Super authentic Taiwanese street food place. From entree braised pork soup and squid noodle soup to appetizer popcorn chicken and fish cake(tempura) are all delicious. They also provide a variety of spices powder and sauce for you to customize your dishes. The only thing not as impressed is the soy pudding because the peanut soup is diluted by the ice. However, overall a very pleasant dining experience and prices are reasonable. Definitely would recommend it if you are looking for authentic Taiwanese food.
I'm very happy to eat the taste of my hometown~ It's very pleasant and filling. There are a variety of meals to choose from. I really want to come back to try other dishes! (Closed on Tuesdays)

One of the BEST restaurants that sell authentic Taiwanese foods/street foods, desserts and drinks.
Decided to stop by this little restaurant for a quick bite to eat. You can order to go or dine in. If you're eating there, sit down and look at the menu and mark of what you want to order. Then take your order sheet to the front and give them your order and pay. Their rice bowls were good and the popcorn chicken was tasty. I'd go back.

The price for the how much food they give you is a bit pricey along with the 3.5% charge if you use credit card, but this pork belly was so tender I'm not even mad. It was so soft and full of flavor that I need to go back for it. The drinks are also very cheap compared to prices after inflation (All under $5) and very good. I got their osmanthus and a caramel iced milk drink when I went. Their honey boba here is still great quality and if I'm ever craving Half and Half, I'd go here The tables are a bit small, so maybe parties of 2-3 would fit, but not for big groups. I really recommend coming here for the food and drinks if you have a small party.

Good food, in a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. It feels like being in a Taiwanese cafe- full of color, and liveliness.The popcorn chicken is especially good! Their servings are nice and small so you can order a few for sharing. Really enjoyed their signature noodle dish, and their spicy tofu!They have a vast menu of options, it’s hard to pick what to get! Overall everything is really tasty, they work very quickly and aren’t excruciatingly busy on the weekdays.Their ice milk is so good! So many great classics to enjoy here in an intentional space.

I don't come here often but when I do it's always the same high quality food I remember. I love their popcorn chicken and it always comes with these crunchy rice puffs that I had when I was a kid.Their good old time soup is good but I would say it's probably not what you expect. It's very thick and not your typically liquid soup base. Nonetheless I think it's tasty and you should try it once!When you eat there, there are tables with short stools and hooks to hand your bags. You can easily access their sauce bar in the back with different seasonings and sauces to choose from. It's also really easy to pack your items to go.

The shredded chicken rice is good. There's some oil on the rice but not too fatty. Also some garlic sauce on top which is also a nice surprise.I also got a pork belly sandwich. I asked the waitress if the meat is fatty on this and she said no. The sandwich I got had pork belly pieces that were very fatty, and I said, I thought she said it wasn't going to be very fatty. Then I received a few not fatty ones, which was good.

I had not been here since the pandemic, and decided to get take out. So glad that I thought about Half & Half Good Old Time! I got my favorite--- the Minced Pork Pickle Rice, which was delicious, and just as I remembered it. Steamed rice bowl with flavored minced pork, soy sauce egg and yellow picked radish. I'm not a big eater, and although it doesn't look that big, it was just right for me for dinner. Absolute comfort food at it's best! I also got a boba milk tea, which was very good as well.Although I've only gotten take out here, it's the first time since the pandemic that I've seen people dining inside. It's a small place, but really cute and charming. There about 5 small tables, with a nice ambience. It would be fun to dine in some time!Service was also very quick and friendly. The young man who took my order also asked me if I'd like my milk tea "less sweet" to which I said yes. I had forgotten to make that request. All in all, great service and great food. Highly recommended!
Agreed, this place def gives me a “good old time” feeling. Loves the retro style that totally reminds me of the old times eating in Taiwan. The restaurant itself is not big, there are only 4 or 5 tables. Good thing there are plenty of options on the menu for you to try out, we’ve tried a few items and all were great. Most importantly, all were pretty authentic!The reason why I take out one star is because that the portions there were relatively small compared to other Taiwanese restaurants around the area.All in all, worth trying!

Amazing atmosphere, feels really authentic! Food is great, just don’t get the Udon noodle soup if you don’t like a strong fish taste. Staff is super friendly!

Been passing by this place numerous time and finally had a chance to try it. Came on Saturday morning and it was quiet. Was seated right away. To order you would need to go to the counter or they have menu that you can filled out. Their food was okay. It definitely made me reminiscing about my childhood. I missed the rice and pork. It's hard to find a place that still make this kind of flavors. Their popcorn chicken is definitely how I remembered it from my childhood. It was delicious. Though food was okay, the stars were mainly for their Taiwanese flavors of the pork and rice, and the popcorn chicken. Their menu seems to have many options. Would definitely like to try.

The food here is delicious, but that's not all - the adorable decorations add a touch of whimsy that creates a truly charming atmosphere. Can't wait to return for another great experience!

Bring a friend so you can order more things. It's a big menu so you'll need extra butts to help you try all the flavors. Feels cozy in here and you place and pay for the orders then the dishes come to the table as it goes. Parking sucks here btw.
