Tihu Taiwanese Cuisine 醍醐台菜

Tihu Taiwanese Restaurant — Bayside, Queens On a bustling Saturday night in Bayside, Tihu feels less like a quiet neighborhood spot and more like a lively Taipei side street café. Every table is filled, the air hums with conversation, and the steady stream of takeout orders tells you this place has earned its following. With only three staff members managing the floor, the pace is understandably slower than typical. Orders take time, dishes arrive in waves, and patience becomes part of the dining experience. But once the food hits the table, any frustration fades quickly. The flavors are deeply comforting and authentically Taiwanese — rich broths, balanced seasoning, and the kind of home-style cooking that prioritizes taste over presentation. Each dish delivers warmth and depth, the kind

We ordered the fried chicken cutlet rice, pork chop rice, and stinky tofu. The stinky tofu was fine — not bad, but not very strong. The pickled cabbage really had almost no flavor, which took away from the dish. The fried chicken cutlet portion was big, but the seasoning was very light, so it didn’t have that satisfying punch of flavor you expect from Taiwanese chicken cutlet. The pork chop rice was the biggest letdown. The pork chop was huge but was a bit tough and mild in flavor, and the braised minced pork on the rice was quite dry and lacking seasoning, which made the rice feel disappointing overall. Not the worst, but definitely hoped for stronger and more authentic flavors.

Taiwanese restaurant along Northern Blvd by Marathon Parkway. They used to have hotpot but at the time of my visit 1/5/26 that didn't seem to be the case. Looks like they removed the hotpot entirely and just focused on Taiwanese Dishes. They have pork chop over rice (pai gu fan) and Stinky tofu. Overall, food is okay, service and staff were phenomenal though. Might come back next time to try their other dishes.

A recently opened Taiwanese in Little Neck, situated between Queens and Long Island. There’s an unconfirmed rumor that a chef from the former 66 restaurant on Prince Street as part of the team. We visited on the weekday evening, and while the restaurant was nearly full, there was no wait. The space is clean, and the staff is friendly. While another review mentioned slow servers, we found it to be fine-just a bit overwhelmed. Overall, the food was just average. Some dishes captured the authentic Taiwanese flavors, but my standards for Taiwan is cruising are quite high. The only dish I can truly recommend is the hakka stirfry mini squid. That said, I can’t judge too harshly since we didn’t try the pork chop or a salt and pepper chicken over rice-either of which could have changed experience

Hidden gem⭐️ very yummy food and the portions are huge. We got everything in the picture for $40 including tax❗️The popcorn chicken over rice and the pork chop noodles were both amazing.
