Teawood is one of my family's new favorites. It's rare to find legit Taiwanese food in SF for some reason, and this place has it. This is what we got:
Fried chicken over minced pork noodle (B02) - really good. Chicken is nicely fried, great flavor, and very juicy. Noodles are really good too, very good texture and flavor.
Popcorn chicken with minced pork rice (RE04) - also super good. Similar to above but with rice and popcorn chicken style.
Braised beef noodle soup (N01) - I really enjoyed this. It has the right taste, the noodles are bouncy, and the meat is very very tender. They also give A LOT of meat.
Fried pork chop curry rice (RE05) - pretty good, for some reason one of my kid's favorites.
So food is really good, though I think the menu could benefit from a redesign because it's confusing to read. But so happy this place is around now. Will definitely be...

My friend's fried chicken noodles had it. It also needed scallions. Overall, good job staff at...
Read moreCute, spacious cafe with fun decor. Since it's a bit new, the staff seemed kind of slow with getting our order out and had to come back to clarify things that were forgotten like iced vs hot drink. The drinks were normal SF pricing and delicious! It was hard to choose from. The food was actually decent pricing for the amount we got. Would recommend the Taiwanese noodles and popcorn chicken. The dessert soup was a miss...got the black mango and black glutinous rice in tofu pudding. Mango wasn't ripe and rice seemed a bit hard. The creme brulee was delicious though. Would go back and excited to try more...
