11/2023: I came back in Nov 2023 and was disappointed. Met my brother's family here, and the food was not up to the previous visit's level. I was embarrassed because I raved about this place in front of my family after I had been there 3 months prior. I will come back next time when I am in town again. I hope to have better luck next time. Because I am still hopeful.
9/2023: We found this location online and came for brunch on Sunday. I have not had Taiwanese food for years, and I was looking forward to trying their offerings. I ordered a little too much for myself and got Taiwanese meat ball, spicy dried Tofu with anchovies, Taiwanese meat sauce over rice with hardboiled egg, and YiMei rice roll with mustard green. I was truly 眼大肚子小 at this point 😂 My companions ordered 4 more items, and we had a table full of goodies. The food was pretty good and very similar to Taiwanese street food taste. I packaged up the leftover and kept thinking next time, we should come with a cooler with ice to get some of these home to AZ. We definitely will be back next time we are in town. EDIT: They do post by the tableside that they charge a 3% fee for non-cash transactions, so pay cash if you wish...
Read moreThis is my personal experience, no mean to be in general or against anyone.
I like their food, as it is very authentic. But I don't really like the way they run the restaurant, and here is a breakdown of why:
There are always people hanging around in the store and speak loudly. It seems to me they are their friend or family. I feel it is just not professional for the arrangement.
They charge 4% of fee if you use credit card, this is insane....They only want to take cash, because I believe that's the way to avoid tax....
They automatically add tips into your bill, and it's like 25%.....even it is only like 15 bucks, it feels sucks when they do that to you. The level of service is not even worth 25% of tips. I understand it's post covid time, all business suffer, but at least show some decency in doing business please....
I will not come back again for sure.....even their food...
