We discovered this restaurant through Yelp a few weeks ago and since my husband's family is Taiwanese, we decided to give it a try. According to them, this restaurant has authentic Taiwanese fare.I thought their beef noodle soup and tonkatsu (Japanese porc) were both fantastic. I loved that the owner suggested we share different items on the menu.
The best part was that he mentioned they could cook family-styled Taiwanese meals that were off the menu if we were a group of 7 or more and if we gave them a 48 hr notice. We made a reservation two days ago and today, we were surprised with a series of authentic home-cooked dishes with extremely fresh ingredients. The dishes weren't too salty and the ingredients were maybe 70% vegetarian, so it was very healthy overall. In addition, the owner wrote down the dishes we had today such that if we were to return in a month, he would make sure we would try a whole set of different dishes. How amazing is that?
At the end, we ordered the specially made UFO cakes. You should definitely try the custard ones, they are best when freshly baked! The taro and red bean ones are good too. If they happen to have a freshly baked batch of pineapple cake, make sure to get one or two of those as well.
The restaurant is a bit out of the way and lacks in ambiance, but this mom and pop shop is a nice little discovery where you are sure to try out really authentic Taiwanese fare for a reasonable price. It might not be the place for a fancy date, but for a bunch of foodie friends who just want to try something new, or a Chinese family who just wants healthy home cooked food, I think this place is worth trying out.
