Taiwanese Classics Behind a Takeout Front in Long Island City
Slurp beef noodle soup or grab a popcorn chicken bento at an unassuming LIC shop hiding a secret dining room.
🍚 Taiwanese Staples
Lu rou fan is the reason to find Gulp / 929, an unassuming Long Island City shop on 27th Street that reads like a small takeout counter from the sidewalk. Step inside and a secret back room opens up, cozy and intimate enough for a low key date night.
The menu sticks to spiced Taiwanese classics. Beef noodle soup comes with tender meat and flavor soaked noodles, while bento boxes pair popcorn chicken with radish salad and house made chili paste. Refillable iced tea keeps glasses full through the meal. Taiwanese street food sets the base, with a few Asian fusion touches around the edges.
Seats are limited, with a steady stream of delivery pickups moving through the front. The kitchen opens daily at 10 AM and runs until 11 PM Sunday through Thursday, stretching to midnight on Friday and Saturday for a later weekend bowl in Queens.
