Great oyster mee sua, and fantastic fried chicken. Nothing more to say about the food ?Unfortunately we went on a Sat evening and there was only one poor lady working the front. Obviously overwhelmed and doing her best with a nice attitude to it… but that was the only drawback.And it’s in an Asian food court… nuff said ?

I have been seeing this dish in IG but couldn’t find any place in US that has this dish, I was so happy they have this Taiwanese street food in this area. This place specializes in Taiwanese street food. The noodle soup is slimy just fyi. The noodle is well cooked and the broth is well balanced. I wish they had more oysters or some kinds of protein and vegies for the price. The bowl is medium size, so it won’t fill you up, but I prefer it that way so I can try more dishes. They have an ipad to order. The food came out quick. Self service.

Oh my goodness, literally best "hole in the wall" "mom and pop" shop for fried chicken ?! You place your order by the kiosk by the end of this restaurant and wait for your order to be called. Grandma is strong ? running around, working hard, chopping chicken, and serving you with a smile ?. I can hear her greet her customers and thanking them for shopping. If anyone wants authentic Taiwan fried chicken from everyone's grandma, come here!!!!

Came here to try their XXL chicken ! They did not disappoint!!! It was super juicy and crunchy on the outside ! I totally recommend this place to those that love chicken ! The workers are super nice and helpful ! The area was super clean. Will definitely come back here again.

I think this is the best fried chicken I have had so far. To me, this is a very authentic fried chicken as I had in Taiwan. The cook time and temperature is perfect that makes the chicken juicy and not oily at all. They can help to cut it in pieces or as a whole. They even offer options for chicken thigh or breast. Will definitely recommend.

Located in the food hall at Pacific Pearl plaza! There's a kiosk you can order from or you can go to the register. The staff are quick & friendly too. We got the XXL crispy chicken thigh with extra spicy seasoning - soo juicy, crispy, & fresh out the frier! Fried chicken thighs are my favorite! Extra spicy seasoning tastes the same as regular spicy too, so for spice lovers go for the extra spicy haha. Their boba milk tea was great too! We chose 60% sweet & 50% ice.

Excellent and generously portioned popcorn chicken. Don’t sleep on the fried mushrooms, they’re equally good and the staff was very nice too!

This is one of my favorite places to get fried chicken!Service: I ordered on the kiosk and I received my food pretty fast.Food: I got the Treasure Rice Box and the Fishball Silver Noodle Soup. Both items were delicious! The chicken in the rice box was so tender and crispy! I absolutely loved it. The noodle soup was also delicious! The noodle was cooked perfectly. The soup was hot in temperature and it tasted like a seaweed flavor which I quite liked. I highly recommend trying their fried chicken! It's amazing!
This is food court @ Pleasanton pacific food hallMost of brand already closed .Now only Mochi doubt , viet grill and shih lin there . But I think this Shihlin openership is changed .They still made the crispy chicken great , lemon drink good too !

Ordered to go , arrived and no one was in the front, but there food was ready, had to ring the bell and a lady finally came out, she was cooking another order. I asked if the order was for me and she said no, she asked to see what I ordered, signal there was weak, so it was a little longer to pull it up. Finally got it and then it was longer before she came back to me and it turned out the order was mine! Anyway, the food was ordered "mild" but it was medium for me, the pieces were larger than "popcorn" but decent when you're starving. May try the XXL chicken next time, looked good when she pulled it out of the fryer.I wasn't expecting a food court, so it was a learning experience, need to bring someone else find out other dishes.

The food court this place was in was dying, the place was dirty but I thought I’d still give it a try, because you never know could be good, when food was done she handed the bag to me while her hand was covered in flour after breading the raw chicken so it was all over the bag…as well as sauce all over the side of the bag,.. I thought maybe she just forgot this one time, took everything out bag and tried a couple pieces and although the portion size was great the taste was not,.. all the chicken tasted like was bland 5 spice and a bit floppy,.. not crispy salt and pepper chicken,. Will not go back ever again,.
