attentive and pleasant. Just A Note: They have an array of different fried rice options for all dietary needs.

I made a reservation through resy but was over an hour late due to the road closures for the half marathon. I called ahead to let them know and they were so nice about it because their lunch hours weren't fully booked that day. I was feeling adventurous and didn't do my research beforehand aka look at the menu so I had no idea that all the entrees were fried rice dishes! I was highly intrigued because they must feel very skilled in making fried rice to be this bold! I ended up ordering the night market taiwanese sausage and popcorn chicken for the appetizers. The taiwanese sausage was nice and juicy but the cost was hefty in comparison to Taiwan's night markets. The spring onions sandwiched between the sausage made a big difference! The popcorn chicken had a lot less breading than bubble tea/snack shops, and the quality was a lot better than the places that I usually get it from. I especially liked the fried basil leaves that topped the dish. But again, the price tag was a turnoff. It was hard to pick the fried rice dishes because they all sounded interesting. We ended up getting the sha cha beef, which is seasonal fried rice, and numb numb pastrami. Our server kindly put in our request to make it a tiny bit spicy. The sha cha beef was just ok, which was kind of disappointing for $19! The numb numb pastrami was soo addicting because of the spices. The flavor profile was so much better than the sha cha beef. My husband kept saying he wants to try making it at home lol. I would say that the fried rice dishes were well portioned to justify the price. The space is decently sized but I could see it getting full quickly. It wasn't difficult to find parking nearby on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice, Popcorn Chicken
Ruby C.

Almost thought that I've stepped into the wrong place when I arrived, since the atmosphere is very western - it looks more like a bar than a taiwanese restaurant. Hope that they could add more taiwanese elements, perhaps putting some oriental decorations or playing taiwanese music ;) * Popcorn Chicken Authentic taiwanese popcorn chicken with fried basil, making it crunchy and fragrant. The boneless chicken breast could be more tender for my liking though. * Taiwanese Sausage Egg Fried Rice The taiwanese sausage amazed me! Very similar to those you could have at Taiwan night market. I was surprised that the fried rice tasted like the famous egg fried rice at Din Tai Fung, yet the rice was slightly too hard and grainy. It was a bit weird to mix peas into the fried rice too (my taiwanese friend kept nagging about it lol) I would certainly revisit for the authentic taiwanese sausage! My Recommendations: Taiwanese Sausage Egg Fried Rice Worth Returning ? Yes

Golden Kimchi
Marc F.

We were able to come out for an early dinner in the neighborhood on a Friday. The restaurant got real busy with reservations and walk-ins during our meal. There's bar seating, table seating (high and low tops) and outdoor seating. Looking to try as much as this place offers, we ordered the golden kimchi, popcorn chicken, cold zucchini noodle salad, and the (special) sha cha fried rice. The food came out so quickly - about 5 minutes after we ordered, we were elbows deep in bowls of food. The popcorn chicken was perfectly seasoned, crisp outside, tender inside. The golden kimchi had an unfamiliar, but welcome sweetness to it that was a nice foil to the other salty dishes. While we enjoyed the idea of the zucchini noodle dish, there was far too much garlic for our enjoyment. The bitter raw garlic absolutely killed our tastebuds. The sha cha fried rice was top notch. However, I had hoped for a little less rice and more star ingredients.

A little pricey for fried rice but it is in the heart of Williamsburg so it's understandable. I got the Sha Cha Beef for $19 which was good. It taste like the Chinese bbq sauce with fried rice which was exactly what I was expecting it to taste like. I also got the cucumber appetizer which was also really good. Spicy and refreshing! One bite of the fried rice and you can tell that it has been cooked on a wok which is why the fried rice was so good!

Vegan Mapo Tofu
Hana J.

Super cozy little spot in Williamsburg with some really great fried rice! Seriously, as the name suggests, this places fried rice really shines in comparison to everything else. You can't go wrong with any of the fried rice options, they're all gonna be delicious. The staff was very chill and sweet and the food came out in a pretty timely manner. I'd personally skip the mapo tofu but the oyster mushroom fries were super yummy! The portions are also pretty great! Super fun little spot to try out if you craving some delicious fried rice.

If you want to feel like you're living in a melancholy Hou Hsiao-Hsien film sharing one last meal with your lover before they catch the last train to Pingtung, then the vibes at Fan Fried Rice Bar are on point for you. I loved the mushroom fries, which I believe used trumpet mushrooms as a base and had great textural contrast. For a main, I stuck with the classic gold plated fried "fan," which is the perfect comfort food on a windy winter night. Don't skimp on having a Taiwan beer to complete the aesthetic.

Shrimp Ball
Annalise W.

Came here for a weeknight dinner with someone and didn't have to wait for a table. The restaurant is very very casual. Not sure I'd necessarily go too out of my way for this, but I live around the area and can definitely see myself coming back. The rice servings are a pretty decent size and can easily be shared between two people. We got: -Shrimp Ball appetizer: really flavorful. Definitely the best thing we ordered. -Taiwanese Sausage Rice: this was my favorite out of the two rice dishes we got. The sausage is really flavorful. -Chicken Specialty Rice: this was my least favorite. It wasn't bad - I definitely still ate it, but it just seemed to be lacking in flavor. I wish the chicken had more flavor or something and it was the same texture as the mushrooms. It was a bit one dimensional - I ended up mixing in some of the seasoning from the shrimp ball to it.

If you love fried rice, drop what you're doing and get over here. This place is exactly what this city is missing, modern chill, authentic, and packed with flavor. As someone who grew up eating homemade fried rice in Toronto, I know what the real stuff tastes like. The popcorn chicken and mushroom fries are tasty starters. And the Taiwanese Sausage fried rice reminded me of home. Whether you like classic style or more modern flavors you can't go wrong with any of it. No better way to spend a night out with comfort food, delicious drinks in a modern space.

Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice ($18)
Mike C.

This was one of my favorite places to go for a quick, super satisfying meal before their original Bed Stuy location closed last year. Now, it has reopened in a relatively huge space, a nice corner spot on Driggs that formerly housed the very short-lived Bunk Sandwiches. It's a small menu of appetizers and, obviously, fried rice, in 7 different varieties. We've tried a bunch over the years from the first location, with the standout definitely being the excellent Pastrami Fried Rice ($18) with chili paste, sichuan pepper, crispy garlic and peanuts. The Taiwanese Sausage Fried Rice ($18) is also a must, and some of the starters like the Popcorn Chicken ($13) round things out for a perfect meal - get a Cucumber Salad ($7) too for a little balance.

Vegetable Cold Noodle Salad
Alex L.

This restaurant is a great example of only offering a few items on their menu, but doing it really really well! I was pleasantly surprised that each dish exceeded my expectations. By far, the best thing here was the pork chop fried rice - hands down the best pork chop I've had in NYC and London combined. The batter was crispy but not dry and well seasoned. The pork chop itself was so incredible juicy and tender. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. The pork chop alone makes this a 5 star establishment. Other items were good too, but not as stand out. Pastrami Fried Rice - the rice had the nice char/wok taste that you only get with high heat wok cooking. It was tasty but had a little too much oil for my taste (which would collect at the bottom of the bowl). Taiwanese Sausage was sweet and savory. Plump and juicy, it was a nice appetizer. Tropical shrimp was decently fried but nothing special. The sauce was pretty good though. Vegetable noodle salad was also decent. You can tell it was fresh but it would have been nice if some of the strands were cut shorter (was a little hard to eat), but tasted good. I'll definitely be coming back for the Pork Chop Fried Rice.

Friday I had the opportunity to go to the grand opening. We had an appetizer sampler Cucumber Salad- simple nothing special Popcorn Chicken- liked it wish it had a sauce Taiwanese Sausage- pork sausage with hint of lime and black pepper with a slight sweetness. (So delicious) Tropical Shrimp Ball Creamy and delicious Entree Spicy Shrimp( Specialty Fried Rice) So flavorful and generous amount of shrimp. So good that we ordered another one for the table. The hint of heat and sweetness from the mango was a perfect balance. Boneless-In Pork Chop Classic Egg Fried Rice- huge piece of pork chop. It had little too much breading but the pork chop was very juicy and the rice was good. Beer Taiwan Beer Classic pale lager (light doesn't feel heavy) The restaurant is quaint and there was a DJ. One of the owner was there and was sweet. I'll definitely will come back because they really do know how to make fried rice. Only downer it was kind chilly in there. I wasn't sure if they had the AC on for Covid.

I genuinely love seeing Taiwanese cuisine get more recognition in the food scene, so it pains me a little to say that Wen Wen fell a bit short of my expectations. Before getting into the food, I do want to give Wen Wen its flowers for the way it pays homage to Taiwanese culture. From the moment I stepped downstairs, the little details immediately brought me back to the motherland. The mailboxes, the Taiwanese songs playing in the bathroom that gave off nostalgic KTV vibes, and even the faux windows felt like little love letters to Taiwan. I really appreciated how thoughtfully those cultural touches were woven into the space. As for the food, we ordered the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, braised pork, and cabbage with bacon. While all the dishes were well executed and enjoyable, none particularly stood out to me, especially considering the price point. I also found a few of the dishes to be quite heavily seasoned and on the oilier side, which made the overall meal feel a little too rich for my liking. Between that and the portion sizes, I felt there was some room for improvement in terms of overall value. That said, I can absolutely appreciate what Wen Wen is bringing to the Taiwanese food scene, and I'm always rooting for more Taiwanese restaurants to thrive. One thing I do have to rave about, though, is their fried tangyuan dessert. It was easily the highlight of our meal and honestly might be the one thing that brings me back.

The $30 sizzling sirloin steak and beef fried rice are a must -- both were so flavorful and the steak was perfectly tender. What makes this place especially great for a family outing is that they also have options for picky eaters. We tried the fried nuggets and French fries, as well as the spaghetti and meatballs, and honestly, both tasted amazing! I also got the ox rib soup, which had a pretty strong wine smell and taste. If you like that flavor, you'll probably enjoy it, but I was hoping for more of the sweet daikon/radiah flavor. Still, the soup was very flavorful and enjoyable. A really nice surprise came at the end when they brought the bill with a bucket of lollipops for the kids and little inflatable Paw Patrol wrist balloons. Such a cute touch!
