I love their fried chicken fillet. It is crispy and tender with good amount of flavor. They have a wide variety of braised food. The veggies in the braised sauce/soup is so delicious! Braised food is $14.99/lb which I found not too bad. The capsules are cute! And I love the mandarin songs they play in the store.

Pretty good food! Chicken is very tender and pork is quite delicious

My favourite here.

Tears down everytime while having popcorn chicken QwQ

Authentic Taiwanese food. Very good! Will recommend.

Authentic Taiwanese food with great service, highly recommend!

'Tis a quaint little lovely shop,Tucked away in the U-District mob.Tho there ain't much in the look,Once you try it you can't stop.I've been to this restaurant a few times, and here are my two cents:Pros:1.) It tastes great and authentic.2.) the food is prepared and presented with mindfulness one canappreciate.3.) The raw ingredients are displayed in orderly and cleanarrangements, without being in-your-face with bulk. I believe theidea is to maintain freshness with on-demand replenishment.4.) There's a simple elegance in the interior decor. I think everyonecan acknowledge the tidiness of this place.5.) Some very good selection of fried finger foods, and the braised porkon rice is always a good choice.Cons:1.) Short working hours due to staffing issues.2.) One would certainly hope for a greater variety of raw ingredients,but I think that's mainly due to the pervasive supply chain woes.3.) Not the most eye-catching establishment from the outside, andeven when you look through the front window there's an obnoxiouswall covering half of the vantage.4.) The raw ingredients could use some more exaggerated/appetizinglabels.Overall: it's a gem once you give it a try.

Very authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Their fried goodies (not shown in pic) are the best on the Ave!

We had a great lunch here today. Taiwanese braised food is similar to hot pot, but more flavorful because of sauces and cooking style. Meals are fresh and yammy as well as everyone can decide the spicy level -- its good for customization. Last, I really like the braised pork over rice and (fried) mac & cheese. I cannot wait to visit it AGAIN!!!

The braised food tastes very good! So do the popcorn chicken, french fries, and other fried foods? Highly recommended!!
