Mama Lee

This neighborhood Taiwanese gem operates out of a tiny two-table spot in Bayside, Queens, where the grandmotherly owner cooks authentic Taiwanese home-style comfort food solo. The kitchen turns out made-to-order classics like generous beef noodle soup with tender meat, braised pork over rice, three cup chicken, fried fish, pork chops, meatballs, and veggie options. Portions are huge and satisfying, served in paper containers instead of plastic.
