Just had some fried tofu like one might do in Taipei. Tastes authentic. (Coming from a Taiwanese person that is ABC).

Shrimp Omlette 蝦仔煎 is savory and chewy with that sweet tomato dipping sauce makes me feel like I’m at a night market

A very satisfying quick lunch spot! I ordered the treasure box, and the fried chicken is so delicious. I really enjoyed the breading and the spice. The rice is perfectly cooked as well. Note when you order at the digital counter to print a receipt so you have your order number.

Popcorn chicken was quite crispy and the meat was very juicy! Was very well spiced too. The sweet potato fries were also really awesome – very crispy and the plum seasoning was a great touch.

Ordered popcorn chicken. It was pretty soft.. nothing like popcorn. I was trying to show off Taiwanese food to my friends… but.. it’s embarrassing. Other branch has better popcorn chicken for sure. Very disappointing. Service is very friendly though. But the food is… very disappointing. Hope it just one instance.

Love the street snacks! But I am bummed that they changed the mushrooms one to this thicker version. The thinner mushrooms were so much better crispier and tastier.

Delicious, well spiced, surprisingly generous portions, and perfect milk tea. A bit on the pricey side for one of the meal boxes, but the quality makes up for it. Not to mention ordering online is easy and timely. Great stuff!

Good solid place when you’re in the mood for Taiwanese street food. Very fast turnaround time if you order ahead, but finding parking may be a challenge on the busy street

Best fried chicken I’ve had in the bay area! Crispy skin and marinated flavorful inside. Their spicy level is on the milder side so if you like it hot get the extra spicy.
