Honestly the side dishes tasted better than the soup. Would like to try the braised pork next time though.

LUROU FAN - tender pork, flufyy fry rice, really good strong flavor in the tea egg. What more could you ask for ? Hearty and simple. Gets the job done. MILK MOCHI Never had this before, heard this was a bit of a trendy item gaining some traction. There's corn flake crumble on the top adding subtle crunch and sweetness. It's stretchy and sweet. Really a big fan!! Come here for milk mochi before it blows up!!!

The middle aged Chinese man running the food truck is a total d-bag. I walked up to him kindly and…read morenicely asked him to order 1 order of the chicken rice and 1 side order of the pork meat ball. He proceeded to speak to me in a "I'm better than you" tone as he questioned me why I wanted a side order, then told me he couldn't do it. All the while giving me the illest attitude and a stand-offish approach. Horrible service, so bad that it upset me enough to literally say "never mind I don't wanna order ANYTHING here" and walk away, seriously infuriating encounter with this food truck. He had the air of a standoffish owner and it SHOWS.

Food: We got the Triple Treasure Beef Noodle Soup, pork chop over rice, and chili oil wontons, and…read moreit was genuinely hard to pick a favorite. What stood out most was how deliberate each dish felt. Every ingredient seemed to have a thoughtful purpose, adding its own little dimension rather than just being there for the sake of being there. The peppery pork chop over rice had this lightly grilled cabbage that brought an unexpected smokiness to the dish and a spicy pickled vegetables that both complemented the savory pork really well. The chili oil wontons had plenty of spice and bold flavor, but the creaminess of the peanut sauce rounded everything out and kept the chili oil from being overpowering. The Triple Treasure Beef Noodle Soup was deeply savory and comforting, with plenty of five spice richness and deeply braised shank, tendon, and tripe throughout. Three very different Taiwanese dishes, but each felt thoughtful, balanced, and rebranded in its own way. Ambiance: A really cool modern take on Taiwanese nostalgia. There's a sleekness to the space, including the focused lunch menu, modern lighting, and clean presentation, but it's balanced by the exposed brick, traditional-style seating, and small nostalgic details scattered throughout. I especially loved the narrow beverage fridge glowing beneath a sign that reads, "Two 100 capsules without sleep." Little touches like that give the restaurant personality and make the space feel like more than just another trendy modern dining room. Service: Friendly, easy, and efficient. We came for lunch and were one of only a few parties there, so there was no wait. Everything came out accurately and in good time, and the service was attentive without being overbearing. Overall, a really memorable Taiwanese lunch. The food feels carefully composed without being fussy, and the space does a great job of blending something modern with a sense of nostalgia and tradition. Definitely a place I'd come back to soon.

Drinks were excellent! They seated us at the bar first because we were super early and the popcorn…read morechicken app was very well fried with some yummy glaze. Faves at our dinner table were the cold sesame noodles, wontons, and pork jowl. IMO you don't need the fried rice so just get the jowl as an app, not a protein add-on. I wished the BDSM chicken had more dark meat, but it was also really well fried and flavored. My husband and I also both wished the fried tofu app fully went stinky tofu, but I get why that's not on the menu here. Pork hock croquette was just ok and the huadiao egg tofu could've been better served over rice vs with wonton chips. Pea shoots were solid but it's hard to mess that up. Husband wished the wontons were in more of a chili oil than the sesame sauce but the wontons themselves were really delicious. Want to try 886 next time!

Popcorn chicken and spicy dumplings were regular, nothing to make it outstanding, but still delicious. The place is like a lunchroom. Not sure if we were just supposed to go take our own seats. There was no one to greet us as the ordering station is all the way in the back and all the staff were just hanging out around there. Service was odd, the server did not come check on us and when we needed something we just went to the ordering station. Please note, when we went it was pretty much empty, so it was not busy at all. As mentioned not sure how it supposed to work here, but we did get our food fairly quick. The place is cute, lots of plants, looks like a very big space, believe it used to be a garage. Overall food was filling, able to share if needed, give it a try. Its definitely a nice addition to LIC.

Chicken spicy wontons were probably the best thing we got. It had a very yummy flavor to it. I wouldn't say it's necessarily spicy though. Anyways. Good place but not worth the wait or money. Very pretty and good vibes though. Waitress was very nice and helpful.

BTW, their bakery is catercorner from the restaurant and absolutely worth a visit. Inside, the decor is simple-not Spartan-comfortable and functional. The tables are spaced nicely to provide privacy for each group. The evening that we were there, the sound level was comfortable. We could easily have a conversation around the large table. Our main server Lizzy was great. She has an amazing energy and smile that is so inviting. You're already enjoying dinner before you even order. We were 6 people and so we could order a wide variety of dishes. Some of my favorites were the scallion pancakes, lobster rice rolls, clam and basil and marinated cucumbers. There are enough choices for a vegetarian, pescatarian, but not for a vegan. We walked out satisfied and really happy. And then walked across the street to the bakery!

As for the food, it was good but not what I'm used to. It's Taiwanese fusion done okay. I'm not an expert but I think there could've been better flavor complements.

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.

I opted for their beef noodle soup which I read was a big hit. It was provided in a strange container - you have to remove the top "bento" section to reveal the beef soup below, and carefully put the noods and veg in. Overall, great soup and the noods had a nice bite. Always a fan of pickled mustard greens. The beef had a bit of a chew and there weren't too many pieces of it, but the deep rich beefy flavor of the broth kind of makes up for it. Napkins, hot chili oil, black vinegar, and extra utensils on the bar if you need extra. Feel free to join their club for 10% off your first order and other rewards.

They're also able to make it spicy upon your request but in general, most Taiwanese dishes aren't spicy. My friends ordered the dumplings, pork bun, tofu with century egg, and pork fried noodles and they all smelled/tasted really good as well! Seems as authentic as you can get for the area so definitely worth a try. They only have one large table in the back for a larger group (No more than 8) but they do have a good amount of seating for parties of 4 and under. Staff were really nice and service was great. It's one of those places you order at the counter and they'll bring out the dish for you.
