“Great take on Lu rou fan (minced pork and rice), excellent scallion pancakes and awesome dessert (Tian miantuan) that was like a sandwich of sweet fried dough, golden sesame ice cream and condensed milk (plus cilantro and butter dried peanuts)! Great beverages as well such as the slightly sweetened Jasmine iced tea and Sanzo (lychee & calamansi) sparkling water products!“
“Came here for a birthday dinner and absolutely loved it! Because we had a large group we did the pre-fixe menu and it comes with a tonnnn of food, all amazing! I wish I had taken more pictures but standouts include the cold sesame noodles, popcorn chicken, and lettuce wraps among others. The service was excellent and their drink selection is quite good! I wish I had tried some of the cocktails but I was also perfectly content with my glasses of orange wine. I would love to come back again and try out other items on the menu!“
“Yum yum yummm. As a Taiwanese person, I loveeee the basil mayo sauce with the large popcorn chicken. It’s a total delight after a long workout at the climbing gym too. I also reccomend the ru rou fan (marinated pork) on a bed of rice a with half an egg and scallions“
“Absolutely love this place. One of my favorite meals recently. Service is so warm and the food is divine. Mama Lee herself brought us a few of the dishes! Three cup chicken and sweet and sour fish were my favorites. And the complimentary chicken and radish soup washes everything down. Def come with friends to get a variety of dishes. Will definitely return!“
“Pecking House had some of the best fried chicken I have had in recent times. It was elevated and you could tell there is an extra level of sophistication to their chicken. Different flavors, different techniques and some Asian fusion aspects that pair so perfectly well with the classic American style fried chicken. Cornbread was excellent, dirty fried rice was also superb and the chili chicken sandwich really hit the spot. Can't wait to return to Pecking House in the future! Service was also excellent; super attentive and next level for a more casual place like this one. Don't sleep on the Peanut butter pudding!“
“The best thing about the restaurant is the old lady that owns the restaurant! Absolutely! Adorable and soo sweet! The beef noodle dish was so5 stars for 5 seasons1. Owner is sweet! Sweetest old lady you’ll ever meet!2. Beef noodle dish was perfection! Super flavorful, noodle texture perfect! Beef was so tender!3. Price was amazing!4. Fast service! Super!5. Location was good! Not the best!“
“Restaurant seems quiet and not much customer, we kind of skeptical whether foods or services are good? We ordered the famous stinky tofu, stew chicken with rice wines soups, pork with bamboo shoots and Fly’s Heads. We all loved it. The soups full of herbals and rice wines, chicken just perfectly cooked, the Fly’s Heads (chives)dish is delicious. Just so happy finally can enjoy the best and authentic Taiwan cuisine here in Flushing“
“Wanted to try a Taiwanese style restaurant, it was so good. The flavors are really there and everything tastes great.We ordered 4 things- beef noodle soup (very tender and the noodles and the soup were so flavorful)- salt and pepper chicken was so crunchy- we got a lamb with vegetables plate (very sweet and savory)- pig intestines (so crunchy and delicious!)Overall experience 10/10 would come again“
“the entire staff is so friendly and amazing. Full of smiles and just an overall great experience. I was fortunate enough to meet Cindy (the owner) who is an intelligent, funny, and amazing person. Stop by chinatown and try the delicious eel with purple rice with some farm fresh mango bubble tea“
“As you walk in the Restaurant, you immediately get a homey atmosphere in this place! The food was served very quickly. The Authentic Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup is excellent as the broth is very thick and flavorful. The beef that they use is half tendon half meat, which is the best combo that a merchant can use when preparing this dish! Overall, the food is excellent! I would definitely come back again!As a bonus, their pickled cabbage and peanuts side dish are excellent too!“
“I really enjoyed my visit to 886, which has been on my list for a while! The Notorious TFC was a standout dish. The fried chicken was very juicy and generously sized. The slaw in the sandwich had a really refreshing slaw. The beef noodle soup was pretty good, although I think the broth was a bit too thick. The service was fast and I liked that the restaurant had a lot of cute Taiwanese decor. I would like to come back to try their drinks, which sound really good.“
“Out of this world. A place like this deserves a Michelin star or a Bib Gourmand. The whole team is super attentive, and their food is exceptionally flavorful and with loyal flavors to its Chinese Szechuan roots. Congrats for such a well executed menu. Will be back!“
“I'd rate Formosa four and a half stars. Tawainese dumpling shop. We shared the signature pork dumplings and the chicken and cabbage. We had them pan seared and topped with their signature sauce and scallions. Nice sear on the dumplings. They were generously stuffed and held together well without being overly doughy. We also shared the fried mushrooms. These had a super crispy texture. If you're a fan of chicharrones, then you'll want to try these fried mushrooms. Service was quick and helpful. There was one gender neutral restroom. Atmosphere was casual.“
“Very good dumplings, the braised beef was phenomenal too. Was kinda annoyed as I waited awhile but it was definitely worth it. Looking forward to trying the noodle next time.Do yourself a favor and skip wah fung and don't be a cheapskate and come here.“
“Got the beef noodle set for two, was satisfied.The Lu Rou Fan was really good, would highly recommend.The other sides were solid as well and the noodle soup is what you would expect/want from a classic Taiwanese beef noodle soup.They operate out of a cute, small space. Appropriately decorated and clean.“
“Pleasantly surprised, and left here feeling satisfied and full. This is definitely one of the better meals I've had in NYC Chinatown. For $8.25 you can get a nice plate of Fried Pork and egg over rice ($7.50 w/o egg), accompanied with some light veggies and a interestingly delicious meat gravy. This dish was plenty, but I was wanting more protein so I added a side dish of fried chicken for $3.50 which came out very crispy and delicious. All the food here came out quickly as well. Would definitely be back to get the same or even try something new.“
“Delicious food for very reasonable prices! We got the Taiwanese Burger (Pork), the Popcorn Chicken Noodle, and the Beef Shanghai Noodle, which were all quite flavorful and authentic. Seating is somewhat limited because the space is shared with several other restaurants, but other than that it was a nice experience overall.“
“everything was excellent! I had a tremendous lunch with my wife for $11.99 per person.When you enter you go to the buffet and take a plastic snack (there you will see them on the buffet), you can take as much as you want until the food is full and "it can close well.", then you pay and that's it! only $11.99 per (person/meal).I HOW did you hear! and I was fine! ??I fully recommend this place! It is fine and economical and you eat very tasty!“
“Alright, with all the Yelpers reviews of this Boba Tea shop; figured got to give this place a try while in Flushing Queens. The main attraction is the starchy Boba balls made fresh and churned daily in that sweet brown sugar sauce. Ordered the Iced Brown Sugar Boba Tea;wait time was just about ten minutes. Because it's still Winter weather- drinks with no ice cost an additional quarter. My drink tasted really good- the boba itself was still warm; gave the drink some extra warmth. The texture of the boba was bouncy and chewy- and has that great brown sugar after taste. The drink was a bit too milky- watched the clerk pour so much lactaid milk into my cup. Overall, boba tastes better in the Winter time“
“A tea place that is more traditional herbal style rather than milk/Boba. I got thr osmanthus oolong tea. It personally was not my favourite taste but I can definitely taste the herbal osmanthus so it does not just taste like sugar water like most other tea places.“
“A cozy Taiwan restaurant in Bayside with high quality price ratio.Highlight: 5 mins to Cross Island Parkway exit 31w.Note: Cash only. Venmo/Zelle not available.Must-try: Lu Rou Fan 卤肉饭，Taiwanese Salt Pepper Popcorn Chicken 盐酥鸡Recommendation: Gua Bao刈包, beef in Niu Rou Mian 牛肉面Food: We ordered Lu Rou Fan (braised pork rice), Gua Bao (meat bun), Niu Rou Mian (beef noodles), and salt pepper popcorn chicken. The best part is how tender and soft the meat is, even the fatty parts melt in your mouth. They offer two types of rice, Lu Rou Fan and Khong Rou Fan. Gua Bao uses the same Khong Rou in Khong Rou Fan. Khong Rou is a large piece of meat with fat and lean parts. Gua Bao uses crushed peanuts and sugar on the meat. If you like big bites of meat, you will probably like this texture. Note that it is relatively greasy compared to other dishes. The crispy fried chicken is quite tender, but a bit salty. The beef in the beef noodles is top-notch, sadly the noodles are too soft and lack chewiness. My personal favorite is Lu Rou Fan. It has pickled cucumbers inside with a slightly sour but refreshing taste to balance the greasiness. The sportion of food is another highlight. It is more filling than it looks.Price: It is beyond my expectation. We were so full and even had leftover to bring home, while we spent less than $30 per person.Parking: they have parking lot in front of the restaurant, but spaces are limited.“
“Very friendly staff and yummy drinks! Came here while waiting for my express bus just outside and had a good experience. The only thing is that there isn't much space to sit if there are already people there, so you might be better off just getting your stuff to go rather than eating in.“
“I love coming here for the beef noodle soup. Taking one star off though because I always order delivery from here when I can’t drive out to Elmhurst and I’ve noticed that they substantially decreased the amount of the fried appetizers (calamari and sweet potato) these past few times I’ve ordered.“
“It was a little tight seating wise but also one of the only places in the area I could find with seating. The price to seating size was almost perfect and it was some of th3 best fried rice I've ever had. The dumplings I stole off my partners plate were good too :^)They have self order kiosks so if you wanted to you would t if had to talk to anyone. It was fantastic and a great place to chill out at the end of a long day of walking“
“one of my favorite places on the planet. home cooked style meals and friendly service.the three cup chicken and sauce with their white sticky rice is to die for. discovering new dishes at this place is always a treat.cash only but there's free parking. thanks Taiwanese Gourmet for a reliable good time!“
“This place is beyond amazing. Super clean ! Delicious ? soups, amazing dumplings ?. It's a hidden ? gem. The employees are very attentive and super quiet so that you can enjoy your time there. I honestly am blown away!!! Please bring your loved one and have a wonderful experience.Kid-friendliness: They have plenty of space for your kids.“
“Very dope boba spot with lots of claw machines filled with cute plushies! I got a Green Milk Tea with Boba and Whipped Taro which were pretty good. The taro was creamy and delicious. I would recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a cool spot to test your luck with the claw machines and get good boba. They also serve lots of fried snacks and food options.“
“Fried rice with pork chop was pretty nice in terms of flavor. For what is literally fried pork, it wasn’t as greasy as I initially anticipated. Minor complaint I had about the dish though was that it was still pork chop whose bone needs to be separated by some knifing. To do that on the top of the rice was bit inconvenient and annoying.Cucumber dish was nice side kick to the rice dish.Another minor complaint I had was about the restaurant’s temperature. On the day I visited, outside was like 0 celsius and inside felt like 15 celsius. It wasn’t cold but I hoped it was warmer especially when I were to be served with ice cold water.Kinda want to try and evaluate how they made their version of kimchi as a Korean but overall my gut feeling is that I will feel somewhat lazy and hesitated to revisit here.밥과 고기의 맛 자체는 괜찮았으나 막 또 먹으러 오고 싶은 정도인지는 좀 잘 모르겠습니다. 김치를 small dish로 팔길래 궁금하기는한데… 오이 small dish는 오이김치 안 매운 버전인데 밥 옆에 반찬으로 딱이었습니다.“
“Stopped by at a new second avenue location at 1623 second avenue. They offer a wide variety of eat in or take out food that is easy to eat or make. The product has choices of fried, boiled sandwiched or soup dekendung on your mood. Delivery through grub hub app and a welcome addition to the upper east side food scene“
“I pass this all the time and was super interested in the menu because they had a lot of Taiwanese street foods. I got the popcorn chicken and was surprised at how crispy it was. The chicken was a little dry but the seasoning was good. I definitely want to go back to try the other things on the menu.“
“I'll come back for braised port with dry noodles and luroufan. Pork chop over rice is a bit greasy and the bread crumbs was too thick. Probably won't order Tainan Bun Kueh again because the texture was more like mashed potato and not like the Kueh texture I am used to. Stream Glutinous oil rice (油飯) was good and would come back for it.“
“Wheel cake is a delightful treat that is popular in Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea. It features a round and crispy outer shell made from batter. The cake is filled with a wide range of flavors, ranging from sweet options like custard, butter taro, and red bean, to savory choices such as tuna corn salad and sautéed cabbage. We will make wheel cakes and invite people to taste. Attendes can also have a try.“
“There are enough stations! So good!There is a parking lot and the price is very reasonableThe landlady is also very kind!It’s not just that the hotpot is deliciousOther side dishes and braised pork rice are also super deliciousBig tweet ??????“
“I loved Chunky Boss! I came 2 days in a row. The person at the counter is knowledgeable of the menu and gives great recommendations on the best items to order. I highly recommend the pepper flavored chicken cutlet, fries and lychee green tea combo. SO good! I will definitely come back again when I visit NYC next time!“
“Grandma was a very nice person. One night at 8:30, the store was already closed, so I called to place an order with the intention of giving it a try, but she still helped prepare the meal. Later I asked my grandma, and she said that it was closed, but the pot was still hot, but she tried her best to cook. I work outside and am warmed by my grandma’s kindness?The rice is delicious, and the soup, whether salty or sweet, is delicious.“
“We got the brown sugar pearl milk tea and the lemon iced tea, plus some little rice balls as a snack.Perfect place to drop in and get some takeaway. Prompt service and the drinks have a good ratio of sweetness to flavour.We were only in Williamsburg for a week but we came back here multiple times. It’s open late so we could drop by on the way back from an event.“
“Chun Yang Tea offers over 42 different beverages to choose from. Small but there is room for two tables with chairs. There are stools for additional seating at the window. I ordered the winter melon drink which was pretty delicious and refreshing.“
“I recently went here again with my boyfriend who recommended we go here again for Taiwanese food since he's been going here since he was a kid. And honestly, I forgot how good it is! Truly your hole in the wall restaurant that you want to keep running back to. Once you walk in, you notice that most people in the restaurant, including the customers, are speaking Chinese so you know that's a good sign. This is honestly the best Taiwanese food I have had so far at a restaurant in the East Coast! It is so tough trying to find an authentic Taiwanese restaurant that has no frills, just great food and quick service. Something about the cabbage that comes with the table is just so addicting, and that alone was one of our favorite dishes. We also ordered the oyster pancake (one of my favorite dishes), shredded pork and bamboo, leek and cuttlefish, stir-fried rice cake, and another tofu dish I forgot the name of. Bring cash since it's cash only!“
“This place is amazing. All the food is absolutely delicious and the staff is wonderful and welcoming. It's a great place to bring kids, family and friends toy won't be disappointed. Besides that this place is very affordable and budget friendly. I can recommend this all and everyone I know. Thank you Lucky for providing us with delicious food and amazing service. I look forward for the next meal and dinning.“
“Food 9/10Solid and simple popcorn chicken bento, perfect for a fast lunch. They really fill up the bowl with a lot of chicken and rice, so you won’t feel hungry after this meal.Atmosphere 6/10Quite bare bones interior, with two rectangular tables and then some high chairs for solo diners.Service 6/10Super fast with getting the food out, you pay at the counter and get a bento to go.“
“The best restaurant in New York, and the lady boss is also nice. The most important thing is that the milk tea in this store is full of details. The pearls are of two different sizes, which enriches the taste and keeps the taste from boring. Last time I ordered the Flaming Mountain Brown Sugar Milk. They also paid attention to details, adding sea salt cream on top and grilling it with flames...it was really perfect. This time it was Yangzhi Manna and Mango Thick Milk. I was amazed again. Oh my god, it tastes really good.Those who read negative reviews are telling lies with their eyes closed. Don’t believe it. This store is worth traveling half an hour to try!“
“One of my favorite places in all of Flushing! The braised rice bowls, sesame chicken soups, and beef noodle soups are all amazing! Also great for Taiwanese popcorn chicken. I have been told the braised pork rice bowl is the best item, but unfortunately I do not eat pork.I usually order on Uber Eats, but the restaurant is clean with great service and in a central location. Food comes out lightning fast. They are also open late night. If you're looking to try Taiwanese food, check out Four Four!“
“One of my favorite place to grab a quick Chinese meal.Born and grown up in China, I would say the dishes there are great and remind me of the food back at home.The staff there are quite pleasant as well, though do not expect the “how’s everything going” kinda service like you would get in some restaurants. But I personally prefer that they keep the service minimal so that I can enjoy my time with friends.Overall, strongly recommend if you like noodles and Chinese food!“
“Only Real Taiwan Fried Chicken in NYC! If you want the real Taiwan fried chicken in NYC, this is the only spot, period! I tried lots of places claiming themselves are Taiwanese , but they just couldn’t get the taste 50% right ?But stumbling upon this place was a happy accident. The chicken here is truly Amazing. It’s huge, too – enough to share with a friend. It reminded me of Taiwan’s night markets, which I miss a lot. I love it here and I’ll be back often. If you want authentic Taiwan fried chicken, come here. 100% won’t be disappointed!“
“Great hole in the wall located near 8th avenue. Highly recommend ordering in advance and picking up as parking is your typical street parking experience.Delicious food, great value for your money, friendly and efficient staff.I’ve already had food from here more than 5 times and I’d still continue to return. It’s so healthy and filling.CASH ONLY.“
“The food ordered was tasty and very appealing. There is a good variety of choices and can be almost customizable. The prices are reasonable for the amount of food you are given. Service was efficient and they were willing to work with me on the selections. Small but quality and quiet location.“
“The servers are quick, consistent, and attentive. The soup dumplings at this location are so good. As are their scallion pancakes. Their spicy beef soup is good there and even reheated the next day at home. My kids love eating here. The bathrooms are clean. The place is clean. And we have had great experiences here. I would just double check their opening time on Sundays. I believe Google has it as 1030 but I think its actually at 11.“
“i think some people already said the broth/noodles lacked salt. i think just by adding some salt, it would really help the broth. portions were good for the price. i think some people were complaining about the portion vs price were getting delivery and the apps are always more $$ that dining in. otherwise the noodles were cooked well and i was full by the end of my meal. i'd go back and hope they add some salt to the broth.“
“Drink is good. Not a good price, but flavor is always good. Usually the staff is cold but this time I had a girl who smiled and was simple. That is nice enough, and felt like a better experience. Ambiance is okay, a little too small to stay and chill. I love the Taiwanese sausages and the lychee tea with chia seeds. Lunch special weekdays before 3, and student discount can not be applied together. 4/5“
“We were all very impressed with the food, service, and atmosphere.The food was absolutely delicious. We tried a variety of dishes, including the Hainanese chicken, the Fujianese fried noodle, and the Indian pancake. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavors were amazing. My daughter especially loved the chicken and rice, and my brother raved about the noodleThe service was also excellent. Our server was very friendly and attentive, and she made sure that we had everything we needed. She even brought out a high chair for my daughter and a coloring book to keep her entertained.The atmosphere was very pleasant. The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is very welcoming. It was a great place to bring my family for a casual meal.Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Peninsula Malaysian Cuisine. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Malaysian meal.“
