Crispy Brussels
V F.

Every dish is amazing. Truly a gem of a place to go for a great meal. Space is limited,, but that doesn't take away from the great food. Everyone is super nice, and I cannot say enough how great the flavors of the different dishes are!

Taiwanese Fried Chicken Bagel with Basil Aioli
Ruby C.

Tiam Tiam is a casual Taiwanese spot offering a Saturday brunch menu where you literally can't go wrong with any choice. I'd even say it's worth the trek to Harrison for their food. They're always rolling out special items and you can truly taste the heart and soul in everything they make. A very homey and welcoming neighborhood gem. *Taiwanese Fried Chicken Bagel $10 *** If you love basil, you'll be happy to know they use fresh basil to make the spread. I happily devoured it and immediately craved more. Unfortunately it's a limited item, so be sure to check their ig stories or dm them to find out the next available date. *Prosciutto Youtiao Sandwich $15 * Crispy youtiao with prosciutto, burrata and pineapple jam. This unexpected combo actually works so well! *Taro French Toast with Boba $16.5 ** If this is your first time here, ORDER THE FRENCH TOAST. I literally get it every time--the milk tea French toast is perfectly brûléed and topped with taro paste, boba, whipped cream, and salted egg yolk bits. All my favorites in one bite. *Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly $16 * Fatty and full of gelatin, giving that sticky-lips feeling after eating it. I love that their lu rou fan comes with a soft-boiled ramen egg instead of a hard boiled one, and the pickled mustard greens on the side are my favorite part. *Taiwanese Milk Crumb Toast $5 New item! We tried this test version of 奶酥吐司, and it was lowkey addictive. The bread pulled apart just like shokupan. So soft and fluffy.

Food 3/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambience 3/5 Value 4/5 I really wanted to love Tiam Tiam because the presentation is pretty good, but the execution was a bit inconsistent. On the plus side, the hospitality is top-notch; we loved the complimentary Taiwanese kimchi and dessert, and the portion sizes are generous Pork Belly over Rice (4.25/5): The standout! It was packed with flavor, though on the oily side Soft Shell Crab (3.5/5): The crab was well-prepared, but the avocado pairing muted the flavor, making it a bit bland Taiwanese Fried Chicken over Rice (3/5): This was surprisingly sweet for a savory entree, which others may like that Century Old Egg Tofu (2/5): A miss for me, it was served cold and the sauce pairing didn't really work Great service and a lovely vibe overall

Taiwanese popcorn chicken

Visited on a Sunday around 1pm and it was plenty busy with people dining in and a steady flow of pick up/to go. We initially were going to take it to go, but I received the Oyster fried noodle first and it looked like it would be best enjoyed fresh out the kitchen. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken came soon after along with our Dalgona coffee. The oyster noodle was very tasty and savory. The noodles were soft and soaked in the gravy. On top laid nicely fried oysters which came in abundance. If you like oysters, this is for you. Taiwanese popcorn chicken was delicious, perfectly fried. Just wish it came with a nicely Thai basil like some other spots do but still this was really tasty. Dalgona coffee was actually our favorite thing we got here. Really good tasting blend of coffee and milk. Would get this often if I was in the area. Really great spot and very nice, welcoming service here. They interacted with our little one year old, which was sweet. Will be back again!

Taiwanese fried oyster noodle
Huiwen C.

This place is worth all the hype! All the dishes and drinks we tried were delicious! I would recommend 3 dishes for 2 people as some of the dishes are a bit small. The fried oyster noodles were full of umami, but somehow light at the same time. The fried chicken and waffles use glutinous flour so it had a mochi texture that was so satisfying to eat. The crab sandwich was super crunchy and had two soft shell crabs inside. Don't miss out on the drinks - highly recommend the hojicha milk tea! Expect a wait around 20-30 minutes on the weekends.

Taiwanese Popcorn Fried Chicken
Brina T.

Ordered some Taiwanese takeout along with a softshell crab onigiri, and overall it was a mixed experience. The pork chop was really good--crispy, flavorful, and filling. Popcorn chicken was also a win, crunchy and seasoned just right. The softshell crab onigiri, on the other hand, was just fine--nothing special and not something I'd go out of my way to order again. Big letdown was the milk tea. It didn't taste great and came with no bubbles at all, which was disappointing. Overall, the food side is worth trying (especially the pork chop and popcorn chicken), but I'd skip the drinks and the onigiri.

Spicy tuna onigiri with plastic wrapping to keep seaweed crisp
Alex S.

What drew me is was how cozy this little Taiwanese restaurant was. Inside there were was a small station for cold water, hot tea, napkins and utensils. I don't usually get nento boxes, but i decided to get the charred miso salmon Bento. I was especially impressed with the acidic pop of the tomatoes and the delicate flavor of the miso salmon. The spicy tuna onigiri was nice because it was wrapped in plastic so that the seaweed would remain crisp.

I thought eating bhindi with a tsongyobing at home was the peak of Taiwanese-Indian fusion, but I've been outdone by this whimsical Taiwanese eatery located on an unlikely corner of Harrison. Their five spice paneer bento box is outstanding. And don't forget the surprisingly delicious mashed potatoes that come on the side. Or the very spicy la-yau on the table that takes everything to the next level. I was a bit too full for the onigiri by the time it came out, but it had a very generous portion of ume, and the few bites I had were excellent.

In the battle of the fried chicken I don't think Taiwanese chicken gets the recognition it deserves it really holds its own next to Korean fried chicken (undoubtedly the more popular in the US). I really do like the umami of the soy garlic sauce of Korean wings and I appreciate that flake off crunch you only get from the potato starch and double frying but these Taiwanese popcorn chicken are tender and delicious never greasy and bite sized. Taiwanese popcorn chicken is boneless and uses thigh meat whereas Korean chicken uses wings and chicken and both white and dark Meat. Overall Taiwanese holds its own on boba shops and night markets but I'd love to see it more widespread . Tiam Tiam is a Taiwanese restaurant in Harrison, NJ specializing in comfort Taiwanese fusion food. They don't pretend to be 100% authentic nor 100% fusion, it just reallu good food with a side of food coma. The space is modest but the chicken is 10/10. You really can't beat the value here. For $8.50 I got this stuffed takeout container of fried chicken.. I opted for the appetizer (which really is entree sized!) which I had for dinner with homemade jasmine rice but they also offer a popcorn chicken platter which comes with mashed potato or corn. I really love the slightly sweet cinnamon notes with the salt and peppery taste. It's unique from any fried chicken you've ever had. One of the crispiest and not dry at all despite not being sauced (it comes with a sweet spicy mayo on the side). This was a delicious meal and definitely worth the drive. I can't wait to come back! Also curious about their Sunday brunch menu.

Beef Fried rice with Broccoli
Kia L.

I enjoyed trying this place! I came to try the awesome brunch menu, but was bummed & disappointed to discover brunch is only on Sundays! I ordered the recommended items: Brussel Sprouts and the Beef Broccoli fried rice. The Brussels were delicious, heavily season and tangy! I really did not like the fried rice at all. It was way too sticky and wet. I would not recommend that to anyone. With that said the portions are huge! The prices are kinda steep for a hole in the wall so it makes sense that portions are large. I would recommend getting 1-2 dishes for At least 2-3 people.

A cozy little Taiwanese joint in Harrison, NJ. I ordered the salt & pepper chicken bento -- the fried chicken was super crispy and juicy, and the portion was bigger than expected. What really stood out was their homemade chili oil -- rich, fragrant, and perfectly spicy. The side dishes were thoughtful and balanced, not just fillers. Great vibes, warm service, and a menu full of familiar flavors. I'll be back.

A thousand years ago, when I was a wee lass, I spent a summer living in Harrison. It wasn't a fun summer or a fun town--we lived in an area where it wasn't safe to be out after 8pm. I don't have good memories of that time and haven't been back to Harrison since... ...Until Tiam Tiam came up on a list of good eats, and our curiosity grew stronger than our dislike of commuting, so we schlepped out here one Sunday afternoon to see what Taiwanese eats this place had to offer. - Taiwanese Popcorn Fried Chicken: Juicy and tasty, but not my favorite. This needed way, way more white pepper and there wasn't any basil (boo). From older photos, it looks like they used to fry these with fresh basil, but they must've stopped when demand became overwhelming (boo again). - Taiwanese Breakfast Congee: Loaded with all the meat floss your grandma used to give you and a very uniquely flavored youtiao. The perfect Taiwanese breakfast bowl. - Taiwanese Fried Oyster Noodle: I saved the best for last because I'm about to rave. My first sip of the thick, bonito-laden broth was an instant memory unlock: only my Taiwanese grandma has made broth like this. It was delicious, it was comforting, it was home. I can't believe I found a place that makes orh ah me sua that tastes like my grandma's! Aside from the phenomenally rich, tart and packed with flavor broth, the oysters were perfectly fried as well. I don't care if you're allergic to mollusks...GET THIS! Just bring your epi pen. ;)

Tiam Tiam is totally worth the hype! I first learned about the restaurant at the AAPI Jazz Fest at Rutgers-Newark in May as they were one of the vendors at the event. Food was provided to the event volunteers, so I wouldn't have necessarily had a reason to try their food -- but the owners were generous and serious enough about their food that they decided to give the little food they had left when they were closing up to the event staff and volunteers. It was at that time that I got to try a few of their onigiri, a rice bowl, and milk tea. Because of how late the event ended, I wound up eating the items for breakfast the next morning, but even still, the food was very much enjoyable and delicious so I made a mental note to visit the location in the future. That visit finally happened recently when a friend and I shared a Taiwanese braised pork belly bento and that day's special of fried pork chops over rice. Everything was so delicious: The braised pork belly had good soy sauce flavor and we enjoyed the assortment of side dishes that varied the texture and flavor profile of the bento, while the seasoning on the pork chops enhanced the fried texture but minimized the potential greasiness of such preparation. Besides, there was enough food that I was able to take some leftovers home after we finished eating. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side with limited seating, so you may find yourself having to sit with other people at the same table. For this reason, Tiam Tiam seems to be more popular for take out and we saw many people doing just that during the hour and a half or so that we were there. One customer commented to the cashier that he drove over 30 minutes to pick up his order because it was that good. I will be returning in the future to try their other dishes!

Headline Story: Four…read moreFour South Village has ambitions of becoming a chain, with global reach and the pervasiveness of a P. F. Changs. I hope this plan works out because Four Four South Village is forking amazing. More so, I want a Four Four South Village in my home town. I want a Four Four South Village in my home town right now! * * * Main Point: Four Four South Village is a Taiwanese noodle shop. They have dry noodles, but wet is totally what you want to do. They have one of the most amazing stocks I have ever had in a bowl of Asian noodles. I have never been a super-fussy-about-the-stock pho eater. But Four Four South Village convinced me there is a higher better way. For those who want to climb peaks looking for the ultimate stock at the temple at the top of the mountain, This is a noble calling and the rewards for pure-minded search will be great. Four Four South Village is a serious candidate to be the temple on the highest mountain. * * * Footnotes: 1) Tomatoes are a great thing to put in your soup. 2) Get tripe and tendon to put in your soup. Tendon is particularly amazing. The actual beef called beef is actually on the tough side. It is the only downside to this beautiful place. 3) Spice congregates at the bottom of the bowl. Be aware. You are minding your own business and then you take a spoonful drawn heavily from the bottom of the bowl. That will wake you up. A lot. 4) Side dishes rule here. Get more than just soup. They have an amazing pressed tofu buried in a mound of fresh cilantro. Usually I loathe, execrate, despise and abhor cilantro. I once wrote in another review that I have a court order out on cilantro. Cilantro has to stay at least 200 yards away from my house. Cilantro can only visit my children in the presence of a social worker. I will make an exception to the court order for the pressed tofu and cilantro at Four Four South Village. That dish was so good Cilantro and I may decide to go into couples counseling to see if we can make our relationship work. * * * All in all, Four Four South Village is absolutely amazing. Put it on your calendar. Get it on your datebook. If you don't live in New York, Well they have places in Toronto where they started. If you don't live in Toronto either, Plane Tickets Exist.

Our family moved to Long Island, Suffolk County a few years ago and we truly miss authentic Asian food from Queens neighborhoods such as Bayside, Elmhurst and Flushing. We were thrilled when we landed on this hidden gem after moving to LI and found out this family moved their restaurant to Syosset, NY. If you are in the mood for Asian family-style meals, especially Taiwanese cuisine, we highly recommend Eatery 19 in Long Island.

***AUTHENTIC TAIWANESE STYLE CUISINE*** ***FRIENDLY…read moreWELCOMING SERVICE*** I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT You can't deny that New Yorkers love American style Chinese food. Look at any strip mall or shopping center, and it's almost guaranteed you'll find a Chinese take-out. Hell, if I had to guess, I'd say there are more than a thousand of these restaurants located in Nassau/Suffolk alone. Now Taiwanese food shares many similarities with authentic Chinese and American style Chinese. So if you're a fan of either of these, I'm sure you'll love what is being offered at a Taiwanese restaurant. So for me, it's hard to understand why there is only one Taiwanese restaurant offering a full size menu in all of Nassau and Suffolk counties combined. I mean, there's Mama Chan's, a restaurant / bar in Northport, that looks really interesting - but their 3/4 page menu of appetizers and entrees barely scratches an itch. And before Eatery 19 opened around five years ago, one would have to shlep all-the-way to Queens or Brooklyn from Long Island. Oy vey! GOOD GENES A full service authentic Taiwanese restaurant can't just magically materialize. And as it happens, the owners here are related to the family running Nan Bei Ho - one of the many popular Taiwanese restaurants in Bayside. But even with this lineage, Eatery 19 had a bit of a rough start, with a head chef that wasn't the most talented, and early reviews reflected this point. But not long after, a new chef took over the kitchen, and the cuisine has been maximally upgraded since. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE I can't imagine someone not being able to find something they really enjoy on this fairly comprehensive menu, even if you're a Taiwanese food novice. There's a nice selection of Taiwanese street food appetizers such as popcorn chicken, oyster pancake, Taiwanese sausage, cold dishes, and a not-so-smelly fried stinky tofu. If spicy is your thing, there are great versions of shredded beef or pork with spicy green peppers, spicy diced chicken, shrimp or squid in spicy pepper sauce, and chef's special beef or fish filet in chili oil. And there are some pretty good kung pao dishes if that's your jammy. Interestingly enough, they don't serve fly heads (cang ying tou) here, but they have a fantastic spicy minced pork with dried tofu cubes dish as a consolation prize. On the non spicy front, there are a plethora of items, so I'll just mention some of the ones I've enjoyed. Starting off, I have to call it! Eatery 19 makes my all time favorite version of the famous Taiwanese three cup chicken. It's saucy and savory, with tender boneless chicken & lots of basil. Unquestionably, It's the best I've ever had - and I order this everywhere. In addition, a great seafood option is the perfectly fried & delicious salt and pepper fish filets. And I also need to mention that the chef here makes fantastic fried rice, with tons of wok hei and fresh ingredients - just give the egg and scallion fried rice a try and you'll see. In addition, the fried rice with Taiwanese sausage comes in a close second. Looking for even more tasty carbs? The Taiwanese stir fried rice noodles with their unique flavor is a solid choice. And if you're craving soup noodles, there's a solid braised beef noodle soup available daily. NOT JUST FOR DINNER Eatery 19 is a fantastic resource for grabbing a quick tasty lunch, with a large assortment of over rice dishes. and two Taiwanese railroad bentos with choice of pork chop or chicken leg, being served with braised pork rice, cabbage, pickled vegetables, marinated egg, and Taiwanese sausage. LUCKY TO HAVE THIS Look, Eatery 19 may not be a contender on the list of top Taiwanese restaurants in New York. And it' features a plain looking interior with half-way descent service. But taking all this into account, Long Islanders, are still quite lucky to experience this cuisine close to home. And to be honest, I feel privileged each time I visit this interesting authentic eatery.
