Taipei Chinese Kitchen — Restaurant in Hampden Township

It continues to puzzle me why this area is so lacking good Chinese food. I mean can we have 10% of what we get in Edison NJ or 1% from Chinatown?  By and large, we get only Americanized Chinese food here.  When I saw "Taipei" in this name, I was so excited because I normally associate "Taipei" with Taiwanese cuisine, nothing to do with Americanized Chinese food.  Then I saw it's within the Giant Supermarket so my hope dropped.

We had to talk so loud for her to hear us the guys stopped working and watched us while we were there. Made us feel uncomfortable but they said nothing to her about talking on her phone while waiting on customers. The bourbon chicken we got was so dry we couldn't eat it. Please make them aware of how important customer service is. Not a good...
