| - alright, so this place is one of the only taiwanese joints here in vegas.
i believe there's one other place.
i can safely say that we eat here more for that reason than any other.
being taiwanese, i need my fix every once and awhile, ya know what i'm sayin.
however, if it was really terrible, i think we'd pass it up no matter what.
that said, here's what i think about the place.
the beef noodle soup is quite good as far as i'm concerned.
the broth is fresh and just spicy enuf.
yum!
however the beef is a bit tough.
the noodles are very plentiful.
the pork noodle soup is delish.
the pork chops are good but better on certain days.
the popcorn chicken is alright, not crunchy enuf for me.
the sizzling steak or chicken served with noodles, an egg and your choice of sauce, black pepper or sweet tomato, is very tasty and well worth the whoppin $8.95.
but be sure to ask for the sauce on the side cuz otherwise you get soggy noodles.
the ba bao fan (i don't know how to say it in english) is pretty good.
the rice in bamboo something or other is also very good.
i think it's the sauce that does it for us.
the rest of it is just a vehicle to get the sauce into your mouth.
ha!
their drinks are typically taiwanese, not much fresh fruit, mostly powder and flavoring.
the boba is a bit overcooked.
as for the service, the girls are all very sincere and friendly.
they're not very prompt and don't have their attention on the dining floor as much as they should but the place is still fairly new, surely working out some kinks.
one thing that i'd love to suggest to them is that they need to divide their staff up a bit more evenly.
each time we go, there's always 3 girls behind the counter making drinks and only 1 girl taking orders and expediting food delivery.
there really only needs to be one drink maker.
all in all, we'll definitely continue to eat here.
the food is satisfying and the prices are decent.
so, that's my .02.
UPDATE: we've eaten here a million times since i posted this review and it seems that i've made it my comfort food joint of choice. we always get the beef soup with clear noodles now and the minced pork with rice. both delicious! i've had the stinky tofu but i'm not a fan of stinky tofu so....enh. now they serve the popcorn chicken spicy so i'm liking that a lot more. still, can't wait to eat at the one in taiwan.
