I saw this place had quite high reviews, was hungry so I tried this place out.
I got the Crispy chicken and the Taiwanese railroad bento box with sausage like another reviewer wrote about.
It is true the restaurant is handled by an old couple and not very good at English.
I ordered on the phone at lunch so while the food was ready, had to wait on line.
It's actually impressive how much food they prepare.
There are no seating inside, purely just takeout.
I was going to pay by credit card, but she said it will cost extra $1-2 or something, so I paid by cash. As for the food, the Crispy chicken tasted alright, but some parts of it were overcooked.
The inside wasn't dry, just the outside a bit darker than it should be.
The fried egg was overcooked and all brown.
The sausage had this strange sweetish tangy flavor to it, but not for me.
The portion size was a decent. A lot of people have said this isn't like your average Chinese restaurant, and it might not be, but to be honest, it felt quite average besides the extra Taiwanese dishes.
It seems like a place to fill your stomach and good for locals who like the food.
But the food is simply Ok, not a place to go out for a treat.
I would recommend Great East instead

Fantastic! Really nice people who operate the restaurant, tasty, best quality food with really large portion.
We were the first customers in the morning and went back again the same evening.
The Taiwanese Rice noodles dish ran out but the nice owner lady went downstairs, brought up more rice noodles and made us a gigantic portion it took us two days to finish at home.
Thank you for the generosity.

The food is large portion for sure.
The taste of the food is above average.
I cant say it is authentic taiwan food but it is pretty good in flavor.
Some of the meat is little dry in general.
The rice is soft and the sauce is perfect match with the rice
