Chinatown Bento Boxes in a Room for Twelve

Braised pork with cabbage and soy eggs in a tiny Pell Street room, with a vegetarian option.

Order a bento and a bubble tea.

🍱 Lu Rou Fan and Pork Chops

Taiwan Bear House puts Taiwanese comfort food front and center at 11 Pell Street. The bento boxes pair braised pork with cabbage and soy eggs, keeping the meal built around familiar classics. Lu rou fan and braised pork chops round out the menu, with traditional dishes at the heart of this down to earth spot.

A vegetarian stir fry option gives the order another direction, while bubble tea adds something to sip alongside it. The dine in area has space for about a dozen people, and conversations carry across the intimate room. A quiet weekday lunch here comes on a distinctly small scale.

The quick turnaround makes a stop between other plans an easy fit. Doors open daily from 11 AM to a quarter to 8 PM, covering both the midday meal and an early evening stop before the night gets going.
