    We came to 101 Taiwanese Cuisine because of the good reviews and had pretty high expectations, especially seeing how busy the restaurant was. Once we were seated, our order was taken almost immediately. Service was efficient and prompt. It wasn't particularly friendly, but it wasn't rude either, it felt very much like the staff was focused on turning tables quickly, which is understandable when a place is that busy. What I didn't expect was the flavors of the dishes. Each one seemed to have an unusual sweetness that didn't feel typical for Taiwanese food. From the Mapo Tofu to the salted fish fried rice and even the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, they all had a noticeable sweetness to them. Maybe I'm a bit spoiled by the variety of Asian food options we have living in the San Francisco Bay Area, but the flavors here just didn't quite match what I usually expect from Chinese/Taiwanese

    Wontons in Chili Oil and Szechuan Eggplant with Minced Pork

    101 Taiwanese continues to serve the most delicious, savory food in the quickest fastest and still hot way I have ever encountered. The food comes out so fast and it's so fresh and so hot, how do they do it? And better yet how do other places not emulate the speed and hustle of the service? We tried a couple new dishes, the chicken katsu for example was hefty and a delicious sauce. We also had the chow mein noodles which are served with an egg and extremely flavorful, they are similar to the garlic noodles but with less garlic and more bells and whistles. The Szechuan eggplant is so soft and tender and juicy. The pepper pork dish is one of our favorites so much flavor and the peppers stay so perfectly crisp. My only gripe is it's all on the super salty side! And the garlic does stay on your breath for way too long. But worth it for how delicious, filling and tasty everything is, and such a great value only $25 a person for such a variety of food and dishes. Love coming back to 101 time and time again!

    Braised Beef Noodle Soup

    One of alternative fix from a hangover outside pho. The broth is a little spicy but it is delicious. The braised beef was really tender. Service is very attentive and the lady that serves us was really nice. The ambiance is nice, got lucky it was not busy. Only issue is the water they gave us, i think they didn't rinse the bottle well. We can taste the soap. But, we ended up ordering some smoothie and matcha.

    I was looking for something to eat outside the casino and found this on Yelp. The patrons were all Chinese so I had high expectations. I tried their beef brisket noodles (because that's what Taiwan is known for) and the brisket was very tender. The noodles were bouncy and had a good bite to them. I wish there were more greens in the soup. The tomato and beef noodles were delicious! It was sweet, savory, and had a good tang. There beef rolls had carrots and cucumbers in them which gave a great contrast to the richness of the beef. Definitely recommend. 9/10.

    Quick service and amazing food. Will you again! The menu has lots of options and the staff is helpful with explaining

    Located right near the casinos in an unassuming plaza, 101 Taiwanese Cuisine would be easy to miss. However, the food is amazing, and you would do well to try it out! Inside, there're Chinese menu items all along the wall, with a nice and intimate vibe. The server was nice, and we were seated quickly. I got the build your own combo with popcorn chicken and the beef noodle soup. Everything in the combo was tasty, but I do wish that the vegetables were unsalted, since everything else has a very strong flavor. I would definitely go again!

    Loved the food here! It was really crowded but the staff was managing well! The best thing is that they offer discounts to UNR students! The food is tasty, quality is amazing and quantity is good as well!

    I had such high hopes for this place, and we ordered a lot of different dishes to try. There was a long line to eat here, so I really thought the food would be amazing. Unfortunately, the flavors were quite different from what I expected. The food wasn't bad, but it tasted different from what I'm used to. The popcorn chicken was more on the sweet side rather than savory. The fried rice was okay but not very flavorful. The zha jiang mian was also sweeter than expected. Usually the ones I've had in Asia are very savory. I've even had zha jiang mian in Alameda, California, and that version was savory, not sweet at all. At one point my husband even wondered if they might have accidentally used sugar instead of salt. The mapo tofu was also a bit too sweet. The best one was the beef noodle soup. That was 7/10 it was my favorite out of all. In general, we didn't enjoy the food very much. The service was okay. I understand they were very busy, so it's understandable. The restaurant itself is clean but extremely packed and busy.

    Green beans with pork and shrimp fried rice
    Tiana J.

    The food was really good. I chose the shrimp fried rice which was flavorful and my partner chose the pork with green beans. I really liked that the pork was small and the green beans were well cooked. I also tried scallion pancakes for the first time and really liked them, they were crispy and flaky. Service was fast and friendly. Seating is tight but it has cute vibes.

    Came here because of the high reviews and it did not disappoint. We tried the beef noodle soup, braised beef bento box, popcorn chicken, and milk tea--everything tasted authentic and flavorful. Service was fast and friendly, and the food came out quickly. Overall a solid spot and definitely worth checking out if you're craving comfort food done right.

    My favorite Taiwanese restaurant in town, the food is great and authentic, paired with boba tea makes it even better! The staff is really nice and helpful, always stay on top of things.

    As a Bay Area native, I can say this def did not do it for us. Service initially was ok, as we were the second party to enter upon opening at 4:30 pm. We were seated and given water and perused their menu. After our order was taken and food was brought to us, no one ever checked on us and food was average at best and greasy. In order to pay for our dinner, I had to go to the front counter and flag someone down. Restaurant was clean and seating was okay. There are def better places to eat in the Reno area so I don't know how they even get 3 stars. Items ordered: Lychee tea with 25% sweet x2- average Fish congee- Texture was too thick and it did not have any flavor. They also put corn in this and it would have been fine had the corn had any flavor. Bland corn is def not gonna work. Wonton noodle soup- bland and too much white pepper but amount of wontons given were good and plenty of bean sprouts (which is not usually included in wonton noodle soup). Scallion pancake- way too greasy Popcorn chicken- was just okay and at least it was crispy Garlic noodles- Average and too greasy Salt and pepper pork chops without spice- Another greasy dish but at least it tasted like 5 spice Pan fried pork buns- Where do I even start with this mess?! Def not what we were used to. They were not crispy on the bottom, meat filling was dry and bland. Ended up with indigestion from the grease.

    Taiwanese eatery with plenty of options to choose from, starting with snacks, appetizers, drinks, noodles, to rice plates and stir fry dishes. We came by with a party of 4 on a friday night, they had a lot of options with great choices for combinations/BYO sets. Customer service is overall friendly, and quick. The food comes out super fast, so most of the dishes are prepped in advance. While the variety is great and service is quick, the quality of the food is not as amazing. We ordered a lot of food ranging from their taiwanese pig intestine/oyster noodle soup, to the sets with the braised beef noodle soup. Salt and pepper chicken wings, popcorn chicken, boba milk tea, chicken cutlets, minced pork over noodles and even garlic vegetable stir fry. Great spread of food, but the taste individually was just okay. The taiwanese noodles are a famous and iconic dish, but the soup and noodles were too clumpy, i can still see bits and small lumps of the cornstarch. The taste was a bit on the more tart/sour side in comparison to it being more savory. We were looking forward to it a lot, but was kind of let down. The braised beef noodle soup wasn't bad, the noodles had a great texture, beef was okay, but the portion was kind of small, a lot of soup though, it was great for the colder weather. The chicken wings were a major let down. The chicken themselves were very bland, while crispy, there was no taste to it inside or out, it was as if they were never marinaded or seasoned. And for some reason it had a very gamey taste to it. It came with a lot of peppers, onions, and garlic, which were great additions but the chicken itself were very disappointing and we couldn't finish it. The chicken cutlet was okay, it was juicy, but a lot of breading over it, and for some reason that same tart/sourness came from the chicken. I didn't get a stomachache afterwards but it definitely tasted weird. I wonder if it was from the 5-spice seasoning but it was definitely more tart and pungent than what I am normally used it. The mined pork over noodles were also kind of a let down, I was looking forward to more of a braised pork/zha jian mian/dan dan mian type of dish but there wasn't that great of a taste to it. Just tasted like soy stir fry pork over noodles with chili oil. It was bland and not what we were looking for. Honorable mention, the milk teas tasted like a dessert, so it was a treat! The pickled vegetables that came with the sets of dishes were great, very refreshing and had a good balance of sour and salty to it. The soy boiled eggs were good too. The sides were great, but the main dishes we ordered were just not what we were expecting. The food is definitely edible, and maybe we just ordered the wrong dishes or we came on an off day, but we would only come back if it was the only place open or closest to our stay.

    It has been awhile since I have had boba. My friend and I were nearby and wanted to get something…read more We were greeted by a new staff in the back. I got the crème brûlée milk tea and my friend got the classic milk tea with boba. I very disappointed. There was barely any ice and the bottom half of the drink was thick and warm. It is the worst drink I have ever had. I am not sure how she made it, but it tasted like warm eggnog. Nothing in it tasted like milk tea. My friend said hers was not very good either. This classic regular milk tea should be the simplest to make, but she was very disappointed as well. The boba was also not good. Honestly, I don't think the person who made my drink knew how to make it. She was the only person running the place. I would not come back after this experience.

They even have an air hockey and foosball table. The fact that they have halo halo drinks is definitely a plus in my book because I've been craving it and I can't find Halo halo anywhere in Reno. They had two options: Taro/Ube or Buko Pandan. I went with the Buko Pandan (if you know, you know). And my husband got the Tiger smoothie. The halo halo isn't the traditional dessert where you use a spoon and eat it, BUT I love the convenience of it being a drink and using the same ingredients anyway. I do like the Buko Pandan flavor so next time I'm going to try the Ube. The Tiger smoothie was also really delicious! You can taste both the Thai tea and the milk. It was on the sweeter side, but was still pretty delicious. There was only one employee working the store so it did take a while because a lot of other people showed up after us. But I'll definitely be back to try more things!

Parking is very easy in the shopping center lot. Honey Bakers is a small shop where you order to-go. Highlights The location offers a range of dim sum standards (har gow, siu mai, sticky rice, etc.) that you can order on demand. Around Autumn festival time, there are also mooncakes and other traditional pastries, with lotus, black bean, red bean, taro, egg custard, and other fillings. There is also a long specialty menu of sweet and savory "buns," including steamed and baked char siu bao, coconut pineapple, red bean, and chicken. I don't think I've ever seen so many options in one place, amazing! Turnaround time is pretty fast as well. Lowlights The dim sum prices are "boutique," and by that, I mean much more expensive than dim sum restaurants I've been to. Dim sum doesn't have that many offerings around here, and so you pay for the convenience. The buns are more reasonably priced, but the fillings are on the low side, and some aren't quite as fresh or tasty as I'm used to. Again, demand often impacts these factors, so I can appreciate a small business has to balance things. Overall, a convenient option if you're craving dim sum or Chinese sweets.
