    Beef pancake roll
    Anna P.

    Our server took the time to explain menu items and gave some suggestions. Started with a warm sweetened soy milk. Perfect for the chilly weather or if youre sensitive to cold drinks. The server mentioned that the beef pancake roll was a popular item so of course we ordered it. Saw some good reviews on Oyster omellette but it was not for me. The flavor was fine but the texture was very gelatinous.

    Soy milk

    Unfortunately this place has suffered significantly from Shrinkflation. I haven't been here in over 5 years and was shocked to discover it was not the place I remembered Such tiny bowls of soy milk and small portions of food. Really felt I was being nickled and dimed and they were getting away with serving the very bare minimum Sadly I was extremely disappointed but I suppose this is what the economy has become I will not be back

    I really enjoy their Taiwanese flavors. Decided to come here with my mom since dear child of mine met up with her friends in flushing and my mom lives close by. First time coming for dinner instead of lunch. I think they do a lot of business from lunch vs dinner but also could be because it's the day before Christmas Eve so we were the only patrons. Ordered popcorn chicken, crispy fried intestines and a tofu with string beans.

    Stinky tofu
    Amy L.

    Stopped by Ryan Taiwanese Cuisine since it's close to where I work and I wanted to try some Taiwanese comfort dishes. I ordered the stinky tofu, smoked duck, fried chicken over rice, and garlic chicken over rice. The stinky tofu had a strong aroma as expected and a crispy exterior. The smoked duck had good flavor and was probably the highlight of the meal. The fried chicken and garlic chicken over rice were decent portions and filling, but nothing particularly memorable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere inside feels a bit old and dark, which gives it a casual, no-frills vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was friendly and the staff were welcoming. Overall, the food was okay but on the pricier side for what you get. It's convenient if you're nearby and craving Taiwanese food, but it didn't really stand out compared to other spots.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This cozy no frills spot serves pretty good Taiwanese food and you'll be in and out pretty quick![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was craving Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup and was walking by here so I knew I had to try it out. I think their noodles were yummy and the broth was quite rich. I also had the popcorn chicken and oyster omelet which at the time, I had just been excited to try more Taiwanese food in the city, since there aren't that many. The gumminess of the oyster omelet did throw me off a bit as I wasn't expecting that. I had expected more of a silky texture. The popcorn chicken was great and nicely fried and seasoned. Overall, it's a solid spot and would recommend their soup!

    The beef chow fun noodles were somewhat dried out during transit, but was flavorful. The spare ribs were decent, somewhat small but tasty. Shanghai noodles were prepared well.

    Stinky tofu
    Maxwell L.

    OK Ryan serves authentic Taiwanese fare, notably crispy stinky (emphasis on stinky) tofu. When I ordered this dish for takeout, the stench was pervasive through the bag. Despite the smell which could fill an entire elevator lobby, the taste of the tofu was not overly sour or fermented, and the sweet soy based dipping sauce balanced each bite of tofu well. The pickled cabbage on the side was a nice, crisp palate cleanser! I also got the railroad lunch with soy braised chicken. While the rice box had a lot of food inside, the chicken was unfortunately overcooked and dehydrated. It was still enjoyable to eat all together, just a bit dry. Online ordering for the restaurant is pretty streamline. They made the food in less than the advertised 30 minutes. The menu is very jam packed and a little overwhelming - but they have all you could ask for from a Taiwanese food place.

    Stopped here Sunday morning to get the best Taiwanese breakfast in town. They have the best soy milk and beef pancake you can get. No frill kinda place so don't expect the best service but the delectable food will make up for it! With inflation these days, it's hard to find places that don't charge $20 for a small appetizer. There's a small parking lot so if the option is there, I would take public transportation.

    OK Ryan, nestled in Flushing, is a great choice if you're craving homey and delicious Taiwanese food. Our group of five went family style, which is a must since the menu has so many tempting options. My two favorites of the meal were the fly's head (a simple yet effective mix of ground pork, black bean, budding chives, and chilies) and cabbage in XO sauce (can this be my side dish for every meal?). FYI, they're both listed as spicy but there's barely a kick. As comfort dishes go, the pork with bamboo shoot was top-notch. I also liked the beef with water spinach in BBQ sauce (love myself some sacha sauce), which was a bit wetter than I expected, but tasty nonetheless. For other classic options, you can't go wrong with the Taiwanese style stinky tofu (personally the pickled veggies have always been my favorite part), Taiwanese three cup chicken, and braised pork rice with egg (my favorite of this group). While I liked the flavors of the oyster omelette, it was a little too goopy for me and wayyy too goopy for my friends. There were barely any oysters, but that didn't surprise me. I also tried ba-wan for the first time, and it was glutinous with a tasty sauce, but I preferred the other dishes. The sesame oil pork kidney was also a little too soft for my taste, but take that with a grain of salt, as I'm usually not big on kidneys unless they're grilled and smoky. My kidney-loving friend really enjoyed it. I was also glad to snag the last grass jelly drink of the night. It was excellent and so refreshing! The wait staff was really friendly and helpful, and I really appreciated that. Flushing's always such a trek from Brooklyn, but I hope to return and try other dishes, especially from their breakfast menu.

    Our group of Taiwanese friends believes this is the best and most authentic Taiwanese restaurant in New York. We come here all the time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff here is kind, service is timely, and it's very much a homey atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have nearly all the staple Taiwanese dishes. My favs are: (1) Smoked duck (must try this!) (2) Oyster omelette (蚵仔煎) - I prefer this to what is served in actual Taiwan night markets (3) Peanut/rice milk (米漿) - super authentic (4) Fly's head (minced pork with chives, etc) (5) House tofu dish (6) Golden Taiwanese kimchi - so far I haven't been able to find this anywhere else Enjoy!

    Pretty solid Taiwanese staples. Liked the Lou rou fan the most! Portion was pretty decent so you can share things.

    We stopped here before going to a Mets game. Solid Taiwanese, a slight variation from the usual Cantonese. The waitress spoke English. Reasonably priced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A pleasant stop in an out of the way place on a housewares suppliers street.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Quick efficient service. We had beef chow fun noodles with scrambled egg. It came prepared in sauce.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 4 Value: 7 I have not been here in a long time. Maybe because the prices are no longer considered cheap eats. Or maybe because my taste buds have evolved over the years. Or maybe it's just not as good as it used to be. The answer is maybe all three and somewhere in the middle. I have never came here, or any other Latino-Chinese restaurants in NYC, for service or decor, so let's set that aside. The value is still somewhat there, but the food did not hit that nostalgic note I was looking for. I wanted to get the Fried Pork Chops (Chuletas De Cerdo Frita), but our server suggested the "juicier" Broiled Pork Chops (Chuletas De Credo Asada) instead. Sorry to report, if that's juicy, then how dry is the fried pork chops? I shutter at the thought. It was also under seasoned. I substituted the House Fried Rice for my side at an $4.50 additional fee. It was just okay and not worth the upgrade. Boneless Crispy Fried Chicken (Chicharron De Pollo) was also a disappointment. The batter was more hard than crispy, but the idea that boneless dark meat isn't more juicy simply tells me that the chef over fried the pieces. It came with Fried sweet plantains, which could have been a but more ripe but not bad. I'm not sure how I feel about the Beef Stew (Carne Guisada), which had relatively tender meat, but the sauce was so weak and lacked any real flavor. The black beans and white rice that came with it was decent. What might bring me back to this restaurant sooner rather than later was the Shrimp Egg Foo Young (foo Young Con Camarones). I felt that the eggs were cooked extremely well, but the star of the show was that delicious brown sauce full of umami. Having this over white or fried rice made this meal much more acceptable. I'm not sure when I'll have another craving for this type of food. If I do, I'll definitely get the egg foo young again. However, the other dishes were misses for me, so maybe I'll try the Fried Pork Chops and Shredded Beef in Tomato SayceRopa Vieja.

    Food is good, quiet and clean…read more Service is impeccable. My fiance and I drink water like fish. Our glasses were never empty. Warning to all with a pineapple allergy like me: do not eat the duck sauce. If you like spicy ask for hot mustard instead. Orange chicken was crispy and flavorful. I did not find it spicy, but my spice tolerance is very high. My fiance had the chicken with broccoli and it looked amazing. Try the cold noodles. They are chewy and delicious. For me the fried dumplings were good, but not great. Worth a try but nothing to rave over.

    The menu here is split into two sections, classic American Chinese take out and Sichuan cooking…read more Seems to be a fairly popular take out spot, as they were fulfilling many delivery orders while I was there, but the interior is comfortable and elegantly decorated unlike a standard take out only spot. I ordered the cured pork with garlic shoots and dry fried green beans. The cured pork was quite salty, and paired well with the buttery, tender leeks it was cooked with. The dish was not overly oily, and was pleasant over white rice. I enjoyed the chewiness of the pork which allowed you to experience the complex flavor. The green beans were well fried, with characteristic texture signature to this dish. The seasoning was very well balanced and not overpowering to the natural sweetness of the green beans. I would recommend either dish. They were both slightly toned down iterations when compared to the times I've eaten these dishes at other Sichuan restaurants in flushing, but still well seasoned and well cooked. The service was very warm and friendly, and many other customers seemed to be returning regulars.
