The girl at the front was really helpful and offered some suggestions when I asked her favorite menu item. The popcorn chicken was amazing and I will come back when I'm in the area!
The popcorn chicken is iconic, and the people who work here are so nice. The deep fried tofu and string beans are also so so good. I love this place so much!!
Amazing Taiwanese street food. Authentic and takes me back to my childhood at night markets. They are primarily takeout, but right now they allow you to "dine in" on a table to the left of the entrance. Would not come here to dine in, really treat it like street food where you come buy it and eat it while you're walking or find somewhere else to snack.With that in mind though, we still asked to dine in. Our food came in a nice takeout container if we didn't finish and wanted to treat it like street food. However, most notable was that they brought along a container of sanitation wipes because the baos could be a bit messy. Really appreciated that.I miss Taike Tea next door because they were the perfect combo - Taiwanese street food and boba. I wish they would at least add a house milk tea here.Anyways, I always get the popcorn chicken here and it's perfect. The chicken breading is light yet crispy and I love the spice they use.Pictured is the spicy creamy chicken tiger bun. Same chicken style as the popcorn chicken, just a bigger piece and without the added spice. My partner mentioned it's the best bao she's had! We really appreciate the simplicity of meat, salad, and sauce. Then, we made this a combo with waffle fries for a light snack. Waffle fries are pretty standard, but the baos are lovely.
The Chick 8 Beto was very good with the original seasoning although I would go with a spicier seasoning next time. Quiet, super chill, and a little off the beaten path.
Very nice people, very good food. Please support them! Everything I’ve ever had here was great and they are so so nice.
I don't stop in many shops in Seattle, but I make an exception for Taike Kitchen. I suspect it's family run. Why? Because everything is done well, they're johnny on the spot when it comes to the boba tea.Will be back, will be trying the food here soon!
Very authentic Taiwanese food. Fast service and delicious food! Highly recommend their bentos as well (sausage, popcorn chicken,...).
The service was good also the food was great.
YASSSS finally some good Taiwanese street food!! I ordered the popcorn chicken — tastes just like the food at the night market!!! Can’t wait to come back and eat more!
Taike Tea & Taike Kitchen is a really cool idea, but the quality of food is just not there to make this idea successful. The salt and pepper steak is probably the worst tasting thing on the Ave. I want them to be successful, but if they keep that menu, honestly they deserve to fail.
