Oyster pancake - yum!
Kenny Y.

Ok, ok. I figured it out. So our local Chinese language school in Northern New Jersey would frequently order mass delivery from a restaurant in Flushing called OK Canaan. 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.

Great portions, friendly service, and the food was well balanced. I usually find popcorn chicken a little too salty at other places but thought this was tender and well seasoned.

Beef pancake roll
Anna P.

Our server took the time to explain menu items and gave some suggestions. Started with a warm sweetened soy milk. Perfect for the chilly weather or if youre sensitive to cold drinks. The server mentioned that the beef pancake roll was a popular item so of course we ordered it. Saw some good reviews on Oyster omellette but it was not for me. The flavor was fine but the texture was very gelatinous.

I really enjoy their Taiwanese flavors. Decided to come here with my mom since dear child of mine met up with her friends in flushing and my mom lives close by. First time coming for dinner instead of lunch. I think they do a lot of business from lunch vs dinner but also could be because it's the day before Christmas Eve so we were the only patrons. Ordered popcorn chicken, crispy fried intestines and a tofu with string beans.

Stinky tofu
Amy L.

Stopped by Ryan Taiwanese Cuisine since it's close to where I work and I wanted to try some Taiwanese comfort dishes. I ordered the stinky tofu, smoked duck, fried chicken over rice, and garlic chicken over rice. The stinky tofu had a strong aroma as expected and a crispy exterior. The smoked duck had good flavor and was probably the highlight of the meal. The fried chicken and garlic chicken over rice were decent portions and filling, but nothing particularly memorable. The atmosphere inside feels a bit old and dark, which gives it a casual, no-frills vibe. Service was friendly and the staff were welcoming. Overall, the food was okay but on the pricier side for what you get. It's convenient if you're nearby and craving Taiwanese food, but it didn't really stand out compared to other spots.

Soy milk

Unfortunately this place has suffered significantly from Shrinkflation. I haven't been here in over 5 years and was shocked to discover it was not the place I remembered Such tiny bowls of soy milk and small portions of food. Really felt I was being nickled and dimed and they were getting away with serving the very bare minimum Sadly I was extremely disappointed but I suppose this is what the economy has become I will not be back

This cozy no frills spot serves pretty good Taiwanese food and you'll be in and out pretty quick! I was craving Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup and was walking by here so I knew I had to try it out. I think their noodles were yummy and the broth was quite rich. I also had the popcorn chicken and oyster omelet which at the time, I had just been excited to try more Taiwanese food in the city, since there aren't that many. The gumminess of the oyster omelet did throw me off a bit as I wasn't expecting that. I had expected more of a silky texture. The popcorn chicken was great and nicely fried and seasoned. Overall, it's a solid spot and would recommend their soup!

Braised Pork Rice
Tom W.

Nice and comfortable Taiwanese restaurant in Flushing. The staff is friendly and responsive. Space is kept clean and the staff is diligent in keeping it tidy. Food is fresh and piping hot and delicious!

The beef chow fun noodles were somewhat dried out during transit, but was flavorful. The spare ribs were decent, somewhat small but tasty. Shanghai noodles were prepared well.

Stinky tofu
Maxwell L.

OK Ryan serves authentic Taiwanese fare, notably crispy stinky (emphasis on stinky) tofu. When I ordered this dish for takeout, the stench was pervasive through the bag. Despite the smell which could fill an entire elevator lobby, the taste of the tofu was not overly sour or fermented, and the sweet soy based dipping sauce balanced each bite of tofu well. The pickled cabbage on the side was a nice, crisp palate cleanser! I also got the railroad lunch with soy braised chicken. While the rice box had a lot of food inside, the chicken was unfortunately overcooked and dehydrated. It was still enjoyable to eat all together, just a bit dry. Online ordering for the restaurant is pretty streamline. They made the food in less than the advertised 30 minutes. The menu is very jam packed and a little overwhelming - but they have all you could ask for from a Taiwanese food place.

Stopped here Sunday morning to get the best Taiwanese breakfast in town. They have the best soy milk and beef pancake you can get. No frill kinda place so don't expect the best service but the delectable food will make up for it! With inflation these days, it's hard to find places that don't charge $20 for a small appetizer. There's a small parking lot so if the option is there, I would take public transportation.

Taiwanese three cup chicken.

OK Ryan, nestled in Flushing, is a great choice if you're craving homey and delicious Taiwanese food. Our group of five went family style, which is a must since the menu has so many tempting options. My two favorites of the meal were the fly's head (a simple yet effective mix of ground pork, black bean, budding chives, and chilies) and cabbage in XO sauce (can this be my side dish for every meal?). FYI, they're both listed as spicy but there's barely a kick. As comfort dishes go, the pork with bamboo shoot was top-notch. I also liked the beef with water spinach in BBQ sauce (love myself some sacha sauce), which was a bit wetter than I expected, but tasty nonetheless. For other classic options, you can't go wrong with the Taiwanese style stinky tofu (personally the pickled veggies have always been my favorite part), Taiwanese three cup chicken, and braised pork rice with egg (my favorite of this group). While I liked the flavors of the oyster omelette, it was a little too goopy for me and wayyy too goopy for my friends. There were barely any oysters, but that didn't surprise me. I also tried ba-wan for the first time, and it was glutinous with a tasty sauce, but I preferred the other dishes. The sesame oil pork kidney was also a little too soft for my taste, but take that with a grain of salt, as I'm usually not big on kidneys unless they're grilled and smoky. My kidney-loving friend really enjoyed it. I was also glad to snag the last grass jelly drink of the night. It was excellent and so refreshing! The wait staff was really friendly and helpful, and I really appreciated that. Flushing's always such a trek from Brooklyn, but I hope to return and try other dishes, especially from their breakfast menu.

肉鬆蛋餅 (Egg Baked Cake w Dry Pork) - crepe-like egg-based wrap of pork floss and sweet soy
Lillian F.

Came here for breakfast when we were in NYC a few weeks ago - I haven't had Taiwanese breakfast since 2017, and I have missed it desperately. We ordered the 燒餅油條 (Clay Oven Roll with Twisted Cruller), 肉鬆蛋餅 (Egg Baked Cake w Dry Pork), 熊貓飯糰 (Panda's Rice Roll), and 蘿蔔糕 (Radish Cake). The servers were efficient, the food was served quickly, and it was casual and comfortable, which made it all the more heartwarming. The 燒餅油條 was unwieldy and not as aromatic as I hoped, but still tasty. The 肉鬆蛋餅 was a little heavy on the 肉鬆 and a bit salty, but the 蛋餅 itself was perfect. The 蘿蔔糕 (not pictured) was tender, albeit a bit bland. The best dish was the 熊貓飯糰 (not pictured) was simply delightful, full of stuff with a combo of purple and white rice for a fun look. All in all, a really lovely experience that reminded me of home. Wish I could've tried the whole menu!

This was one of the best meals I may have every had! Everything was AMAZING! Went to Jiang Nan…read moreduring a quick work trip & was stopped in for dinner thanks to a recommendation! Really glad we listened! My favorite thing by far was the Honey Walnut Prawns, they were massive but sooooo good!!! Also the pork belly & dumplings are fantastic! Service was fast & efficient with the tablets. It's right in the middle of everything too. There's so much around I wish we had more time to explore.

The service was amazing, very attentive, and everything was clean. The food was pretty good, but there were some dishes I liked more than others. Ordering the boiled chicken slices as an app was the wrong move. It tasted okay, as good as it sounds, but I don't think it was the best app option. The pork belly in mashed garlic was good, but I wish the cucumbers had been more chilled and fresh. I liked Uluh's version of this dish more. Next time I would try the boiled chicken in chili sauce or the crispy fish. The flavor and texture of the braised pork belly were amazing. The pork was tender and fatty. The prawns were fantastic and very garlicky, just how we like it! The rice was pretty good and actually had a decent amount of seafood, but I found the shrimp to be the same quality you would get from a takeout Chinese restaurant. The rice was also on the more steamed side, less on the dry side. All in all, I thought the food was decent, but the service was amazing and the vibes were also a plus.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

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.

At one point I saw them pulling out the cups, and I thought my drink was done, but nope, it took another 7 minutes after they pulled out a cup. I almost didn't want the drink after the wait.
