We walk by this place all the time! Smells good every time! We had the pleasure of going on a week day night, wasn’t super busy at 7:30ish-8 pm. The papaya margarita is delicious with mezcal, a little on the spicy side, but very yummy and can taste the mezcal. The Szechuan noodles were the highlight for me, flavorful, spicy, and delicious! Everyone around us got the 5star chicken entree, which was great, there’s definitely enough for 2 and even some more for left overs! Our waiter was Jubril, and he was attentive and helped me pick between 2 dishes (very honest!)

i came here after a recommendation of a lowkey spot w great food. i was highly disappointed because the food did not live up to the recommendation. i got duck fried rice and short ribs. the short ribs had a weird sugary artificial sweet taste to them?? 3/10
the duck fried rice truthfully tasted like nothing?? 1/10 just like buttered plain rice with scallions on top. not even soy sauce or anything. the duck wasn’t notable? someone could’ve said it was chicken and i would’ve believed them. please improve the DUCK fried rice because i feel like i could’ve gotten better fried rice at the mall.. i also tried the shrimp which was pretty good. i tried the shrimp which was pretty good. the noodles were fresh and the green beans were okay. all in all, our server was nice and the restaurant was cute. maybe i came there on a bad day where the chef didn’t really feel like cooking but i don’t plan on coming back here on a good day.

Decently packed for a Thursday night. They had a variety of Asian dishes, mostly Chinese, and some Korean. I really enjoyed the dumplings and the duck fried rice. The beef and broccoli was good too, but the beef was slightly chewy. Beware, they serve large portions, so sharing dishes might be a good idea. I also noticed after finishing the food, my mouth was salty.

Went here on a date with my girlfriend who has celiac and several severe allergies – they took each of them very seriously and checked with her before finalizing any dish. The whole meal was delicious and so relaxing to know we were in good hands. The specials are always great and the staff is so good at recommending drinks and food.

Fried dumplings 5/5
Soup dumplings which I love take time and are 2/5. No soup a lot of meat
Wings were 4/5
Service overall was great
Place had a dj at night on a weekday and was nice music
Overall ok place
They serve alcohol too for decent prices
For me the food is just ok but if I’m in the area I may get the fried dumplings

Went to five star last night for dinner and definitely give them five stars! The staff were awesome! I ordered a Mezcal sour (cocktail) and my boyfriend got a beer. The only not great thing I have to say about five star is the drink prices are way high for the amount of drink you get (cocktail in picture was $15). After that drink I switched to wine and the bartender gave great suggestions and helped me pick which one would be best for my taste (gave samples)!
For food we started with the pork belly buns and they were delicious! For our main dishes I got the crispy sesame beef and my boyfriend got the shrimp and scallop dish and we shared fried rice. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! The shrimp and scallop dish had a nice spice to it. The fried rice could have used a bit more flavor but we enjoyed it none the less. All in all we will definitely be back!

I love 5 star and thus rate it five stars. They can do gluten free dishes and their food is extremely good. Typically we get takeout but went with a couple of people on a recent Thursday night. Staff were attentive and overall service was good. The music was good but just somewhat loud, so it was hard to hold conversations.

Awesome place for a bite to eat. I was looking for a place to eat dinner late and found this spot and was beyond happy with it. We had a fantastic friendly server Ryan and he made a suggestion of some green beans that were out of this world. We also had sesame chicken which was fantastic. Finally we enjoyed a bottle of Sake, absolutely nothing to complain about… will be back very soon.

I was excited to try a new restaurant. This experience went downhill quickly when I saw the staff wearing shirts that said “Hide Your Cats”. This is not funny. If you think it is funny, you need to try harder. I have had better food at strip mall restaurants. The scallion pancakes were very dense with a burnt taste. The chili noodles and spring rolls were nothing special. There is nothing 5 star about this restaurant. I will stick with Taipei 101.

The first time I came here the food was amazing, but my past visit was extremely bad. I ordered general tso’s both times and the second time there were barely 10 pieces of chicken and the sauce was so watery and tasted like alcohol. Not sure if it was an off night but don’t think I’ll be coming back 🙁
