There are so many things that make a restaurant special, it's not just about good food.... it's about hospitality too! I was very pleased to stumble upon tings kitchen (former china star) on yelp. My mom and I were looking for a place to have dinner tonight and I suggested we go here.
When we arrived we were warmly greeted by the owner and taken to our seats. Our waitress came over and also warmly greeted us. She was very enthusiastic and eager to explain the menu items to us! I loved that. It makes me excited when other people find joy in talking about things they love. They are getting a new menu that will feature more Taiwanese style dishes! I can't wait to try it. Let's talk about the food!!
I ordered the lamb in sichuan style (17.95), the lamb was thinly sliced and was mixed with veggies with a hint of spice. It also comes with a side of rice. My mom ordered the zha jiang noodles with ground pork. It comes with brown sauce! The portions are really large, which is always a plus. I did give my moms dish a try and I loved it! So tasty!! Our waitress was nice enough to bring out a few dishes for us to sample different Taiwanese style foods. The one plate was filled with Taiwanese Chicken Steak (amazing), there was nothing boring about this chicken and it was extremely flavorful! The second bowl was noodle soup with pork and shrimp also very delicious! The last plate was the Taiwanese Pork Buns, these were also very tasty and a bit crispy which I like! To end this fabulous dinner she brought out Taiwanese grass/honey jelly and lemon jelly for dessert. I gave the grass/honey jelly a try, but couldn't get onboard with it, but I loved the lemon jelly!!
I would highly recommend coming to this restaurant if you are looking for an authentic meal and friendly service! I will be coming back and with my friends:)
