The best service I haven't had for a while in the States!! The staff really heard the customers' feedback and fulfilled the requirements to meet the expectation! They are about to open a Taiwanese steak house (buffet style) which is 20 minutes from Taiwan Bistro. This is one of the best choices for nostalgic Taiwanese TSMC employees! read more

Lunar New Year 2025 is Jan 29 and the invites are rolling in to celebrate the Year of the Snake! I was invited here tonight for a LNY dinner and it was a lot of fun! Brother Wen (owner) decorated the place nicely and tonight the restaurant was packed with people! There was red everywhere! Food tonight was special for Lunar New Year and the sesame oil chicken soup was set up for each table! This is one of the dishes they excel at and you have to call ahead a few days to have this dish ready when you come. We also had Chinese sea bass tonight and that is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. I love fresh fish cooked well and this place does a really great job! We also tonight had Buddha Jumping Over Wall dish and I enjoyed the many Chinese veggies in the dish including bamboo shoots. There was also a nice sautéed cauliflower dish, just like the way my mom cooks it. I even tonight for special occasion had a Taiwan beer, it's been a long time since I had one and being in a Taiwanese restaurant, it felt appropriate. A really fun evening tonight and Brother Wen even went around to every table to wish everyone a very Happy Lunar New Year! I just wished we had gotten the karaoke machine going, that would have been so much fun! Happy Lunar New Year of the Snake. May you have good health, wealth and happiness (and yummy food in your tummy)! read more

If you speak and can read mandarin and seek a real Taiwan ambience at any price this place maybe for you. Expect lots of Taiwanese expats from up north and gangsters partying away here, also dogs are welcome and can sit at the table. As to menu all in Mandarin and posted on the wall and if you come late expect many dishes to be gone, what they have is pretty decent by US standards but very pricey. Also they informed us some dishes would take 30' to arrive, huh the place was mostly empty??? Rate three stars for high price, slow food out, so many things sold out but the food was good read more

It's such a nice surprise to see authentic Taiwanese food in Phoenix! Their menu is quite extensive with so many Taiwanese dishes. There's even karaoke in the main dining room. The owner told us that they are expanding and will serve banquet style food with private rooms in the next building. They'll have an additional 60-80 seats. Service was attentive. But it was odd that when we paid cash, the server asked us how much we want to tip before she went to get the change. Will definitely visit again when we are in the area. read more

We were excited to try this spot but was quite disappointed. Their menu changes often and is updated on a white board so couldn't try their beef noodle soup like we wanted after driving 30 minutes to try it. Didn't really communicate how to order - told us to read the board, thought we would order at the cashier near the board but told us to sit down and someone would come. Seems like a better spot to order large dishes for family style - we were the only couple there, other tables were filled with larger parties. Braised pork rice $9 - not enough sauce but overall tasty. Price was fine. Popcorn chicken $9 - crispy but not much flavor. Fried basil was a good touch but the ton of minced garlic kind of masked the basil flavor Oyster omelette $18 - biggest disappointment for my husband who grew up in Taipei. Was more of just toppings and egg - should have a glutinous touch with tapioca or sweet potato flour but it was all egg. Price quite high for this too We also ordered a veggie dish but saw them deliver it to a different table. They said they didn't order it but started eating it lol so they kept it. The staff did take it off our tab after we let them know. Overall we wouldn't return. If you live down south, there is another casual Taiwanese restaurant that we much prefer with better service too. read more

This is about as authentic a Taiwanese dining experience as it gets in Phoenix. The menu can change daily, depending on the availability of ingredients and is generally only in Mandarin. read more

Just a quick review. We finally made it out to Taiwan Bistro and overall, I would say the food is very good and quite authentic. We actually were the only ones there because we went very late, just before closing. The waitresses were, naturally, very attentive. We ordered 9 dishes because we just wanted to try a bunch since it is a long drive for us. Mapo tofu was very good. It had the "ma la" numbing spice so if you don't like that, you won't like this. Panfried dumplings were crispy and tasty. Wonton soup had plenty of meat-filled wontons and had A-choy in the broth which was a nice touch. The braised beef and beef noodle soup both tasted authentically Taiwanese. The beef was tender which is a must. The pork dumplings were good. We somehow ordered plain Chinese sausage which I can get at any Chinese market. It was fine. Nothing special. And, lastly, the green beans were good, but oddly it had tripe. It was good, though. I happen to like tripe. So, I would recommend Taiwan Bistro if you are looking for authentic Taiwanese food. read more

Came here with recommendation from a friend on Christmas Eve! You have to call ahead and make a reservation so you can't walk in. You know it's authentic because menu is in Chinese and it changes daily. We got the ginger duck soup, fried chicken, pork belly, clams. All were good. read more

This is literally a racist establishment. As a half Asian dark skinned man I woefully submit this experience. On thanksgiving day of all times the manager told the hostess to refuse me service. I believe I had one too many buttons undone (2) on my polo, so maybe looked slightly boogie nights. None the less, a very well put together fit and appearance. I'm crushed. Yellow on yellow crime read more

Popcorn chicken and milk tea are so tasty!!! My kids love it. The shrimp fried egg are fantastic too! Love this restaurant. Highly recommend!! read more

Definitely authentic. But I can't read Chinese so I don't know exactly what I'm getting. You need to go with someone knows what he/she is getting! Servings are in big volume so be careful! Especially when you did not get the right food you were looking for! read more

Authentic Taiwanese food. No sweet and sour pork on this menu! We had the cucumbers and spring rolls for appetizers. 3 cup chicken and cumin beef for mains. And shrimp fried rice. All were good and large portions, three of us ate and had leftovers. We'll be back to try more dishes! The staff speaks very little English, but the menu is in English and Chinese. And they seemed ready to use google translate if needed. read more

Wouldn't serve me but was seating people. Saying that their kitchen is under renovation or some bullshit and I was extremely nice the entire time so I don't understand what the problem is read more

We went without a reservation on a Sunday afternoon and were not at all welcome. What kind of a restaurant is this? They only prepare enough food to serve those with reservations? Skip this one... read more

Absolutely authentic Taiwanese night market street food. They took over an old American Chinese food restaurant and maybe that's why the rating is still low. read more

From the online pricing info, this place is on the higher pricing side of the Phoenix Arizona Chinese/Taiwanese food market. There is not much special offering either. If you are a diehard and have to go to such type of food, this place may be worthwhile. Higher prices could be due to the cornered new TSMC workers and families. read more

Terrible terrible altitude, unbelievable, by Chinese standards or American. We drove all the way from Scottsdale just want to try something maybe authentic. There was only one table of customers in the whole place. We told the lady in the front we would like to order some to goes. Her attitude immediately changed. She said to go is going to take a long time and it is is going to be to be a lot quicker if we sit down and dine in. I asked how about we sit down and order food and then ask for to to go containers to take food home? She didn't know what to say and stood there speechless. Even though we drove a long way. We decided to leave. Understand she preferred dining in for tips, but what she did only make her lose a couple of hundreds worth order. We will order from Panda Express this time for the party. AND, never step in this place again. read more

Best authentic Taiwanese food and a great addition in Phoenix. The owner chef Wen and partner Peter are wonderful. The wait staffs are attentive and sweet. read more

Went on 6/2/24. Absolutely authentic Taiwanese food, and good family-style portions for each entree. We will be back to try more dishes.

The foods taste bland and are generally below average. The restrooms and other facility seem to be a normal cheap Chinese takeout establishment. read more
