Delicious Taiwanese food in Bayside! We haven’t been here for several years, but found out they were open again so we got take out. They make all of the classic dishes and provide a lot of ingredients. We got the Beef Noodle Soup, Braised Pork over rice and the 3 Cup Chicken to share with 3 people. They included rice and radish soup complimentary with our meal. Couldn’t even finish it all, so full! They have a few tables to dine in as well. Want to go back to eat the food fresh at the restaurant again. The prices went up a bit from before. Definitely recommended!

MamaLee is back in Bayside! So glad to have her back! We were regulars before the move and missed her authentic Taiwanese cooking and warm hospitality. * Portions: Huge and very satisfying. * Eco-Friendly: Uses paper containers instead of plastic. * Pro Tip: It gets busy, so order ahead to skip the wait! Highly recommend for great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

I had a very disappointing experience at this Taiwanese bento shop. The food was mostly salty but lacked real flavor. The fried items were overcooked and tasted burnt. The combo meal was very expensive, yet it only came with about half a bowl of rice, which felt unreasonable for the price. The stir-fried dishes were also disappointing — there was no “wok hei” at all. Everything tasted heavily thickened with sauce instead of properly stir-fried. It did not feel fresh or authentic. On top of that, there appeared to be only one person cooking and one person handling the register, so the wait time was extremely long. I would strongly recommend avoiding this place. It is overpriced, slow, and the quality does not justify the cost.

I see why they have been open for so long. They actually care about the customers and provide great service. An amazing establishment for the community. Food was delicious we got more than we asked for. We were taken care of. Hope to come back soon and tell the 🌎 of this place family style! bring your friends!
