When you get lucky, Legend Chicken is the best fried chicken in New York City and the closest thing to actual Taiwan you'll find here ...the cutlet, the popcorn chicken, real night-market flavor, an easy 7/10. But it's a gamble. Run into the rude staff and it falls apart: they won't even acknowledge you, they look miserable, and the chicken comes out overcooked and dry. It sometimes it feels like one of those gimmick restaurants where they're rude on purpose, except it's not a joke. In Taiwan the people behind these counters are genuinely warm, and tipping isn't even a thing. Here I've tipped generously and still been treated like an inconvenience. 繁體中文 我在台灣住過，每年夏天都回去，幾乎把全島的炸雞都吃遍了----所以這話絕非隨口說說。 運氣好的時候，Legend Chicken 是全紐約最好的炸雞，也是這裡最接近真正台灣味的一家----雞排、鹹酥雞、道地夜市風味，輕鬆有七分水準。但這是場賭注。碰到態度差的店員，一切就崩了：連看都不看你一眼，一臉不情願，雞肉還炸過頭、又乾又老。一致到讓人覺得像那種專門擺臭臉的噱頭餐廳，只不過這裡不是在演戲。 在台灣，櫃檯後的人是真心熱情，當地甚至沒有小費文化。在這裡我給了不少小費，卻還是被當成麻煩。 简体中文 我在台湾住过，每年夏天都回去，几乎把全岛的炸鸡都吃遍了----所以这话绝非随口说说。 运气好的时候，Legend Chicken 是全纽约最好的炸鸡，也是这里最接近真正台湾味的一家----鸡排、盐酥鸡、地道夜市风味，轻松有七分水准。但这是场赌注。碰到态度差的店员，一切就崩了：连看都不看你一眼，一脸不情愿，鸡肉还炸过头、又干又老。一致到让人觉得像那种专门摆臭脸的噱头餐厅，只不过这里不是在演戏。 在台湾，柜台后的人是真心热情，当地甚至没有小费文化。在这里我给了不少小费，却还是被当成麻烦。

This place is located in a food court, there used to be 2 places that served Taiwanese steak in…read morethis food court but apparently this one managed to survive. Price has been increasing over the years, cash only, and deposit for the hot plate when you dine in (you get your deposit back after you return the plate). Service is fine, though be wary of getting your change back. There were at least 5 times the cashier (both guy and girl) left out a dollar, and no they were not apologetic about it. You don't come here for ambiance, but you are signing up for a no frills meal that will sizzle in front of you and will always gather onlookers as they pass by. There are two flavors for gravy you can choose, mushroom vs black pepper. It also comes with eggs, some veggies, noodles, salad with a heavy dollop of thousand Island dressing, and a small cup of cold fragrant green tea.

Used to have the sizzling steak dish all the time when I was young at Flushing Mall…read moreSuch nostalgia I tell ya! Tucked away in the heart of Queens' bustling Taiwanese enclave, this spot is a hidden gem that punches way above its weight in taste and value. In fact, it was so hidden, we almost couldn't find the place! Got the sizzling sirloin steak with mushroom sauce as well as the sizzling chicken steak with black pepper sauce. Go with the black pepper sauce. It is much better. They charge a $10 deposit fee on your receipt which will be returned to you after you are finished and return their trays to them. Keeps folks honest and prevents sticky fingers from walking out with their iron hot plates. Prices are really reasonable for steak. There was also a lot of other interesting stuff on the menu that I can't wait to try next time. If you are in Flushing and you're craving authentic Taiwanese flavors that transport you straight to Taipei, look no further than 8090 Taiwanese Cuisine

The waiter was just doing his job, not super friendly or excited. The place is clean and simply decorated. We decided to get a braised combo (egg, tofu, seaweed & pig ears) and braised beef & tendon noodle soup & spicy beef noodle soup. The food quickly arrived. The noodle has a nice chew and the beef & tendon were melt in your mouth. Wish the broth could be richer. Overall a good bowl of noodle soup. The price was reasonable. Not wow. Good.

Ok, ok. I figured it out…read more So our local Chinese language school in Northern New Jersey would frequently order mass delivery from a restaurant in Flushing called OK Canaan. Of course, we expect the school to choose only the highest quality restaurants to order delivery from, and yes, it was quite good, considering that it was delivery that was lugged all the way from Flushing and ultimately had to be reheated in the microwave. Come this past weekend, we decided to plan a whole day trip to Flushing to visit Flushing Meadows Corona Park and eat some good Taiwanese and Chinese food. We search Yelp and we come across this place, OK Ryan. The restaurant is small and cozy, but packed a big bite. We had Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, Pork Chop lunchbox, Oyster Pancake, Pork Intestine Vermicelli, Taiwanese Sausage, and Golden Red Bean Pancake. Everything authentic and delicious. Oyster Pancake was probably the best I've had for a very long time - it was filled with oysters, not too doughy, not too saucy. Beef noodle soup had excellent depth of flavor and the meat was tender and delicious. We ordered way too much food and took a bunch of it home. Found out that the restaurant was cash or Venmo only. So I take out my phone and Venmo the bill. But wait, my Venmo app did not register OK Ryan as a new restaurant. In fact, it said I had paid this restaurant several... times.... before. Cue the freak out. Who hacked my Venmo account to buy Taiwanese food?? OK, so obviously, OK Ryan and OK Canaan are one and the same. Good for delivery, but now we know, much better in person. We'll try the real OK Canaan next time.

We came on a weekend dinner and surprisingly there was a lot of people before 5:15pm and no one really afterwards. I really appreciate all the Taiwanese decorations in their restaurants and the circular tables which I haven't experienced in a bit. In general, their menu was pretty amazing as it had all the Taiwanese hits that one could want and I seriously couldn't choose! - Braised Pork Rice Lunchbox - Absolutely loved the vegetables in this dish, it really reminded me of the the railroad lunch boxes you get in the train station. I think the braised pork was okay as there wasn't a lot of meat and it was a bit heavy on the fat. - Taiwanese Chicken Cutlet - I was a bit confused on first look of this chicken because they had some rick crackers stuck to the outside of it. I'm not sure if that's the way it's supposed to be but at least the flavors were spot on as it was ultimately crispy on the outside with a bit of spice and juicy on the inside. Probably the best dish of the night. - Pork Intestine Vermicelli - I've never had this dish before in the states so I was interested to see how this would turn out and it was actually a lot better than I thought. The flavors were pretty on point and the cleaned out the intestine well. I probably wouldn't order the lunchbox again, and although no dish extremely WOW-ed me, their breadth of Taiwanese dishes is pretty amazing and I will be back!

Visited Nan Xiang on a busy Saturday early afternoon…read more Once you enter, you can scan the QR code to enter your name and phone number and they will assign you a number. Luckily, there was only a short wait for our party of two at around 12pm...but I suspect the wait can be much longer later in the afternoon or during peak dinner times. Once your number is called, you go up some stairs to the eating/tabled area. There are tables and chairs for 2, 4 and more guests throughout the large space. The pace of the restaurant is very fast...as soon as you are seated, you are given tea and your waiter comes over right away to take any order you are ready to give. Its helpful to ask for a menu while you are waiting for a table so you know what to order when asked. We had some soup dumplings as well as a (large) soup. Everything was very good and out in about 15 minutes...very fast. The soup dumplings were great...but as expected are filled with piping hot broth so be careful when eating. They have some other appetizers and dishes available. There are also some drink options including cold teas, soft drinks and beer. Overall a great experience...despite visiting on a busy Saturday, we were in and out in about 40-45 minutes. Street parking can be tough in the area but there are a few garages around...one of the more reasonable options is the garage at the Skyview shops which currently charge about $6 for up to three (3) hours and is a short 5 minute walk away.

Udon noodles are delicious, rolls are crispy, xiao long bao are the best in Flushing, IMO. Ordering online from their website is best, plan to allow 30 minutes for your order to be ready.

We walked in with no reservation on a Sunday evening - and the place was clearly quite full, but we were given a table right away. I had the pork soup dumplings and noodles with scallops and shrimp. Both were exceptional. My friend is vegan and was able to order rice and they had a mushroom stir-fry on special - which was so delightfully flavorful. I also really loved the pickled veggies they give at the start of the meal. The concept of ordering on iPads was interesting - I appreciated the ability to order at our own pace, but it did make it difficult to ask for clarification on certain things.

I've finally found my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in the east coast. This spot is the spot to try…read moreif you want real authentic Taiwanese food with extensive menu items. My eyes lit up when I saw the menu. The owners are from Tainan, Taiwan which is often consider the culinary capital of Taiwan with many iconic traditional dishes and flavors. The restaurant is spacious but it does not have many table seatings (3-5 tables?). When we came it wasn't busy so we got a spot but we did see many people coming in for their takeout orders. The oldies they play at the restaurant take me back to my childhood. The place is structured very interestingly where it's an open kitchen so you can actually easily see how they prep the food in the back. We ordered: - oyster omelette pancake - mung wort kueh (4 pieces) - danzai noodle - mixed spice platter The oyster omelette was the highlight! The bottom is crispy and they use a generous amount of oysters. It's the most authentic oyster pancake I've had in the east coast. Alot of other "Taiwanese spots" don't make it correctly. I also love the mung wort kueh (hard to find places that sell this) - it's a fun snack to take to go. It's a savory mochi bun with shredded radish as the main ingredient. The danzai noodle is an iconic dish from Tainan. Its main star consists of the one shrimp and the marinated ground braised pork. Although I would prefer the dry version but they serve the soup version here. The broth tastes very clear and clean, doesn't feel like it's dosed with salt and MSG. We got the mixed platter - an iconic street food in Tainan is 滷味 (Lou Wei) which is consist of different ingredients tossed and braised in a soy-based spice sauce. They have a nice selection of Lou Wei options and the platter we got had pork belly, duck neck, tofu skin, and lotus roots. The spicy duck neck can be intimidating for those that have never had it but it is fun to eat. There are so many items on there that I can't wait to try. For first timer, definitely get the oyster pancake and Luroufan! I can't wait to come back and try more of the traditional Taiwanese dishes. They also have frozen dumplings that you can buy to go. 50 pieces for $28-$30 is a pretty good price!
