Description
Once requiring a trek to Long Island City, this spot brings reasonably priced Taiwanese fare directly to Manhattan. While the exterior looks like a simple takeout joint, the kitchen uses high-quality ingredients for a menu that extends far beyond dumplings. Diners can expect juicy thigh-meat fried chicken cutlets with a crunchy exterior, Bian Dang rice bowls, Taiwanese popcorn chicken, garlicky cucumbers, and sweet finishes like shaved ice and bubble tea.
