  • This Chinese "Deli" at the 99 Ranch Market (South end of store) was the former location of Taiwan Express ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/raQFxUEzh8bfHUQLkiNHcg ); and the acquisition by 99 Ranch Market has totally ruined what was unique about the former restaurant / deli! My friend, who lives in Phoenix, introduced me to Taiwan Express around five years ago. He and I used to frequent Taiwan Express a lot mainly for the authenticity of the Taiwanese cooking, and of the Boba (Tapioca) drinks (which is a Taiwan invention). For less than $6 a plate, you would get very authentic meal from a native Taiwanese cook, and sometimes loaded with special ingredients! 99 Ranch Market has totally ruined whatever was unique about Taiwan Express, and has "corporatized" the restaurant / deli. Ranch Market still claims that the dishes are authentic Taiwanese... they're not. You can still get meals in styrofoam for less than $6... now the meals are just generic Chinese. My friend and I refuse to eat here since the acquisition two years ago. Even the Boba drinks have also gone down in quality... Ordered the Iced Boba Milk Tea yesterday evening... Consistency of the Boba balls were a little tough and chewy... But I've got to admit, this place IS better than some trendy Boba locations that are popping up around the ASU, Tempe area. I know Phoenix is not Los Angeles or San Francisco in regards to the size of the Asian population... but you should not pay more than $9 for a whole Roast Duck. $12.50 is just outright theft!!!
