A cute little taiwanese eatery and we have been a regular to stop over and grab a dinner. Whilst the place is small, the food quality is fantastic, efficient service, reasonably priced. Must try: taiwanese 5 spiced fried chicken and any of their noodles. A rice dish would be their pork stew and rice. Can’t go wrong with their menu set anytime during the day.

The food here was yummyyy!! They are a bit sweeter for some but the meat was tender! You need to order and pay at counter first. You can find parking at Australia Fair.

Giving the food 5 mainly due to price/quality ratio. Not the most cosiest place, but the food was good and the staff was friendly. Other customers were rude...

This Taiwanese restaurant on the Gold Coast used to be one of my go-tos when I lived here. I often ordered their set meals, which started at $16 and have now gone up to $20, which is pretty reasonable with rising costs these days. This time, the popcorn chicken wasn’t as juicy as I remembered, which was a bit disappointing. Still, compared to other places on the Gold Coast that claim to serve Taiwanese food, this one is definitely more reliable and less of a gamble. If you’re a homesick Taiwanese living abroad, this is a solid spot to satisfy your cravings. They’ve got a good range of dishes like Three Cup Chicken, Night Market Teppanyaki Noodles and more. Worth a try.

Amazing! I had the Vietnamese pork belly soup (one of the chef specialities), riching, Super tasty, the meat was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. The eggs were delicious, and the portion size was just right. We also ordered a very generous serving of fried rice. I will definitely visit again, and after this experience, I'm booking a vacation to Vietnam. I celebrated my birthday here, and the staff was very friendly.
