Popcorn chicken was good value, but not my favorite in the city. That being said, very yummy and I liked that you could control how spicy and seasoned it was. A filling snack for two!

The fried chicken is pretty good here. We had the mango shaved ice $10, popcorn chicken $10, XXL Chicken Thigh $10. The XXL beast one was sold out due to shortages. Their seasoning reminded me of food from Quickly's. The portions are good for what you pay for. Please note, there's no longer a cashier. You have to order through an ipad type of device. Which is kind of weird.

A right place if you missed Taiwanese street food

Kitchen seems understaffed with only 1 person preparing food and packing, got my order wrong. Chicken cutlet is pretty authentic and good, braised pork over rice is too sweet and not the traditional flavour.

Authentic Taiwan sense street food. I thought I was in a night market in Taiwan when I tasted their oyster mee sua. The broth is rich, creamy, and hearty. The fried chicken breast is crispy, tender, and juicy. The shaved ice is also very good. I just wish their quality is more consistent. Once in a while their oyster mee sua was too peppery. Other than that, very good food.

Glad there’s finally a greatTaiwanese restaurant at Stonesstown in SF; convenient on 19th Ave! I’m from LA and have been looking in SF for delicious Taiwanese food.and I found it. Hallelujah! Shih Lin serves great popcorn chicken, oh a mi sua. Grandmas ground pork rice

They probably have the most authentic Taiwanese popcorn chicken I’ve had in the Bay Area. With the combo, you could have a good amount of popcorn chicken, veggies, sides, and rice. I also recommend sweet potato fries. So yummy!

We bought it on site and ended up with a meal that didn't include fried mushrooms!Told the shop owner to return the money of fried mushrooms, but the shop owner did not give the money back, insisted on giving us a new fried. We rush to take my dog to hospital, but we have to wait other 30 min for the shop to re-fried the mushroom.

Good popcorn chicken. So far the best one out there among others.

As Taiwanese, I’m kind of disappointed. Ordered Oyster Mee-Sua, 85% soup with “3”oysters, and they charge extra for cilantro and garlic!! Really!? CILANTRO AND GARLIC are the base ingredients for Mee-Sau, and they charge extra!?. Also ordered XXL Chicken, is ok, not too bad, but need more flavor. Crispy Mushroom is good, Braised meat over rice 4/5 stars. Drinks....soso. I rather drive to south for better Taiwanese food.
