Lovely little home-style mom and pop shop, honestly some of the best Asian food in town. Very quick and friendly service!

Very delicious and authentic Taiwanese food! We’ve had water spinach, steam scallion fish, dumplings for the kids, beef noodle soup, mixed sauce noodles, tofu with century eggs and more. They were all fresh and delicious! Great talk to the owners when we just moved here. We love the local vibes here. Every thing is so fresh and yummy. Dumplings are really really good. If you are looking for homemade Chinese food, this is the right place. Call beforehand to see if they are open. She said they are going to a trip in August 2023.

If you’re from Taiwan or other Asian country, come here for the taste you miss a lot.

Food is decent – not as flavorful as I would have expected, but they at least give you a good portion for what you get. I got the Kung Pao chicken combo and the orange chicken combo. The combo comes with eggplant which is DELICIOUS – sweet and savory- and was probably the best thing on the plate. The orange chicken wasn’t the syrupy sweet kind you might get from another Chinese food restaurant. It tastes like they use actual orange essence to flavor the chicken – it’s subtle and not overpowering. There was a wide variety of things on the menu to try, so I will likely be going back to try something different. Would recommend if you’re in the area. Cant sit inside but there are a couple tables outside to sit if you want to say. I would recommend ordering ahead because it took a long time for the food to cook.

A true mom and pup store. And very authentic Chinese homestyle cooking. Love our first visit here and will definitely come back in the future.

If you like authentic Taiwanese food, this is a good place to go. Food quality is excellent and price is very reasonable. It may not be as fancy as some of the high end Chinese restaurants in DC or NYC, but it is definitely better than your random Chinese restaurant that you see in any small city.

A small restaurant in a corner of a plaza not big, but could give you extremely surprising experience. They provide different tradition Taiwan-style dishes, and together with American Chinese food. The restaurant is decorated with a tradition and warm style, and very clean. What surprises me more is how they treated food. They really keep using the conventional ways to cook, and the dishes are authenticated and of very good taste. They made everything from the raw material by themselves. E.g., the pickles are made by themselves. The beef in the noodle soup are tender, and this cannot be done without hours stew with different spices.

Dropped in for a snack. Looks legit. Popcorn chicken was REALLY GOOD. Dark meat chunks fried up and dusted with 5 spice and fresh basil. Beautiful snack!

Great spot, wish I lived closer. Clearly grandmother’s cooking…that is if your grandmother was Taiwanese. Beef noodle soup was amazing. The previous reviewer’s claiming the portion was small for the price must have smoked a large portion of the good stuff before dining here. I’m leaving more than full, and who can complain for $10?
