We ordered takeout and overall it's just so so. Rice with chicken chop was good. Also the appitizer combo, especially pig ear was good.However, Xiaolongbao doesn't have soup inside. Cumin lamb was too spicy and oily.

It’s not delicious. This is not Taiwanese food.1) Salty soy milk: only three pieces of fried dough sticks, not enough shrimp, pickled mustard, and no chopped green onion.2) Egg rolls: Are there cucumbers? Also pictured the sweet noodle sauce. .
