Reviews
The braised pork belly over rice had three large slices of meat, but the meat was a bit too lean which made it taste tough since it was cooked for so long.
The popcorn chicken was hot and it tasted fine, but the flavor profile was very different from the traditional Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The basil flavor didn’t stand out.
The stir fried cabbage was also average. It was a bit too oily and had almost no flavor.
Overall feel that the prices here are a bit too expensive given the food portion size.
The food is consistently delicious and made with real care. Nothing feels overdone—just warm, familiar flavors that taste like home. What makes it even more special is the hospitality. The team is genuinely kind and welcoming, like you’re being taken care of by old friends.
If you’re in Washington and craving authentic Taiwanese comfort food, I can’t recommend this place enough. We’ll be back again and again.
The chili wontons were not authentic whatsoever, but tasty nonetheless. Not sure where the inspiration came for such a peanut based curry, it reminded me of Thai and Malaysian cuisine.
The standouts were the popcorn chicken and the deep fried pork cutlet, both of which had the classic salt and pepper seasoning.
I like the buns as well with pork and peanuts.
Service was a bit slow, considering the restaurant was not busy.
My friends and I came in because we liked that the name sounded like “manga” (haha) and the other restaurants in the area were either closed or packed.
So glad we made the decision to pop in because we had a great time here! Our waitress was so sweet and funny, she reminded me of my aunties from Hong Kong~
The food was also BOMB and came out so fast!!! We were shocked. Prices were good too for the area, I think we all spent ~20-30 for dinner and a soda.
There was also plenty of seating but a quiet cafe like ambiance which was really nice; I tend to get headaches in really loud venues so the quiet was much appreciated.
Pros:
• friendly service
• food comes out fast
• decent prices
• lots of seating
• quiet cafe like ambiance
Cons:
• parking lot fills up fast during dinner times and on weekends; if you want to park without stress I’d avoid these times, but this goes for every restaurant in this square
Not only was the food taste plain, but also the attitude of the waitress was also upsetting. We asked her to put some salt and hot sauce to the soup to make the base taste better, she questioned us with a terrible attitude “Everyone else is eating this why do you ask for more”? It was one of the worst experience I’ve ever had dining in after COVID.
What’s worse is the dining environment, there’s more than 2 cockroaches running around, and the waitresses pretended they didn’t see it and just let it go.
