House Special Beef Noodle Soup (牛肉麵)- Very flavor full with a mild kick which adds to the overall flavor. Balances out with the vegetables. Was looking for a nice warm bowl of soupy noodles on the cold day and this hit the spot. Was a bit confusing at first trying to order as there was another dish with a similar name but was told it's the same thing but that dish allows to switch the noodle type if you choose to do so. Looking forward to come again soon to try their combo plates with wontons! read more

Tai Kee Wonton - A.5. House Special Beef Noodle Soup / 牛肉麵 - Taiwanese Near Me - San Jose, California

We were in the mood for soup but not pho or ramen soup. We wanted some wonton soup. A popular Taiwanese restaurant known for their wontons soup was close by where we were at, so we headed there. We arrived for a Saturday lunch recently. Tai Kee Wonton is located in a business area plaza off Lundy Avenue in San Jose. Parking is accessible in the medium sized parking lot. The Taiwanese restaurant has a counter where you can order food to go. There are plenty of tables and booths for dine in. The modern decor is family friendly, cozy, and welcoming. We ordered 2 small Taiwanese Wontons soups, a House special beef noodle soup, and a Taiwanese sandwich. Everything was authentic and delicious. The wontons soups were flavorful and warm. My beef noodle soup was hearty. The tender beef was scrumptious. The sandwich was different, something that I have never had before but I enjoyed it a lot. The pork meat filling was savory and tasty. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Tai Kee Wonton. The staff were friendly and accommodating. This restaurant appeared to be a local favorite in the area. I was glad we got to finally try this spot. The wontons lived up to the hype. read more

Service was good, so thumbs up there! The food was... just a bit underwhelming. I almost never give just 3 stars, but I can't give it an honest 4. With that said, there was a decent crowd for a drizzly Saturday afternoon, so people seem to like it. read more

We met up with some friends who frequently come to this restaurant. Though, this was our first time visiting Tai Kee Wonton, and we live nearby! Order via QR code on each table. The food comes out fairly quickly. The service is minimal but sufficient. Inside seating was booths and tables. Fairly cozy and tight. One unisex restroom only. NOTE: 45 minute time limit for dine-in. Especially during peak time. The food quality and authenticity was spot on per our friends. A.5 House Special Beef Noodle Soup (4/5). Flavorful, rich, broth with a slight spice. The beef was cooked until very tender. The noodles were soft yet and a nice firm chewiness. It was perfect. Definitely not overcooked where it becomes waterlogged or mushy. E.5 Combo Stewed Pork Rice Plate & Small Wonton Soup (4/5). The plate came with blanched cabbage, broccoli, a tea egg, minced pork over steamed rice. The pork belly was braised and stewed until fork tender but not over done so it still kept it's shape. The minced pickled mustard greens was the highlight. B.6: Taiwanese Sandwich. It had the same type of meat, the stewed pork belly with minced pickled mustard Greens, a little sauce in a steamed white bun. D&M, Thanks again for spending time with us and treating for lunch! Support your local business. read more

$23 combo is a bit pricey for a lunch meal. You'd think its a lot of food since it comes with soup, but I was able to eat it all. The popcorn chicken meal is tasty but I've had better Taiwanese bento style meals. My friend's stewed pork had nice flavors and it's quite tender. His meal is a huge portion. Both our meals came with side of veggies and pickled relish. Although this is located in a business district, there were lots of customers pouring in around lunchtime. There is an Asian homey vibe for a lunch place situated in a commercial zone. We ordered via our phone, but we paid to the server. The online menu has photos but couldn't really zoom in on the pictures so you kinda have to guess what some of the side dishes are. I went back/forth on Yelp and their app to order. I'm just thankful to my Elite Yelp friends who take excellent pictures! read more

Best wontons in the South Bay! We've been coming here for the past couple of years, and the quality is consistent each time. We ordered the Taiwanese wonton soup, house special beef noodle soup, sweet rice with meat in cone, and pork chop rice. Service is always relatively fast, and the crowd has died down in recent years, meaning there's usually no more wait when I go. The sweet rice with meat in cone is akin to a zongzi. The rice is sticky, the meat is tender, and the layer of sweet and sour sauce adds the sweetness. The house beef noodle soup always has super tender meat that melts in your mouth, and I love how they give an ample amount of veggies. The broth is rich and umami. The pork chop rice is always a generous portion, with plenty of veggie sides and an egg. The meat is fluffy and doesn't feel overly oily. The star of the show is the wonton soup! Truly the wontons with the thinnest wonton wrappers I've tried. Super tender and I don't think I could wrap these wontons myself haha. The broth is always light and the bowl is just so easy to finish. Must try wonton soup! read more

Liked this place quite a bit! Good Taiwanese classics at a fair price point. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup broth was not bad -- could have used a bit more flavor but overall OK. Noodles needed a little bit more bite and texture to them but also fairly minor. My friend liked the wontons that he ordered, and the popcorn basil chicken was fairly tasty. Seems like a friendly mom and pop establishment and would recommend stopping by to support them! Place was fairly packed the entire night I was there so you know they're doing it right. read more

Tai Kee Wonton is one of the most legit Taiwanese restaurants in the Bay Area. Their beef noodle soup is truly authentic with a rich broth, tender beef, and noodles that taste just like home. This is comfort food at its best and it always hits the spot whenever we are homesick. The portions are very generous. The fried pork chop rice comes out golden and crispy while still juicy inside. The braised pork belly rice is melt-in-your-mouth tender with all the right sides. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken is another favorite, perfectly crunchy with the fragrance of fried basil leaves. Every dish is made with care and comes in a size that will easily fill you up, so it is best not to over-order unless you are really hungry. The restaurant itself has a casual, cozy atmosphere with plenty of seating. Service is simple and efficient which makes it easy to sit down, enjoy a meal, and leave satisfied. read more

Tucked away in a small plaza. The service is very good and fast. I enjoyed the apps a lot more than the soup. We ordered the popcorn chicken, spicy wontons, wonton noodle soup. The popcorn chicken portion was plentiful and the chicken was very crispy with a lot of basil flavor. The spicy wontons don't look appetizing but I assure you it is good. They do a different sauce here, which i liked a lot. The wonton noodle soup was my least favorite - the broth tasted fine just regular. The noodles were way overcooked. I personally prefer egg noodle for wonton noodle soup. Overall I would still come back. read more

Tai Kee Wonton - Taiwanese Near Me - San Jose, California

We visited on a Saturday for lunch and ordered the cucumber in spicy sauce, pork chop rice set, and beef noodle soup. The prices were a bit on the higher side for the Bay Area (~$20+ for the pork chop rice & beef noodle soup) but then again, it can be hard to find good Taiwanese food in the Bay. We felt the cucumber in spicy sauce was all right but not very special. We had some leftovers but didn't feel like it was worth bringing home. My pork chop rice was okay -- lacking a bit in flavor in my opinion, and the wontons in the wonton soup that it came with were just a bit too salty but maybe that's just me. According to my husband, the beef noodle soup was good but not exceptional. All in all, the food was fine but we just didn't feel blown away by it. Service was fine, we did have to wait a little bit to flag someone down for the check and to-go boxes. The restaurant is pretty family friendly too and as a result, can get a little noisy. read more

Family run place with quick service. They always do their main offering the wonton soup pretty well. I think this place is better suited for pickup than a sit down restaurant Pros Wonton are really thin and meaty. Go here for the best Wontons in the bay area. Cons Other menu items are a bit of a hit/miss The restaurant inside is pretty cramped and dark. read more

So we were so excited to try this place as I never knew there was such a think as Taiwanese wontons. AND I will say - it was DELICIOUS! The broth was AMAZING and so flavorful - so much pork meat with the THINNEST finest SILKY skin. I definitely loved the won ton and wish I just got that. I ordered the combo - the stewed pork w/rice and small wonton. The broccoli on the plate had NO FLAVOR what so ever - so I put the small pieces in my wonton broth - thank goodness it picked up some of the soup flavor - had to let it sit a bit... AND we had also ordered the eggplant - which had EXCELLENT flavor and sauce but the skin on the eggplant was hard and tough. Not what I'm used to, but we used the eggplant sauce on our broccoli which helped it a lot. As for my stewed pork - I should have gone with a more traditional Taiwanese dish like the fried pork chop because the pork was DRY and flavorless. I plan on taking my left overs and cutting up the pork to make a fried rice and add more flavoring to it. THANK GOODNESS for the chopped pickles - otherwise there would be no flavor... Hubby had the pig feed combo with wonton. That pig feet is HUGE - was tender and tasty. That was actually pretty decent but still with the blandness of the rest of the plate it wasn't the best meal experience. Friends had the fried fish combo and the popcorn chicken combo. They seemed to like it - though the chicken had a different seasoning that what my friend was used to (who is Taiwanese) but she said it was "good". The star definitely is the wonton soup. BUT I also think I should have ordered more traditional like the beef noodle soup. I think we may try it one more time - but definitely need to go early. It's a small place and at 5:50 there was already a line. There's actually a sign saying you have 60 min seating which when we left and saw the line - we totally understand now. A lot of people come with little babies - so very family focused. Even when we got the table they asked if we had kids or need a high chair... OH and you basically order using their QRC on the table. It's pretty expensive but you get ALOT of food. OH and we love when we got the water - it wasn't cold but a little warm! LOVED that... read more

Finally came around to try this place out. Wontons were good and soup was great. The sticky rice was so nostalgic, but I don't rlly like the sauce on it. It'll be great if it's on the side. Also again. Some condiments would be great ? No chili flakes on the side either. When it came they gave us something like SSAMJUNG. Anyways. Prolly won't come back again soon despite being Taiwanese. Too expensive. 2 bowls of soup and a side came out to be more than $50 with tips. Service was great tho. read more

I saw an ad for this restaurant known for their wonton recipe that was passed down 5 generations, I knew I had to try it myself. The potted plants in front of the store made me feel like I was visiting a relatives house. Service was good. The special chili sauce with dry noodles and wonton soup was interesting. The chili sauce is very peppery and spicy. I thought the noodles would come with a protein but it was just noodles and bean sprouts and sauce. The wontons were really good, a good amount of filling and the wonton skin was silky soft. Their rice combo dishes seem pretty popular looking around the neighboring tables. I have my eye on trying those next time or a different noodle soup. read more

This place is a magical hole in a wall that offers amazing wontons, noodles, and Taiwanese dishes. It totally is a family owned establishment and found out that they actually make the wontons skins in house which is something I've never seen or heard before. We've gone here 2 times and I can confidently say that anything on their menu will be tasty and delicious. All the dishes are super packed but at the same time feel very light. My favorite dishes are the wonton soup, guabao, and bamboo. The wonton soup is in a light broth that has a nice Chinese celery and fried shallot taste. The noodles have a great texture but the star of the show is the wontons. Even if you get the wonton soup without the noodles it's a winner and you'll have stomach space for other items. The guabao is heavenly and tastes literally off the streets of Taiwan. It's a must order. The bamboo is definitely an acquired taste but I love it soooo much. Great texture and flavor. Other notable mentions are the sesame noodles that come out warm and are super saucey, the braised pork feet that's super tender and packed with flavor. Overall Tai Kee Wonton is full of heart and comfort food. It's on my list to constantly come back to. You have to try this place!! read more

After seeing a post on IG about how the president of Taiwan had dined here and loved it of course we had to give it a try. We arrived right when they opened on a Friday and by the time our food arrived the place was fully packed. We ordered the wonton noodle soup, beef noodle soup, spicy wontons, and popcorn chicken. We enjoyed everything we ordered and the wontons were indeed phenomenal. The popcorn chicken was moist, crispy, and you could really taste the fried basil flavor. The spicy wontons definitely had a kick to it but was really good, not your typical chili oil. read more

I was craving some wonton soup, so I made my fiance take me here. We went right at opening (5pm) on a Saturday because I wasn't sure if it would be busy. They seemed to have a few online orders, but we were the first customers to come in. The restaurant is on the smaller side, but is very cozy! We were quickly greeted and seated. We ordered from a QR code. They had a lot of things that piqued our interest, but we decided to try the wonton soup and dry chili wontons. We also ordered the green Thai milk tea. The green Thai tea had a nice balanced flavor. It was sweet, but you could also taste the herbal flavor from the tea. I would definitely recommend trying an iced milk tea drink here. The large wonton soup looked small, but was very filling. Our server offered us two sauces the sweet chili sauce and the chili paste. The sweet chili sauce was sweet and then had a nice kick to it. The chili paste was also spicy with a nice vinegar taste. I put both in my broth and on my wontons. The wonton broth itself had a subtle, but good flavor. The wontons were also flavorful by themselves. They were silky soft and had a good amount of filling. There were also some wonton wrappers in the soup, which was a nice touch. There was also some green onions, celery, and (I think) fried garlic, which gave a nice texture. I will definitely be getting the wonton soup again!! My fiance's chili wontons came with a house sauce and the sweet chili sauce (I think). The house sauce was meaty, salty, and spicy. Definitely super good! The waiter said it was a special homemade sauce. The dish also had some bean sprouts at the bottom. He enjoyed it and said he would order it again. Overall, we enjoyed both dishes and the customer service. We plan on coming back to try more items. read more

I love wontons! It's no secret to everyone who knows me. This restaurant... the wonton recipe has been passed down for 5 generations and the thin wonton skins are made in house. What an absolute treat in this modern world! I am usually not a broth girl, but the broth is also very fresh and I sipped most of it. The wontons themselves have a delicate skin and they perfectly complement the "crunch" of the meat filling. We also ordered the popcorn chicken, which may be the best version we've had in the Bay so far. Their spiced pigs feet is absolutely delicious and a surprised hit with all. The bao is large and the bamboo appetizer has a nice crunch. The owners had a store in Hualin, Taiwan. This town in Taiwan is special to us given some family connections. We spoke to the owners and they are very nice and passionate about what they are doing. I'm glad they were able to bring their craft to San Jose. Service is good. Casual. Parking in a lot. Ordering is via a QR code. Please come and create your own experience. read more

Tai Kee Wonton is a simple eatery with food that's to the point and very enjoyable. Service is decent and you order through QR code on the table. Staff is kind and will answer any questions you have. The vibes are truly mom and pop and that's what makes it endearing. On this trip, my husband and I ordered their fried wontons, spicy eggplant, the dry spicy wontons and the Taiwanese sandwich. The fried wontons were thin and oh, so crispy! I could inhale many of these. It's paired with a sweet and sour sauce. The spicy eggplant is a nice side for caloric sanity and packs a nice punch with chilies. The dry wonton at a medium is nicely spicy as well. The Taiwanese sandwich is much larger than I expected and had a nice piece of pork belly with cilantro and crushed peanuts and some sort of diced pickles. You could honestly share it because if it's size, but why would you want to? I also ordered the horchata milk tea because why not? It was tasty and it helped quell some of the spiciness. They can't split checks, but it is what it is. Will come back because I want to try the other things. And maybe eat five million of those fried wontons. read more

Overall, 3.5 stars. Came here twice in one weekend. First time, we ordered the Taiwanese Sandwich which I recommend! Flavorful marinated pork that has a bit of that pickled cabbage to cut into the savoriness. Overall nicely balanced! There is a huge chunk of belly fat so ask for a knife to cut this into smaller shapes. Next, special beef noodle soup. The soup is "old" which is not a bad thing at all. It's been brewed with beef chucks for a long time that it adds into the flavor. A side of pickled cabbage is provided if you wish to dump it in. I recommend you do because it adds another depth to the flavor. Noodles are nice and springy and it overall just has this nostalgic factor to me that I adore it. The beef chucks are inconsistent in tenderness mind you. I had one piece that was ultra hard and the rest was soft. Recommend getting a knife if it's too rough. Taiwanese Wonton is their signature dish! I love the soup. Subtle in flavor yet has character and it just feels very comforting to drink and eat. The wontons fillings are pork only so if you were expecting shrimp, no such luck. However, the wontons wraps are nice and chewy, yet soft and silky too. Overall, very well made and I love eating this! Lastly the spicy dried wontons. We ordered hot and that was unexpectedly super spicy! It was just as spicy as those Buldak Instant noodles, so be warned! Although quite delicious, we were dying by the end... recommend you try medium first and adjust... Then I came again the next day for dinner with another group of friends. This time I ordered popcorn chicken and the fried pork cutlet rice plate. These are very tasty and I recommend them too! And the green onion pancake was delicious! As far as service goes, first day was pleasant with some of the wait staff greeting and being cordial. Second day, it was another set of wait staff and they provided the basics in customer service. Keep in mind, we had to constantly ask for things. For example, we had a party of 6 and we asked for 6 more sets of utensils and bowls because we plan on sharing things. Well they only gave us 6 bowls first round, so we had to ask for 6 spoons. Then we had to ask for 6 sets of water. It's like we have to command them what to do and they'll do it... Overall, I enjoy this place for the wonton soup, popcorn chicken, and the beef noodle soup. I would come back again in the future. read more

I wanted a comforting bowl of wonton noodle soup after having to be on a liquid diet for 2 days. I was debating between going somewhere familiar or being adventurous and trying somewhere on my list of places to try. I guess I was feeling adventurous because I told my husband I wanted to give Tai Kee Wonton a try. We ordered 3 dishes...my wonton noodle soup, popcorn chicken, and the special chili sauce with dry noodle (spicy). First things first, my wonton noodle soup was different than what I was expecting. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't the best bowl of wonton noodle soup I have had either. For some reason I was expecting some flat rice noodles, but was greeted with some different thin wheat ramen type looking noodles. I probably would have enjoyed a bowl of just wonton soup more to be honest. The noodles left a lot to be desired. The wontons had nice thin wrappers with succulent filling, so that was good, but I'm sure it was full of msg. I was very thirsty. The popcorn chicken was surprisingly bland. I honestly had high hopes for the popcorn chicken after reading reviews about it, but this may have been some of the blandest popcorn chicken I have ever eaten in my life. It left a lot to be desired. Some chili powder at least would have gone a long way. It just needed a lot more of something else as well. It was just very plain Jane. Any boba shop has better popcorn chicken than this. It was very disappointing, but since we ordered and paid for it, we ate it. The special chili sauce with dry noodles was exactly what it sounded like. I even asked for clarification if it came with any protein or meat and was told that it only came with noodles and sauce (this is why we ordered the popcorn chicken for some protein). I wish it had some minced meat or something. It definitely left a lot to be desired. This seems to be the recurring theme for this entire meal. There were no condiments on the table. If you want any additional chili oil, vinegar or soy sauce, you would have to ask for it and they would bring you out single servings of it. I didn't really like this as I couldn't season my food freely. I guess they want to discourage waste or something...not sure. Either way, I didn't like not having free access to condiments. Unfortunately, I don't see us returning anytime in the near future. Everything was edible, somewhat enjoyable, but also very underwhelming. read more

All of the fried items have an incredible "airy" crisp, and because it doesn't seem to leave oily residue, we also didn't feel too full despite ordering a lot. Every single dish came out unbelievably quickly. The red sauce in the pictures that came with the fried wontons and the meat cone is some kind of sweet and sour sauce while the brown sauce that came with the fried fish is also sweet but has tons of garlic in it. read more

Tai Kee Wonton is still operating and foods are still decent. Prices have gone up, but the place offers good service and good menu selections. We were immediately greeted and seated. Scan menu to order remotely and they will bring your order to your table. Generous portions. The bowl might look small, but it's filled with lots of rice in it. Minced pork rice bowl and wonton soup combo was more than enough for me. Seaweed side was good. Chicken steak rice plate was a bit dry (the chicken), but still very fulfilling. Casual Taiwanese foods and wontons. Tasty and delicious. Tables and chairs felt a bit tight and narrow in existing spaces though. You can hear everything people are saying over the tables. Parking lot was pretty congested on Saturday afternoon/after 1:30pm. Overall, it's a convenient little restaurant and we always leave after feeling very full. Not much has changed, but yes, prices are noticeably higher nowadays. Staffs are still friendly and welcoming here. read more

I've been searching for more good Taiwanese spots in the area, and this place has a decent service and a menu with many options. Ordered: - $8.99 Sweet Rice with Meat in Cone - $20.99 Stewed Pork Rice + Wonton Soup (4 pcs) - $14.99 Pork Chop Noodle Soup I really liked the wontons as the wrappers were thin and delicate. The wonton soup was also enjoyable, with a nice umami flavor. It was light yet flavorful. The sweet rice with meat in a cone was quite average. I usually enjoy the sauce that comes with this dish, but I didn't like the sauce here. The pork chop noodle soup had a similar flavor to the wonton soup. The noodles were okay--chewy and seemingly handmade (I'm not sure if they actually were). The pork chop was good, but I think it would have been better with chicken breast instead. read more

We were in need of lunch again (as usual) when running errands so we were looking at some options in the area. L O C A T I ON This is place is kind of hidden among a lot of business complexes in the Lundy Plaza. There's a few other restaurants and shops in this plaza. There's plenty of shared parking and found a spot around it. M E N U They have a variety of Taiwanese fare. We focused on specifically a wonton noodle soup and something else. That something else was a Special Chili Sauce with Wontons as we usually tend to like chili wontons at other places and we like wontons plus this place sounds like they specialize in wontons! The special chili sauce with wontons which we ordered mild was....definitely not mild. My mouth was on fire. So don't get this if you're thinking you're get a slight tingle. This was tongue, mouth and back of throat spicy which kept building up the more you eat. Thank goodness we had the soup for a non-spice break. Outside of the spiciness, the wontons were actually well made and looked super legit. The flavor for just being pork was actually super good. We were expecting 10 wontons and got 11 instead which is always a win. The same wontons are in the wonton noodle soup. You get 5 wontons in this one. The noodles were bouncy, the wontons flavorful. The broth was also quite flavorful. The soup was a little pricey but for quality, I'm willing to bend a bit. S E R V I C E We ordered over the phone. They sounded really friendly and told us it would take 15-20 minutes. It was roughly that much time to get it. O V E R A L L With prices plus an unexpected unpleasant spicy meal, I'd have to tug this down to a 3 stars. It's quite a detour unless you're in the area, so I'd love to explore more of the menu to get a better idea of what else they serve. So I'd be willing to come back. I'll definitely update this review in the future if that does happen. But I'd happily get that wonton noodle soup again in a heartbeat or any wonton dish just not the spicy one as I don't trust "mild" anymore. read more

Been coming to Tai Kee Wonton for years since they were first opened by Saratoga near I280. It's a family owned small business from Taiwan. They brought their famous wonton to the States and it's been a favorite of the Chinese community. My Husband is a fan of their spicy chili noodles. Fair warning, the heat is from a lot of black pepper so it's a long burn. However, it does come in 3 levels of heat. Our staples are spicy cucumbers, spicy fried tofu, and green onion pancakes. There's a garlic dipping sauce that comes with the tofu and pancakes that is to die for. We are vegetarians and that's why we don't have much to say about their wontons, but I hear they are excellent. I highly recommend coming here for a try and enjoy their family friendly service. read more

Reminded me of home! I went here during one of my trips to the bay. I was feeling a little under the weather so I wanted something soupy. I ended up getting the beef noodle soup and the wonton soup. The beef noodle soup had amazing flavor. The beef could have been more tender but I still loved it! The wonton soup was amazingly comforting and had a light flavor. The service was great and everything gave a homey feel. I will definitely be coming back next time! read more

I heard good things about Tai Kee Wontons, specifically their wontons. Not sure how wontons could be better than homemade ones, but these have exceeded my expectations. We came pretty early, around 11:30 or so I believe, and it was pretty empty, so service was super fast. We were seated immediately and told to order directly from the QR code displayed on the table. Since I wasn't particularly hungry, I went for a small order of Taiwanese Wonton Soup, and my boyfriend had a Minced Pork w/ Rice & Small Wonton Soup combo. Food didn't even take five minutes, but it came out hot. First sip of the soup was delicious. I think it's a chicken based soup, not exactly sure, but it came with diced up chinese celery and crispy fried onions. It was flavorful, fragrant, and light. Not too oily either. What surprised me the most was the wonton wrappers. They were silky smooth. I'm not sure how they do it, but the wrapper is almost slightly translucent. The small order of the wonton, five pieces, was the perfect comforting breakfast, and I felt satisfied. I also got a taste of my boyfriend's minced pork mixed with rice and it was delicious too. There was just enough sauce to mix everything thoroughly. Everything mixed together had a slightly sweet, but comforting taste to it. We're used to something more savory, so this was a surprise, but it worked well. Despite the mixed reviews, I think we ordered all the right things or maybe we came on a good day. I'd definitely come back again for the wonton sometime! read more

Good ol' homey Taiwanese food. The wonton soup is a must have - delicious thin skin and filling, with a tasty broth. Add some side dishes to go with that - my favorites were the popcorn chicken, fried tofu with a savory garlic sauce, eggplant (although a bit small) but packs a punch, and the cucumber for a fresh crunch. It's small and seems to be crowded but they're quick and efficient. This business really represent the Bay Area! read more

The Taiwan-style wontons are some of the best wontons I've ever had. Great food and fast service to boot.

This place is surprising - it's tucked in a tiny mall in the middle of a light industrial area. This means the neighborhood is essentially like a ghost town in evening on a weekend. But when we visited at 5:30 on a Saturday afternoon, it was pretty filled up with guests which is a great sign. We ordered a small sample of iconic Taipei dishes: 1) minced pork over rice combo with a small wonton soup, 2) popcorn chicken and the 3) beef noodle soup. The minced pork (滷肉) is done in the finely minced style (versus diced) which I prefer. Although I felt that the cinnamon flavor was a bit over represented, I liked this Lu Rou Fan and thought it was pretty good. As for the wonton which is what the restaurant is named for, it was just OK. The pork filling tasted fine and was "fluffy" meaning it was not dense. The skin was very delicate - perhaps a bit too delicate because there were a lot of pieces that had broken off into the soup. But to me the wonton was just OK and I'm glad I ordered this smaller sample size as part of the combo. To me, the wonton is better than most Taiwanese wonton I've had. But I really prefer Hong Kong wonton so my opinion here is biased. The popcorn chicken was spectacular. The spiced salt (淮鹽) was really on point and the chicken and the basil was crunchy and delicious. To me, this was the star of our meal. As for the beef noodle soup ... it was not the worst, but it was not the best. Firstly the bowl was small for the price. The beef was definitely tender and beefy. But the soup was too oily and could have been more intensely flavored. The noodles were meh - not as good as handmade hand pulled noodles. I guess for me, the issue is that at $20, I was expecting a lot better or a lot more. For the quality and smallish quantity, I'd be happy if this were $15. But at $20, not so much. In summary, I am not a Taiwan native. But being forced to go to Taipei monthly for several years, means that I've had an OK amount of exposure to a variety of Taipei local dishes. This meal was decent and I can see why the joint was hopping with many obviously Taiwan customers. If I were in the area and had a hankering for Taiwanese food, I'd come back. But I'm not sure I would go out of my way for this. read more
