We tried the Three Cup Chicken, Taiwanese Liver, and Stinky Tofu, and I enjoyed all three dishes. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. There were a couple of things that could use some attention. The bathroom felt quite dated and could definitely benefit from a makeover. Also, while I was eating, one of the workers was trying to kill a fly in the dining area. I understand that flies happen, especially in restaurants, but dealing with it right next to customers while they are eating was a little off-putting. Those issues aside, the food was the highlight and the overall experience was good. With a few improvements to the dining environment, this could be an even better experience.

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!

Sausage fried rice was flavorful but it had so many onions and very minimal sausage so be prepared for your breath to kick. Scallion oil noodle was bland and a bit soupy on the bottom of the bowl, would pass on this. The eggs can be passed on as well, for 4 halves for $4 as a combo with a braised tofu skin that was $5 and had a nice flavor. Service was quick.

It was getting late and this place was convenient and open and had seemed to have good ratings on Google. So we had to try it out. It was a cold date. There was no one in the restaurant, but the staff was very friendly and it felt like a private event just for ourselves. We got a traditional Taiwanese appetizer and some spicy sautéed fish in a sizzling beef and pepper platter. All we're good, especially the fish definitely worth trying. There are other authentic Taiwanese style food that wants to say for next time.

Don't sleep on the "Japanese" flavor onigiri with crab and seaweed salad! One of the best flavor combos I've ever had! Period! The fried shrimp onigiri however, was lacking. I was upset to see they leave the tail on when they put it in the rice ball. Had to mess it up trying to dig the tail pieces out. My advice is for them to remove the tails and include two shrimp. If I lived near here I'd be in danger of stopping by every day. I'll return for more when I'm back in Rego Park!

I've now lost count of how many times I've visited Nom Tea! Most of the time, the food and service is good, but occasionally the food comes out too salty. It's not super consistent on the food side, but the drinks have always been wonderful. The only drink I wasn't a fan of was the ube cake cream latte since I think they used powder (it felt powdery and didn't taste like real ube).

Good over rice deals, slightly lower price during their lunch hours. Tried a few, some hits and misses for us. Some picks which we liked are pork with bamboo shoots, beef with bittermelon, fried fish fillets, salty fish and chicken fried rice. Pork with scallion chilli was good, at less spicy level for me. Beef chow fun was ok. Three cup chicken wasn't for me, plain with slightly gingery flavor, need to have basil with each bite, small bone pieces (be careful); and Beef stew meat wasn't tender, tough and chewy. Have been here for larger family get togethers and enjoyed the food then as well.

Big plus: they're open late until 11 pm, which is always appreciated. They have a solid list of over-rice combos, all reasonably priced around $11-$12, with generous portions. I ordered the beef with bitter melon over rice, and this alone guarantees I'll be back. It's the first time I've seen this combo offered anywhere, and it was surprisingly delicious, even with the natural bitterness of the bitter melon. My husband ordered the beef with bamboo shoots over rice, and that was tasty as well. Everything came out flavorful and satisfying. Service was another highlight -- the wait staff was quick to refill our hot tea, and the place was clean and well-kept, even though we came close to closing time. Also glad to see that they accept cards though there is a $20 minimum. We also ordered the stinky tofu. While I wasn't used to the sauce they used (it had soy sauce and capers, which was a bit different from what I'm accustomed to), it didn't take away from how yummy the tofu itself was. Overall, this was a great late-night find, and I'll definitely be coming back to try more items on their menu. Glad we finally stopped in!

It helps that we speak the language that we got a little more comedic interaction with him! He was a hoot and was helpful in providing us advice on the # of dishes and what to get. I'd say everything is authentic to the Shanghainese cuisine so I'm a little biased that I loved every dish! A fish dish was suggested but we opted for our usual favorites: Scallion Pancake -made fresh as you can tell from the crunch Soup dumplings - super fresh, delicious inside, plenty of soup, perfect ratio of skin to meat Chow Fun - classic, look at the heaping amount of beef portioned on top!! Beef pepper steak - chunks were very tender and full of flavor Pork buns - a lovely crunch on the bottom of the bun, soft bread and tons of flavor Shrimp with broccoli - large pieces of shrimp (I didn't try it so I'm not sure on the taste)

Then the server Bill, started acting like a used car salesman. He said he would give us a sake cause it was his birthday, but didn't tell us we were going to get charged for it. Also before my brother got there, he said that since it was his birthday, he would bring out a "banana boat" which was just 5 scoops of ice cream and some cut up banana. When we got the bill he not only charged us for both, but that banana boat was $30! When we asked about it, he argued with us saying that he didn't tell us the price of every single thing that we bought... very rude. We also tried to order two orders of regular soup dumplings and two orders of the truffle. He kept rushing our order, and then tried to change our order to four orders of the truffle. We weren't sure if we would like it yet, and kept pushing back but he wouldn't take no for an answer (that being said the truffle was good, but I'm definitely a purist and preferred the regular soup dumplings). We also ordered the kau fu but it was not good, and tasted too much of five spice. The cha cha mien was fine, but a bit small and a little bland. The rice cakes were good, but the rice cakes were not al dente enough for me. We also got the fried rice, which was fine, but nothing to write home about. Finally we got a fried tofu dish which was good and had a lot of tofu in it. Overall, this server ruined our experience. The food is fine, but there are other Shanghainese restaurants in the area and would visit those over this place.

The counter person was not the owner (I think maybe he was the son) -- very helpful and patient answering all the questions posed by my friends. I forgot to take photos of the food. Too busy chatting and catching up with the girls.

Absolute perfection and made to order, so sip on some hot milk tea out of a beautiful teapot and nom on a perfectly moist scone while you wait 20 minutes for what could be the best dessert of your life. The desserts here are the epitome of "not too sweet" asian treats in the best way possible. I didn't even know I liked scones until I came here, and then I was inspired to bake some of my own (which fell short of the ones here, but of course). Despite it always being crowded, somehow I have always gotten a seat when dining in with no wait. And the customers just keep coming, and the vibe only gets better. The interior is just too cute, and each location has a unique "look" to it but they all scream tea house. Service is nothing short of excellent. Although the menu is on a QR code, it's easy to get the attention of a waitstaff to place your order, and the food and drinks come out quickly. This is a great place to take a date, a friend, a family member, heck - even a place to introduce them to each other.
