Ordered: -Pork Belly Gua Bao -Lou Rou Fan (Braised pork over rice) -Xiang Chang (Taiwanese sausage) Pro: -All the food was really good! We were impressed by how tender all the braised meats were. Our favorites were the Pork Belly Gua Bao & Taiwanese sausage (grilled and in a slightly sweet sauce). We will be back! -Friendly staff -Fun decor that makes you feel like you are in Taiwan! -Plenty of parking in an unassuming plaza -They have happy hour prices ($1 off drinks & braised items) Con: -We wish they had more Taiwanese dishes, but it is understandable since they focus on making their current menu items well

i dont often come here but when i do im never disappointed! the wait between ordering and receiving the food was reasonable considering there was only one waitress servicing 3-4 parties at the time i was there - great service at that, always checking in with us and making we were all good. the food was great and my fave will always be the bao buns! inside the restaurant was a little bit dim but had windows to brighten up the restaurant.

The food was delicious! It's a bit pricey. I thought it would have been nice if the beef combo came with a small bowl of rice. Beef combo was very flavorful

First thing that influenced me to come here was the ambience, I love the dim lights and wooden bar tables. I came in with my favourite Chinese Danmei novel, and it turned out one of the lovely women working there was also a big fan of the same author and novels! I wound up spending more than I expected, but the food was delicious. What a lovely hidden gem!

This is such a lovely, unassuming, hole in the wall spot. It's literally around the corner from my house and I only just tried it recently. The interior is meticulously designed and cozy. Non alcoholic tea beverages were delightful, but they also carry Taiwanese beer and sake. We ordered the pork belly bao, garlic cucumber salad, garlic noodles, beef shank, hundred layer tofu and minced pork over rice to share along three people. Everything was delicious and we only left a few bites of food behind. I am still thinking about all these little bites. So tasty! A must try for those who don't think we have great food options in the neighborhood and worth the trip for those nearby!

Great food at this hole in the wall gem. I came at 6pm on a Saturday and it was empty, so it was very quiet. The food though did not disappoint. We started off with the bao buns which had good structure to the bun. The pork belly had pickled veg and ginger which really upped the ante. The garlic noodles had a very good texture and true to its name rich flavors of garlic due to the savory coating of sauce it bathed in. The best part of it was the low, building spice of szechuan pepper. The 100 layer tofu was also very tasty- the layers never seemed to end! We got all this and a large bottle of beer for under $40 which is a steal. Definitely would come back!

I've been here a couple times and each time has been delicious! The food portions are on the smaller side, but it is pretty filling. The food here does taste like authentic Taiwanese food. :) If you're feeling adventurous, you can get the LuWei combination. We ordered the 5 item combo, which came with two meats and three veggies, but it's random, picked by the chef. I like ordering this one because it's a surprise every time! This one may come with meat tendons, pork cheeks or ears, and chicken necks or gizzards, so if you're sensitive to those foods, this one might not be for you. Lu Rou Fan (minced pork over rice) is always a delicious choice and tastes even better when you add an egg. The chicken wings were a tad bit dry, but it was still good. I tried the BaiYeDouFu (hundred layered bean curd) for the first time and now it's a new favorite! I also love ordering GuaBao as well. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if you're looking for authentic Taiwanese food! They have some items on their menu that a lot of other Taiwanese restaurants don't have.

As a Taiwanese person, people tends to give me a poke when there are new Taiwanese eateries in town. Which I'm super grateful because I'm always on the hunt for the taste of home. When we entered Taiwan Bistro, we were asked to cleanse our hands with hand sanitizer before sat down. I appreciate clean hands so I was happy to oblige. When we looked at the menu, we were a bit confused at first because there weren't any main dishes. Then I quickly figured out the system and everything was smooth sailing after that. You see, usually we order the main dish then grab appetizers to our liking (at home in Taiwan). It is the same idea here, but Taiwan bistro emphasizes their appetizers so it could be confusing at first. If you are still not quite sure what to order after reading the menu several times, may I suggest: First, order some main dishes between the minced pork over rice, house special noodle and miso noodle soup. Then pick a few side dishes you are interested in. Most of them are soy sauce braised meats/tofu dishes so that they are loaded with tons of umami (savoriness). Finally order some beverages/soups to go with your meal. We ordered the house special noodles and minced pork over rice, braised pork belly buns, marinated cucumbers and sliced pork cheeks. It was a great success because everything was yummy! The house special noodles were udon noodles coated in a savory sauce with a few slices of tender pork on top. The noodles were chewy and we loved the taste and texture. The minced pork over rice was sizzling hot with a savory minced pork toping. It was rich but not greasy nor salty. I was kinda touched because it tasted like home. The cucumber salad was loaded with tons of garlic and we didn't mind. It was refreshing and crunchy, with a hint of a Sichuan peppercorn floral scent. The pork cheeks were tender and flavorful, it was so good with sliced ginger and onion. The pork belly buns were small but mighty. There were four in one order and were so cute! Each bao was loaded with braised pork, crunchy pickles, cilantro and peanut powder. Needless to say, it's full of favor and texture, yum! We wish we could have ordered some Taiwanese beer, but unfortunately we had some travel to do so no beer for us! I imagine this meal would be more enjoyable if we ordered some beer to go with the food. I hope you get to try this place as they provided great service and yummy food options. Just take it slow at first then return for more options later.
