Taiwan Cafe

Really bad service! Avoid! We have a party of 4, there are two customer who were here first. The male server said there is a table telling us to go in, I told him the two customer came here first so he let them in. Fair. The women by the cashier (I think she is the owner) with glasses short curly hair was raining her voice saying put your name down. I said oh the men server already know we were here and have a table for us. She said put your name down (in an even higher tone) so I did. When there is a table open up for four she walked us there and I said there’s these two table available why you don’t let us sit down. She said how do we do business is not up to you to decide. I’m like ok… when we order food I pointed the menu to her and told her I want this few dishes. She said say it out loud in Chinese or English I don’t understand where are you pointing. I said I don’t know how to read these words. She rolled her eyes at me and said you were being grumpy the moment you came in. I said there is table avaible and your attitude is bad. When I’m explaining she walked away. Very RuDE! Once we sat down, SHE LET A PARTY OF 4 SIT IN THE LARGE TABLE ( see attached picture) see how bias she is?? The food, we ordered the shrimp fried rice is tasteless I think the chef forgot to put in salt. The portion is super small. The braised pork rice is ok, very oily though. The environment and atmosphere is below average, there is dried food sticking around the wall and table. Pretty dirty I would say. Will Not be back

Very authentic Taiwanese food, love the oyster pan cake and basil pork intestine, and I’ll definitely come back.

One of my favorite Authentic Taiwanese restaurant in the South Bay. 萬巒豬腳 was a must to order dish😁. 五經腸旺 was a bit salty for me, but acceptable, which was good for going with rice. 炸物拼盤 also reminds me 鹹酥雞小攤in Taiwan 😋😋😋. The restaurant was very nice to help me to keep a birthday cake that I brought in for our event. Thanks a lot to the restaurant and the friendly staff. The staff also brought us dishes and forks for our cake to our table without our asking. So Taiwanese!! Thank you and love your service and kindness!❤️

If you want traditional Taiwan Food, you are there right. We visited it with friends and the food was amazing, mostly I was impressed that someone really opened a restaurant/café especially for Taiwan food in SF. But to be honest the food there is quite expensive. For a meal with 2 adults and 3 kids the food almost cost 200 USD, but overall I would understand it too.

A friend recommended this restaurant for having Hakka cuisine for dinner. We then ordered a few Hakka dishes and a couple of Taiwanese dishes as well. I was pleased with the style of cooking for the pig trotters (deboned) and the meat texture is great too. However, my best recommendation will be the all combination shaved ice dessert treat that definitely brought back memories of eating this type of dessert at my younger days. Service is good and the staff are helpful with our questions as well.

Taiwan Cafe is really delicious, offering many dishes that I wouldn't normally cook at home. While it might not be fully authentic, it definitely satisfies my cravings for Taiwanese food. The restaurant has a wide variety of options, and the portion sizes are generous. It's a place I’d visit occasionally. Highly recommended!

Good pork feet. Very garlicky braise ground pork. Oily tofu skin.
