    First time here because it's nearby my boyfriend's house and we were hungry. Didn't know theres a Taiwanese food here. Small shop, but the food was good. Shoutout to Tracy as the server! Greeted us as we walked in and when we left. She took our order quick and food came out quick. Please tip them well! It's a small shop!

    Their food is good and quick! The railroad pork chop noodles are yummy as is their fish fillet. Nice and fluffy.

    Best Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken and Sausage Fried Rice! It's been 6-7 years since I've last been here. I actually stopped coming as I had brought a friend (their first time here) and the server was so utterly rude that I didn't want to go back. I was sad, because I loved their food, but I couldn't disregard how badly they mistreated us. I also usually have a pretty high tolerance for bad service and don't make too much of a fuss about it. Time heals all wounds. I was in the area and decided to bring my wife. I ordered my previous favorites and some new dishes. Surprisingly, everything tasted the way I remembered it. This time I didn't encounter disrespectful servers. We ordered so much food, that we had a ton of leftovers that we brought to my parents and siblings. They all commented that the sausage fried rice was really good. Sometimes fried rice can be an afterthought, so that speaks volumes. The popcorn chicken here is also my favorite. I'm somewhat of a popcorn connoisseur and theirs is just perfect. All the flavors and seasonings are on point. There's plenty of crunch and chew. I make this at home, but I can't figure out how to replicate their recipe. Now this is just popcorn chicken, so don't expect a life changing dish. So many places just make mid or underwhelming popcorn chicken... I expect that I'll be back in the near future.
