Came here at 11:30am and it was deserted. Called and no one picked up. Place seems closed.

This is the first restaurant we visited since the lockdown! We felt safe with mask-wearing staff and social distance. Authentic Taiwanese food. Favorite dish is 臭豆腐.

Took the opportunity since we were in the area to go get some stinky tofu and salt and pepper chicken. Salt and pepper chicken was solid but could have been better if it wasn't soggy, next time they should put in a paper bag instead of the plastic box. The stinky tofu was awesome, not too stinky and the pickles were done spicy and well. Also tried the beef wrap which was okay but needed more sauce. I'll stop by here for other Taiwanese treats another time.

Stopped by here for a few snacks, and it was recently opened, but based on the reviews it's been a little while - clean and bright inside (though outside looks like it could use a new coat of paint and a rework of the parking lot). Friendly lady at the cash register, and we tried: 1) stinky tofu - lighter than average stinkiness, but on point with the spicy pickled cabbage 2) salt pepper chicken was probably better when it was first out of the kitchen - after a ride, it was soggy (I'd say they should put it into one of the paper to-go baggies instead of plastic next time) - lots of five spice or similar powder on top, could use a little more white pepper in my opinion 3) the beef wrapped in scallion pancake was ok, but needed some additional sauce. 4) soy milk - sweet and cold, not too beany and well balanced Overall - solid selections and I look forward to stopping in to try their dishes fresh (instead of having to take them to go). Nicely done!

Tried it one time with family gathering and very authentic and delicious Taiwanese cuisine. Price is very affordable and quality exceeds my expectation. Highly recommended and will certainly come again!

A relatively new place. Prices appear reasonable but taste was at best okay. We ordered two dishes for take out. Beef with broccoli of which they gave us the lunch special version. Beef was a little tough and taste was decent if a little oily. The second was salt and pepper squid. The fry was good but taste was bland… a stronger salt and pepper taste would make this a much better dish given the good crisp on the squid.Not sure if I will give this place another try yet given the number of Chinese food places in the area.The place a large parking lot although the lot could be better maintained (note that the parking lot has been in this condition for the previous restaurants that were here before this one). The location doesn’t help it too much as it’s in a out of the way place given the shopping areas locations… the roads to the shopping area don’t really pass through where this restaurant is.Strangely enough, the restaurant has multiple private dining areas. 6 from my count and the open dining area is about 5-6 tables right now.As of what I ate, this was mediocre Chinese food.

We had to try out the Taiwanese dishes, so we ordered the following: 1) Stinky tofu (4 stars) not stinky enough and not enough garlic, but the pickled cabbage was good. 2) Fried pork intestine (3.5 stars) it's decent. 3) Taiwanese popcorn chicken (4 stars) it's got a good texture and good flavor. 4) Oyster omelet (3.5 stars) it's more of an egg omelet with some potato starch, oysters and veggies. The sauce is good. 5)Pork intestine mei fun soup (3 stars) the soup base is really light and tasty. But the thick mei fun was unexpected. 6) Braised pork over rice (3 stars) the texture and flavor is good, but a bit under salted.

I ordered 3 dishes for the family meal and had to throw away 2 of them! The bitter melon just looks really old. And the pork still has hair on the skin!

Food was very good, very tasty. Tables were more than 6 feet apart as required. Food came out fast & hot. I will return soon to try the other dishes. Prices were reasonable. Sorry I forgot to take photos. On my next visit I will take photos.
For me as a Taiwanese people, the food taste just okay but wasn’t Taiwanese enough. A bit disappointed. However, the popcorn chicken tastes the best!

The only reason this restaurant is getting 2 stars instead of 1 is because the food is passable, but not great. However, the service when eating at the restaurant is terrible. We were sitting at a table for over an hour, without receiving all of the dishes we ordered, and we ended up leaving and having the food we never received removed from out bill.Additionally, other patrons in the restaurant were filming themselves eating, but also filming us in the background. This made us feel very uncomfortable, and management did nothing about this situation.Overall, horrible service and subpar food leads to this place being a one and done for myself, my friends, and my family. The New Brunswick/Edison area has some truly great Asian restaurants, but this is definitely not one of them. Eat somewhere else.

I like the “family meal” here - for around $36, you can order 3 dishes and it comes with soup (the complimentary soup which is probably usually just a simple bone broth) and white rice. The dishes are a nice size, almost between a lunch special and dinner portion (I’m guessing). The family menu is extensive so there is plenty to try. Double sautéed pork was super delicious and I love that they put some wok crisp cabbage in there to add some bulkand spread the porky goodness. Salt and pepper fish was on point, not fishy and big tender filets. Shrimp with hot pepper sauce was just Kung Pao shrimp. Not the best Kung pao around and shrimp was small. Too much red and green pepper. Scallion pancakes were impressively plentiful, and not too fried with a nice chew. The Taiwanese fried noodle was ok but not what I was expecting. It has bean sprouts and sa-cha sauce, the noodles were thin. Good prices. They took down their outdoor seating but tables are far apart. Service was really good. I was celebrating a bday for a friend and bought 2 slices of cake from Paris Baguette. They provided plates and forks and lit the candles for us and even played the happy birthday song on the speakers. I cannot wait to try the weekend breakfast although I saw other people order things that was on the weekend breakfast menu during weekday lunch. I should have asked for it! This location hasn’t had much luck in the past but I hope this one does well.

My husband and I just had lunch at Kings Joint!We had delicious homemade pot stickers! My husband had the lamb and vegetables over rice . I had shrimp and broccoli over rice . So good ! Soup egg drop and a nice pot of tea! The lunch portion more than enough, but so good we both finished them! We will definitely be back again! They were very safe! Hand sanitizer on every table! Social distant tables ! Highly recommend!
