We ordered the stinky tofu, beef noodle soup, and "ants climbing a tree". All were amazingly tasty. I know it sounds weird, but definitely give the "ants climbing a tree" dish a try if you've never had it before. It's delicious. The stinky tofu is also one of the most authentic ones I've had around Boston.

This was our first time here and it was wonderful! We were taken care of by Jean, the owner of the restaurant and she was so friendly and welcoming! For appetizers, we had the beef wrapped in scallion pancake, hot soy bean drink and pan fried pork buns. They were delicious! Reminded me of when our family went to Taiwan! For entrées, we had the 3 cup calamari, shredded pork with bean curd and bamboo shoot and stirfry green beans. All three were tasted great! The 3 cup calamari had a complex flavor with the Thai basil added to it. For dessert, we had the tofu dessert with red bean and peanuts, which was a nice way to end the meal. We definitely recommend going there to try it out if you like Taiwanese food! We will have to come back on the weekend for their dim sum!

My wife, daughter and I were out and about in Newton and stumbled upon this cute little restaurant around the corner. The owner was very welcoming and the food came out quickly! We ordered their Taiwanese sausage, soup dumplings, Taiwanese cabbage, beef noodle soup, beef chow foon and pork rice cake. Everything was delicious and cooked quickly. This might be one of my new favorite Chinese/Taiwanese place nearby. Will be coming back for take out soon.

Authentic Taiwanese food!! Although nothing fancy, food tastes good and you get to talk to nice Taiwanese people. Would definitely recommend to anyone who misses Taiwanese food or would like to try something different.

Small , simple place makes good food. Not fancy, but tastes good. I’m vegetarian and I had the Fried Tofu with Chinese Eggplant. Excellent, with a rich brown sauce, ginger, and garlic. The interior is simple, well lit, clean. Woman who works the register is a bit abrupt but she’s efficient. Great place for takeout. Simple restaurant food inside.
