Usually there is a bit of a wait, but we got lucky that Sun morning and got there right as they opened, so we were the 4th party to get there. Loved the vibe, very chill and relaxed and not too fussy with the decor. Nothing was taller than torso height, so you could see the whole dining room from front to back. We started with pea shoots and sloppy bao. For mains we ordered big chicken & waffles and the hashbrown with egg. Pea shoots were well done, but nothing too interesting. Sloppy bao was indeed sloppy. Glad we tried it, but def wouldn't need to order it again. The filling was fine, but we've had better versions of bao buns before. Chicken and waffles were good and the flavors were interesting. There was def way more chicken to waffle ratio. You get 1 square waffle that is cut diagonally into 2 triangles. The chicken is much larger, but the crispy coating kept separating from the chicken so it was hard to eat even with cutlery. The sauce they served it with was delicious though and def wish it had more of that sauce, which was its redeeming feature. Hashbrown was the star of the show though. Thick and crispy with the runny yolk on top. Def sealed the deal for that meal. Service was impeccable and friendly so def good on that front. A place to be seen and to talk about after going. Would want to try their other dishes, but I think their bakery was better by far.

Good quality but pricey Taiwanese food. Lu Rou fan 7/10 It is nicely seasoned and prepared and only about half the container is rice. $30. Fried eggplant 6/10 Small serving of eggplant, some salt seasoning. $15. If you want takeout you have to use their website and checkout online. It'll take about 10-15 minutes. Saturday late morning still had lots of seating available. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly.

I visited this location with my SO who had recently went and recommended the place. I enjoyed the food and the service was great we had the marinated cucumbers, the beef rolls and the chicken bun! We shared all the plates bc they are big enough to share. Everything on the table was tasty and flavorful. To drink I had the breakfast of champions which I loved! The plant daddy drink that my SO had was also good. The ambiance was good. It was packed when we came but not overwhelming.

Now I heard about this place from the show Fuck That's Delicious on YouTube so I already had high expectations going into this place. Just a warning, we choose to sit outside so we did not get the full ambiance experience so most of my review is food. But I do say that if you're just here for the food, it is incredible and does not need the ambiance. The menu was spectacular, we had so many dishes from scallion pancake, which had the CRAZIEST dipping sauce I've ever tasted. This chili, soy dipping sauce had my friends and I in a choke hold. We also had its iconic Lu Rao Fan and many more. The flavors were amazing and did not let us down even as a Chinese guy. This is a must try!!!

One of my favourite restaurants in Brooklyn! The Big Chicken Bun is divine!!! Super crispy chicken with an incredible mayo on chinese bolo bun Lu Rou Fan was alright, wouldn't re-order next time. I also recommend the dessert on the mochi donut. I was seated outside this time, but I think it's better to wait for an inside seat if wait is sub 15-20 minutes.

We went on a Sunday lunch, and the wait wasn't too long(about 15 minutes?) I think overall it was good but not something that is on my mind or too crazy. That being said, it was still good and I rather not judge this on taste too much since people prefer different things. We got 3 things: the dumplings, omelette, and the mullet roe noodles. Not sure if it's something I would be craving to come back to but would still want to look to pick up their cookbook.

In this part of Brooklyn that I wouldn't normally frequent 15 years ago, I was astounded to see a much gentrified and flourishing multicultural culinary destinations. Came here to sample an inventive Taiwanese fare with a Michelin Bib recognition. It has a sister bakery that sold excellent pastry options reflecting the diversity of its neighborhood. I enjoyed the vegetarian sesame noodles --
