Taiwanese fried chicken cutlet
"The fried chicken cutlet with chili seasoning owns my soul. It tastes just like the famous street food you line up for in Taipei, and it’s one of the few foods I find myself craving in this city."
Popcorn chicken
"Popcorn chicken is crispy and had a lot of flavor, wish there is basil will be even better. Over all, food is great and reminds me home."
Sweet potato fries
"We also ordered their sweet potato fries in their seaweed salt and pepper flavor. We got a good sized serving tucked in a paper sleeve. It was definitely made fresh because it was so hot to the touch!"
