    Ever since visiting Taiwan and having street food, specifically the chicken cutlet stalls, it's something I crave and can't readily find in the US. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Saw Legend Chicken and immediately decided it was worth dodging all the massage ladies clearly seeking more than massages right outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got the leg cutlet because I like dark meat but the worker said the other cutlet is probably double the size and even though it's white meat is still really tender. Will have to try that the next time I'm in town but had my Taiwanese chicken cutlet craving satisfied here!

    Nothing bad persay but nothing special either. Chicken is good maybe a little on the pricey side but still tastes good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Service was quick but no seating as it's just a hole in the wall[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Hot Spicy Legend Chicken
    Carina H.

    The Spicy Hot Legend Chicken was more hot temperature-wise than it was spice-wise, which is rare and not a bad thing! You could see the heat coming off the chicken. Even wearing the plastic disposable gloves provided, my fingers felt the heat of the chicken. I would recommend using the wooden skewers. The chicken was juicy and tender. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is very much a grab-and-go spot, but there are some tables and chairs in the small dining hall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Glad they fix the menu with correct pricing, so no surprised up charging the chicken is very good as always. During the week there's lunch break at 2-3pm now. And closer on Wednesdays

    Blood Rice Cakes

    Food stall with the stalls on the ground floor and a couple tables for seating in the back. The upstairs used to be seating as well, but is now employee only. They have a digital menu. Service was quick and friendly. The cashier said it would take 5-10 minutes and my order was ready in 5 minutes! Everything was packaged nicely in small containers with a couple skewers in each box. She put in napkins as well. I got the Legend Pops (popcorn chicken) with the hot level spicy. I was told it was very spicy, which was indeed very spicy! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Although I enjoy the spiciness, I think this would be better enjoyed mild or medium. The spiciness kinda takes away from the chicken. I ended up brushing off the chili powder and flakes, which sucks because it's 50¢ extra for the hot level spicy. I was craving some Blood Rice Cakes, so I got those as well. I went with mild level spicy. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, though a little on the salty side. It has a good amount of white pepper too, so if you're not a fan of that, then this is not for you. Decent spot if you're looking to grab and go. I would order in person, as food apps jack up the price, and it's not much of a wait.

    Legend chicken mild spicy with plum powder, legend pops Taiwanese style, broccoli, and green beans
    Farah M.

    Food was delicious. I loved the chicken. Even with mild spice level it was very spicy! So I recommend not getting it spicy at all. Instead get the plum powder. Also Taiwanese style was a little too garlicky for me but if you're a garlic fan go for it! The broccoli and green beans were also worth it! Service was normal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not a lot of place to sit but thankfully was not crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's definitely worth the trek to Flushing!

    Pretty massive cutlet. It had some nice spices on it but some parts of it were a bit dry.

    Leg cutlet
    Jenny W.

    Hands down love their Taiwanese fried chicken! I usually get the leg cutlet and it's cooked to perfection. It always comes out super juicy and crispy. It's located in a store with bunch of other food stalls. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are limited seats in the back for you to eat the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is hidden in the small food court.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you see yaya tea in the front, you're in the right place. Got their legend chicken. The medium hot is SPICY. My spice tolerance is really high so trust me, if you can't handle your spice, tone down. Big portion for the price (I think $14 something ). Thick cut of chicken breast, it has bones, so be careful. Lots of other snack and rice dish too.

    Leg cutlet! They even give you gloves and napkins to eat it with haha very thoughtful
    Lana S.

    Made it to legend chicken! I got the mild since I'm a wimp at spice. The leg cutlet seemed to be the thing to get. My leg cutlet was nicely breaded and was huge! I liked the taste but the seasoning was too white pepper for my taste. My best friend who loves pepper loved this chicken so I'm glad she was able to enjoy it when I couldn't eat it anymore haha. Interested to see what other flavors food they have :)

    Legend cutlet
    Sandy X.

    One of my go to spots whenever I'm in flushing. Their chicken was crispy and juicy. The meat is super tender and flavorful. For the size of the piece of chicken you get the price is extremely affordable.

    Nina C.

    Solid place for Taiwanese popcorn chicken and other fried taiwanese food. Ive been here 3 times and theyve always been solid. I usually get the popcorn chicken, which i really like. The way it is flavored is perfect. However, it is a little dry. I really liked the caulliflower, it felt healthy but was also really tasty!

    Sweet potato fries
    Mei C.

    Yum! one of the tastiest Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken I've had in a long time. Counter lady was really friendly and ordering process was simple and quick. Wait time for my order wasn't too long. One order of the chicken was packed full and piping hot; comes with wooden skewers. Chicken itself was seasoned pretty well, though it would be nice to have a variety of sauces rather than just ketchup. The sweet potato fries was good too; not too oily was fairly sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, nice stall located within this narrow Flushing food-hall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

What we ordered: - Pork Chop combo - Popcorn Chicken combo Both of our meals came with rice, stir fry veggies, and an eggs. We both enjoyed our meals, nothing special but just a decent meal as a good price. The veggies somehow were the highlight of our dish. Yum! It was a good size so we were full after finishing just one portion and took the rest home. We had two servers. The man was very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this place if you're in the area looking for a authentic Taiwanese/Chinese meal.

Of course, we expect the school to choose only the highest quality restaurants to order delivery from, and yes, it was quite good, considering that it was delivery that was lugged all the way from Flushing and ultimately had to be reheated in the microwave. Come this past weekend, we decided to plan a whole day trip to Flushing to visit Flushing Meadows Corona Park and eat some good Taiwanese and Chinese food. We search Yelp and we come across this place, OK Ryan. The restaurant is small and cozy, but packed a big bite. We had Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, Pork Chop lunchbox, Oyster Pancake, Pork Intestine Vermicelli, Taiwanese Sausage, and Golden Red Bean Pancake. Everything authentic and delicious. Oyster Pancake was probably the best I've had for a very long time - it was filled with oysters, not too doughy, not too saucy. Beef noodle soup had excellent depth of flavor and the meat was tender and delicious. We ordered way too much food and took a bunch of it home. Found out that the restaurant was cash or Venmo only. So I take out my phone and Venmo the bill. But wait, my Venmo app did not register OK Ryan as a new restaurant. In fact, it said I had paid this restaurant several... times.... before. Cue the freak out. Who hacked my Venmo account to buy Taiwanese food?? OK, so obviously, OK Ryan and OK Canaan are one and the same. Good for delivery, but now we know, much better in person. We'll try the real OK Canaan next time.

    Nuan Xin Rice Roll 暖心饭团 is a small spot focused on Taiwanese fan tuan, a type of stuffed sticky…read morerice roll that feels like a cross between a rice ball, onigiri, and kimbap. We walked into a compact, no frills space with a casual grab and go feel that fits the type of food being served. The shop keeps things simple, but the concept works well for a quick and filling meal, especially when you want something affordable that still has plenty of flavor packed into a portable format. The rice rolls are the main reason to come here. The purple sticky rice gives each roll a slightly chewy texture and makes it feel more substantial than a typical grab and go snack. Inside, the fillings create a good mix of textures with savory ingredients, vegetables, and sauces packed into each bite. We tried the eel rice roll, which stood out as one of the stronger options. The eel added a richer flavor that paired well with the rice and seaweed, and adding spicy mayo gave it an extra layer of flavor without overpowering the rest of the roll. The combination of the soft, chewy rice and the variety of fillings made each bite feel balanced and satisfying. What makes fan tuan enjoyable is how balanced it feels as a meal. It is compact, easy to eat, and surprisingly filling for the size. There are plenty of filling combinations to choose from, including meat, seafood, and more traditional options, so it is easy to find something depending on what you are craving. The portions are generous enough that a single roll can serve as a full meal, and the pricing makes it an easy choice for a quick lunch or dinner. Service is straightforward and the focus is really on getting the rice rolls prepared quickly. The staff moves efficiently, and the order turnaround is fast, which fits the grab and go format well. There is limited seating, so the experience is best suited for takeout or a quick stop rather than a long sit down meal. Nuan Xin Rice Roll is a great option for a simple but satisfying meal. The purple rice, generous fillings, and variety of combinations make it stand out from typical quick bites, and it is worth checking out if you enjoy onigiri, kimbap, or Taiwanese street food. It delivers exactly what the format promises: a compact, flavorful, and filling meal that feels more thoughtful than your average grab and go option.

My eyes lit up when I saw the menu. The owners are from Tainan, Taiwan which is often consider the culinary capital of Taiwan with many iconic traditional dishes and flavors. The restaurant is spacious but it does not have many table seatings (3-5 tables?). When we came it wasn't busy so we got a spot but we did see many people coming in for their takeout orders. The oldies they play at the restaurant take me back to my childhood. The place is structured very interestingly where it's an open kitchen so you can actually easily see how they prep the food in the back. We ordered: - oyster omelette pancake - mung wort kueh (4 pieces) - danzai noodle - mixed spice platter The oyster omelette was the highlight! The bottom is crispy and they use a generous amount of oysters. It's the most authentic oyster pancake I've had in the east coast. Alot of other "Taiwanese spots" don't make it correctly. I also love the mung wort kueh (hard to find places that sell this) - it's a fun snack to take to go. It's a savory mochi bun with shredded radish as the main ingredient. The danzai noodle is an iconic dish from Tainan. Its main star consists of the one shrimp and the marinated ground braised pork. Although I would prefer the dry version but they serve the soup version here. The broth tastes very clear and clean, doesn't feel like it's dosed with salt and MSG. We got the mixed platter - an iconic street food in Tainan is 滷味 (Lou Wei) which is consist of different ingredients tossed and braised in a soy-based spice sauce. They have a nice selection of Lou Wei options and the platter we got had pork belly, duck neck, tofu skin, and lotus roots. The spicy duck neck can be intimidating for those that have never had it but it is fun to eat. There are so many items on there that I can't wait to try. For first timer, definitely get the oyster pancake and Luroufan! I can't wait to come back and try more of the traditional Taiwanese dishes. They also have frozen dumplings that you can buy to go. 50 pieces for $28-$30 is a pretty good price!

There are many local Taiwanese food items that you won't find somewhere else. We had pork chop over rice, beef noodle soup, dumplings, sausages, and ba wuan. All were delicious.
