Really busy the Saturday afternoon I went but luckily got a seat for 2. Kitchen was low on people…read moreyet the hospitality and morale was extremely friendly and upbeat nonetheless. The popcorn chicken is outstanding. Genuinely shocked at how good it is. Juicy, tender, flavorful. Chicken is definitely star of the show/menu. The dumplings are fun as well. The green/veggie one has a yummy texture you definitely can't get from frozen ones. The noodles are ok. I wish the rice was more fresh or fluffy. Wouldn't get these two again but would absolutely come back just for the chicken.

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.

Idk why I haven't been here before?? It was absolutely delicious!!…read more Bf said they might have the best pork jowls in the city! Big words!! The beef oil noodles gave big chicken plate vibes (iykyk) but with beef Mushroom salad was a little different than the regular woodear salad - delish!! The main star of the show imo was the fried tangyuan - delicious creamy ice cream with a crispy mochi-y sesame ball of goodness!! Cant wait to come back and try their other items! Great cocktail list, great service, great vibes, smaller spot but has one bigger table to accommodate a bigger party! Also, didn't know but it's by the same team behind 888 in st marks!

Wenwen is a modern Taiwanese restaurant that blends traditional comfort food with creative,…read morecontemporary dishes in a lively setting. We walked into a space with an energetic atmosphere, an open kitchen, bar seating, and a menu designed for sharing, the kind of place that feels best experienced with a group. The room had a vibrant, social energy with a steady buzz of conversation and the clatter of plates, and the layout encouraged ordering multiple dishes to pass around the table. While the space could get loud and busy during peak dinner hours, the lively environment fit the restaurant's casual and social style. The menu highlights a mix of Taiwanese classics alongside more playful creations. We ordered a few dishes and found the beef noodle soup standing out with a rich, flavorful broth, tender beef, and chewy noodles that made it one of the most satisfying items on the menu. The popcorn chicken was another signature dish, served hot and crispy with plenty of seasoning, making it an easy choice to share at the table. Cold sesame noodles, braised pork rice, and the shrimp floss lettuce cups were also worth considering if we were looking to try a variety of flavors, each arriving well composed and thoughtfully seasoned. Dessert was one of the more memorable parts of the meal. The fried tang yuan served with ice cream offered a creative twist on the traditional Taiwanese rice dumpling, combining a crispy exterior with a chewy center and cold, creamy ice cream. It was one of the more unique desserts on the menu and made a great way to end the meal. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, and the staff were happy to make recommendations if we were unfamiliar with Taiwanese cuisine. Because Wenwen has become a popular destination, reservations are highly recommended, and walk-in waits can easily reach 30 to 60 minutes during busy evenings. The team moved through the room with efficiency, and the pacing of the meal kept the flow steady without feeling rushed. Overall, Wenwen offers a fresh take on Taiwanese cuisine while staying rooted in many classic flavors. The combination of well-executed comfort food, creative desserts, and an energetic atmosphere makes it a great choice whether we were already familiar with Taiwanese food or trying it for the first 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.

Dining at Din Tai Fung in New York City was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment you…read morewalk through the doors, you're greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality that immediately makes you feel welcome. What impressed me most was the consistency of the service. It genuinely doesn't matter which server you have--every single team member is attentive, friendly, professional, and eager to ensure you have a great experience. In all my years of dining out, I have rarely encountered an establishment where every employee is so committed to providing outstanding customer service. The staff work seamlessly together, always checking in at the right moments without being intrusive, and they create an atmosphere that feels both upscale and comfortable. Their kindness and attention to detail elevate the entire dining experience. Din Tai Fung has set the standard for hospitality. The food is fantastic, but it's the people who make this restaurant truly memorable. I cannot recommend this location highly enough and will gladly return again and again.

Everyone's been polite and chill even when we're asking for new plates after like every other dish so flavors don't mix. Don't do one entrée per person. Get a mix of small and large plates and share.

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.
