Read moreShihlin Taiwanese Street Snacks is always a go-to favorite for me, but this particular location stands out because of the warm, personal customer service. Every visit feels like more than just grabbing a quick bite—it feels like I’m genuinely welcomed.

Read moreTo start, Shihlin is such a great savory snack. I love Shihlin and if I see a Shihlin, I’m probably going to get some popcorn chicken. This Oakridge location is one of my favorite and if I’m at Oakridge, I AM going to Shihlin. Out of all the mall snacks at Oakridge, Shihlin is the best.

If you still need convincing, they are always giving out samples. Stop by Oakridge Shihlin - I...
