The restaurant doesn't seem like much when you drive by, but sometimes looks can be deceiving. If you are a fan of spicy food that is light on your stomach yet flavorful in taste, this is the place for you to go. Spicy Peanut Chicken is my personal go to.

The informations online needed to be updated, they have a new different menu and also they start at 9am. The pork burger is the one of the best I had the America, authentic, the cold noodles is 4 out of 5, lamb soup is not my favorite , kind of Americanized。overall the price is decent.

Authentic Chinese food and Very reasonable price! Have ben here multiple times and tried all the popular items on menu. It would be great if the indoor dining will be improved.

Noticed this place while shopping at the supermarket next door. Yesterday was our second visit. We had both some breakfast items and noodle bowls. Everything was tasty and reasonably priced. I ordered the egg and tomato noodles and I do think the noodles were hand-made. Pretty amazing for $10. Also, try the soy milk and donuts... yum! My only suggestion is use less salt.

I have visited once and it was very chill. The braised chicken is worth the wait. I did not realize as this was my first time but this place is owned and run by traditional China people. They are very personable and friendly, but this doesn't always fit in with the fast and chaotic pace of an American city. This is not a bad thing mind you, but it should be taken into consideration when ordering from here. Do not expect your food out like an american style "chinese" chain restaurant. Expect to pay a reasonable price, a chilled out wait for whatever dish you order and expect that dish to be prepared with skill and care.Worth the wait to be sure, cannot recommend enough, give it a try if you are in the neighborhood

Amazing. As a Chinese-American girl with Northeast China roots (Harbin, Changchun), I'd say if there's anything I feel somewhat qualified to comment on, it would be noodles and dumplings. This place is the bomb. This shop switched owners years ago, and Chef Ma never bothered to switch the English sign. The Chinese sign has been updated. The actual English name is "Chef Ma Noodle House." Chef Ma makes each bowl of noodles to order by hand. You can see him make it in the back kitchen, but they could certainly up their insta game by improving visibility of the noodle-making magic. I asked him which bowl of noodles was most popular ("on fire," in Chinese), and he said brusquely, nonchalantly that they all were. \\ lamb noodle soup - long thick noodles with a perfect gluteny chew - clear soup with a refreshing clean taste - tender lamb slices A new go-to. Love it!

Deep-fried dough sticks are the best! Also, like Wonton soup and Soy milk!

This is not (yes... Not) Taiwanese Cafe. The reral one and original one is Taiwan Cafe on Plano,TX.
This place is definitely not Taiwanese. The names were confusing but the food and staff were nice. The Savory Egg Pancake is not a Dan Ping! The in-house soy milk definitely hits the spot right.

There’s nothing Taiwanese about this place but the food here is quite good. I’d say they specialize in hand pulled noodle dishes and that’s likely somewhere in northern China. The place smells of cumin and could pass for an Uyghur joint. The staff were not Taiwanese but spoke with a northern China mandarin accent. I had the tomato egg noodle. Flavor was good and noodle were cooked well with a bit of a bounce in the chew, the way I prefer. Though, it lacked tomatoes and eggs. Hardly any bits of either but taste was there so I let it go. I also tried the sausage fried rice which was also tasty. The chicken dish also had an authentic flavor as well as the pig ear appetizer. Prices were very reasonable and the lady behind the counter was courteous and patient. I like this place.

Very delicious and full of flavor. It might look spicy but it’s mild. Love it.
