Hidden gem; 10/10 would recommend! They close from 3:30-4:30 so everyone can get a lunch break so make sure you don't go then. Food is very flavorful and service is A1 Prices on menu are not updated so it is $1-$2 difference. Ordered three cup chicken, stinky tofu, garlic watercress and beef, flys head and clam chicken soup read more

OK Ryan is a simple restaurant with no bells and whistles but the food is phenomenal. The three cup chicken hit the spot after so many months in quarantine. The beef noodle soup is super good as well, I would highly recommend. The stinky tofu is definitely stinky but one of my favorites at this place. When we arrived, it looked boarded up but they were actually open for indoor dining. I highly recommend the black sesame pancake and order in advance because they make it fresh so you may have to wait 15 minutes. (It's worth the wait) read more

The food and service here are top notch. All of their Taiwanese dishes are really excellent. Went here two weekends in a row.

Great food, nice staff, but the establishment itself could be presented better. Parking was not good. They check your ID if you use credit card which I thought was bizarre. read more

Our friends highly recommended us to try their braised fried tofu so we decided to give them another chance. We made a dinner pick up on a Saturday at 5:30 pm and they had our order of total 5 dishes prepared on time. Their lunch & dinner menu was decent and much better than their breakfast. My favorite was one of their signature dishes, smoked duck. The meat was flavorful and tender with great portion. We felt really satisfied this time and might visit again. read more

Authentic Taiwanese food. I ordered the Taiwanese stinky tofu, soy milk, the braised pork over rice and the pickled cabbage duck blood soup. My favorite was the braised pork over rice. It was super yummy and the tea egg is just how my mom makes it. The stinky tofu was stinky haha but it was really good with the sauce. The pickled cabbage soup was also pretty good but it wasn't my favorite. Probably because I don't particularly enjoy duck blood. Finally, of course the soy milk is solid. The price came out to be about $40 total. The soup portion was huge. It was probably meant to be shared between 3 people. The stinky tofu was also shareable but the pork over rice seemed like an individual dish. Service was pretty good, especially when people started pouring in around 6:30. Would come here again if I'm ever in the area read more

This was my first time trying stinky tofu and an oyster omelette. I was told that the stinky tofu here is mild. It seemed stinky enough but not overpowering. I really liked the crunchy outer texture. The oyster omelette was challenging to cut but I enjoyed the mix of flavors and textures. I also got a coconut milk-based drink with tapioca, custard and bluish jelly. I don't normally drink sweet drinks but I really liked this a lot. It was basically a dessert. read more

Came by on a Saturday morning to get my Taiwanese breakfast fix! There's such a shortage of Taiwanese spots in NYC, and OK Ryan serves up some truly authentic, no frills, Taiwanese fare. Ordered the dan bing (egg crepe roll), black rice fan tuan (rice roll with fried dough stick, pickled vegetables, and pork floss), radish pastries, and hot soy milk. Everything was super fresh, and I especially liked the fan tuan-- served warm and the dough stick was still hot and crispy. The place is run by a Taiwanese bunch that remind me of my aunties and uncles in Taipei! Will definitely be making the "trek" from Manhattan more often. PS- they only serve breakfast on the weekends from 8-11am; run don't walk! read more

I have been going to Taiwan every year since I was 2 years old. Due to the current situation, I definitely won't be traveling anytime soon. Taiwanese breakfast culture is a big deal. They take breakfast seriously there. If you haven't had a Taiwanese breakfast experience, you are definitely missing out on some yummy goodness. Not sure why Taiwanese breakfast isn't a thing here in NY, but even finding a Taiwanese owned & operated restaurant is very rare these days. I definitely was having withdrawals on all foods Taiwanese so when I heard from a colleague that Ok Ryan served Taiwanese breakfast, I knew I had to make a trip out there. They only serve their breakfast menu on weekends, and from 9am - 11am. If you go any other day or time, you are outta luck! If I'm going on a food adventure I like to be prepared and do some research ahead of time. Lol b/c gas is expensive and I'm not driving somewhere only to be disappointed. I actually made my mother call the day before to 1) verify that the breakfast menu is available on Saturdays 2) see if they really are Taiwanese 3) if they could make modifications to the rice rolls/fan tuan (vegetarian friendly). It was "YES" all across the board. The woman (who was very warm and friendly) advised us to call in our order early, before 9am. She said we could pick it up anytime, even past 11am. She said they get swamped from 9am and on so they might not even be able to answer the phone to take orders. We asked about the parking situation (which is horrendous in Flushing) and was told they have 3 parking spaces out front, but if those are occupied, we can park on the side of the street and call them for curbside pickup. I went to pickup my order at around 11:30am on a Saturday, the parking spaces were all empty. They are located on College Point Blvd, close to Sky View, in a strip mall, next to Dunkin. The interior was definitely a no frills type of place. The staff was very polite and hospitable, they were definitely Taiwanese. I did make a mistake and not check my bag to make sure everything was inside tho. They forgot one of the things I was definitely craving for, shaobing you tiao/ flakey sesame bread with fried cruller sandwich. My order came out to a little over $60. I think if you want the ideal experience, definitely try to eat in the restaurant so it's fresh and hot. My favorite was definitely the rice rolls. I suggest getting the Panda Rice roll, it's pretty unique and aesthetic looking with 1/2 white and 1/2 purple rice. I never seen that in Taiwan be4. They typically come with pork floss but I opted for a vegetarian version. The dan bing with cheese / egg crepe with cheese was good too. The egg crepe with the fried cruller was soggy, def didn't travel well. I feel like the pricing was a bit high, I wasn't expecting Taiwan prices but $6.50 for a rice roll or $6.75 for 2 puff pastries is a bit expensive. In regards to the missing item, when we called, the woman who answered was very apologetic and asked if we would like to come back to pick it up. When we said we live out on Long Island, she said to keep our receipt and took down our name & phone number for a store credit. I was leaning towards 3 stars but due to how nice they were, I didn't have the heart LOL so make sure you check your order before you leave!!! I definitely would come again (not only to redeem my credit) and I do want to try their regular menu as well. read more

Hole in the wall Taiwanese place! My bf and I came here in search of a sit down Taiwanese breakfast which is quite hard to find in NYC. OK Ryan really satisfied the craving and then some!! We dined in, and while there were a few other tables, their takeout side was insane - so many orders! We had the fan Tuan, egg with scallion pancake, clay oven bread with beef and pickles, and their radish cake. The fan tuan is small but the price reflects that - inside is filled with you tiao, pickles, and pork floss that was so good! I wish there was an option to add an egg. Their radish cake and scallion pancake were also both delicious! The beef clay oven bread sandwich was just okay for us - probably would skip this next time to try something else. Don't forget their hot soymilk - perfect to round everything off!! Overall, this place is a few min walk from downtown flushing, and is a delicious place for a weekend Taiwanese breakfast. Will definitely be back. read more

I haven't had Taiwanese food in awhile. Definitely a treat, after a day at the US Open. Service was quick and the food was fantastic! The cabbage stew and Fly's Head were spot on. Definitely coming back. read more

This was my first visit to OK Ryan. It was a Sunday at 11:30am. I ordered the Taiwanese style lo mein. Staff was amazingly pleasant. I enjoyed my meal while listening to slow pop music and watching traffic outside the window. My meal was amazing as I worked on my rarely used chopstick skills although I was offered a fork. I did have a bit of a wait just to pay so I could leave but otherwise everything was just about perfect. read more

I have finally found my favorite TW place to eat in NY. I even would say it's as good as Irvine, CA places. We went for lunch and got a few items from their lunch menu which come with a soup and a bowl of rice and a few other dishes from their regular menu. Service was intermittently slow which was irritating only Bc we got some dishes but the woman promised she would bring the rice 2x and was just too busy (and I wanted / NEEDED to have my rice with my food). The soup was so good!! I would say everything was delicious and portions were proportional to the prices. The quality of the food was amazing and nothing was overly salted (they don't use MSG here thank god) and there was just the right amount of oil on EACH dish. I can't get over how legit each of these dishes tasted to TW food back in the motherland!! Their hot chili oil (is made in house) but you have to ask for it. I have been coming here regularly a few times a month for over a year and I am never disappointed. They also take credit cards which is a plus. There are 2 parking spots (4 & 5) which I think you need to get a card / paper to place on your windshield since I heard her asking every customer who came in. IMPORTANT: DO NOT park in the Home Depot parking lot and leave the premises to come here or anywhere. There are people who watch the lot like hawks and will tow you. We came back from a quick lunch and lost our whole afternoon waiting for the truck to come back to us ($125+tax and its cash only). Lots of other people also were towed lol so that made me feel better. Be careful and park on College Point instead. read more

I haven't tried their dinner food yet, but they serve Taiwanese breakfast, which is even better imo! The Taiwanese breakfast is only available Sat and Sun from 8am-11am. They support contactless payment and you just pick up from the door, since they barred the entrance into the restaurant.. My favorite things to get: * Pork floss dan bing (肉鬆蛋餅) - The dan bing part is thick, but still comforting and very filling. This is my go-to breakfast item to get here. They have other flavors like corn, ham + egg, cheese, and youtiao. If you get the corn one, they'll add extra egg in it to hold the corn. * Shao bing w/ ham and egg (燒餅夾火腿蛋) - This is so much better than a breakfast sandwich. The shaobing is really crispy. * Shao bing w/ youtiao (燒餅夾油條) - For the carb on carb lovers. * Purple rice fan tuan (紫米飯糰) * Black same layer bread (芝麻千層餅) - This was flaky outside, QQ on the inside, and not too sweet. Surprisingly good. Breakfast isn't complete without soy milk! I usually get the hot soy milk with no sugar, which comes in a soup container. If you get the iced one, it'll come up in a cup with a straw. They also recently started making homemade mochi! The black sesame filling for the mochi isn't too sweet and the mochi itself is very soft and QQ. read more

The food was ok but they use rice and gristle to amp up portion sizes. Nice staff but absent minded until tip time. Regular menu prices out of this world so I had the bento box read more

I love beef stew with tendon and it's also my father's favorite dish so I had to try it here. It's pretty good. Not too salty but good flavor. The beef is tender. The tendon is so soft, you barely have to chew. The daikon is cut really small so it wasn't too flavorful but overall I really liked the food. I put a lil more spices when I make it at home but either way it's delicious. Really hearty on a cold night. Doesn't come with rice. For a Taiwanese restaurant they still have a lot of Cantonese dishes which is great so I'll try some of their other dishes next time. read more

The food here are AMAZING. It's soo authentic Taiwanese food. I love the chicken leg and rice it was so good. The service here are also excellent.

We ordered 5 dishes off of their Chinese New Year menu and 4 out of the 5 dishes failed miserably in both taste and portion given the exorbitant pricing (approx $240, Inc tax and tip for delivery). Also, all dishes arrived cold. The lobster fried noodle was $72 (before tax and tip) and had only one lobster and the noodles were bland. Each guest was left very disappointed. Given that the turnip cake with XO sauce was roughly $30, we expected a much larger portion, the taste was decent. read more

This place is a true hidden gem especially for Taiwanese food! A couple blocks away from Main Street and not too far away from Skyview Mall, this place is tucked away in a cluster of random shops. There are a limited number of parking spots in front, but those go quickly! Dishes Ordered: (Golden Double Egg Fried Rice) Great fried rice, wonderful combination of flavors! (Salty Crispy Shrimp) Cooked nicely! Not overly fried nor oily! Very crispy texture! (Salt & Pepper Pork Chop) That was my favorite dish we ordered that day! Nice salty flavor, very crispy and not soaked in oil! (Paratha with Curry Chicken) This was a disappointment. The paratha was a measly one piece that felt like the kind you got from the frozen aisle. Very flat, not crispy and kinda soggy like. (Grass Jelly and other fun drinks) They have a variety of Taiwanese carbonated drinks (Hey Song Sarsparilla and Apple Sidra) and also grass jelly etc... The owner/waitress is also always super friendly and willing to answer whatever questions you may have! read more

Such a low-key hidden gem!! We came here with about 8 folks and were able to order a ton of dishes... and EVERY. SINGLE. DISH. SLAPPED!!!! All of us left groaning because we all ate too much lol. read more

Should I? Dare I say it? Oh man...Fine I'll give it a go. Ok Ryan is the best Taiwanese joint in the NY area. Ok whew, I did it. lol. All kidding aside, OK Ryan's dishes and flavors are as good as any Taiwanese place out there if not better. There are deep rich flavors and a nolstagic Taiwanese cooking sense here not present at all others. Why I haven't written a review on one of my favorite places, I don't know. Maybe I just wanted to keep the secret to myself. #greedy lol. but I've had OK Ryan too many times to count. They have so many amazing dishes it's really what you're in the mood for and what you prefer. Some of the ones that stand out that I love include stinky tofu, green onion pancake, oyster omelette, tofu and seafood clay casserole, 3Cup chicken, Sauteed string bean with dry tofu, pig intestine vermicelli soup and my personal favorite the house special pork chop. It's sticky, sweet and savory and the taste has this rich molasses goodness I love! If you are in the mood for Taiwanese food, look no further. I dont think you'll be disappointed. Currently they are only doing delivery or pickup during the pandemic times. read more

Step over mama lee. I'm kind of tired of you opening when you want and raising prices to absurd levels. Enter Ok Ryan. Basically the same Taiwanese concept. I got the three cup chicken, the house special spare ribs and the fish filet with mixed vegetables. Also three were awesome and i'd reorder in a heartbeat. They have a family special which comes out to like 33 dollars but it's so worth it. They're not too far into flushing where it's crazy either so I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer here. read more

This place is fairly unique and offers good variety alongside the northern Chinese restaurants you'll find in Flushing. Staff are super friendly and really go out of their way to introduce you to their menu and other catering services. They serve really good breakfast as well. Will definitely be coming back here in the future. read more

Fantastic Taiwanese fare that's well worth the Odyssean journey to Flushing (or you could pay three times as much to eat inferior versions in East Village....blech!). The Stinky Tofu is all the fermented pungency that your grandma used to fill up the house with on Saturday afternoons (or maybe just my grandma). The String Bean with Bean Curd, Salt & Pepper Shrimp and Ma-Po Spicy Tofu were all on point in their various concoctions. Service was decent, but it helps to speak Mando with the right accent. ;) read more

There is an understaffed issue. I live nearby and been to this restaurant for about 20+ times and things just got a little worse. Every visit the waiting time is longer and longer and it will take 30-40 minutes to get your food. Another thing is they will tell you price of the dishes will be higher than what's shown on their menu, without telling you the actual price so don't be surprised if you see your price included some hidden fees. read more

We randomly found this place on a weekend. It's owned by Taiwanese. The food was quite good: Pork chop noodle: they placed too many random vegetables in the noodle. They had everything from carrot, to white mushroom. I would have just prefer it to come with chinese green vegetables. They did a good job on the pork chop. Braised pork rice: very good. It's pretty close to the ones in Taiwan. read more

Service: Take-out Quantity: Good Cleanliness: Fair Food: Lunch box $8.25 Taiwanese style cooking, I went for a take-out today. They offered daily special which they usually display four to five veg or meats in chafing dishes. I picked four items for my bento box today. I picked spicy chicken, fried fish, beans sprouts and double cooked pork belly. Nice flavor overall, but I did get real thirsty after the meal. I ate in the restaurant once, however the quantity was a bit small and pricey compared to restaurants in the area. I'd preferred take-out instead. A quick lunch spot /take-out for you to enjoy Taiwanese style cooking. read more

Located in College Point Blvd near some construction type supply stores. The area had an industrial feel to it. Across the street there are residential buildings. This restaurant could be on diners drive ins and dives. The decor had a divey look to it. Taiwanese restaurant. The service was good. The food was excellent. We ordered four dishes. Black pepper sauce beef was tasty. The meat was tender and the sauce was fantastic. We ordered the salt and pepper pork chops and we were dipping the pork in the black pepper sauce. The pork chops had some meat on the bone. Some places the pork chops have a lot of fat with the meat. Next we ordered the Dan dan noodles which was yummy. The beef pad Thai was average. I shouldn't order a Thai dish at a Taiwanese restaurant. If I am in the area I will come back. read more

Ok Ryan Restaurant has implemented clear shields on tables and increased prices on their menu. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful. I ordered the 4 herbal rib soup and pork chop lunch box, but the photo on the menu did not match the actual dish. While the pork chop lunch box was good, I would not recommend the soup. The restaurant has a variety of options, including a scoop food option for lunch. They do not offer apple pay and have parking available in the front. The atmosphere is quiet and there is no music played in the restaurant. The restaurant also has a restroom available. read more

You wouldn't have notice this restaurant because it's not located on the busy streets of Main Street flushing. My mum recommended this place as she's been to the other branch (different name same owner) and we are near the mall. The interior is clean and comfortable and brings you OG authentic Taiwanese food! We ordered a couple of dishes and oh wowwwwww- it's amazing! We got the three cup chicken, fly's head (Chinese chives with pork), and steam fish filet with tofu dish. They even have house made plum drink that is so made fresh daily and so delicious to go with food! The price is also very decent and I will highly recommend this place. You can also choose to pick up (we notice many people did). The service is nice and friendly. With the current situation, Just want to ask folks to be considerate to the staff! Although they look empty, but they are busy with phone orders and such so the kitchen is busy even if the place doesn't look busy! We still got our food relatively fast ! read more

I've had this place bookmarked for quite some time. We ended up selecting this place by chance, while looking for places to eat. I shared the salt and pepper chicken and ordered a white rice. At first I was worried that this would be like popcorn chicken and that it would be too dry to eat on its own with just white rice. Surprisingly any additional sauce wasn't necessary. It was pretty good just on its own. Full disclosure - We asked the waiter if the dish was supposed to come with sauce and was told that people normally eat it without sauce in Taiwan. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and spiced nicely. One dish is definitely enough for two people to share. The texture is different. Its not like fried chicken or popcorn chicken, it was more like battered chicken with salt and pepper spices. read more

I thought Flushing, NY would have more Taiwanese establishments, but it's especially even more rare find one for breakfast! I enjoyed the breakfast, but there wasn't one dished that I thought was the stand out! They were all just ok or slightly above average. I did enjoy the texture of their dan bing (egg rolls), but they were surprisingly plain with the added fixtures. The same with the fan tuan (rice rolls), but they were also a little salty. The other dishes like oyster pancake was good, but i feel like its hard to mess any oyster pancake up. If I had to pick the one that was the best-made tasting out of all the dishes, it would probably be the bawan. Until there is more Taiwanese breakfast establishments, I guess beggars can't be choosers... read more

OK Ryan serves up cheap, hearty Taiwanese fare. It's a family favorite if we're in the area but man the parking situation really takes away from the experience. It's located on a busy stretch of College Pt Bvld and there's essentially two parking spaces available in front of the restaurant. A parking pass for 45 min is required for the coveted spaces and if you park anywhere else besides the street, you risk getting your car towed. Luckily, public parking at the nearby Skyview Mall is available for a rate. Some favorite dishes include salt and pepper pork and three cup chicken, both of which are generously portioned and so deliciously crispy. I've heard great things about their breakfast menu so a morning trek may be imminent. read more
