Reviews Taiwan Cafe

The best all-around restaurant in Chinatown, IMHO. Always fresh hot and delicious, with spicy dishes that have some kick and all dishes with tremendous taste. Vegetarians will find great choices here (eggplant, watercress with garlic and snowpea pod greens to name a couple ). For the meatatarians, try the salt and pepper pork chops. The longhorn peppers with either chicken or beef have a kick and can be ordered extra spicy. For soup, try the spinach & beef stew. Also great dumplings and ravioli. Y ou really can't go wrong here!

Food is very flavorful and delicious. Love their soup dumplings. Their soup dumpling are one of the ones with the most soup! Sadly, I didn't get any pics of it. It was too good to wait for my camera to take pics first.

My mother is from Taiwan, and this is her favorite restaurant in Boston's Chinatown. The food is fresh and delicious, and according to my mother, tastes more authentic than the food she remembers from Taiwan. Our favorites are the oyster omelet and the "Soup with Pork Intestine and Blood Pudding" (as it's named on the menu in English), although we have yet to try everything on the menu, but these are the harder-to-find nostalgic dishes that my mother looks forward to having the most from their menu. The space is small and can be very busy at meal times, but we went at 2pm for a late lunch and it wasn't too crowded.

This place is open until 1 am so it’s great for late night eats, especially with its proximity to the AMC you can head here right after a late movie! The menu is pretty overwhelming to look at with the vast options available but we managed to pick out a hot pot dish, beef rolls and soup dumplings. Everything had a nice flavor to it, my only issue was that there was a lot of dough in both the beef roll and the soup dumplings. The skins for both were really thick making it slightly difficult to get an even amount of flavor and bite for the rest of the meet that came with it. Overall, was pretty good though.

We love this place so much so we came back the next weekend. Very delicious and authentic Chinese food in this area. It has changed ownership recently but only for the better. We ordered the spicy stir fried cauliflower and black bean clams. They were yummy. If I am in boston China town again I must definitely return and try different dishes. Staff are friendly and nice which made our dinning experience even more awesome. Thank you!!!

Placed an order via Uber eats and thought the food was good. A little pricey (guessing they raise their rates due to Uber fees). I ordered the orange chicken and the hot and sour soup. The soup was delicious and the portion size did not disappoint. The orange chicken was also pretty good but I think they might have over cooked it in the Wok because it was a bit burnt. I’d go again in person next time to give a more accurate review but it definitely wasn’t a bad choice for online ordering either

Food was good. But not quite as we expected. The menu is vast and a bit hard to understand... be careful ordering by number, as numbers are repeated several times. On our order, they gave us one wrong dish, even after giving the number and pointing on the menu. The beef on spicy broth was tough. The dry fried cauliflower was good, but better if it comes with a burner under it.

My husband and I went here twice in one week. We love eating at small authentic restaurants, especially from smaller countries like Taiwan, and my husband was really excited after seeing what they had to offer. They have a large menu with items you usually cannot find! We had soup dumplings with pork, fried dumplings, steamed buns pork, and szechuan fish. My husband has a beef noodle dish, and they let you choose the type of noddles you want. Service is great. They immediately sit you if possible and give you a pot of hot tea. They also bring out the sauces that go with your meal before your food comes out. They are quick to get drinks as well. I am impressed with how they handled the influx of weekend customers, being full in a small space, and getting to go orders out quickly. They never rushed anyone and gave you plenty of time to look at the menu, and they are very patient with answering questions about the menu or specific food items. Everything we ate was fantastic. The soup dumplings melt in your mouth and have a lovely savory broth inside. Fried dumplings were very juicy and flavorful. Steamed buns had a really nice flavor for the meat and bun. I usually don't get impressed by buns, but that one was very flavorful and dense. Szechuan fish is large enough to share with another person. They balanced heat with delicate flavors, and the fish is cooked just right. The fish is cooked by boiling in the broth. This is a wonderful small restaurant with affordable prices and high quality food! This is a small local place, so I encourage people who may be use to mainstream restaurants to judge the place by it's food. My husband said it reminded him of his childhood eating with friends. We will always make time to stop in here when we are in Boston.
