    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

    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.

The Wok is one of those places, and Sichuan/Chongqing food is one of those things that I'm jealous of people who get to experience it for the first time. Here's how to have an epic time at The Wok: Step 1. Get 4 to 8 people total that aren't afraid to try something a little different and maybe slightly spicy (seriously though it's not actually that spicy). If you need help with this step message me, I'd share a meal with some random people if it's at The Wok. Step 2. Flip to the back page of the menu, and order a few things that sound good to the group. Don't waste your time with the American Chinese menu (even though what I've had off of that menu is actually really good too). Make sure to get a decent mix of stuff like appetizers, veggies, noodle, soup, and meat dishes. Also don't be afraid to order multiple times. This gives you more time with the menu, and you can judge what sounds good in the moment. Step 3. Share the food family style with everyone until you are all full. I think at this point I've eaten everything on the Sichuan menu, and can say that if it sounds good to you, it is! Some of my favorite dishes are: Wontons in Chili oil, Bone in chicken wings, Spicy boiled fish fillet, Beef noodle soup, Green beans, Salt and Pepper tofu, Dan dan noodles, and Mapo Tofu. Finally, Janet (the manager) is amazing, and always willing to give a recommendation.

The Chow Mein looks appetizing but bland. Had a few pieces of shrimp but shrimp tasted like it's been in the freezer for a while; had a freezer burnt baking soda flavor. The Wor Wonton Soup broth was not seasoned well. The wonton filling was also just ok. Fish was the better of the dishes. Tender fillet cut into bite size. Had some soy based sauce and green onions.

I love the ysage of red carpet and red table cloth, elegantly. We share the Fish Mawl soup, knowing that it's portion might be big for 2. The ingredients were selective, served with red venigar and black pepper, simple but tasty. For entrees, we shared the Seafood Panfried and Soft Noodles, Prawns in Salt and Pepper, and the Specialty Snowpa Tips in Farlic Sauce. It was a perfect meal. We didn't realize the portions were sizable for just two of us, but delicious. The jasmine tea, the friendly service, and the ambience created such a harmony dining experience.

The bar side have bar seats, some bar gambling game tops and some small lounging tables. They do take-out, just call your order in. Don't blink, you might pass this gem right by.
