This is free with most orders so enjoy! Gua bao 8/10 Soft flavorful pork slices in light buns. They cover the pork in peanut powder so if you don't like peanut, bush it off or tell them ahead of time. Add a spicy sauce for an extra kick. Da lu mian 8/10 Healthy tasting mushroom soup. Lots of veggies, mainly mushrooms, no noodles, makes it a great alternative to meat. Lu Rou Fan 8/10 This is a little more inconsistent because sometimes it's amazing, super flavorful, savory and sweet. Other times it can be only OK. The egg is always fantastic though. The sauce and meat combination is what makes or breaks the dish flavor. Steamed veggie 8/10 Good quality fresh greens in stew sauce with bits of veggies in there. Bit pricey for greens but it's good and healthy.

The good- plenty of meat in Lou Rou Fan, the texture of stinky tofu, the no tipping but bus your own tray business model. Friendliness of staff behind the ordering counter. The so-so: not enough fragrance in stinky tofu, the slightly soggy/oily pork chop, and lack of fragrance in Taiwanese sausage. The somewhat expensive price( our lunch costing $56 total). Will probably revisit another time to see how other dishes taste and see what price point it will result in.

Having a bowl of Taiwanese Braised beef noodles used to be a signature thing when traveling to…read moretownship in Queens like Flushing in the 80s and 90s (Yes! It's before Yelp and even before internet time). I could not imagine I can have this noodle in Bayside now. Comparing to the famous beef noodles I had, this is pretty good but still a way to go. Let's start with the noodle. It is al dente and carry the soup really well. The braised beef made well too. The tenderness is just fine. However, I missed the big piece of meat instead of bite size chopped cube. It is easy to eat but could be more satisfying. The Shanghainese Pok Choy is a must in order to complete this dish authentically. However, it's overly chopped. I missed the couple halved Shanghainese Pok Choy placed nicely on the side. For the soup, the fave is fine and the balance of the sour and savory is just to the point. However, I wish I could have more pickled veggie that added more sourness to the soup. It would be much better to place a container of pickled veggie on each table for the customer to add it freely. That would be perfect. This place is cozy, clean and neat. Thanks for the ambiance. I think I would still come back when I crave for Taiwanese noodles. Lap Yin Calvin Kwok

We got the beef brisket curry with ho fun noodles and it tasted exactly like the HK curry noodle dishes I had growing up. The pork w salted fish hotpot rice had a lot of flavor without being overly salty, and it had crispy rice at the bottom of the pot. This was a very nostalgic meal for me.

Quaint noodle shop on Douglaston Parkway. Very spacious dining area since it took over the former…read morediner. Food is prepared pretty quick as I've done take out twice already. Menu is very limited with the protein options though with a few choices of noodles (spicy, ramen, or soup versions). They also carry poke bowls which I have yet to try. I did enjoy my beef over rice very much. Thin slices of beef, super tender and delicious. The sauce was on the sweeter side which was drizzled onto the beef as an au jus. And it came with half an egg, pickled radishes and broccoli. Another dish I enjoyed was the fish and cabbage hot pot. That was served with a bowl of rice. No noodles. Even with the spice level at "one pepper" rating, it was too much of a kick for me. But those that like spicy will enjoy it just fine. The fish pieces it came with were generous sized portions and this bowl was loaded with vegetables. Wood ear, mushrooms, cabbage, sliced white radish, and bean curd skin. It also has a few slices of spam (which I did order extra so I'm not sure if the normal is two slices). We also tried the pan fried pork gyoza which was perfectly fried on each side. Nice color. Taiwanese pork as a side comes with one pc per order. The fried chicken appetizer could use a little more spices but the chicken was so tender and very juicy. I liked it a lot. It does come with a dipping sauce which helps but I didn't use it much. All in all a good spot for take out but the menu will need to be expanded in order to have longevity. Sadly it didn't look busy each time I came to pick up. Staff is attentive and friendly.

If you have ever been to Taiwan, walking in here feels like stepping right back there! It has such cozy vibes that perfectly capture the feeling of early 2000s Taiwanese MVs. We were also able to park right out front, which was super convenient! A huge shout-out to Daniel, who showed us incredible hospitality! Even though the restaurant was full and he was managing the front solo, he handled everything with such grace. He kindly asked a customer if they could offer my wife and our baby a seat, brought us our drinks immediately in case we needed to drink while waiting for the food, and made sure we were completely comfortable while juggling other orders. Thank you, Daniel! As for the food, it's always consistent in the best way possible. We ordered our usuals: the braised pork with rice, the popcorn chicken with rice, and the kumquat lemon drinks. The quality is top-notch, and the portion sizes always leave us feeling full and satisfied! My wife would usually eat half the bowl and save the other half for the next day. FYI: If the restaurant gets busy, there is a kiosk inside where you can order and pay, which makes the whole process very convenient. Highly recommended!

The beef noodle soup is rich and comforting with a deep tomato flavor, and the beef is tender and flavorful. The chicken cutlet is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and pairs perfectly with the rice. The space is definitely on the smaller side, but service is super quick and efficient, which makes it ideal for a fast bite. Portions are generous, and the flavors taste very authentic, which keeps me coming back almost every weekend.

We got their stir-fried jjampong (smaller version), Busan jjajjangmyeon, and tangsuyuk. Portions were huge, despite us already getting the smaller size. I loved everything we tried. The stir-fried jjampong came with a variety of seafood and it was the first time I've ever tried it! The Busan jjajjangmyeong was saucy, had a smoky-wok flavor, and came with lots of pork and an egg. And, the tangsuyuk was crispy and not too bready. Absolutely delicious and I would love to come back to try their famous cheesy jjajjangmyeon.

You can get crispy breaded pork or chicken katsu, sweet & sour pork or chicken, chicken teriyaki, egg & vegetable fried rice or the house specialty, jjiajongmyeon. The jjiajongmyeun is a noodle dish with sweet & savory pork & onion sauce, similar to the Chinese dish. It's really dark in color, which is a little offputting, but once you mix it up and taste it, it's delicious. Combos come a bowl of fiery red spicy onion soup which includes a mussel and everybody gets kimchi, pickled onion & oshinko banchan. Each dish can also be ordered a la carte in bigger portions. The sweet & sour pork seems popular because a big plate piled high was brought to 3 neighboring tables. If you like dumplings the mandoo are really good, both steamed and fried. 2 fried mandoo come with each combo. Next time we'll have to try ordering a la carte. The spicy seafood noodle soup looks really tasty! At the end of the meal, everybody gets a small dish of fried dough balls drizzled in sweet syrup that was a great way to finish.

She is a one woman show so you should be patient. Because she works alone but has so many dedicated customers, her menu is limited. If you're dining in, you can grab hot or cold water or soda yourself at the table next to the counter and find a seat yourself. Some of the menu highlights are the lion's head meatball, braised beef, celery with pork, and salt and pepper fried shrimp, but everything is delicious. Because she is the chef and owner, she can make modifications or entirely new dishes upon request, but it may depend on how many orders she has waiting. Once your food is brought to you, you can grab some purple rice in the rice cooker yourself or Mama Lee can bring you white rice.

Here's a cleaner, more polished version of your review while keeping your tone and message:…read more A small, interesting spot opened around the corner, and since it looked like Taiwanese cuisine, I decided to give it a try. I ordered the beef noodle soup and the popcorn chicken. The beef noodle soup came out first--the bowl was massive, though the portion itself felt just okay for the size. The popcorn chicken was very tasty, but what confused me was that it wasn't hot when it arrived. It felt like it had been sitting out for a bit. My guess is they prepared the chicken first and held it while waiting for the soup so both dishes could come out together. Overall, the flavors were very good. The pricing is on the higher side, especially compared to Flushing. That said, if you're looking for a quick bite and don't want to make the trip out there, this place definitely gets the job done.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 6 Value: 7 Overall: 7 There are not too many good Taiwanese restaurants in NYC, and this one is right on that cusp for me. The chef is formerly from Ku Shain Taiwanese Restaurant from Flushing back in the days. I am in love with their Taiwanese Style Fried Rice Noodle. This dish alone keeps me coming back. Their Fried Popcorn Chicken is also quite yummy. Mince Pork Over Rice is hot or miss for some reason. With that said, I feel that their stir fry dishes falls a bit short compared to some of their competitors. Two of my favorite dishes, Fly Heads (too greasy) and Sautéed Kidney (overcooked), are somewhat underwhelming. I am also not a fan of their Beef Noodle Soup and Thread Noodle Soup. Anyway, I do like enough dishes here that I would come back to keep trying more of the menu. I'm always glad that we have more options for Taiwanese food, and I hope this restaurant stays around.

Tonight, my husband ordered the General Tso's chicken, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Of course, I couldn't resist ordering a little too much for myself-- fried bean gluten, mixed vegetables, pan fried udon noodles, and brine squid. As always, they sent out complimentary steamed pork soup dumplings and, to finish, two sweet fermented glutinous rice soups for dessert. I even had leftovers--udon noodles and fried bean gluten--for lunch tomorrow. Everything we had was absolutely delicious and carried a deep sense of nostalgia--the flavors truly brought me back to where I grew up in Shanghai. Needless to say, we left very happy and will definitely be back again soon.
