    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.

    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

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere inside feels a bit old and dark, which gives it a casual, no-frills vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cozy no frills spot serves pretty good Taiwanese food and you'll be in and out pretty quick![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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.

    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.

    Pretty solid Taiwanese staples. Liked the Lou rou fan the most! Portion was pretty decent so you can share things.

    Our group of Taiwanese friends believes this is the best and most authentic Taiwanese restaurant in New York. We come here all the time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff here is kind, service is timely, and it's very much a homey atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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.

Not sure if it was pre-prepared or mixed to order, but it took them a bit before they were ready to pour it for me. I was warned that it was hot, but the cup was handed to me in a plastic bag with a straw. It was mildly sweet but of a slimy consistency. Not to my taste. The container was great though - no spillage!

    I've finally found my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in the east coast. This spot is the spot to try…read moreif you want real authentic Taiwanese food with extensive menu items. 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!

    It's a small mom and pop with friendly staff and authentic Taiwanese food. There are three tables,…read moretwo four-seaters and one two-seater. 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. Will be back to try different dishes.
