Taiwan Station

Been there twice. The first time I came, order 肉羹湯, it was like I was in Taiwan! It was excellent! Had bonito shaving flavor which what other places missing in NYC. 2nd time I went to test for consistency quality...what a failure. It was less to no bonito shaving flavor. The other rice bento was good.

Great food. Good seasoning with big enough portions for a guy. Rare case where I eat every dish in a bento. However this place is slow. Takes a while to bring out your food. Also the staff kids were being a disturbance. I get that asian places will keep their kids around the store and I get it’s sometimes necessary. However I’ve seen staff lids in asian places sit still and be quiet while here the kids ate constantly walking around and making high pitched young kid whining not yet full language kind of noise and it’s annoying.

Delicious food if not a bit on the expensive side. Their bentos are good with a nice variety, but I keep coming back for their pork braised rice/noodle because it's so good. Give it a shot if you're looking for a cheap and filling meal. If they gave some vegetables it'd be a complete meal for me. Pardon the half ate food, I just wanted to dig in.

I recently tried Taiwan Station for lunch, and I must say it was an overall good experience. The fried chicken leg bento was delicious, served with a side of vegetables (cabbage and broccoli). The rice was topped with braised pork, two slices of pickled daikon, and, of course, the chicken leg, which was cooked thoroughly and crispy on the outside. The bento also came with a clear soup/broth, a nice complement to the meal. The service was quick and friendly. I think it is a good spot for anyone looking for a quick meal in the neighborhood.

Cute little Taiwanese lunch spot with authentic flavors. The chicken leg and popcorn chicken bentos were delicious and the lunch special was a good value! Will be back to try the beef noodle soup.
