Family owned restaurant that I have been eating at for over 20 years. They had different locations in flushing and then in Bayside. Food is authentic and delicious, and you can't beat it. One of our favorite places. read more

Nan Bei Ho offers consistently decent Taiwanese-style eats. Although I have never dined inside this location, the restaurant itself is small, wooden in decor, and clean. Street parking along this stretch of 48th Avenue is metered and typically taken, which may be an issue on weekends. Today I ordered stinky tofu, paigu fan (pork chop over rice), and the chicken with string beans lunch special, and the total price came out to $37, same price cash or credit. I've been ordering take-out from them since they were located in Flushing, before they moved to Bayside. They have their popular dishes down like Chris Jerhico on a wrestling mat and typically have the food prepared and ready to go before you can say Kane has lost another wrestling match. Although the owners may not be particularly warm, the food is, and it's consistently tasty, too, so as long as management keeps prices reasonable, I will continue returning. read more

One of the most authentic Taiwanese restaurants in New York. We frequently visit this establishment and have tried almost every item on the menu. Here are the go to items: BREAKFAST / APPETIZERS 1. Sweet tofu puddling. The tofu is extremely soft and made fresh. This is only available on weekends. If you arrive after 11:30am, the tofu will most likely be sold out. So get there early!! 2. Sweet or salty soybean milk. Very authentic and made fresh. Also a weekend only items. However this item may be available after 11:30am ;-) 3. Sweet or salty rice roll. Also made fresh and available only on weekends. Tastes like ones from Taiwan. It's a must have breakfast item. These also sell out by noon. 4. Stinky tofu. Super authentic and tasty. Highly recommend you order it. 5. Spicy beef pancakes. A bit high on MSG / salt... but it's super tasty. The spice is just right if you can handle spicy. 6. Popcorn chicken. It's super flavorful and tasty. Eat it while it's hot!! LUNCH / DINNER 1. Taiwanese pork chop over rice. The pork chop is tender and filled with spices. The aged egg is super tasty. They are also very generous with their servings; guaranteed to fill you up!! 2. Beef noodle soup. The soup is very flavorful and boiled for multiple hours if not days. You're guaranteed to slurp your noodles with the soup. It's the ideal meal for the winter. 3. Casseroles, hot and sour soup, all the family meal items... All of them are great!! Realistically, all items on this restaurant are great EXCEPT FOR: soup dumplings (xiao long bao). They should really remove it from their menu. The soup dumplings are extremely dried. The skin of the dumplings are hard as it taste like it's made out of hard dough. Serving this dish ruins their brand and reputation. Price is fair. Service is excellent. Staff is very friendly. Minor downside is the staff is not too fluent in English. Most important of all, the restaurant is SUPER CLEAN. You can tell how clean the restaurant is by visiting their restroom(s). Nan Bei Ho's restroom is so clean that you can eat off the floor. Enough said. Give this place a try. read more

I think this place is much better than Shanghai you. very neighborhood type of restaurant with authentic Taiwanese and northern Chinese food. I'm surprised I never write a review and I do come here a couple of times a month next time I will add photos and more detail. read more

My favorite taiwanese spot in queens. Probably the best in NYC. Of course you must try the pork chop over rica. Do not forget about the stinky tofu. The beef noodles is also great. read more

I truly love the food from this place. My family has been coming to Nan Bei Ho back when they were in flushing. We love the food here. Food is a solid 4.5. Stinky tofu is great, shredded bean curd with pork is another popular dish in our family. We also love their breakfast items! But where it all goes wrong for me - I quite literally do not understand the thought process behind how they're charging their customers. They've increased prices several times over the last few years which fine between inflation and covid we've been understanding. When things began opening up after covid restrictions lifted, they got rid of the covid surcharges and then added a credit card fee. Then, last time I went the credit card fee was gone. Today I went in and surprise their credit card fees (3.5%) are back. It's always a guessing game on what additional fees I'll have added to my bill it seems like especially over the last three years. It just seems to be getting out of hand. read more

Great place to grab taiwanese food from! Although the quality and deal sometimes varies depending on the item Scallion pancake was great! read more

They were open for weekend breakfast during covid. I got the savory sticky rice roll, although not the best I had, it wasn't too bad. The roll was nicely packed with a good ratio of filling vs rice, and had all the flavors I expected. The only con was that the fried crueler was soggier and oldish. I also got a savory radish sou bing. It's pretty much a flaky pastry with radish shavings. The flavoring of the inside was good, the pastry exterior wasn't a good flakey texture. I also tried the sweet soy milk which decent. The cons: They forgot an item that I ordered and we weren't able to go back to get it. Apparently they also increased the price by 10% due to covid, but failed to mention that to us when we placed the order on the phone. read more

We were big fan of 南北和 in Flushing and were so bummed when they closed years ago. Ltttle did we know they have moved to Bayside! Hubby loves their pot sticker 開口鍋貼and had been in search for good ones for years! THANK GOD for Tik Tok, he saw a post last night and we went this morning for breakfast. As 'usual' I got my favorite salty tofu pudding while hubby opted for the cold soy drink. The scallion pancake rolled with beef was so good, also like the tasty radish sou bing. And the pot sticker still as good as we remembered. Needless to say, we will be frequent this joint once again! read more

The most authentic Taiwanese food joint in the area. I have been eating at this place since this place was in Flushing (years and YEARS ago). The best stinky tofu. I also recommend the beef stew noodle soup and the pork egg thick noodle soup. The dishes are delicious as well. Garlic eggplant, loofah melon, eggplant with shrimp, hot and spicy stinky tofu. The free soup is also delicious. read more

Located in a more residential area of Flushing, this is a one stop shop for Taiwanese breakfast, street food favorites, and crossover Chinese home style cooking. Weekends can be crowded for Taiwanese breakfast but I've only recently been going for large takeout orders for their dinner menu. There's been about a 10% markup on the menu since the pandemic, but what was once amazing value is now just a reasonable price for authentic dishes done right (their family meal option was a pick three entrees with soup and rice out of a list around 70 items previously at $34 now at $43) The only item I would pass over is the Taiwanese popcorn chicken since breading is more akin to the kind for Americanized sweet and sour chicken and they use breast meat rather than thigh meat so it was quite underwhelming. Will have to sample some more competitors to see how they stack up in the Taiwanese foodie-verse in Flushing but they are a friendly local joint trying to stay afloat so definitely worth stopping in for old school authentic fare at decent value. read more

3 stars for fashioned family food. 4 stars for service. The boss lady is super sweet. She chats with customers like hosting a family meal at home. Very smart approach. The chive pan fried bun is very pleasant. Taiwan Xiao Long Bao is dfferent from Shanghai Xiao Long Bao. It is tastier when it cold. read more

Nan Bei Ho - Stinky tofu - Taiwanese Near Me - Bayside, New York

Good service, very average/workmanlike food. It's always nice to see a Taiwanese spot as I'm always hankering for some of my native comfort food. I've been to different iterations of this place in Flushing and etc, and the Bayside version was ok, but not great in terms of the food The radish pastry I had was the best part of the meal. It was flaky and tasty even if it was a bit on the crude side versus other places in terms of size. The pan fried dumplings were fairly greasy and didn't really have any kind of memorable or discernible flavor. Same goes for the soup dumplings which were also crude, with extremely thick skin, low quality meat (like in the pan fried dumplings) and almost zero actual soup in the dumplings themselves. Hate to say it but whatever I had was more akin to what I'd get in a crappy Chinese takeout and not in a place that is supposedly a step higher than those quick pump and dump joints. The service however was very nice and friendly. The restaurant itself was fairly clean and generally speaking not too crowded. At least that alleviated some covid anxiety. read more

My new go to taiwan restaurant. Food was straight fire. Brought so much food that I ate this for a week straight, and the food was still fire throughout the week. Got the fish, stinky tofu, the tofu strips and the mushroom. All was 10/10. THe menu has so much that I need to go again to get the experience read more

Nice place for Taiwanese type food. You can select a variety of dishes and not have to pay a lot. You can go mild or spicy. Delicacies or everyday dishes. They have a special with purchasing 3 dishes- you get soup and rice. They only thing missing is a dessert to end the meal. read more

Nan Bei Ho deserves more than 3.5 stars. It's the favorite go to place for my family when we can't decide where to eat. Come here for some well made classic Taiwanese dishes. My absolute favorite is the Minced Pork with Leek and Black Bean (the Chinese name, 苍蝇头, translates to Housefly's Head - I can see why they wouldn't want to put the English translation on the menu!). Other favorites are Slice Fish w/ Black Bean Sauce (fish is flavorful and perfectly crispy), 三杯鸡 (Chunk Style Taiwan Chicken, aka three cup chicken), Shredded Beef with Green Hot Pepper (very spicy!!), Lions Head Casserole, and Shredded Pork w/Dry Bean Curd. My mom and her friends all love the Stinky Tofu, but since I absolutely hate all types of stinky tofu I can't offer an unbiased opinion. Avoid the卤肉饭 (Braised Pork Over Rice) - it's too oily and soggy and they skimp on the meat. Go to Mama Lee's for that. The Family Meal, 3 dishes for $49, is a great deal. read more

Great service. Not crowded so food was served quickly. Good affordable pricing. But not tasty as they used to be. Their oyster pancake was very their best dish and it was very good when many places no longer serve them. read more

Friend visiting from Maryland had a craving for stinky tofu. Went on a Saturday night around 6:30pm and it was pretty busy. The wait time was not too bad but the wait area is the front counter where people pick up take out orders. We ordered 8 dishes - the 3 cup chicken and eggplant garlic were my favorite. The stinky tofu was not stinky, but they liked it. Food came out quickly and was good. The atmosphere is very loud and kind of hectic - not a place for a quiet, relaxing dinner. They also close very early at 9pm. read more

Very authentic Taiwanese breakfast. Server is very friendly 臭豆腐 is excellent Some specialties 大餅 have to order in advance And 豆花 could be sold out before noon read more

One of the only places in NYC that serves Taiwanese breakfast 7 days a week. This place gets PACKED on the weekends so go early. Everything is made fresh. My fave item was the salty stuffed rice roll. The rice outside is nice and warm , the pork sung and fried cruller inside is nice and crunchy , with the right amount of pickled cabbage. Go try it! read more

One of my favorite down to earth, every day meal, authentic, reminds me of how mom made it type of places. They have great soup dumplings. Everyone will rave about Nan Xiang Xiao Long Bao and back in the days Joe's Shanghai, but I think this place has very decent soup dumplings. But it's their veggies dumplings that I'm in LOVE with. They were originally in the heart of flushing on price street and we went almost every other week. I was sooooooooooo sad when they closed. Well they've been back in this new location for a long time now and nothing has changed in terms of quality. Another notable item is their salty bean curd soup. I don't know if it's the curd or the soup actually. I just order "xian dou jiang". Soooo good. Flavorful and packed with goodies. Other places give one tiny piece of fried dough and tiny sprinkles of pork song. This place does it right. Other things I love: beef and pepper, cumin lamb, beef in pancake, and hubs always gets the pn fried noodles. They also have a nice family meal deal. Some of the workers have been there forever. Legit authentic Taiwanese food! read more

Nice spot. 1) I got the pork chop with rice, veggies and tea egg. It was my favorite dish. 2) They give you complimentary soup and tea. 3) Angela Mao owns the restaurant. She played in movies with Bruce Lee. read more

So unfortunately I think they are currently closed due to COVID. But if they reopen soon, I'll say my family has been here many times before. This is a really good Taiwanese restaurant in Bayside, Queens. They have reasonable $34 3 dish meal specials that feed a family of 4 quite easily. The best part of this place in my opinion is their food isn't greasy, and most Chinese restaurants are way too greasy. They use just the right amount of salt and oil in their dishes and I have to tip my hat off. Their food tastes like a very good home chef's. The boss lady is also super nice to chat with. But sadly, they aren't open now. read more

We come to this place often, in person prior to covid and lots of takeout during. We really like the breakfast menu.

Most authentic Taiwanese around Bayside area. I simply love their breakfast and definitely the "Stinky" tofu.

This spot used to be on 40th road in Flushing and has now moved to the Bayside area. If you want pretty good Taiwanese food, then this is the place to go. I came for brunch and basically ordered from the Taiwanese breakfast menu. The sweet tofu pudding (soy milk) is thicker than what you'd normally drink in the supermarket bottles. I believe the deep fried cruller (fried dough) has been fried twice, so it is a bit dry. Besides that, the food is pretty good. Not particularly amazing, but since it's so hard to find above average Taiwanese food nowadays, this is close to it. The inside of the restaurant was traditional with cool penny tabletops. Service was fast. I went around 11am and was seated almost instantly. I would come back here again to try the dinner menu to see if it is still as good as it was oh so many years ago when this was located in Flushing. read more

Out of the 4 times that I've eaten at this restaurant, I have had 2 very poor experiences with the waitresses and staff here. Not all of the waitresses are bad, in fact there is one waitress who treated us well. During this last visit, we were shocked by the rudeness and attitude from 2 of the waitresses. We should have gotten their names, but we were just so fed up and wanted to get out of that toxic environment as soon as possible. I am never coming back to this restaurant. It's such a shame because their food tastes really good, but it is not worth having to put up with their belittling comments and it cannot make up for their bad service. read more

Taiwanese is a category I rarely try due to the fact that there are few such restaurants near where I live. I decided to give one a try that was actually the closest to where I was on that day. Nan Bei Ho is located is a section of Bayside near many schools. It's on a street with a few other businesses scrunched together in a small block. The upside to this is that it's fairly easy finding parking in the area. When we arrived, we saw a fairly modern restaurant that was brightly lit. The unique tables were made of pennies squished between two glass panes. Service was quick in providing tea and taking orders. Since we were there for the first time, we had to try out some dishes that I felt were "representative" of the cuisine. We ordered Taiwanese fried noodles, an oyster pancake, a fried pork chop rice platter, stinky tofu and a plate of garlic spinach. The fried noodles were basic pork slivers that were stir-fried with thick udon noodles. The oyster pancake, was made with springy tapioca flour with egg added to complete the pancake. It was covered in a slightly sweet and sour sauce. The oysters in the pancake were in generous portions. The fried pork chop platter was the best dish. It contained a tea egg, preserved vegetables, 4 full pork chops, sauce and a seasoned ground pork chop sprinkled over the rice. The stinky tofu was very good too, especially with the included sauce and pickled vegetables which paired nicely with the tofu. The one thing to keep in mind is that if you order from the entrée part of the menu, you'll end up paying regular entrée prices from $12 to $18. But if you order from the other parts of the menu, you can also get food, but for a much lower price. For example, the pork platter with rice was only $8 for a mountain of food! The huge plate of stinky tofu was about $7. There's also a Family Meal portion of the menu where you could order three entrees from a wide array of choices for only $33. I think it includes complimentary soup and rice. We would like to try this on a future visit. Overall, I'm very impressed with Nan Bei Ho, due to the great prices, portions and style of food. In some ways, it a bit Cantonese, but I didn't mind. I loved that fact that it felt like the Chinese restaurants I grew up with in the 80's. So if you want a great value, you should come here. read more

Very decent Taiwanese food. Actually this is the ONLY restaurant throughout my entire pregnancy that I would consistently eat. - Joked my husband. But it's true! Their potstickers, juicy buns, scallion pancake rolled w beef and salty soybean is a must. It takes awhile for them to make the potstickers and juicy buns so order them as soon as you get seated. Lol (trust me, I do this all the time) The stinky tofu while good, can go a bit more stinkier. There's ample amount of parking space available. Although free parking Sundays it can be a jam. The waitstaffs friendly. They practically know what I order everytime. Eh what can I say? I travel from LI all the way here for this place. If that doesn't say much then idk what will. So if you're reading this - what are you waiting for ? Come and have a try at it yourself. read more

I first came here when this place first opened 2 years ago, food was mediocre and the place smelled. My mechanic told me that this place has changed. So I went with my wife and the place was packed. The ambiance has change and the food was very, very good. Will be returning with my parents next week. The fried dumplings seemed to be the favorite amongst the customer. I saw at least 6 dishes coming out of the kitchen. read more

Nan Bei Ho is such a friendly neighborhood establishment. The service is always fast and friendly and you get some great authentic Chinese food here. They even have Stink Tofu! It's not the stinkiest unfortunately but it's better than nothing without having to go to Downtown Flushing. My gripe is the flavor of their food isn't quite consistent albeit still tasty. Probably change of chefs? Or trying something new? Their soup dumplings are pretty consistent so that's important. $20 minimum is required to use a credit card and that's really annoying to me. Most items on the menu are sub $20 and nowadays, people just don't like to carry cash. read more
