I was a regular at Taipei for about seven years before moving out of the area (about 20 minutes away, but far enough where I only eat here now occasionally).
I have to say that having partaken of lots of
Chinese food in the north hills, east end, and downtown, Taipei beats everything. The consistently great flavor of all the dishes is really remarkable. We just grabbed take-out here again and it was superb.
Our go-to's are usually the hot and sour soup (best in Pittsburgh-- with lots of tofu and pork and good texture and spice); pork dumplings; and lo mein.
We also have for years gotten their sesame chicken, which is really unusual. We like to call it "donut chicken"-- it has light breading and sweet and vinegary sauce. It's the best thing we've gotten there.
I've had their sushi in the past and it was very good too, especially their nigiri.
Overall, I'm glad to see Taipei maintain excellent quality for a number of years. Highly recommend this place.
