| - This is my go to place for Taiwanese food in Arizona!
I used to think I loved Chinese food, and then we took a vacation to Taiwan and China. I realized that, while I like Chinese food, I love Taiwanese food! What's the difference? The food in Taiwan is more refined; the flavors are more complex and developed. The Taiwanese dishes aren't covered in thick goopy sauces, so you can actually taste the vegetables and meats.
If you are new to this place, I recommend entering from the outside door rather than from inside the Mekong Plaza. They have several labeled photos of the food that you might miss otherwise.
The staff will be ready to take your order immediately, so you'll need to let them know if you need time &/or help deciding.
The "San Bei Ji" (I think they call it the "house chicken") is phenomenal here!! It has a delicate balance between the Thai basil, Chinese 5 spice, and something else that we haven't been able to replicate at home. It's authentic, so be prepared to eat around the bones. We drive almost an hour to get it, and it's worth the drive!
We order the most unusual and adventurous dishes we can, & have enjoyed every noodle, rice, and vegetable dish we have ordered here.
