If you want for some sigsig in Corpus Christi, they have it here. Nice services, food is not too great but I like it, not bad. I think they might need more lightning in the restaurant, it feels kinda dark and sad. read more

The tables were sticky, and the place is very outdated and somewhat rundown looking. Bathroom needs a lot of attention as stain tiles on the ceiling and does not smell pleasant. Order was taken and the complementary egg drop super arrived. It was 99.5% broth, extremely salty. And two little pieces of scrambled egg with no vegetables. Received my entrée with steamed rice and a eggroll. The eggroll was OK and the steamed rice was good. The entrée itself is placed in the bold would've been called soup. It was extremely oversized. Very little meat and when you add in the vegetables, the sauce to solids ratio with probably 70% sauce and the 30% was solid. Very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

The food was top notch amazing. We ordered Dinaguan, general tsos chicken, and hunan chicken. And don't forget to order a halo halo for dessert!!! This restaurant has the most authentic Filipino food in Corpus Christi! read more

Food is ok, what gets me is the 4% surcharge/card use fee they have. Even if using a debit card, charging a fee for use of a debit card is illegal in Texas, they are profiting from this debit card transaction. Attorney general needs to get notified of this issue. read more

will never go back!! food was ok. ladies restroom was disgusting... there were 2 stalls, one was un flushed, and the other had two small "puddles" on the floor in front of the toilet. soap and paper towel dispensers were broken (although they did provide a pump bottle of soap and a roll of paper towels). I could have let the restroom pass, but I noticed a thick black hair on the salt shaker, and on closer inspection, there was a roach leg inside! I told to employees about all of it, and both had the same response," sorry". read more

The service wasn't that bad overall, but the final straw was when they gave me tiny little plastic utensils

Pretty glad I found this place. I was surprised to find a place in Corpus that made lumpias and pancit. The pancit was some of the best I had in a while. As for the service, my server Wanda was excellent and very professional. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid. The food has been consistently good all of this time which says a lot. Taiwan has a flavor that I've not been able to find at any other establishment so it's one of my top 5 comfort foods. I usually lean towards the happy family, chicken and shrimp and shrimp rolls and they never disappoint. I don't dine in very often anymore but the interior could use a little TLC or minor renovations. Other than that this place is a hidden gem. read more

The place said it's Taiwan Restaurant but when you come inside, they have a sign with Filipino food. Staff is super friendly! Loved that it's not a buffet like most typical Filipino restaurants you find here in Texas. I came in a little early so I ordered the tocino with fried rice. I was so glad it was made just like back home and it was good! Big portions for only $10.95! Ask for some sawsawan- yum! I also ordered lumpia. 6 pieces for $2.95 sooo good! I was so full and was bummed I couldn't eat any halo halo. Will definitely be back when I'm in CC again. read more

I used to defend this restaurant from people claiming the service was bad or that they found roaches in their food. It never happened to me and I just couldn't see that happening here. This all changed the other day when I went to pick up takeout to bring back to work. I am a registered nurse, I don't have much time on my lunch but being that I had a medical appointment prior to going to work that day, I decided to get lunch from here bc i was fasting earlier in the day. I called ahead that way it would be ready when I got there. When I arrived, my order was sitting with the cashier. I told the cashier I was there to pick it up, to which he replied "give me a moment". He wasn't doing anything but proceeded to bring menus to like six tables, pick up dirty dishes and greet other customers. All the while two waiters are just standing against the wall chitchatting when they should be doing what the cashier is doing. Covid is going on, cashier should not be handling money and menus and having direct customer interaction except when checking out. Germs spread that way. Additionally, having done this, he had me waiting at the front for over five minutes with a growing line. I was tempted to grab my plate and go. When he got back, I mentioned that the waiters should be doing what he just did instead of him, he needs to wash his hands, and that he shouldn't keep customers waiting so long with takeout as most are on a short lunch break and don't have that much time. He mumbled something back, i couldn't really hear it and just ignored what i said. I took my food and left, drove back to work. I started eating my sesame chicken and after about halfway through, I noticed a HUGE ROACH in my food! It was cooked with it. Gross. I called the restaurant, they offered to refund, but that was it. I understand there isn't much that can be done (in that situation) but this happens here TOO often. This restaurant needs to be gutted and thoroughly cleaned and renovated to prevent the roach infestation that occurs here. I hear of too many incidents with people having roaches in their food at this restaurant. It's disgusting, unsanitary, and the health department needs to shut this place down. I felt queasy the rest of the day, and because of that I recommend you do not eat here unless you enjoy insects in your food. read more

The lunch special is a good deal and I enjoyed the hunan beef, but the dining room wasn't very clean. They brought the food out quickly. It struck me as authentic with decent portion sizes. The fried rice has very little egg and no vegetables. They also charged me $2 to pay by card without verbally informing me. read more

I remember first going to Taiwan in 2010. The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly and attentive. I went today, and it was sad to see a change in ambiance. Food was good but not like before. We had sizzling rice soup and it didn't have the vibrant vegetables as it used to. It was mainly broth. We also got beef and broccoli with fried rice and that was good as well. Really hoping Taiwan could get in touch with the service and quality as before. read more

My food was raw.. our waitress was completely rude even the people in front of was complaining about her being rude so it wasn't just us "being mean" we waited 30 minutes until someone finally gave us our check which wasn't even our waiter. I didn't eat anything off my plate ... I just drank my soda and left... I wouldn't ever come back or recommend this place to anybody. The only good thing was they took our meal off the check for being raw just paid for appetizer and drinks ... read more

Do not order the beef teriyaki off the kids menu! It's tough, extra crispy, and super sweet. Our waitress was really nice and helpful though in providing a solution. We ordered the beef and broccoli instead and our kids split it. read more

Greasy, not very good and the hygiene inside did not inspire confidence. Thankfully didn't find any bugs like other reviews but food not nearly good enough to risk going back. Do yourself a favor and go to Dao or JaJa if you want Chinese read more

My wife and I always stop by this place when visiting from out of town. They have the best tasting food around. Would definitely recommend. read more

One of my favorite restaurants. The sweet and sour chicken is so good. I wanna put the sweet and sour sauce on everything.

Great Chinese food. The sizzling rice soup is a must if you visit this restaurant. I've never gotten anything here that wasn't great. Surprisingly the fried rice that comes with your entree isn't really up to par but everything else is good. read more

If I could give a zero, I would. The food was disgusting. Let's start with the egg drop soup. It tasted like it was cooked with an old sock. It wasn't even yellow and there was no egg to be found. My entree was the garlic chicken and there was no trace of garlic taste at all. And my chicken was fried. The sauce looked liked the soup. The fried rice was bland and didn't taste fried. The egg roll, well, let's just say it was in line with the taste of everything else. We spent $30, with tip. Definitely not worth it. read more

Food and service are always excellent. The humans beef and scallops and sesame chicken are delish.

Beef and mushroom was amazing. Sesame chicken was good as well. Egg rolls had good flavor. Service was great. We did not dine in it was to go. They gave every condiment you might need. Decent sale as well. read more

When you sit down on the chairs wrapped in plastic - like a 1960's grandmothers place - you will notice a sticky coat of grease on the tables....at least nothing will slide off the tables When I walked in, there were 2 tables ordering, and 1 table eating. I ordered the house special kung pal (3 kinds of protein). Waited over 40 minutes to get the entree - only comments from the waitress "they thought your order was one of the togo orders, so they rushed that through" and "They are rushing on your food, it should be out any second" (only ten more minutes) When it came out, " be careful, it's very hot". Not even close! The mushrooms and squash weren't even warm, they didn't see the wok for more than a couple of seconds. I mentioned the problem to the waitress when she finally made an appearance in the dining room again. A few hems and haws, a few started apologies, only to have "I will tell the kitchen about it so they take care of it next time" Go up front to pay, host says "everything OK?", I tell him of the problems...."sorry to hear about that, it will be 19.38" You really don't care anything about customer service, you run 40 minute ticket times with an empty restaurant, and you can't even warm veggies.........go ahead and close, let someone who cares try read more

Service was terrible! Asked for a refill on my soda and was told "just 2, no more!" The food was very disappointing. I ordered the sesame chicken and the chicken was so small it crunchy from over cooking. Not worth stopping. read more

We had dinner here earlier this week. I think it was Wednesday around 7:45ish. We were seated immediately and had our drink orders taken. My husband and I both ordered off of the dinner (I think) section. Basically combos. I got the half lemon chicken/half garlic sauce chicken with wonton soup and fried rice. The lemon chicken was sweet and sour chicken but with lemon sauce instead of sweet and sour sauce. The garlic sauce chicken was good but tasted to many other chicken dishes from Chinese food restaurants. The "fried" rice appeared to be and tasted like brown rice. The wonton soup had a chemically smell to it, which was awesome to experience. The egg roll was awesome! My husband got the beef and cauliflower. I tried a bite and thought it was good. The restaurant itself is dated and dark. Our waitress was very friendly though. In total (before tip) we spent $27 and some change, which is way more than I feel like it should have been. The meal stayed with us when we got home and experienced stomach issues. So that's cool. read more

All time favorite for the Filipino dishes . All the food is good though. Always great service

Came in for some great General Tso chicken. My favorite dish here. Excellent service and great location.

One of my fav spots to get take out from when Im in CC. This is my absolute favorite place to get hunan beef (or chicken...or both, ha). The vegetables are always super fresh and the meat and sauce is always really tasty. Decent portion, especially if you like to mix your white rice in. That being said, this is only thing I get from this restaurant. I know what I like! So if your going to get something, definitely give the hunan a try. I never eat there, always pick up. I do remember I had taken my mom to dinner there a while back, she didnt like her dish at all (why I stick to what I know), she had only taken one bite and when she asked the manager to change it out (at that time an older woman), the manager was basically just like "sorry no exchange." I was just kind of like...O___O...wtf...why not? Lol. Meh, didnt seem like a very smart move in terms of customer service but whatever. Just get the hunan to go, extra spicy, and you'll be good. :) read more

From the outside the place didn't seem attractive . We traveled from San Antonio and booked a party of 40. The service was A++ they made sure everything was up to our expectations they had 4 servers attending our guest at all times which made the experience perfect. We never had to wait for drinks to get full, or food to be brought in timely manner when requested. We absolutely were shocked on how well we were taken care of. We would definitely go back and have our next event at Taiwan. Thank you to the owner for making the reservation process very easy. read more

Great service, but food was mediocre. I had Gen Tao's chicken- ok flavor, very sweet, but not spicy at all. Very disappointed in the fried rice- looks like white rice with nothing else. Egg roll was good. Egg drop soup had a funny smell(like old grease), but a very rich flavor. Only ate 2 bites of that. read more

Well, after reading previous reviews, I'm surprised that I still went ahead and tried it out. My husband was craving panicit, (filipino noodle dish) so of course I used Yelp to find a filipino restaurant. When I checked out the menu at Taiwan Restaurant, they had filipino dishes listed and I was in the same parking lot, so I decided to give it a try. Now mind you, if you see a review that has the word "cockroach" in it, you would say, "heck no!" real quick. I always look at the date of reviews and the most recent ones were good so I said I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. I walk in behind a gentleman who was dining in. The guy at the counter said he would be right with me and continued to seat the gentleman. THEN, he didn't come back to me. Luckily, another guy came and asked what I needed. I ordered the pancit and asked if they still have lechon kawali, (fried pork belly) and he said yes so I asked for an order of that as well. He took my name and number and said it would take 25mins, so I went to wait in my car. 30mins, no call. I went inside and the same guy said he was going to check on the order. Another guy came behind the counter and proceeded to ask if I'd been helped. I said yes and that the first guy went to check on my order and he asked what my order was. I told him and then he looked at my ticket which had the pancit written down but not the lechon kawali. Then the first guy came back and told the guy that something happened in the kitchen, something burned. He said it in english. The first guy must've said it too low because the 2nd guy asked again if the pancit was ready and the first guy repeated what he said earlier, except in filipino. (I'm half filipino and understand a little bit) So the 2nd guy said, "sorry you waited for nothing." It would've been a good time to ask for a discount, but with this pandemic, everyone is hurting. So I went back to wait in the car for about 20 minutes. Other than the mix-up, my husband liked the pancit, no cockroaches, freshly cooked, and I had calamansi, (filipino lemon?) so all's well that ends well. Maybe next time I'll try the lechon. read more
