I went on a weekend as soon as they opened and was able to get a seat but they filled up fast. I got the cold soy milk which was subtle and nice on a hot day. I got the wontons with chili oil and the beef noodle soup both I enjoyed they had good flavors. The noodles had a nice chewy texture with a lovely broth and the egg was jammy and delicious along with a flavorful broth. The service was nice and friendly. The shop is small and split into two sides theres a sign telling you to check in and they tell you where to sit.

Solid Taiwanese food. Arrive earlier than your planned mealtime so you can scan the QR code and join the waitlist. The beef noodle soup set for two was a LOT of food. Every dish was well-made. I personally don’t vibe with some of the spice blends here, but it boils down to preference, as every restaurant has their own recipe. The aroma from the beef noodle soup hits you as soon as it gets dropped on the table, mostly from star anise and doubanjiang. Flavor-wise, the broth’s heavy on the dried chilies, used for its fruitiness rather than spiciness, and it was noticeably too salty. Personally, I prefer a spice blend that leans towards the warming side, especially if it contains dried tangerine peels; the broth here runs in the opposite direction. Again, well-made but boils down to personal preferences. The beef shank was cooked perfectly, tender with streaks of gelatin evenly interspersed. The lu rou fan was comforting. This is the everyday meal in Taiwan. Braised slightly-sweet spiced pork over rice, what not to like? The version here was a bit too aggressive with the five-spice, but otherwise perfect. Chili oil wonton had a LOT of aromatics mixed into the filling. The cool, refr

This really surprised me - I liked it a lot. I thought it would be pretty mid/normal Taiwanese breakfast but it was great. The yo tiao in the fan Tuan was super crispy and delicious. The radish cake was a favourite. The savory soy milk and sweet were great. The breakfast roll was good. The breakfast for 2 was super big, and was enough for 3 of us. We got there at 11am on a Sunday and waited around 35 mins. There’s a waitlist so you can walk around while you wait and they’ll text you.

The food is decent enough and authentic until you get to prices. 6 dollars for generic youtiao is insane. 6 dollars for soy milk is equally insane. Altogether 12 dollars for doujiang youtiao. Fantuan for 8???? And honestly I would've accepted it, because it's Manhatten and it's pretty bog standard decent and homemade. But the 22 dollars for the beef noodle soup? Would have been fine too - and maybe it was an off day - but that has got to be the worst beef noodle soup I've had in my life. It actually tasted like straight soy sauce with noodles. I could somehow taste the soy sauce and the bland stock separately. The beef was decent but they skimp hard. I'm not asking for it to taste like the spots in Taiwan or cost that but it's incredibly disappointing given the reputation. Not worth the wait. Not worth the price.

Got the breakfast set for 2, and it was okay. Didn’t love the sweet soy milk, and the fried dough was way too crunchy in the fan Tuan and savory soy milk soup. The texture in the soup was really cool, since the soy milk was slightly coagulated like a very soft tofu (which is exactly what it is) and the scallion pancake was fine and the radish cake was pretty good. Service was not great - servers forgot about dishes for almost everyone in the restaurant, it took 20 minutes to be seated in a half full restaurant, and another 20 to get our check after asking. Would not come back, but it was interesting to try!
