What diners are saying
Customers describe this long-standing "hole in the wall" as a reliable spot for affordable, authentic Taiwanese comfort food, particularly praising the fried pork chop over rice and braised pork dishes. While the atmosphere is often noted as quiet or sparse, diners appreciate the friendly, attentive service and the unbeatable value, with meals starting around $9.
