Customer Reviews
Decent Chinese food for lunch. Quick and efficient service, but the beef noodle soup was not very flavorful. The stir-fried bamboo and pork was good though. Small parking lot in the front, but a larger parking lot in the back makes it easy to find a spot. Nice location if you want a quiet lunch on your own.
Great place to gather people having some Taiwan delights!
I’ve wanted to come here for a while after seeing a picture of their pan fried dumplings- and I have to say the pan fried dumplings were definitely the star of the show for me. We came around 1pm on a Sunday and they were pretty busy, we had to wait ~15 minutes for a table. The service overall was very, very, slow. It was slow getting someone to come by our table to place our order. The pork w/ salted egg yolk and minced pork dry noodles came out within reasonable timing but after they came out, we had to wait another 20 minutes for the pan fried dumplings to arrive at our table (which I can confirm via my photo timestamps XD). After the pork w/ salted egg yolk came out, we also asked for a bowl of rice to go with it which seemed like a simple request but it took a while. We saw the person we asked go in and out of the kitchen multiple times, delivering rice to another table before we got ours. Pan fried dumplings - super delicious!! They are made so well, crispy on the bottom, filled with wonderful juices and meat. They are a bit bigger than I expected but that’s just personal preference. Minced pork dry noodles - nothing special here. After seeing and eating it I feel like it’s definitely something I could make myself at home and I wouldn’t get it again. Pork w/ Salted Egg Yolk - this was very tasty, (and super filling). The outside was so flavorful and crunchy. If you like salted egg yolk flavors/snacks, I would definitely recommend trying this dish! Come Again? Probably not, but wouldn’t be opposed. They definitely do have some tasty food but the service was really slow and lunch took us over an hour for only 3 dishes.
They do have lots of varieties to pick, I don't know where to began so I start with noodles soup I ordered beef tendon noodle soup, the meat is pretty tender to eat and good flavor! Though I don't like the noodle it's flat noodle and pretty thick and not cooked well! I would have asked them sub with thin noodles! Good greens on.. luvd their curd bean salad it's an cold appetizer, served with celery and carrots great taste and fresh flavors of Chinese sauce. Their thin noodle with pork tender are pretty good to try on, I luvd that noodles more than flat one.. Well need to come back to try dim sun and others stuffs too! Pretty busy though... But the service is fast and welcoming. Taste 5* ambience 4* value 5* customer service 4* Indoor sitting ✓ No outdoor × Parking ✓
The noodle flavor is good but not enough sauce. Became a big disappointment. Vegetable rice with salty pork - salty pork lack flavor. Had better Salty egg yolk pork - heavy oily taste. The salty egg lack salty egg flavor but there were lots salty egg covered. This, poor quality of salty egg yolk. Pan fried buns - good. The skin is not very thick like some others. Flavor is just ok though. Soup inside so it's legit just meat lack flavor.
