It was getting late and this place was convenient and open and had seemed to have good ratings on Google. So we had to try it out. It was a cold date. There was no one in the restaurant, but the staff was very friendly and it felt like a private event just for ourselves. We got a traditional Taiwanese appetizer and some spicy sautéed fish in a sizzling beef and pepper platter. All we're good, especially the fish definitely worth trying. There are other authentic Taiwanese style food that wants to say for next time.

We liked everything we tried - some of the standouts were the Taiwanese 3 cup chicken, beef in black pepper sauce on sizzling plate, and the string bean with bean curd. I do wish the stinky tofu was a bit "stinkier" and bolder in flavor. Braised pork with rice solid and comforting, as expected. One dish we are hoping to try was the smoked duck, but unfortunately they had run out that night. Definitely something I'd want to try in the future. Service was friendly and accommodating throughout the meal. Overall, a reliable spot for Taiwanese food and worth a visit.

We tried the Three Cup Chicken, Taiwanese Liver, and Stinky Tofu, and I enjoyed all three dishes. Everything was flavorful and satisfying, and I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. There were a couple of things that could use some attention. The bathroom felt quite dated and could definitely benefit from a makeover. Also, while I was eating, one of the workers was trying to kill a fly in the dining area. I understand that flies happen, especially in restaurants, but dealing with it right next to customers while they are eating was a little off-putting. Those issues aside, the food was the highlight and the overall experience was good. With a few improvements to the dining environment, this could be an even better experience.

What we ordered: - Pork Chop combo - Popcorn Chicken combo Both of our meals came with rice, stir fry veggies, and an eggs. We both enjoyed our meals, nothing special but just a decent meal as a good price. The veggies somehow were the highlight of our dish. Yum! It was a good size so we were full after finishing just one portion and took the rest home. We had two servers. The man was very friendly and helpful. We would recommend this place if you're in the area looking for a authentic Taiwanese/Chinese meal.

Found this spot on a whim and decided to try it out! I ended up dining in here. It's not ideal…read moresince it's small inside with about 3 tables. I love love love the classic Taiwanese dishes that were on the menu here. I couldn't help myself but to order to my stomachs content. Of course, the stinky tofu! Not as stinky as I'd like (IYKYK). But the flavor of the sauce with the hot sauce that it comes with matches perfectly. I also ordered a trio appetizer of braised intestines, pig foot and tofu. They were all delicious! Nicely warm and all melts in your mouth. Good flavor! Pairs well with rice. My main was the chicken set. Delicious! And I love how they did the chicken 2 ways. With all the little side apps that it comes with as well. Everything was great. I didn't give a full 5 stars and this one negative may break it for you in coming here but while I was sitting I did notice small baby roaches strolling along the walls. Not a good sign and like I said might turn you away. I'll probably just order to go from here BUT that stuff doesn't phase me as long as it wasn't in my food. Let me know what you think!

First time coming and the food was just ok. The beef noodle…read moresoup was pretty good. Nice flavor and good portion size. The braised pork over rice was a good simple dish. The sesame noodle honestly was not very good. Normally this would be a dry cold dish, however this was hot and still wet on the bottom. The flavor was a bit on the sweeter side. The dan dan noodles was not bad flavor was good and portion size was good. Honestly the best thing I had was the popcorn chicken which was made well. The place is pretty small only about 14 seats total and maybe another 4 seat in front of the window bar style. Quite little place. The service was a bit on the slow side and the waiter was not very tentative. Lucky we were there earlier and first as we probably would have had to wait a bit for food. I guess due to only two person crew.

We were sad to hear this but also very excited for the new things that Mama Lee will have on the menu! We were happy we got to try her food one last time and it didn't disappoint as usual. We've probably tried everything on her stir fry menu and it's all delicious. Plus, she offers a complimentary generous serving of rice and water bottles. I recommend going for Mama Lee's amazing food but also for her kindness and friendliness too. She's a staple in our community.

When we got home, we realized that one of the soups for the beef noodles was missing, so we called and Mama Lee rectified the situation right away. She was extremely apologetic and states that due to the fridged weather, they were lower in staff and things got busy so a mistake was made. We did have to drive back to pick up the order, but customer service was excellent. We tried the beef noodle soup ($22), salt and pepper chicken ($22), Taiwanese pork chops ($22), sauté string beans ($22), 3 cup chicken ($22). The beef noodle soup was fantastic. Broth was savory, and portion size for the noodles and beef was enough for 2 people. The beef was thick, tender, and delicious. I did wish the noodles clung onto the soup more, but I just took a sip of soup between bites and was still satisfied. I thought the sauté string beans, and 3 cup chicken were fine. I could taste the wok hay. I wish the salt and pepper chicken had more salt and pepper flavor. We weren't a fan of the pork chops though. Overall, we would definitely come again for the beef noodle soup. We were informed that there is an additional 3% added on if you pay with card.

We drove though; on a weekday, still had to go around til we got a spot by the residential buildings a few blocks away. Small casual place, clean decor, with tables for 2-4, still ok for groups. Not sure if supposed to order at the 1 kiosk there (which other customers did) but we sat down and got table service. Very attentive employee. We ordered a few $10 over-rice dishes, which came with complimentary clear soup: Grandma's Braised Pork Belly- soft chunks of tasty pork with quail eggs; can be shared. Taiwanese pork chop and Taiwanese fried chicken cutlet both came with minced meat, veg and 1/2 egg. Made them combos: over-rice dish + appetizer (options are highlighted in yellow) =$15. Not bad. Our picks were Beef stuffed flatbread - a scallion pancake with filling, and Pan fried pork dumplings -juicy with a crispy bottom. Braised beef soup noodles was a big serving. Salty pork and veg fried rice - withtiny pork pieces, salty as expected but not overly. Good portions, good prices.

Nuan Xin Rice Roll 暖心饭团 is a small spot focused on Taiwanese fan tuan, a type of stuffed sticky…read morerice roll that feels like a cross between a rice ball, onigiri, and kimbap. We walked into a compact, no frills space with a casual grab and go feel that fits the type of food being served. The shop keeps things simple, but the concept works well for a quick and filling meal, especially when you want something affordable that still has plenty of flavor packed into a portable format. The rice rolls are the main reason to come here. The purple sticky rice gives each roll a slightly chewy texture and makes it feel more substantial than a typical grab and go snack. Inside, the fillings create a good mix of textures with savory ingredients, vegetables, and sauces packed into each bite. We tried the eel rice roll, which stood out as one of the stronger options. The eel added a richer flavor that paired well with the rice and seaweed, and adding spicy mayo gave it an extra layer of flavor without overpowering the rest of the roll. The combination of the soft, chewy rice and the variety of fillings made each bite feel balanced and satisfying. What makes fan tuan enjoyable is how balanced it feels as a meal. It is compact, easy to eat, and surprisingly filling for the size. There are plenty of filling combinations to choose from, including meat, seafood, and more traditional options, so it is easy to find something depending on what you are craving. The portions are generous enough that a single roll can serve as a full meal, and the pricing makes it an easy choice for a quick lunch or dinner. Service is straightforward and the focus is really on getting the rice rolls prepared quickly. The staff moves efficiently, and the order turnaround is fast, which fits the grab and go format well. There is limited seating, so the experience is best suited for takeout or a quick stop rather than a long sit down meal. Nuan Xin Rice Roll is a great option for a simple but satisfying meal. The purple rice, generous fillings, and variety of combinations make it stand out from typical quick bites, and it is worth checking out if you enjoy onigiri, kimbap, or Taiwanese street food. It delivers exactly what the format promises: a compact, flavorful, and filling meal that feels more thoughtful than your average grab and go option.

Not sure if it was pre-prepared or mixed to order, but it took them a bit before they were ready to pour it for me.
