We had dinner delivered, so I can’t really vouch for the service or the atmosphere but everything we ordered was delicious. The scallion pancakes are always a favorite and my wife and I each enjoyed the sizable entrées we had. Overall, I would say it’s a bit pricier than most Taiwanese places we have frequented, but it might just be worth every penny.

If you want a fresh take on Taiwanese brunch with a diverse menu of items from noodles to dumplings and even the classic soy milk + Chinese doughnut, you have to try Win Son.It’s a bit out of the way, but the subway makes it easy. We were there at open and they require the entire party to seat, but we didn’t have a hard time getting seated, nor was the restaurant full by the time we finished our meal.The restaurant had a young, hip vibe, playing modern pop songs and run by a group of trendy servers. Our server didn’t seem to have specific opinions on the menu itself or any recommendations to offer in terms of volume, so we went with popular items: fried eggplant, pea shoots, sesame noodles, classic dan bing, and pork dumplings.The dumplings and noodles were expected hits, but the pea shoots were a surprising favorite at the table. The eggplant sat in a tangy labneh that went surprisingly well with each crispy bite. Although we’d heard the dan bing was good, it was dry and lacked dimension.Would come back and possibly try the bakery across the street for an expanded list of menu items.

Rare Taiwanese restaurant with an exceptional selection of fusion food, with a particular strength in vegetarian options. $20 a person. 4.5/5 stars as a lunch spot.

As a local guide, I enjoy eating here because they have lots of delicious options for vegans and vegetarians, even some gluten-free options for my friend Brandon who happen to be joining me last nightYou can always go across the street and get some snacks and a glass of wine while you wait for your table, here is a photo of some food we ate

We got the deluxe dan bing, the pork buns, and the dessert. We also got the scallion pancake, but I didn’t get a photo of it. I really enjoyed the pork buns, which was more of a dumpling than what some people think of as buns. I didn’t know what a dan bing was but it tasted like a rolled up egg crepe. The american cheese and speck work so well together. I also ate it alongside the scallion pancake because I like a crunch. The dessert was fantastic and huge. I don’t know if the added garlic topping (can’t remember exactly what it was) was necessary. I also don’t think I loved the cilantro on it, but the whole dessert was lovely.

We had the scallion pancake, really enjoyed the texture. i like that it’s small and cut for youThe other dish was so good too. I love the combination of different flavors and textureNoodle was ok, maybe the weakest dish. but still enjoyable

Great food and cozy atmosphere. The pea shoots and lu rou fan were stand out dishes. Great place to go if you're looking for Taiwanese fusion.
The pan grilled pork buns were really good, however the lu rou fan was a bit oily. There was a big layer of oil and we just couldn’t finish eating that dish. The sesame noodles were overall just okay.

Super overhyped. Wouldn’t come again- the drinks, the flavors, everything was a bit off.
