So happy to see another California favorite making its way to the Valley! If you're looking for a spot that combines authentic Taiwanese comfort food with a fun night out, this is it. We had a blast singing our hearts out in one of their karaoke rooms. The Karaoke Experience: They have two private rooms that feel very intimate and cozy. The song selection is impressive--lots of "old school" hits and a great international variety. They even have disco lights (though we were having so much fun we forgot to turn them on!). Pro Tip: There is a $300 minimum spend for the room. While the bill adds up quickly, it's very reasonable if you're splitting it with a group of friends. The Food Highlights: Everything we ordered was a hit. You can tell they aren't cutting corners on flavor. Changhua Ba-Wan: This was the star of the show. It looks unique, but the taste and texture were absolutely delicious--a must-try! The Classics: The Popcorn Chicken and Fried Chicken Fillet Rice were perfectly crispy, and the Stinky Tofu hit that authentic funk just right. Seafood & Savory: The Oyster Omelette and Mixed Three-Cup Squid were packed with flavor. Comfort in a Bowl: The Braised Beef Tendon Noodle Soup had a rich, deep broth and tender meat. To Drink: Wash it all down with the Sour Plum Drink--it's the perfect palate cleanser for the savory dishes. The Verdict: Whether you're here for the Sichuan spicy wontons or just to belt out some tunes, you won't be disappointed. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Had an amazing karaoke night at Tofu King Phoenix. The food was fantastic, loved the Taiwanese dishes like oyster omelet, stinky tofu, and more. Karaoke was on point with songs in all kinds of languages and styles, from different eras to even kids' songs. Don't think it's just Chinese songs, the selection is huge! Prices were reasonable, the decorations were fun, and the staff was super friendly. Totally reminded me of Taiwan.

This is a new restaurant serving delicious Taiwanese food. If you like stinky tofu, this is definitely the place to visit! All my Taiwanese friends agree that their stinky tofu tastes really authentic and flavorful. Service was good. Since it's a newer restaurant, they don't have everything set up yet--it's still missing some nice decorations, and it would be great if they had windows to brighten up the space. But overall, the food is excellent, and I'm excited to see how this place grows!

I was very excited to try this place, since it's rare to find a Taiwanese restaurant here. The service was great--very friendly and truly Taiwanese. However, the food was just okay and a bit pricey in my opinion. The flavors were fairly close to authentic Taiwanese cuisine, but overall it felt average and not particularly special. I left feeling a little disappointed.

Taiwan Hot Dog & very BLAND Thick Squid Soup with Vermicelli

Menu is limited, can't understand why all foods on the menu are not available all day. Super disappointing to be so limited. Went for lunch, all the portions were small except the Thick Squid Soup with Vermicelli which had absolutely no flavor. Understandable vermicelli is cheap so there was a big bowl of it but it was so disappointing it tasted like nothing. The changhua ba wan's sauce was delicious and the texture was impressive yet the inside meatball was extremely tiny. Best stinky tofu in the valley so far, not great but it is the best one I've had here. The broth from the beef tendon noodle soup was delicious!! Great broth, not much noodles and not much tendon but the tendon was very soft & tender. Best dish out of the 7 items ordered. Pork chop was bland & not crispy. I think they need to meet the vendors of Herculean Chicken and use their batter concoction! Only 1 person works there, not very friendly or accommodating. Saw her struggle with non Mandarin speaking customer. Will be difficult for those who don't speak Mandarin.

Newest Taiwanese restaurant in town, but it's already mostly definitely the best in town as well. Food tasted absolutely amazing, raised the standards for their competitors for sure. Service was a bit slow, cuz the owners just started running it, so it'll take some time for them to settle and sort out this situation. Can tell interior decoration is in progress, but looking forward to seeing the end product. Food is worth every penny I spent. I will definitely be heading back in the near future!

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)!

Not a lot of choices on the menu but it's very authentic Taiwan food from I could tell! Mom and pop…read moretype of shop that have all the classics and pretty good boba tea in house so you could get both in one stop I really liked the beef roll with cilantro inside. The beef noodle soup is also good according to my husband. Only thing to note is that portions are pretty small here so you'd probably need multiple entrees per person.

This has been on my list for a long time to try and finally came in tonight for dinner…read more The place is very casual and frankly kind of dumpy but those are the best places for good authentic food! My family is from Taiwan and so I was looking forward to coming here and giving it a try. Now granted, I am picky when it comes to Taiwanese food, so if not made right, you will know about it. We ordered the ground pork over rice and Taiwanese braised pork over rice combos. Both dishes were pretty good. I dont have high expectations here in Phoenix and I was pleasantly surprised! We also checked out their cold case and lots of comforting dishes like Taiwanese pickled cabbage, marinated pig ears, marinated seaweed and tofu gan. We got an order of the seaweed and tofu gan and it was good. Also had a boba tea to go and it was as expected. Boba was chewy like it should be and for $3.35, pretty good deal. Overall, the food was good and there is a specials daily menu by the cash register but its written in Chinese, so you probably need to ask the owner what specials they are having or bring me with you! When we came tonight there was eel over rice, 3 cups chicken over rice combo and papaya milk and green bean sweet soup. I'd definitely come back here again when Im in the mood for Taiwanese food but I would skip dining in. I felt like I was in some school cafeteria, zero ambiance. But the food was legit!

Ordered the pork and chives dumplings, XLB, and Beef chow fun. Service was expedient and waters were already preset on the table. There was a QR code on the table that allowed you to order online or if you waited a few more minutes, server will come over and take your order. All of our food came fast... within about 10-15 min. Chow fun had the wok hay ( wok air that makes food taste good) and thick slices of velveted beef slices. Pork and chive dumpling and XLB were juicy and moist and delicious with the ginger black vinegar chili oil sauce. I really like the food here and staff moves fast. Great place for a quick lunch.

Good spot in Mekong Plaza. Was sat right away and ordered the spicy wontons, Xiao Long Bao, and…read moreChicken Sheng Jian Bao. The spicy is mild overall with a light chili spice on initial bite. It fades, so the dipping sauce was nice to have with it. The Xiao Long Bao were the winners of thee meal and would be why I go back. Easy to eat and tasty. I only wish the soup inside was a bit hotter. The Chicken Sheng Jian Bao was good, but the breading a little thicker than I personally like. This felt more like a dessert with the sesame bottom. Good taste, just heavy. Felt like we were rushed a bit and we're asked several times if we were done. There were empty tables, so that knocked it from the higher 3.5 side to the lower. Yelp is a flat star rating.

It may be a smaller, family-owned spot, but the heart, passion, and consistency here are unmatched. Hands down, the best dim sum I've had in Arizona. Even when they're incredibly busy (which they always are for a reason), the service never feels rushed or careless. Sunni was absolutely amazing--so kind, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. You can tell she truly cares about the guests and the experience. There's something really special about supporting a local family business that pours so much love into what they do. You feel it in the food, the service, and the atmosphere. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. And if you have, you already know exactly what I'm talking about

We were seated right away because the restaurant was pretty empty except for one other table. The place is small and the chairs we sat in were sticky. The server was nice and attentive. I'm not sure if we just chose the wrong dim sum to order in the menu but it wasn't what I expected. First bite of chicken feet tasted off. The shumai was meaty and felt too much in one bite so I only ate one. The rest was mediocre. We did order two main dishes as well but we thought the main dishes were a lot better than the dim sums we ordered. If I had to rate the food. Main dishes: salty fish and chicken fried rice 5/5 spicy eggplant w/ beef 5/5 Dim sum: Shumai 3/5 Braised chicken feet 1/5 Custard buns 3/5 Shrimp dumplings 3/5 Shanghai soup dumplings 4/5 Bbq pork slices 3/5 Steamed pork ribs 3/5 Overall experience was ok. The dim sum was definitely not the highlight. I think it's the main dishes that were good that we wished we ordered more of as they did have a generous selection to choose from in the menu.
