Porridge was too light. Sweet potato was under cooked. Side dishes were ok.

Love the traditional Taiwan Porridge with variety of dishes to choose from. Lunch special set can be 3 or 4 dishes. They offer prepared dishes and made to order dishes too. Great taste but eating environment is pretty dated.Meat ball, spicy pork blood and tofu, peanut with anchovy, pork tongue. All these are my favorite.

To be honest it's a bit uncomfortable to navigate if you don't know Chinese (yes I know "Chinese" isnt just one singular spoken language) BUT I'll go through a million more awkward pointing and asking for misheard directions over the noise of dinner rush for the garlic eggplant and the mustard green stir fry. Which was described as bitter but I don't know why because it really isn't. King of edible leaves his majesty the mustard green.

This is a good place to eat Taiwanese food. The local Taiwanese food is reasonably priced, but vegetables are more expensive than meat. If there are four people, one green vegetable is probably enough. The taste is a bit oily. In addition, all-you-can-eat porridge is free.

Only done takeout. Food is delicious and of good value. The meatball and cold celery and tofu skin are two of my fav dishes. Service is fast as a lot of the dishes are premade.

If you like rice (and sweet potato) porridge and want some light, this is where you should go! A selection of taiwanese dishes, shredded jelly fish and bitter melon are my favorite!You can order from the menu for freshly made dishes or on the smorgasbord.

The porridge is in a pot at your table, you just have to choose "sides". Though those "sides" are really the main dishes. This is the first time I had squid where the gladius/pen wasn't removed ahead of time which was interesting. What I liked the most was the cold mushrooms, they were a lot of fun. The porridge itself was ok, and not sweet to my taste like other reviews mentioned it would be. But I'm personally not a fan of this porridge, I guess, though I do like the novelty of having it there.
The restaurant was crowded. I didn't know how to order but the staff was kind enough to help me.

I used to love their food, but now I’m really disappointed . I order something for takeout, sadly there is a box of rice is spoilt, comes with a sour smell, I can’t imagine what if my kid or family eat this.Not to mention their poor service, the lady with pink ponytail, always acting like I owe her money.
