Came here for Asian Restaurant week, ended up ordering from the normal menu. Found a new fav Taiwanese place! I came here with a party of 9 people on a Saturday for lunch, so we made reservations a few days before we went. And I'm glad we did because we would have not been able to be seated. There were a few smaller groups waiting at 1 when we got there. The place is clean and casual. It's loud, filled with friends, couples, and families. The decor is cute. But let's get to the food. The star of the show! It offers what I would say is a pretty extensive Taiwanese menu. I got the spicy beef tendon noodle soup as my entree. Very generous portion, with a lot of beef tendon. They don't give you any normal beef though, which is what I normally am used to in tendon soup. And it's delicious. With the drop in temperature it was exactly what I needed! As for the spice, it's not a really traditional Taiwanese spice, more of a numbing Szechuan spice (Mala). I want expecting that. And this is probably not a dish that someone who cannot handle spice should eat. It's pretty spicy. With some of my friends, I shared two appetizers. The popcorn chicken and fried tofu. Both were A+! No complaints about either. The chicken was amazingly flavored, and the breading was light and crunchy. And the fried tofu was great! Beautiful soft tofu on the inside, with a light pan fry on the outside. Eat with the pickled cabbage on top for an amazing flavor and texture combo! And I got the Matcha tea with boba. They're boba is pretty good. Sweet and just the right amount of bite. Not too soft or hard. The matcha tea was average. As with most other boba places you can adjust sweetness level and ice level. We wanted to get dessert, and they had amazing-looking toasts in pictures on the tables. But when we asked about them, they had run out. Devastating. Overall, f you're looking for good Taiwanese food and are near Bridgeport. This is a great place to check out! read more

I came here with a chinese/taiwanese friend on a Tuesday night around 5:30pm. There's a small parking lot in the front, which may cause troubles during peak times, but we did not have an issue with this. The restaurant front is very clean and easily stands out among the other shops in the small strip mall this resides. The inside is well lit and is a balance of being trendy and modern. Service seemed to be an issue with several poor reviews, but the service we received was very good. Water was always refilled and our food was brought promptly and without much of a wait. We ordered cold noodles with sesame sauce, braised pork over rice, oyster omelet, taiwanese sausage w/ garlic, popcorn chicken, and strawberry shaved snow. The cold noodles with sesame sauce was so flavorful and the noodles were well cooked. The dish had a certain level of creaminess as well which was fantastic. The braised pork over rice was also another great dish. The pork was soft and moist and the vegetables had a nice crunch to it showing that they weren't overcooked. Overall seasoning and flavor was great and the rice wasn't overly moist and was cooked to the right level of firmness. The oyster omelet was probably the best entree we got because the texture and flavors were phenomenal. There was just the right amount of stickiness and gelatin in the omelet and there were a good amount of oysters used in the dish. The green leafy vegetables used added good flavor and complimented all other ingredients included. I'm not sure what the orange sauce was on top, but it had a slight hint of sweetness that worked very well with the omelet. The taiwanese sausage was not salty or oily and had a nice level of sweetness to it. The garlic was finely sliced and tasted very fresh. Both went very well together! My second favorite dish, which wasn't too far behind from the oyster omelet, was the popcorn chicken. There were a few basil leaves on top to add flavor and presentation. The chicken batter was seasoned well! The right amount of salt and pepper was used and the chicken was so moist and good texture. The batter was also not overly crispy... this was very, very good. For dessert, we got the strawberry shaved snow and the texture of the snow was obviously achieved using a machine. It means a lot that this place invested money in getting the right equipment to make shaved snow the right way. The fresh strawberries on the side, the custard-like pudding, and the mouth-feel and texture of the shaved snow was unlike anything I had ever tried before. The texture is somewhat like soft serve ice cream combined with the lemon shaved ice you can find at baseball games combined. I loved the food so much and the service was great. I would love to come back and I already know that my dishes will include popcorn chicken, oyster omelet, and some sort of shaved snow right off the bat! I'd like to note that this was my first experience with a restaurant focusing on taiwanese cuisine. My chinese/taiwanese friend said the food is pretty authentic. read more

4 stars - I'm a fan! I recently came here with my fiancé in the mid afternoon. The place is clean and spacious, very comfortable setting unlike the cafes in Chinatown which are loud and sticky. The place is still new so hopefully it stays this way. Drinks: good Appetizers: popcorn chicken - breading is good but felt like it was missing a dip. Gua bao- I did not like this one at all despite the reviews. Not sure how it should taste like but the peanut sauce is overpowering and takes away from the pork belly. Entre: had the spicy beef noddle - it was okay ; braise pork over rice was really good. Their menu is extensive. I will be back to try other items. The location is easier to get to than Chinatown. Free parking but small lot! read more

Holy traditional dishes, batman! We ordered 5 dishes and all of them were delicious :) Ground pork bowl is super authentic, the only downfall is that the meat to rice ratio is a little off. Super flavorful and I love the side of cabbage. Pork ears - they include more than just the ears and it's super crunchy! Lotus root - a Little sweet for my likes but still crunchy and pickled well. Oyster Vermicelli - a little off in flavor but freaking delicioussss! Almost made me feel like I was eating at a little shop in Taiwan. Potstickers- probably the best Potstickers I've had in chicago. They're skin is thin but still holds well. The sauce is delicious and they use corn starch instead of flour to crisp them up. Nommmsss! read more

I've been here a fair share of times and I think this place is really decent. The quality was definitely better back when they were less popular, but the food is still pretty good! The Okinawa bubble tea here is a must-try--our waitress recommended half-sugar and I thought it was the right amount of sweet. I've had their pork chop rice box (which they gradually gave less of as time went on) and they do a great job getting that crispy texture. My favorite dish here is the popcorn chicken, as I've gotten it consistently piping hot and tasty each time I've ordered it. I wasn't too fond of their noodle dishes though, as I thought the broths weren't very flavorful and the noodles quite soggy. As a lot of people have mentioned in the comments, the authenticity of this place is questionable for some of their dishes but I think the food is still worth trying. The atmosphere is great, the servers are really nice and it's not bad value for your money! read more

After living in an area with limited Asian food for the last 3.5 years, I am so glad to be back in Chicago and was even more excited to hear there was a new Taiwanese place in town! I have been craving braised pork over rice due to my frequent drama binges - haha - so I came here with my parents on a Tuesday night. Like most mentioned, the menu - while cute - is difficult to read as the font is on the smaller side. After struggling to read the menu, we ordered the oyster omelette, spicy beef noodles, braised pork over rice, and a pork belly rice plate. Since it's been so long since I've had Taiwanese food, I really enjoyed everything. The spicy beef noodles actually had a good kick to it along with the good flavor. The braised pork over rice really hit the spot. There is a small lot with parking spaces out front, but I can imagine that it would fill up quickly during busier hours. A little on the pricier side for the area, but would definitely visit again if I need a quick Taiwanese fix! read more

Came by Thursday night right before 6pm for a table of two. We were seated promptly, but the place was already quite packed. While they do have a parking lot, it is shared with other occupants and was at capacity when we went. Luckily, as we are in the hood, we just walked. Upon entrance is where they make drinks which makes sense, as you can quickly grab a drink to go. The space overall was inviting, modern, with cool/cute décor. The painted wall art with the animated food was fun to see. My dad and I ordered the oyster omelette, rice tower, two DanZai noodles, mango shaved snow, and a jasmine green milk tea. Let's first talk about the positives. Their drinks are great, much better than KungFu tea. I love the ability to customize the sugar and ice levels, so with mine, I got no sugar, no ice, with grass jelly topping. I enjoyed this very much. The shaved snow was pretty good, except the fresh accompanied mango pieces were on the tart side. The addition of the milky pudding was a nice treat. The DanZai noodles were tasty and came out piping hot, which is always a good sign. The large shrimp was not overcooked (though I did eat this first before it continued to cook). I liked the use of Chinese chives. The ground meat was also flavorful and the egg was properly seasoned. The broth was light but still tasty and their noodles were very good. The oyster omelette was good and different with a unique thin egg/flour batter. I also rather enjoyed the rice tower which had meat on top of sticky rice. This had a nice sweet but peppery flavor to it. Now, to everyone's complaint that I also unfortunately experienced: their service. We ordered my drink and apps well before our noodles. Our oyster omelette was given wrongly to the next table who didn't even order it. Our main server was bantering with the other girl who messed this up, but knowingly, they didn't acknowledge anything. The other table kept and ate our dish, as we waited for our new one. We saw it come our way after already finishing our noodles, but another table fought for it, claiming it was theirs, even though they were seated well after us. The server obliged and he gave it to them. I inquired about still waiting on our two apps at this time, and while our server was nice and came back to clear our tables, didn't mention anything about the timing of our apps. Luckily, they came shortly after, but didn't really get much of an apology, as I don't think anyone really knew what was going on. Throughout this whole experience, several of the servers gave wrong orders to various tables, among many other issues. While they seemed to be well staffed in quantity, no one really came by to check on the tables, unless you asked first, in which they were definitely nice and genuine then. A plus, they did seem to know the menu well as they were able to explain and give recommendations, but a nearby table was annoyed (I would be too) that they were out of quite a few things. Overall, they all need some serious training and the manager should be on top of it. Their service was bad, even for casual Chinese restaurant standards. Props to the chef/kitchen though, as food coming out timely didn't seem to be the problem. While I am not accustomed to Taiwanese food, many of their items do seem to be quite traditional, so don't come here expecting popular items you'd find in Chinatown, let alone crab rangoon and orange chicken. While my pops' bias lies with Cantonese cuisine, he actually enjoyed their food. I agree, as I sincerely thought each item we got was pretty good. Since it is café style, dishes are supposed to be on the small side, with their menu featuring mostly apps and sides, along with quick rice/noodle dishes. You're not going to get bang for your buck here, but pricing is appropriate. There is definitely a market for this, as I could see myself back in the day hanging out here all the time with friends after school and grabbing some snacks and milk teas. I welcome the addition to the B-Port hood, just hopefully the service improves. I would like to come back and try some other food items, but definitely for their many drink options. read more

Milk tea here is better than any other places than ones in Chinatown! If you are a tea lover, you will definitely like this place. The portion of foods is good for me too, but it is smaller than some places in Chinatown. Food tastes decent. I would not mind going back to this place. However, the service is indeed a bizarre experience. I am not sure if the casual atmosphere of the restaurant is because of the interior design or the fact that servers are casually hanging out themselves. A half of staffs are chatting in groups and the other half is busting their asses. I asked one of the busy servers if he is the manager but nop. The manager was on his phone with the other group.. lol The servers also do not speak much English and do not know English names of their dishes. I think that is why people have complained about getting wrong orders. They served me fried tofu when I order fresh tofu with duck eggs and yes I was pointing the dishes with my fingers to make sure. And yet I got fried tofu lol. read more

Finally, our search for popcorn chicken is over. My girlfriend (whose dad is Taiwanese) and I moved to Chicago a year ago from San Francisco. Over that time, we have slowly found replacements for our favorites, but were not able to find popcorn chicken. It is here, ladies and gentlemen. Popcorn chicken in all its delicious, fried glory. So good. I do wish it was more spicy and less sweet, but hey, this is a huge step up from no popcorn chicken at all. Additionally, my girlfriend is a boba fanatic. Her favorite places included Kung Fu tea, chatime, and vivi. Until today, when she declared that Taipai Cafe's is the best she's had in Chicago. Mad. Props. Overall food, service, and prices are good. Would visit again and would recommend. read more

I mean... there were definitely some pluses, but the minuses wayyy outweighed them. Service was pretty attentive, but the food fell short. - special mix w/ seaweed, vermicelli, dried tofu etc. (appetizer): This was delicious, but the portion was sooooo small for $3.75. - pig ears (appetizer): I don't think they blanched the pig ear at all/enough. It tasted too "piggy" if that makes sense. The garlic was also not spectacular. - Popcorn chicken: Some pieces of the chicken were very nicely marinated/flavored, the other not so much, so that's kind of weird. It was perfectly fried though. Again, very small portion. I'd go to Saints Alp for a much better version of this dish all day errrrday. - Spicy beef noodle soup: This was pretty decent, but not mindblowing. - Danzai noodle soup: I had high expectations for this. The soup base was very bland, but the minced/braised pork was delicious. - Braised pork over rice: This was delicious. Might be too greasy for some though. I'm glad we got the small portion. - Mango shaved ice/snow: I gotta hand this to my bf. After rather disappointing entrees, the rest of us did not want to try the desserts. "He was warned. Nevertheless, he persisted." But the shaved ice was so fine and silky. The mango pieces were sour and not ripened enough. So I'd recommend you ask the restaurant if they have good mangoes that day. Even though some dishes were tasty, and the drinks were good, overall we walked away not feeling satisfied. I think all customers dining there were native Chinese and/or Taiwanese though, so maybe we just did not appreciate the food as much as we should have. One tip: The team at this restaurant wears denim tops as their "uniforms". I happened to be wearing a denim top. Sliiiightly awkward. read more

The noddle soup was good. However, my mini hotpot was burned in the bottom when served to me. But other dishes was okay.

Hot New Taiwanese Cafe ! Completely packed the first few months it was open, had to settle for carry out : EAT LIST: Gua Bao ($4.95): Soft white bun that some Chinese Restaurants used to hold Peking Duck. Filled with soft marinated pork belly. (Pretty darn tasty. Soft, almost melts in your mouth, very flavorful) Oyster Omelet ($6.95): This is pretty much Taiwan's National Dish. It's everywhere in Taiwan and everyone makes their own version at home. So, no matter how many restaurants you order it from, odds are no two will be the same. Judge each on their own merits. (This version had nice amount of oysters to "omelet mix." Flavor was nice and wasn't oily. Would definitely order this again.) Spicy Beef Noodle Soup $8.96: This is another main Taiwanese Dish that you can find all over Taiwan. (The broth was very aromatic and flavorful. Pretty different from other versions I've had in Taiwan and here in Chicago, in that the spices are very strong. My wife thinks it's the best she's had! The beef was soft and tender. The noodles had a nice bite. Definitely a must try) TIPS: Located in a new strip mall with mall parking. Close to Halsted stop on the Orange Line. They do have two separate areas for carry out and dine in. CONCLUSION: Very nice take on Taiwanese Cuisine. Bring some friends and enjoy! read more

Uhhhhh....was this suppose to be good? My friend and I came here during lunch. He ordered the Taiwanese milk tea with boba which was too sweet and milky for my taste. I still believe Kung Fu tea is significantly better. He also ordered the crunchy spicy chicken and I ordered the beef noodles soup. The food was mediocre. Similar to food you can cook at home but worse and over priced. You can definitely find better food elsewhere in Chinatown or even try Homestyle taste restaurant down the street. Our order with tip was close to $28. The waiters were constantly confused with what they were doing. Not worth it, NO GO! read more

This place recently opened and it looks great on the outside. The interiors are modern and rustic with a cute wall of foods with faces. There's quite a selection for food and drinks. However, the service is slow and chaotic. The portion sizes and taste need work. If you're in the mood for Taiwanese, you're better off at Saints Alps in Chinatown Square. If you're looking by for drinks to go, this is a fantastic choice. By the way, I changed the sweetness of my Taipei tea to 50% and it came out decent so I think most people should reconsider any drinks at its 100% sweetness. read more

Very excited to hear about this new Taiwanese restaurant in our neighborhood! Decided to give it a try last weekend. There is a small parking lot (~15 cars) right in front of the restaurant. We ordered their spicy beef noodle, braised pork over rice, rice tower, and a cup of grass jelly milk tea (yes! they sell boba tea as well!) Good- the flavor of the beef noodle was good, reminding me of those small restaurants in Taipei. There is few preserved cabbage as the topping, which is essential for a bowl of authentic beef noodle. The grass jelly milk tea turned out to be great too! Bad- We asked for two cups of water, but the cups they used had a pungent Clorox smell! Eww! Smelled it once and we decided never to touch those cups again. Also,they made a mistake on our order the first time they serve the dishes. Their rice tower is not quite authentic. The sticky rice had little flavor, nearly plain. Bottom Line: I will still keep coming back for their tea and other dishes. But next time I will bring my own water cups. read more

Maybe good enough but not impressed enough to me. Sourage is good, milk breaks okish. Hot pot is so so. The strawberry toast is good. read more

Remind me of Taiwan. If you miss Taiwan or like Taiwanese food this place is the first choice.

Love their Taipei Milk Tea. It has the strongest tea flavor. Okinawa milk tea was ok but Hokkaido almost has no tea flavor. The kids love the popcorn chicken. Spicy beef and/or tendon noodle soup is a must have and so representative of Taiwan. Ordered online, easy pick up. read more

I'm a big fan of Taiwanese food and drinks and I'm so glad there's one near by my neighborhood. I've been to this restaurant a few times since they open and I'm still loving it. Yeah I agree they are very packed, but I think it's worth the wait. Food are great and their drink menu are wonderful... By far they have the best milk tea. And the dessert is a must try... I m definitely going back again. read more

Recent transplant to Chicago and still in a search of a good Taiwanese restaurants, where they serve street vendors food and I think I've found it here at Taipei Café. We ordered Oyster Pancake, Beef Noodles Soup, Minced Pork Rice and they were all very good. The oyster pancake is a good size and the sauce is great. Beef Noodles Soup's beef was tender with good amount of pieces, my complain would be the noodles they used, wish it was a thicker type of noodles and not thin noodles. The minced pork rice I would say is the best, taste very authentic and would love to order 1 more to go. We also ordered the cold noodles to go, the flavor was good but it was just okay, nothing too special. It's very closed to the Orange line with a very short walk if you don't want to drive but there are plenty of parking around. For the prices, portion and flavor, it's pretty good. read more

food was good as hell and the lady serving me was super nice the gua bao had a PHAT piece of pork in it too

Excellent Service, very clean establishment, the food was decently priced for the quality and taste of the food. Me and my date has two beef noodle soup but we wanted pork intestine in our soup and they happily accommodate. The popcorn chicken was one of the best I've had since my trip to Houston. There tea selection is huge, but be careful what you order my first tea wasn't that good but I'm glad I gave them a second chance and went for a full fruit tea. I like to stick to the recommendations. Def coming back to try their rice dishes. read more

Rating: 4.5 overall but 5/5 for value This Taiwanese store is slightly out of the way but definitely worth. I can't comment completely on it's authenticity but it's in line with the other Taiwanese places I've eaten at. There's free parking at this location as well! My friends and I ordered: Plum friend sweet potato - highly recommended Crispy pork chop - seemed to be pretty standard fare and was good Chocolate egg waffle - this one was by far the most interesting thing for us. The waffle was springy and the entire dessert was delicious The menu is really large and a bit overwhelming, but it'll be worth going back to try a few other things. read more

Overall, I thought this restaurant was good, but could use some improvement. Popcorn chicken is tasty, but could use a dipping sauce since it's kinda dry. Basil chicken was flavorful, but has tiny bones in it which makes it challenging to eat. The waiter was practically whispering even when I told him I couldn't hear him; that made it hard to order. The seafood hotpot was just ok. It was essentially seafood in boiling water. I figured it would be in a flavorful stock or sauce. We asked for sauce and was given a chili oil , which helped. Not sure if I'd go back, but it wasn't a bad experience. read more

Only been here once so far, but already big fan of this place. Imagine Taiwanese snack food, done right. We got a bunch of dishes and everything was done well - either met or exceeded my expectations. They serve a lot of the classic Taiwanese fare. Great service as well -- servers are all bilingual and were very attentive to my table. Cute, casual ambiance. We got the pork belly over rice, ground pork over rice, spicy beef noodle soup, popcorn chicken, lotus root, and soft tofu with preserved egg.Pork belly done well and had good seasoning and texture, generous helping of pork belly (not just a whole bowl of rice!). Popcorn chicken - probably the best I've had in my life -- well-seasoned, extra crispy. Spicy beef noodle soup - ok, met my expectations, wasn't disappointed, but wasn't amazed, either. I also got the roasted milk tea with grass jelly, and I really liked it! I'm from California, so I'm usually disappointed with boba in Chicago (sorry Chicago, love you, but it's hard to top Sharetea, bobaguys, happylemon) -- but I was quite happy with the flavor of the roasted milk tea here, and the grass jelly was high quality stuff, too. Will definitely come back here again as well as recommend to my friends! read more

I'm Taiwanese so when there is a Taiwanese restaurant open I'm gonna try it for sure. It is the best Taiwanese restaurant in Chicago the food was very Authentic I felt like I am at Taiwan's night market. I love the oyster & pork intestine vermicelli and guo bao, of course the dessert have to order a Taiwan famous shaving ice. The milk tea there is the best in Chicago their ingredients came from Taiwan. The boba is so good the textures omg can't event describe the goodness of it have to try it on your own. The owner is Taiwanese too she came and ask how's everything and she is so nice. read more

Taipei Cafe has some of my favorite Taiwanese snack foods combined with a boba tea cafe in a modern cafe setting. The rice boxes are a great value and offers a well balanced meal, since it comes with your choice of meat with soup, steamed veggies, braised soy sauce egg and rice. The portions are big enough to share between two people or save for a second meal. Crispy pork chop is delicious! Braised pork belly is also good and a lot of meat if you're in a carnivorous mood. They also have an extensive drinks selection and authentic milk teas with just the right strength, creaminess, boba texture, etc. A select number of drinks including Pearl Milk Tea are available as a $2 add-on to the rice boxes. I went for weekday lunch and experience was seamless - no wait, great food, fast and friendly service! read more

Taipei Cafe gives me that unique problem of not having the stomach capacity to eat everything that looks good to me on the menu. Some of my favorites are the popcorn chicken, crispy chicken breast with chili sauce, taiwanese sausage with garlic, gua bao, braised pork over rice, and braised pork belly over rice. It would take me forever to describe each of my favorites, but I really have to highlight the gua bao. The bun is soft and fluffy, and it's stuffed with a generous slice of braised pork belly. The pork belly is the perfect combination of tender meat and melt-in-your-mouth fattiness. The pickled mustard greens are the perfect sour/tartness to cut through the fat and the ground peanuts add a nice sweet and crunchy texture. And nothing washes it down better than their milk tea which is perfectly sweet and full of tea flavor. My favorite is the Honey Milk Tea: so simple but so satisfyingly good. Taipei Cafe is one of those restaurants that I default on if I'm having a hard time choosing a place to eat because the quality is always consistent and I am always satisfied after a meal there. read more

Hidden Taiwanese Cafe gem near 26th and Halsted. They do a lot of small tapas style plates. There selections are extensive, I personally recommend the Taiwanese Garlic Sausage, it was so good, the Pig Ears was something new for me and I wasn't disappointed. I also recommend the Crispy Pork and the Crispy Chicken Breast in Chili Sauce. They have an extensive selection of Milk Teas. Personally I would wash everything down with the Honey Milk Tea. A great place to try if you're looking for something a little different from nearby Chinatown or if in the summer a great place for dinner after the Sox game. read more

Absolutely delicious Taiwanese food! I couldn't believe it, I was just biking and randomly decided to stop here. The service was quick and friendly, and I was seated immediately.

The food came out quick and tasted so fresh and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for good Taiwanese. read more

Based on some of the reviews, I was a bit apprehensive about dining here since everyone was pretty much mentioning the curt service but maybe we lucked out because our visit went problem free and although I am not Taiwanese... food tasted authentic enough...I had the Danzai Noodle soup and husband had the spicy beef noodle... both were pretty good... Minus one star because it did seem that they added a ton of noodles and not enough of the meat portion....(only one shrimp). Other than that... its worth checking out and the prices were reasonable enough. read more
