Came here for The Happy Crane tasting menu. Great venue for traditional but modern atmosphere. The food was a bit small in portions since it's shares between two. Some dishes were not super flavorful, but could definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients. I wished the crudo and cod were more unique and flavored, the cocktails I would say were not worth. Dimsum and other beef dishes were very well done and not too salty. Dessert is a naughty one and a bit weird, but I can see the appeal to those who like sweets. Overall a lovely 3 hr experience spent with my company for the night.

I went here with one of my friends today and the lady that helped us was incredibly nice and helpful, we were paying together but wanted separate change and she helped us with that. The food we got was so good! We got only the garlic waffle fries but they were so good and they gave us such a nice amount. She also gave us separate bags to eat from when we didn't even realize we should ask for it. The decorations were super cute as well with smiley faces and the colors went together so well. The prices were incredibly reasonable for the amount given. I am definitely going back next time I visit SF.

Very delicious Taiwanese food. My only complaint is that the food is served in plastic bowl for dine in guests too.

I work out of town a lot, and happened to be nearby and chose it on a whim. Man was I glad! Perfect portions, everything was tasty, and it left me happy. If I could have nothing but this for the rest of my life, I'd be good. The peachy green tea was absolutely amazing, and It sort of doubles as a dessert if you forget to use the straw like I do. The wait wasn't bad either, and I showed up right before closing. One thing, I only got chop sticks. Sort of a personal downfall though; only knowing how to use a fork! Over all it was amazingly good, and it sort of brought up my work day from gloomy to good. :)

I really like the sweet potato fries with plum powder, definitely bring me back to Taiwan, but all other food or drink were just average, popcorn chicken was flavorless and the texture was very firm, same thing with the teriyaki chicken. The boba was smaller than what I usually get, and the flavor was just meh….

The drink is half the size compare to Gong Cha, but cute cup. Popcorn chicken was tasteless.

The food was delicious, especially the fried chicken.

The pork rice bowl was good but the chicken nuggets was alright. It was not spicy at all. May have forgotten to put the hot pepper.

Great little Taiwanese place nestled in downtown SF. Authentic Taiwanese bento that taste yummy and nicely presented. Got their beef rice, and the sauce was on the side, which I appreciated so it doesn't make the rice soggy. The tea was good too. Next time we're in the area I'll come back again. There's dine in, but you'll need to show proof of vaccination.

There is so much potential! First time customer and we decided to do delivery. Standout: popcorn chicken. Would not change a thing. Crispy and full of flavor. Solid amount too. The sweet potato fries were a tad too salty but otherwise, good flavor and good amount. The beef rice dish was decent, the flavor is definitely there but the beef/sauce is too salty - had to water it down and separate it from the sauce. The pickled cabbage and braised tofu in the rice are so delish, wish there was more. Now the boba, it was delish - strong but for $6, the size is too small. Overall, we enjoyed everything but there is definitely room for improvement!
