Tiger Bites

Would not go back. Ordered pick up for 45 mins after ordering on ChowNow (suggested ordering site on their website), I think they made the food immediately because it was all cold. The tiger fries are not worth $9 with thick flavorless beef on top, not like the beautiful pic at all. The popcorn chicken was ice cold and had 1 piece of basil, the pork belly rice and green beans have no flavor including salt. The only good thing was our food was ready to be picked up, and the milk tea. But the milk tea was in the same bag as our hot food so it probably cooled off our food and did warm up the milk tea.

My first visit was very pleasant. The staff seemed really nice and walked my wife and me through their menu. The Tiger Fries were great! I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a savory snack. The milk teas were made well but the only reason I can't give my experience 5 stars is for the boba. Instead of being soft or chewy, the boba was stiff and was either old or not cooked properly. I will definitely return to test the consistency of their service.

I think this is Taiwanese cafe style eatery. You ordered and paid for the food at the counter, then they deliver the food to your table when they are ready. No seating outside, but quite a bit of seating indoor. There are variety of dishes including beef noodle which comes with or without soup, fried chicken steak, fried tofu or string bean, etc. They also make bubble tea and other desserts like egg tart. The beef noodle portion is huge with lots of noodle and soft beef with tendon. The noodle is yummy and fresh.

Each bao offers a distinct flavor, all quite good. The garlic string bean fries were excellently crispy and garlic-y, the tiger fries were pretty tasty and filling. And the deep fried vanilla bao for dessert was better than any tempura ice cream I'd gotten at a Japanese restaurant. Didn't try the tea but as far as food goes it was pretty solid.

Went there for lunch and tried the Korean Kalbi beef lunch combo. Unfortunately it is mostly greasy, disgusting fat (see photo), barely any lean meat in it. Complained to the waitress and was told "we will do it better next time". Come on, if you don't want to fix the problem this time, there would not be another customer for "next time". ------------------------------------------------------------------ Updated review to reflect my recent experience. This is a newly-opened hole-in-a-wall place for a quick bite of traditional Taiwanese food. However the quality of food is either hit or miss, depending on when you come and what you order. For exampe, rice bowl with pork belly (控肉便当) is soft and delivious sometimes, but under-cooked some other time. Rice bowl with red wine beef (红酒牛肉便当) has a sour taste most folks would not tolerate. Service is fast when there are not too many people waiting. Price is a bit expensive, compared to other Taiwanese restaurants in the area. Try to beat the crowd by coming earlier to skip the waiting line.

Pleasant surprise to find this place. All the foods really are Taiwanese street foods. Their specialty looks to be their buns. The white buns traditionally have braised pork belly, but they feature tons of other meats like fried fish, chicken, and others. Other bits of awesome include braised pork rice, fried green beans, nori fries, fried tofu(not smelly), sweet potato fries, and numerous rice plates. Have to go back multiple times to try everything!
