    Taiwanese Fried Chicken Bento
    Gene W.

    Decided to try one of the food stalls in the 99 Ranch grocery store today (Saturday). They don't officially open until 11:30 am for lunch. You get a 5% discount if you pay cash. Bring cash. Also, get a drink at the drink aisle at 99 Ranch to save money. $0.99 Arizona Ice Tea Half Half Arnold Palmer. Ordered Taiwanese Fried chicken bento box & Taiwanese Spicy Beef Noodle soup. Took about 15 minutes as they make it to order. The bento box comes with rice, veggies (corn, cabbage, broccoli, pickled mustard greens), tofu cake, a small slice of taiwanese sausage and half a tea egg. The fried chicken came in a separate box. Everything was really good. The chicken was hot, crispy and flavorful with spices but dry. They chopped up to breasts into bite sized pieces. Rice was cooked perfectly. Cabbage was delicious. Corn was average. Tofu cake wasn't great. Sausage, egg & pickled greens tasted homemade. 9/10 The beef noodle soup would have been better if in a real ceramic bowl with everything mixed in. Instead, broth was separated from noodles and toppings. Not optimal taste and flavor. However, it was still good as a dish. Flavorful slightly spicy broth with tender slices of beef, chunks of carrott and radish (?) and some baby bok choy. Noodles were fair. Maybe a little overcooked. Needed more chewy and bite. 8.5/10 Overall, the food was very good and some parts remind me of homecooking. Looking forward to trying more from here and other stalls.

    We tried their spicy beef noodle soup. The noodle texture was surprisingly decent -- nice chew and did a great job soaking up the broth. Even though it's labeled as "spicy," I barely got any heat from it. The beef itself was soft and pretty decent quality, but the broth leaned a little too sweet for my taste, likely from the chunks of radish and carrot. I was hoping for something a bit beefier or more savory. Portion size felt small for the price too 2.5/5

    Love this place! The food is very authentic! The stinky tofu reminds me of the 黑色经典 I had when traveling in Hunan! The bento box is a good deal for the price and very tasty, braised pork is juicy and flavorful. We have been coming back here couple times and no disappointment! Highly recommend.

    So glad 99 Ranch's food court is generating more business with their new delicious vendors! I'm always on the lookout for Taiwanese food so I'm glad that this place opened up and is closer to us! We decided to try the bento boxes with black pepper chicken and fried pork chop. All of the bento boxes comes with an assortment of side dishes, such as a tea egg and various stir fried veggies. I thought some of the sides were a bit on the saltier side, but that's okay since the box came with rice to even it out. There's an ample amount of protein for each of the bento boxes and it was enough to have a bite of protein for each spoonful of rice! They were running a promo where if you buy an entree, you get a free order of popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken was delicious and had a bit of a heat to it which we really liked! Service was good, ordering was quick; however, keep in mind that it might take them a bit longer to make the food so if you're in a rush, order your food first, shop around, and then come back to get your order. Other than that, I'd recommend checking this place out and trying their bento boxes and popcorn chicken!

    This is a Taiwanese cuisine restaurant inside the 99 Ranch Asian market. They offer authentic Taiwanese street food and fast food combos. I ordered the popcorn chicken, the black pepper chicken bento, and the spicy crawfish bento. The popcorn chicken was average as expected. The black pepper chicken was really good! The black pepper sauce was spicy, but flavorful. It was nothing similar to the black pepper gravy or sauce in any Western cuisine. I stronger recommend you try it, but it is spicy. The crawfish bento was good, and my wife likes it. The lady at the reception was really nice and she was also responsible of making drinks. Since it is inside the food court inside the Asian market, you pretty much need to find a table on your own. The environment is fine. I took one star off because of the portion. It was pretty small for me.

    To be honest I came here looking for the other Taiwanese restaurant that had previously took this spot, but I was okay with trying something new. I had a craving for Basil popcorn chicken and was able to get it from here. Unfortunately the prices are a bit high, normalized a bit by buy one, by second 50% off deals but generally speaking the prices were high for the small servings you get. This place is inside the 99 ranch in the food court area and you can order on the kiosk or with a friendly face at the front. While ordering was quick, the food wasn't and it was a little frustrating to have to wait so long for such small portions.

    Braised Pork Belly Bento

    Almost as good as the DC location! I'm happy to see more things opening up at the 99 Ranch food court. Solid Taiwanese food. The black milk tea was perfectly creamy and sweetened. I wished they had the Momo's Potted Plant Milk Tea since it was topped crushed oreos. We got the Braised Pork Bento. The bento box was a great deal since it came with a lot of things like cabbage, corn, egg, tofu, etc. I enjoyed the flavor of the braised pork! Wish they gave more meat in the bento.

    Milk tea & Fried Pork Chop Bento
    Kathryn P.

    The fried pork chop had good flavor, but I didn't care too much for the sides which were ok. The milk tea was pretty sweet and has a decent tea flavor, but I would prefer it to have a stronger tea taste.

    Cozy noodle shop in one of the many plazas out here in Fairfax. We came in as a party of two in a…read morevery cold Saturday evening and was able to get a seat quickly. The place was filling up and the ambiance reminds me of a traditional bustling noodle house - perfect for the cold snap we were experiencing at the time. We got hot and sour noodle soup, sichuan beef noodle soup, and an order of their pork soup dumplings. Portions are generous and prices are fair, it's easy to become a regular here if you live nearby. The hot and sour noodle soup is as advertised - just enough spice to complement the sour, but not overwhelm to make it feel like mala. It's served, as expected, with glass noodles, some bak choi, and some pork slices. Nothing spectacular but par for the course. The sichuan beef noodle foon soup was slight notch better. The broth gives really warm vibe and you can tell it's been brothing for a long time. Again just the right amount of spicy to make you keep slurping for more. The noodles were average, chewy, but not bouncy. Also comes with a healthy amount beef slices and bak choi. Again - a great noodle soup bowl but nothing jaw dropping. Soup dumplings were fantastic, however. The pork definitely has its own marinade and the soup is flavorful. The dumpling skin is well constructed and complemented well with the noodle soups - especially in cold weather. tldr; solid noodle soup spot, they seem to be consistent and really hits the mark when you're in a for your noodle fix. Soup dumplings are probably a must get side dish with whatever your main is

I had the szechuan beef noodle soup - the beef was tender alongside its tasty noodles and savoury broth. The scallion pancakes were solid and crunchy. Loved their soup dumplings too with the sauce and ginger. I did except more soup in the dumplings but was still great. Need to come again if I'm craving Chinese food.

The concept of seasoning your own broth was a new thing for me but I do like this so you can cater your sodium to your liking. Adding a hint of pepper with a generous amount of salt was the combo move! The kimichi here was fantastic!!! I love the sides just as much as the main course. The menu has other soup based to select from so a variety for whatever you're looking for. I will need to come back to tried their pancake as it smelled so good! Service was friendly & nice. Despite the weekend rush, I was seated right away on a Sunday night. There is limited parking out front but of courses there's plenty of parking just in the other lot. Indoor seating is limited as the place is rather small.

We ordered Brisket Seolleongtang and shared a Seafood Scallion Pancake - which is huge for two people by the way. The beef bone soup is so flavorful and only needed salt to taste. The broth was obviously cooked for hours and was really soothing. The service was fantastic. The lady serving us was in a rush but was really friendly. The prices were reasonable given the serving sizes of the food we had. The ambiance was casual and everything looks clean. I would love to come back soon!

The place itself is quite small for dine in, but I'm pretty sure that's not their target so we were able to get a seat for 2 pretty easily on a Friday evening. We got mostly "ABC" comfort foods - orange chicken, Yangzhou fried rice, Singapore rice noodles - and an order of their dumplings in spicy sauce (a bit surprising as it's a more northern China style compared to the rest of menu). It was definitely a bit much for just 2 of us but we intended to take home leftovers. All of it was delicious, cooked to spec, but what really makes them stand out is their superior "wok-hei"; it is the soul of wok-style dishes and compliments to the chef(s) - they absolutely know their craft and it shines in the flavor. This craftsmanship is lost in the new generation and it's a real treat to see it preserved here out of all places. Dumplings were splendid. Juicy and handmade, definitely hits that nostalgic nook from the back of your head. tldr; charming Chinese takeout spot with superb wok-hei in their dishes
