I've been wanting to try the beef noodle soup for a while, and it did not disappoint. It's a bit on the pricey side, but the broth was rich and flavorful, the portion was generous with large chunks of tender meat, and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I also asked for extra pickled vegetables on the side, and they were very generous with it. My mom ordered the Xue Cai Rou Si Mian. I didn't try it myself, but she seemed perfectly happy with it and had no complaints. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu.

Mama Lee has been around forever! The owner is the chef, waitress, host, cashier, everything! Which…read moremeans if she's cooking for someone else, she can't cook for you yet. But it's definitely worth the wait because she makes some of the best authentic home style Taiwanese/Chinese food. It's a tiny restaurant with only 3 or 4 tables. Self serve rice and drinks. Make sure to have time to talk to the owner because she's so nice and always willing to have a good conversation!

This is the epitome of a hole in the wall find. But with maybe the best home cooked Taiwanese food…read morein NYC. Mama Lee is the chef, server, busser, cashier and all things. 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. It's a unique experience that makes you feel like you're at a Taiwanese grandma's house.

This is one of my favorite go to breakfast places…read more You cannot beat the prices for authentic Taiwanese style breakfast. When we come as a family, we always get the soy milk, salted tofu (personal favorite), pan fried dumplings, steamed veggie dumplings, scallion, pancake with beef, you tiao and stinky tofu. The stinky tofu isn't that pungent, but the accompanying pickle vege is just perfect and the fry tofu is suitable for the entire family to enjoy.

Got the Taiwanese pork chop rice, I appreciate that they are smaller medallions which is easy to give to my toddler but it's a bit greasy and flavorless. Interestingly enough soup dumplings are pretty good, but the fried wonton are meh. Not really a fan of the open ends, which means all the juice is already leaked out. The eggplant lunch special was pretty good but there's absolutely no meat. For a Friday where there was only 2 other tables the entire time we were there the service was crap. I thought it was bad last time I was there when it was packed but I guess it doesn't matter. I usually expect bad service at Chinese places but they didn't even give my toddler a fork which is a whole new level of bad. And of course the service is super slow, the lady that is there just can't do it all herself. My biggest gripe about this place is the Taiwanese food just isn't great.

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

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.

Their meat is cooked to be extremely tender, the soup is also simmered with real beef meat, not just bones, so it's extra flavorful.

Coming to Bayside for dining is always enjoyable for its calming environment. Parking is also very easy around here.

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.

I think it depends on the chef who is working that day. But it's always delicious and authentic Taiwanese food is pretty hard to find in NYC. Service can be slow. Usually, there are 1-2 servers working at a time. When we've gone, there is usually one server taking orders, bringing out food, handling calls, taking takeout orders, etc. So if you need something, I recommend calling the server and asking for everything you need. But I think the food far outweighs anything else at Tihu.
