This place has been on my list of places to try for so long and I'm so glad I got to try it at last! We came on a weekend dinner and surprisingly there was a lot of people before 5:15pm and no one really afterwards. I really appreciate all the Taiwanese decorations in their restaurants and the circular tables which I haven't experienced in a bit. In general, their menu was pretty amazing as it had all the Taiwanese hits that one could want and I seriously couldn't choose! - Braised Pork Rice Lunchbox - Absolutely loved the vegetables in this dish, it really reminded me of the the railroad lunch boxes you get in the train station. I think the braised pork was okay as there wasn't a lot of meat and it was a bit heavy on the fat. - Taiwanese Chicken Cutlet - I was a bit confused on first look of this chicken because they had some rick crackers stuck to the outside of it. I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be but at least the flavors were spot on as it was ultimately crispy on the outside with a bit of spice and juicy on the inside. Probably the best dish of the night. - Pork Intestine Vermicelli - I've never had this dish before in the states so I was interested to see how this would turn out and it was actually a lot better than I thought. The flavors were pretty on point and the cleaned out the intestine well. I probably wouldn't order the lunchbox again, and although no dish extremely WOW-ed me, their breadth of Taiwanese dishes is pretty amazing and I will be back! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Our group of Taiwanese friends believes this is the best and most authentic Taiwanese restaurant in New York. We come here all the time. The staff here is kind, service is timely, and it's very much a homey atmosphere. They have nearly all the staple Taiwanese dishes. My favs are: (1) Smoked duck (must try this!) (2) Oyster omelette (蚵仔煎) - I prefer this to what is served in actual Taiwan night markets (3) Peanut/rice milk (米漿) - super authentic (4) Fly's head (minced pork with chives, etc) (5) House tofu dish (6) Golden Taiwanese kimchi - so far I haven't been able to find this anywhere else Enjoy! read more

This made me so happy! I've been searching for the best Taiwanese food in New York, and this is the best it can get. I've heard about it from many people, but I was actually impressed and really enjoyed my meal here. My friends and I went on a freezing Wednesday evening and you gotta go family style to try everything The Fly's Head 蒼蠅頭, 3 Cup Chicken 三杯雞, and the XO Cabbage XO 炒高麗菜 (Taiwanese cabbage hits diff cause it's naturally sweeter!) were amazing! Can't go wrong with classics like their Beef Noodle Soup 紅燒牛肉麵 or Braised Pork Over Rice 滷肉飯 either! The Dong Po Rou 東坡肉 was very juicy and they even asked if we wanted the chef to cut it up or do it ourselves (fun experience to do it yourself ;)). We also got the stinky tofu and it's perfectly fried and delicious, though I do wish it was stinkier The servers were super nice and gave great recommendations too! Heard they have traditional Taiwanese breakfast on the weekends. Can't wait to go back! read more

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! read more

Surprisingly pretty big interior. Cozy feeling since they've decorated for the holidays. People's food arrived around us and it smelled so good! We ordered the ba-man, oyster pancake, and cumin lamb. We've never had the ba-man before so this was interesting. It's a semi-clear potato dough with meat and mushroom filling and a sauce. The filling and sauce work really well and the dough has a nice bouncy texture. I believe the oyster pancake uses the same dough but it has eggs, oysters, and vegetables. IT was delicious! The oysters were so sweet and the vegetables gave the pancake an extra crunch. The sauce tastes a little like ketchup/tomato based with some spiciness and was so addicting. We asked for the cumin lamb to be less spicy because we can't handle our heat and it literally tastes like Xi'an famous food's cumin lamb burger which is one of our favorite things. Rice is separate but we were so full eating everything. I definitely would return to try other items! read more

Food is simply marvelous! I love the fried pork liver which impossibly tender and yet slightly crispy on them outside. Also the sesame oil pork kidney is soaked with wine and so tender and flavorful.

Decided to make our way to Flushing on Christmas Day cause we discovered in a prior year that Christmas Day in Flushing is just another day of the year. Pretty much everything is open, which is a big contrast from the burbs where pretty much everything is closed. Wife wanted to try out OK Ryan cause she had read online that their mutton hot pot was good and she always craves soup during cold winter days. Plus they serve Taiwanese cuisine & we were still looking for a replacement for our old standby in the area: Ku Shain (故鄉台菜). We arrived around 3pm and the waitress seemed a little hesitant to seat us cause she said they actually close for an hour between 3:30-4:30 to rest. After getting reassurance that they wouldn't kick us out at 3:30 we told them we'd just order quick and pay up front and they were perfectly fine with that. She also asked me to move our car cause they only have the 2 spots (#4 & 5) that are directly in front of the store. I was parked in a spot a few stores down which apparently is a no no. So if you do drive here be prepared to park elsewhere and walk or be very, very lucky. We wound up ordering 6 different dishes: Taiwanese sticky rice, braised pork rice w/egg, Taiwanese chicken cutlet, steamed stinky tofu, the aforementioned mutton hot pot, and taro in hot syrup. For the most part they were all pretty good. The chicken cutlet was interesting cause the breading looked like it was made of rice. Never seen anything like it before but quite good. Gave it a lighter, air-ier type crunch which was nice. The steamed stinky tofu was also interesting cause it looked & tasted like Cantonese style steamed fish w/ginger & spring onion but w/stinky tofu instead of fish. It wasn't really all that stinky but I love Cantonese steamed fish w/ginger & spring onion so I was happy w/it anyway. I think I'd probably go for the Taiwanese style deep-fried version next time though. The braised pork rice was good but honestly it's kinda hard (although not impossible) to mess up braised pork and typically I can eat that all day, every day. I thought the sticky rice was just ok but my wife liked it. Conversely, she wasn't all that impressed with the mutton hot pot but I wolfed that down w/gusto. They had this dipping sauce for the lamb that was really good. And to finish it all off, the taro in hot syrup was pretty good too. I usually don't like taro but I suppose if you lightly fry and then glaze anything in a coating of pure sugar it'll taste good. You'll want to eat this quick though (or have them bring it out towards the end of your meal) cause once it cools down & the syrup starts congealing all the individual taro pieces clump together. Oh, and we also got a smoked duck to go. After having it as part of lunch the next day, it was also really good. Now for the only negative that I can pick on: the prices. This is not a cheap place. Almost every main dish hovers around the $20 mark to start which I would expect from Chinese restaurants in the suburbs but in Flushing? I guess inflation? I mean the braised pork rice was $12.50. That's a lil' high to put it mildly. However, their weekday lunchboxes and lunch specials are more reasonably priced so I guess you could save money by sticking to those. But besides that, we'll very likely visit again. There's a lot more items on their menu that I'd really like to try. Service was quite good, the waitress was actually very nice and chatted with us about their long distance delivery services. True to their word they closed down at 3:30 and basically everyone came out to the dining area, ate a little something or browsed their phone, then turned off the lights and took a nap. By the time we left around 4 I had to go root around behind the curtain for takeout containers and then we let ourselves out. Everyone was asleep except one dude sitting in the window booth by the door scrolling on his phone. read more

This is my review from my visits on June 22 and 23. I visited here with my daughter Taiwanese breakfast. The food is very authentic, not overwhelmingly flavored and spiced, just the right amount for healthy food and ingredients. I returned for a lunch deal with 3 items and 1 deal the next day and very satisfied with their home cooking dishes. The staff is very friendly and kind. If you miss the good food and friendly people from Taiwan, this is a place to dine. I will definitely visit again when I visit NY next time. read more

I know to most of you this sounds like a terrible meal but Im getting hungry just thinking about this. read more

Loved absolutely everything we got: - sautéed stinky tofu 5/5: beware this is super stinky but you know what they say the more stinkier it is the tastier!! - 3 cup chicken 5/5: chicken so tender and flavorful - sizzling beef with black pepper 5/5: beef so tender and tasty - delight soup 5/5: meaty and tasty soup - xo vermicelli with eggplant: 5/5 ooomph this surprised me the most!! Love love the vermicelli- must get! - fish fillet with hot bean sauce 4/5: this was nothing special and would pass on this Only disappointment was that the portion size was also on the smaller end read more

Agh, I can't tell if I'm more critical of Taiwanese food because I've had a lot when I go to Taiwan, but I thought that the food was ok but nothing outstanding. I had this place bookmarked because they have stinky tofu, which is one dish that I sometimes miss that is harder to find in the US. The stinky tofu here was frankly a bit disappointing - it was drier than the ones I get in Taiwan. We also ordered the Dongpo Pork, which was good but I thought could have been much more tender and more flavorful. I think the pork was a bit too chewy for me to really like it, but it wasn't bad. The final dish we got - the salt and pepper pork chop - was very good. It was the perfect crispiness - not too fatty and greasy - and had a lot of meat on the bones. If I were to come back, I'd probably get the salt and pepper pork chop and try some other dishes. The service was nice though, and the ambiance is what you'd expect from a more casual spot. read more

A good place to check out if you're looking for authentic Taiwanese food. They have a big menu so you have plenty of options to choose from. I'm a big fan of their railroad lunchboxes which are delicious and reasonably priced (~$12). The spicy crispy chicken and salt & pepper chicken are my favorite ones. Besides the lunchboxes, I also recommend the beef noodle soup, intestine vermicelli noodles, three cup chicken, and pork belly buns. read more

I never knew where this restaurant was but I always seen it in this food delivery app that I use and bamn one day I was walking and just randomly saw this place and decided to try it. I think it was Lunar New Year week, because they advised I had to order in person and not over the phone. I ended up getting their Lu Ro Fan, which was good, but I didn't get to try anything else there because this place was just so chaotic. They had to-go order piled up on every table. They were only doing take out, no dine in options. read more

Visited on weekday for lunch. Pretty simple setup. Interior was very ordinary cuisine. I was recommended that this was authentic Taiwanese food and I loved it! I had tofu and 3 spice chicken. They were very delicious Tofu-good texture. Nice and firm. They soaked the flavor really well. Very tasty. I recommend all tofu dishes. 3 spice chicken. Good flavoring. Not too greasy. I thought this was a little salty but my friend think it's okay. Spices are definetly well defined! Very unique flavoring Service was great. All the staffs were eager to help. It's easy to find parking in the area but on the peak time it might be hard to find a parking. Overall, really recommended! read more

I was craving some oyster pancake and so I looked around and this was the only place that was open at 8am on a Sunday. I decided to give it a try and showed up right when they opened and was the only one there. The service was great. The servers explained everything and was able to get what I wanted. Out of the dishes I had, I like the stinky tofu the best. At first you wouldn't even know the restaurant serves stinky tofu when you walk in, but right as you eat the first bite, the smell comes out and it was delicious. I got my oyster pancake fix from here, but I guess it will have to do for a Sunday morning breakfast. read more

Casual comfort food that's really good, definitely more of a local spot! Written in order of favorites :) Smoked Duck: I love duck so unsurprisingly this was delicious to me. The smokiness is forreal, very fragrant and you can definitely taste it with each bite. Infused! The duck isn't too fatty like you'd normally get as a roast duck, the pieces meaty and very tender. Pumpkin Egg Tofu Veggie Casserole: normally I'm not too into pumpkin dishes but this was another gem! The soupy part is soo good I found myself spooning into my mouth long after everything else had been eaten. The tofu is super soft and just overall, very comforting and flavorful. 10/10 coming back for this alone String Beans & Tofu, Eggplant Garlic Sauce: their veggie dishes are so good! Particularly loved the tofu in this but the string beans are also cooked perfectly Curry Chicken: tasted like Malaysian chicken curry, very good spice and not extremely oily Dan Dan Noodles: going to have to skip this one. The peanut sauce is pretty lacking, and there's more of a black bean taste than spice Stinky Tofu: pungent and crispy, but not as good as the ones I've had in Taiwan/China Oyster Omelet: hard pass for this as I don't remember oyster omelets tasting like this. Slimy and too goop read more

It was a really hot day and it was really stuffy inside the restaurant. The fan really didn't cut it. They need to turn on the air conditioner or open the door. I was dripping in sweat by the time I was done with my beef noodle soup. The beef noodle soup was pretty disappointing. The soup had no flavor but meat tasted pretty good, which is odd since the meat is cooked in the soup. The noodles were also well cooked but the addition of the pieces of carrots and cabbage were not necessary and weird. I asked for extra extra sour mustard and made the soup edible. The last resort would've been to add soy sauce. The others ordered vegetarian dishes, which I tasted and thought we're OK. The stinky tofu was definitely not stinky enough. However, the staff was extremely friendly, even though they were extremely busy with all the takeout orders. They even brought separate, dipping sauces, one vegetarian, the other not for the stinky tofu. The whole thing was weird, since this is a sister store to OK Canaan, when I had the beef noodle soup over there, the soup had great flavor, but the beef was crappy, and the noodles were overcooked. And the stinky tofu over there was pretty stinky. It's almost like everything is opposite. Would I go there again? Maybe. I brought my sister a pork chop over rice to go and she said it was delicious. So if I'm ever craving that, I might try it. However, I ordered a Kung pao chicken lunch for my husband, and the portion was so small and there were so much fillers such as red and green bell peppers and it wasn't spicy at all. read more

I love good old Taiwanese breakfast on the weekends. It's totally worth getting up early for. It ends early at 11am, so don't oversleep. My favorites are the vegetarian panda fantuan, salty soybean milk, sweet soybean milk and radish pastry. It's so good. My mom said they have the best fantuan in Flushing. They also have shao bing (toasted sesame flat bread) and Dan bing (egg pancake) options for breakfast but I get the panda fantuan which is very filling. It's half purple and white rice with a fried cruller, stewed egg, and pickled radishes. I also like their oyster pancake and stinky tofu. I would like to try more dishes but usually go for the Taiwanese favorites since that's what I crave. read more

Me and my friends ordered spicy beef, spicy pork belly with green peppers, double cooked pork and a few side dishes. First - double cooked pork is something that everyone must try!
