Review

What Customers Say

"To be honest, when I read all the comments, I hesitated before I went in. However, I was really surprised after I have tried by myself. The food quality is really good, they are delicious. I love the oyster noodle with soup and the braised pork rice. HIGHLY recommend the ice black tea!! I saw people comment about the price, tbh, yes it’s not the cheapest, but they are nearly the only Taiwanese restaurant in the centre of London, I don’t expect it will be the same price in Taiwan. But I do agree if 5 for the ice lemon black tea, can have slightly larger amounts. Overall, good experience, I even ordered a take away home for my dad to try!"

"We were stood outside on the street looking for somewhere in the area to eat, a staff member came out and asked if we would like to come in and showed us the menu and prices outside of the building before returning inside, we went into the restaurant and it was relatively quiet at the time which was around 8:30pm, the waitress brought over a menu and gave her recommendations on what she thought we would like, we got the belly pork noodle bowl, green beans in shrimp and chilli oil and boiled dumplings and the food was brilliant. We spent about 33 each for a main, starter and drink which was including a service charge, but with the quick service and lovely attitudes from the staff we really didn’t mind paying for it We paid with card at the end of the meal with no issues and the man who was working behind the counter (presumably the owner) asked us how we found the food and invited us to come back If we are in the area again we would come back 10/10 :)"

"A nice and authentic little place for Taiwanese food. Simple seating, pleasant and attentive service, great flavours. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was great (they can adjust the flavour and spice level to your preference). The brown sugar bubble tea that I got for take-away tasted just right, like in Taiwan (all my previous attempts in London to find the right taste had been unsuccessful). To illustrate the portion size: the beef noodle soup was hearty, and the portion was of a good size, enough for a nice meal (maybe, if you're a huge man, you might want to add something in addition, but I was full). They do accept cards, although cash might be their preference. The trip to the bathroom was a bit of an adventure: it's downstairs where their kitchen is, there was somebody sleeping in the corner with their face covered with a hood Not an issue, just illustrating the ambience so you don't expect a Michelin, this is an authentic little place. I'm looking forward to visiting again when I'm around, to try more of their dishes, as it was a shame I could only fit one dish in me. It's great if you come with company, as then you can try several things at once!"

"Found this place unintentionally. We were going to another restaurant but it was full, so we were strolling around trying to find a new place. It was a great discovery! We didnt expect much, but the food was veeeeery nice. I've been to Taiwan, and the food there was a bit bland to my personal taste, but I loved the food here! It was very flavorful. The fried chicken was banging! Highly recommend The noodle dish had rich soup, and the beef was tender. The bun was great. The bubble tea was not sweet, which is nice (it's very sweet where I come from). I was surprised to see that the rating for this restaurant is only 3-ish. The staff was nice. They were not all smiley but were polite. The downside is that the venue is quite small and they dont take card payments. But can pay in cash (pounds or euro) or bank transfer *Edit: Forgot to mention. We paid 35 pounds for 2 people. The noodle dish we shared was big. I believe I couldnt finish one bowl by myself."
