If I want salt & pepper chicken or marinated seaweed, this is my go-to-place. Taiwanese kimchi is a bit too spicy, too salty, and not sweet enough, but that is just my way of comparing it to the kimchi in Taiwan. It might be good for somebody else. In general, I really can get some Taiwanese food here. You can forget about this place if you are looking for atmosphere. Other than that, foods is good. Also, in any season, you can get shaved ice like red bean or green bean. Taro ice is a plus.

Here with mom, yummy Taiwanese shredded dessert... also took 2 pork chop over rice home. We will be back!

Always my go to place. They have peaceful music and staff is helpful. Food is extremely cheap and super high quality. The rice is very flavorful and chicken is nice and crispy. Always recommend this place. CASH ONLY.

All these for 21 dollars. Remember they only accept cash. I highly recommend the Taiwan sausage with rice and pork chop with rice. It is Good value and authentic Chinese food. I recommend the taro ball ice too. Definitely came there all the time I pass by it.

I love this place so much! The food is delicious, let alone the ridiculously low pricing. The porkchop, egg fried rice, and taiwanese sausage are all hits. Taiwanese Kimchi, cucumber, seaweed salad are great sides. The mango ice dessert is one of my favourite desserts ever and is a must get, especially in the summer

Taiwan Pork Chop House/Fried Pork Chop: The fried pork chop was crisp and tender. I didn’t even need any additional sauces for flavor.

Stopped by this in the alley and was excited for the pork chop, which definitely delivered. We ordered quite a few things, the sausage, duck, duck noodle soup, rice cakes, salt & pepper chicken. The pork chop, sp chicken and rice cakes were some of my favorites here. Also unbeatable price! Cash only as well, can sit outside and it’s cooler in the middle of the buildings.

Great spot for Taiwanese cuisine. We had the chicken fried rice, salt and pepper chicken, pork chop over rice and a refreshing shaved ice. All of this fantastic meal was less than $40!! The staff is friendly and attentive and the location looks like a 70s movie set. Parking is tough if you're driving, but it's definitely worth it.

One of our new favourites!!! So so delicious and affordable. The seating and atmosphere of the restaurant reminds us of being in Asia which is so nostalgic. We ordered all their signature dishes and they were all very good. Their bubble tea was surprising great as well so would recommend you guys to try.

You won’t find a better place that does Taiwan comfort food than here. An absolute Taiwan diner shitter. I say this in the best way possible: faded walls, reusable paper menus, no english, cash only, plastic utensils and bowls, huge portions and insanely delicious food. The one place I would take anyone to experience the real Chinatown - no fancy tricks, just real working class food. Porkchop has a great bite, crispy exterior crust while the meat is tender, juicy and packed with chinese five spice flavor. Taiwanese popcorn chicken might honestly be better than the chicken I had in Taiwan. The batter uses sweet potato starch that gives it the most delicate light and crispy shell and a slight chewiness unique to Taiwanese cuisine. The Yan Su Gi rice bowl is such an amazing dish, fluffy rice topped with minced pork sauce (lu rou) and pickled mustard greens (suan chai) compliments the umami-heavy chicken. The dish is so balanced and embodies the essence of Taiwanese home cooking. This place keeps it real.

The food is cheap and good, however the Taiwanese fried chicken isn't very authentic :) but overall still worth a visit! You can't find any food with better price value than this in New York.

True authentic, genuine, down to earth Chinese food experience in nyc. We love eating outside during the summer. We suggest their marinated eggs, pancake, lotus root with rice and their Taiwanese mango/fruit ice which is really delicious.

Cash only. Very delicious food and prices are extremely affordable. Had the salt and pepper chicken and pork chop noodle soup. Small place, but service is fast. I can't recommend this place enough.

Got the salt and pepper chicken and a side of pork chop. Total about $10. Both were really good. Pork chop was meaty and flavorful. Chicken was crispy and tender. I'd give both an 8.5/10. Maybe the pork chop is a bit better as the chicken was not as meaty. Definitely try the chili oil with it; the chili oil adds some flavor and was not that spicy.

My very favorite restaurant in this whole world :) I’ve been here probably a hundred times for the past four years. LOVE their pork chops, taro balls (best in the city, and even better than the ones I’ve had in Taiwan & mainland China), and quite literally everything else on the menu. You can never go wrong with any item here - all incredibly delicious. Commendably affordable too. Friendly staff, fast service, clean restroom, not loud, extensive (but highly legible) menu, plenty of seatings indoor and outdoor. Cash only. They also do UberEats delivery. Closed on Tuesdays. I come here maybe way too much but sincerely it’s the greatest establishment in NYC Chinatown. Throughout college, I came here for all sorts of occasions - to alleviate depression, to destress, to have philosophical chats, to catch up with old friends and meet new friends, to celebrate. It has a wonderfully dear place in my heart and I cannot say enough good things about this eatery. Will probably come back to develop this ramble essay-review

Great food, would recommend the sausage over rice and the salt and pepper chicken over rice. The pickles they use is great! Such nice people too. Cash only, they accept zelle a well though.

The tea egg is always a nice addition to any meal. Their rice dishes are always tasty. Service is quick and prices are competitive.

never had a bad meal here. the best value in manhattan. vibes on the street are top tier

Great value for your money. It's not a great dine-in experience, but it's better if you're outside on a nice day. Service is fine and efficient. I love the Shanghai Rice Cakes, the scallion pancake, and the pork over rice. They serve everything in disposable containers which isn't that sustainable, I would love if they switched to serving dine in on plates.

I cannot stop saying this but I love this place so much. My go-to place and my comfort food. Great prices, great food, great service, and such a homey feel in the restaurant. I always get the pork chop, salt and pepper chicken, and Taiwanese sausage. The noodles are great too! Their desserts, and basically everything there is great! It used to be only cash but I think now they can do cards? I’m not so sure. Just bring cash!

This is real deal Taiwanese food. Very authentic, been there for at least 20 years. Beginners, get the pork chop and rice, dried tofu & seaweed and if you’re serious about expanding yr world the Little fish with chilis. You can continue your adventure with the pork tripe soup which is astoundingly good and oyster omelette. Finish with a shaved ice desert. Can’t go wrong. Definitely a top Chinatown spot.

This is a no frills, no nonsense Taiwanese restaurant in Chinatown with great food at a great price point! My husband and I were doing a bit of a food crawl so we shared the salt and pepper chicken over rice and the Taiwanese mango ice dessert. Both dishes were so homey and comforting. I can tell they put a lot of love and time into the pickled greens that go with the chicken and rice. It had great flavor (notes of star anise) and the chicken had just the right amount of seasoning. The mango ice was very refreshing on a hot day and also very filling! Loved the taro balls and other toppings; and the mango was perfectly ripe. The food here definitely reminded me of what I had in Taiwan. Both dishes together, with tip was $20 which is amazing that you can get it for that price! I would definitely come again and would love to try the pork chop next time.

To be honest, when I entered this restaurant and saw low prices on the menu I didn’t have high expectations. However in the end the food surprised me, especially the pork chops which was crispy and flavorful. Hope I found this place earlier.

Busy little restaurant in Chinatown. The interior is just like what you would find in a Taiwan restaurant. Food is affordable, delicious, and ready in very little time. We got the pork chops, the beef noodle soup, and the dumplings in chili oil. Everything was delicious, but my favourite was the pork chop. My partner like the dumplings the most. Must visit if you are in the area!

They have a small sit-down area. They only take cash. An ATM is next door. The staff is friendly. They do have bottled water and soda for sale that isn't on the menu. Reasonable prices with large portions. Portionxcsn be shared with 2-3 very hungry people. Enjoy!

This place is great. My wife and I came here by way of an online suggestion and we were glad that we did. Walked in 30 minutes before closing. They accommodated us regardless. Everything was delicious and sizable portions. We were the last to leave but weren't pressured to hurry up. For a great evening in Chinatown, come here, get full, then go 2 doors down to the speakeasy for some drinks.

I went to this restaurant with my Taïwanaise friend and she ordered them (I didn’t take a photo of Oyster pancake but that was one of my favorite). We shared and it was really cheap like under $20/each. I definitely go again this summer for the ice.

I hadn't been here in a few years but stopped by and it is still as good as it used to be. We had the wontons in oil, bok choy, cucumber side dish, roast duck on rice and pork chop on rice. Food arrived quickly and was very good and filling. It was a nice day so outdoor seating was available on the closed off road. Note that this place only accepts payment by cash or Zelle.

The food was amazing! This probably is the best shrimp fried rice I have ever had! The service and the atmosphere is normal that you can expect from a Chinese restaurant, but the food was definitely worth it!

This place is awesome! Totally legit with great tasting, Taiwanese comfort food at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend the pork chop with rice - served with some pickled vegetables - all very flavorful. Of course, I’ll add some chili oil, which they have on the tables. So good!

One of my favorite spots in Chinatown. The meals are affordable and delicious! I always get either the pork chop or the salt & pepper popcorn chicken with rice. I decided to get the scallion pancake and OH MY GOD! I did not know it was deep fried! YUM! Combine the chili oil and the scallion sauce and it's a spicy, sweet and tangy dipping sauce! I also love this shop chili oil. It's different and not a lot of pepper seeds.

Taiwan Pork Chop House in Manhattan's Chinatown is an absolute gem. They serve delicious and authentic Taiwanese food at an incredibly affordable price. After taxes and tips, it cost $50...for three people! Appetizers, main, and dessert! Can't wait to go back.

Delicious food and fast service. My wife and I love their fried pork, popcorn chicken, and oyster pancakes. No frills dining. I recommend this place to anyone visiting the Manhattan Chinatown.

The food is delicious and cheap. This business is cash only so come with some cash on hand.

This is an authentic no frills taiwanese restaurant in chinatown for many years that serves delicious and affordable food. Most of their entrees are $8 to $9 dollar which consist of rice bowls or noodles. The chicken leg with rice or pork chop with rice comes with pickled mustard greens and minced meat. Super delicious. Give their popcorn chicken a try as the flavor is great as well. During lunch time, there is usually a line for take out but the eat in line goes quick.

Definitely understand why ppl say this is one of the top places that you should visit for Taiwanese food… yes, it’s the place. Not 100% the same (of course, I’m from Taiwan and I went North and South of our island for various food..) but it is the taste. I lived in the middle of Taiwan and for me, their taste is more like a southern style, slightly sweeter. 🍽I love the pork chop rice that I had. It was the classic meal box in our culture. And they put veg in it which was a balanced meal. The chicken rice was good too. ✨Another immersive one was the dessert! Which is shaved ice with taro balls and sweet beans. It was a super super traditional thing that we have during the summer. The only one that I will not that recommend is the oyster pancake thing. It was not the same with what we have. Still, you won’t go wrong with meal box.. and it’s cheaaaaaap!

When visiting the Chinatown you have plenty of options where to get a food. But only a few offer a place to sit outside on the street. We were very satisfied with meals and the prices were surprisingly really low. You can get a huge portion around $8. Definitely recommendable to everyone

I visited this restaurant a couple of times on a trip to New York. Food tastes good and is quick. Very generous portions and very competitive pricing. Staff were friendly. If you are looking for a dining experience, this might not be suitable for you. For me, it was perfect as I appreciated the vibe and cultural exchange/experience. If I had to be critical, I think the msg content in the meals were noticeable.

Josh Schneider

Taiwan Pork Chop was delicious! The outdoor street vibes and time with friends made it such a fun and cozy meal spot.

Andrea Ran

The oyster pancake is simply divine. It’s hot, steamy, and freshly cooked, making it incredibly delicious. The seafood is so flavorful that it’s almost overwhelming, while the soft, fluffy pancake wraps around your tongue and provides a delightful contrast. The fried rice is also fresh but plain in terms of the flavor, adding some ginger and soy sauce will make it perfect.

j j

The pork chop and cucumbers were really good but the duck was a bit bland for me, perhaps just ask for some sauce on the side if you want more flavor. Everything is served in takeout containers, cups and utensils. I’m guessing for hygiene reasons after Covid. You can either dine in or out. I need to try their desserts next time!

Taiwan Pork Chop House is one of my favourite Taiwanese restaurants in NYC. I've been here more times than I can remember, and I have never been disappointed by anything I've ordered here. They also have the only authentic Taiwanese-style shaved ice I've had in NYC (and I often come here after a meal nearby to have that for a delicious and inexpensive dessert. Their rice dishes are fantastic - I particularly love the (eponymous) pork chop rice 酸菜豬排飯 and the salt and pepper chicken rice 鹽酥雞飯. I've also had the wontons with spicy oil (紅油炒手 edit: they call it 紅油溫州餛飩) which are always delicious, too - fillings are super juicy and flavourful. The shaved ice, however, is my must-order whenever I’m here. It’s one of the few places with so many quintessentially Taiwanese ingredients — the condensed milk, chunky ice pieces, aiyu and grass jelly — brings me so much nostalgia every time (and it’s so cheap too!) Service is brusque (typical Chinatown "authenticity") and the restaurant is... shall we say .. not the cleanest? But I love the shaved ice so much, so it's always worth it. They are cash only, but fortunately they are also very cheap, so you don't have to carry that much cash hahah

The prices were very affordable. Although the flavors weren’t as amazing as I expected, they were still pretty good. The taro ball was nice, but it felt a bit dry due to the lack of milk. The oyster omelette was a bit fishy but still decent, and the Taiwanese sausage was really flavorful.

A foodie’s dream near Metrograph! 📍 Taiwan Pork Chop House 3 Doyers St, New York, NY 10013 Most items on the menu are under $10 — definitely my go-to no-brainer spot after a movie. You have to try their new menu item 肉圆 (rouyuan). The soft, thick, and chewy wrapper is packed with juicy pork, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots—perfectly seasoned and hitting all the right flavor notes. Craving street food vibes? The Taiwanese sausage, salt & pepper chicken, fried pork cutlets, and oyster omelette will transport you straight to a bustling Taiwanese night market! All the deep-fried goodness comes freshly fried and piping hot—don’t rush or you might burn your tongue! Special shoutout to the oyster omelette, generously loaded with veggies and dotted with plump, juicy oysters—pure comfort on a plate. Need some carbs? Go for the dumplings in red chili oil. They’re not fiercely spicy, but the vibrant red oil adds just the right kick and color. Plus, those wrinkly wrappers are silky smooth, tightly hugging the savory meat filling for the perfect bite. Finally, treat yourself to taro balls—the best in the city! Bouncy, chewy, and perfectly paired with sweet mango chunks, shaved ice, and raisins. It’s the ultimate refreshing way to end your meal! 🥰✨

Great menu selection with authentic and affordable options. My friend and I came here for an early dinner on Saturday evening and we were seated right away. Big plus for me were the patient and efficient staff. My friend arrived about 15 minutes after I was seated and they never made a fuss, which I appreciated. Tasty bites that are both super flavorful and affordable! I ordered the salt & pepper chicken and we got wontons for the table. As noted by other reviewers, not the most sustainable practice to serve everything in to-go containers but I took my leftovers home — so for me, it worked out. All in all, this hole in the wall spot located in the heart of NY Chinatown is a true hidden gem and I 100% recommend it!

Like the name suggests, tasty pork chop, cheap prices and a quick no frills store.

Super tasty! After living in NYC for 11 years, finally went here. The noodles, rice cakes, and pork chop over rice were delicious. The chili paste was worth it on everything. The best part? $35 for two of us!

7/30/22: Had the following: "Taiwanese Marinated Duck" (4.25*/5, quite good, eat with chili sauce), "Pork Chop over Rice" (4.25*/5, very good, need to head to head vs May Wah Fast Food) , "Salt & Pepper Chicken (3.75*/5, a bit too breading heavy and came out lukewarm, not hot), "Wonton with spicy oil" (4.5*/5, very good though a bit small in portion and came out lukewarm), "Cucumber and Jelly Fish w Garlic Sauce" (3.5*/5, at waitress suggestion, got it without the jelly fish; had good reviews but was basically just smashed cold cucumber with a tiny hint of garlic; could have used more flavor), Herbal jelly with taro dessert (3.5*/5, I guess I just don't like this dessert as a concept, the execution was probably fine but I wouldn't order again.)

Good bare bones, working class noodle restaurant. Cash only only. No frills, using disposable utensils and plastic ware. Under $10 is a bargain in the current inflationary prices.

I used to visit here regularly before the pandemic, and the food was always excellent--I've probably tried almost everything on the menu. While they're known for their pork chop, I'm a big fan of the chicken leg over rice. Their soup is rich in flavor and comforting, though on the oilier side. If I had to recommend just one dish, it would be the Taiwanese marinated duck--it's incredibly flavorful and delicious. The prices remain affordable, but unfortunately, the quality and portion sizes have definitely declined over time. :(

Good prices and the popcorn chicken was pretty good! The food was a tad salty but overall not bad.

Love the Pork Chop Over Rice and Mango Ice. Have order multiple times in and to go. Service is fast. Appreciate that they take Zelle. Price has increased since pandemic but still great. About $16.25 for both dishes.

Their pork chop is the best and it's always my go-to. I'm not a big fan of popcorn chicken in general, but they made is alright. I like their oyster pancake too. Their shaved ice desert is ok, I don't find it that special.

Taiwan Pork Chop house: on Doyers Street. The goodie: - Some very authentic Taiwan dishes {I m from Taiwan} - No stinky Tofu - They have a decent rendition of red roast beef noodle soup, obviously not the same as Taiwan, but its not bad. - Oyster Omlette, I would have to say, this is one is the least authentic, not crazy about it, a bit too much corn starch, so a bit rubbery. - they also have salt and pepper popcorn chicken, tofu bean curd baked style with oyster sauce and sea weed taiwan style. The ok: Post covid, they no longer use real plating, everything is throw away including the spoons, although i don't care about the environment, eating out of a plastic utensils kind of ruins the experience especially with hot beef broth. Overall: i decent Taiwanese street food option, outside of Flushing / Taiwan.

I got the salt and pepper chicken after seeing many reviews rave about it and it did not disappoint! It was crunchy and jus the right amount of salty. The pieces were quite large and the meat was very tender. I chose to get it with pickled vegetables and over rice. It is such a large serving that I ended up only eating half before taking the rest to go. There are chopsticks, plastic utensils and napkins on each table. Since your food gets brought out in takeout boxes, they don't mind if you just dine in at any of the free tables. They also give you a free cup of hot tea which is warming on a cold winter day. Cash only though!

quite busy Friday evening. the Taiwanese Fried Chicken Over Rice is very good. crispy and tasty portion is good. but the Taro Ball and Herbal Jelly looks very weird...and taste very weird just like rotten service is okay; environment is clean

Authentic Chinese restaurant, come because of Li’an. The overall dining experience is quite typical, with the food being generally average. However, it offers good value for money, although some dishes are a bit too salty.

I went here for lunch, and I love the Fried Pork Chop over Rice, it has a great taste but only its a little bit salty. Service is just fine with a quite big space to eat. Recommended for you who is starving for rice and need salty food.

I got three dishes (enough for two meals). I enjoyed the food overall, though the pork chops were pretty dry and the other dishes oily. Their best dishes would probably be the scallion pancakes and savory pan fried oyster cakes.

This is a no frills place with good prices. Ordered the pork chop over rice and it comes with pickled collar greens and some sort of meat sauce. Added a tea egg for a total of $9!! Can't beat that price. I really enjoyed the pickled collar greens and the rice while the pork chop was average. However, I would definitely get it again.

This is a great place to eat. The prices cannot be beaten. The pork chops were only three dollars at the time I went here. Despite being Chinese New Year, we were sat down and served relatively quickly. It was crowded and the place was quite small. It's not the prettiest place to eat. The food was amazing, especially for the price. The pork chops were some of the best I've ever had and it was enough to get me full.

Notes: Cash Only! Great cheap eats I think in total we all spent about less than $20 each. We were a group of 5 and we ordered, marinated eggs, salt and pepper popcorn chicken, dumplings, pork-chop over rice, stir fried rice cakes, pan fried oyster omelette and taro balls for dessert. The food was quickly cooked and delicious. Definitely a great go-to spot for lunch or dinner that I'll be coming back to again. They did forget our bubble teas, but by the end of the meal we were full and forgo them. Had to remind them to take it off the receipt but they were amiable about it. Everything was conveniently served in to go boxes incase we couldn't finish. Love that they had both outdoor and indoor seating. I don't think many places have outdoor seating in chinatown. The seating reminded me of street stalls with the iconic plastic red chairs and tables.

Taiwan Pork Chop House is an absolute gem. In a city where dinner can easily spiral, this might be one of the best value meals you can find in NYC and you will leave completely full. The pork chop is the namesake for a reason. It is flavorful, satisfying, and hits that perfect comfort food note. But the real standout for us was the salt and pepper chicken. Crispy, well seasoned, and incredibly addictive. The kind of dish where you keep reaching back in for just one more piece. This is the spot you go to when you want to stretch your dollar without sacrificing flavor. Generous portions, no frills, just honest food that delivers every time. Also, treat the people here kindly. The staff is warm and hardworking, and that energy makes the experience even better. Places like this are what make New York special. I love it and cannot wait to come back. 🍗💸

For less than 9 dollars for the pork chop with rice, you get a very big portion. The big pork chop was a bit too salty for my liking but still good, and there was a small pork chop that was perfectly flavored. The rice, sour pickled vegetable, and the minced pork tasted amazing. Simple, fast, delicious and cheap eat!

Actpb

Asians, Chinese and Taiwanese in particular, will find great value in the authentic fare here. Superbly priced, the namesake dish is well seasoned and generous in portion. Just like you'd find at the Rahoe night market in Taipei, the pork chops is fried to perfection. Don't skimp on the appetizers too as the jelly fish and scallion pancake are memorable. Make no mistake, this is Asian comfort food at its best. As can be expected, the place is a bit of a hole in the wall but you aren't here to take in the decor. For minimal dollars, you're going to get filled up. Wait staff is abysmally friendly for Chinatown, and the food will hit your table before you've completed ordering. Enjoy!

Tony Hsu

As a Taiwanese, it doesn’t taste like Taiwanese cuisine. Have way to high expectations on this, still taste pretty decent though.

Jenny J. Chen

The food was okay. The pan fried oyster cake was different and would have been better with the traditional oyster pancake sauce. The sauce that came with it was too much like duck sauce or the spring roll sauce and too sweet. I also order the taro ball herbal jelly which was also different. There was some but not too much grass jelly taste. Maybe herbal jelly tastes different. The price is very reasonable.

Jiao Zhang

A good street food in a cozy alley. I wouldn’t say the quality is great but it tastes good as street food itself. I recommend salt and pepper chicken, which is very tender and flavorful. The taro ball dessert with ice is also good. The onion pancake is way too oil. The price is very reasonable. It is a place where you can just stop by and get some snacks and bathing in Chinatown vibe.

Chu Lin

This place is as iconic as it gets in Chinatown. Growing up in Taiwan, TPCH is definitely authentic. Their sour vegetable is delicious, I could eat that on its own. Their pork chops over rice is done nicely, sits on top of rice covered by minced meat, side of half egg and sour vegetables. The price is great. My favorite thing here is to eat on the street. Sitting on the plastic stools, eating and watching people walk by. It's a cool vibe

Bill

A no-frills spot offering great-value Taiwanese food. The pork chop and salt & pepper chicken were both well-fried and shared a flavorful spice blend. The beef noodles, however, were a bit disappointing - the broth lacked depth and beef flavor, and the noodles were missing the desired chew. That said, the beef pieces within the dish were well-seasoned and tasty. Overall, it’s a bustling spot for affordable and quick Taiwanese eats (but don’t come expecting top-tier quality).

Xin Hao

Pretty authentic and brings back good memories of Taiwans home delicacies and street food. Downside is that they accept cash and only cash. Pork chop was tender, not too fatty, and served in generous portions. I wished it was slightly less fatty though and grilled even more to perfection. Felt that it was slightly salty too. Otherwise, the side vegetables were alright. Scallion Pancakes were quite disappointing though - felt that I was simply eating an over-fried crispy skin without any filling. It was really oily too for my liking. The herbal soup saved the day as it was well brewed and feels like home, although i could tell it was premade and simply heated to be served.

I ordered the fried pork chop over rice and one with noodles. The size of the pork chop was ginormous for the price point, but because it happened to be a hot summer day, one of the porkchop we had for takeout wasn't as fresh as the other order.

Taiwan Pork Chop House is very popular with many guests and the seating was quite crowded. The service was good as well, but we found the food mediocre, especially the main course. It may not be suitable for vegetarians, but it is suitable for meat lovers.

Wasn't crowded, and service was pretty fast. Prices were fair. The pork chop was fine, the Taiwanese sausage was a bit oily. I didn't really like the meat in the meat noodle thing that they had, but the noodles and broth were pretty good.

Authentic Taiwan restaurant, you can find all your favorite TW dishes here. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, but very cramped inside . Their menu very long like most Asian restaurants, serving all kinds of dishes. We ordered a handful of items. I found the duck to be the best item, rest of the items like Salk & pepper pop corn chicken, curry rice, oyster omlette, fried rice all were pretty average. My TW family said their Taiwanese sausage is excellent. I also liked the noodles with minced pork, the green veget in it is very tasty. The service is decent, food comes out quickly.

Great location in Chinatown. Food comes all prepared for take out so if you're not able to finish your all set to go. Service is pretty fast with meals coming out nice and hot. I had the beef with rice which was pretty good.

Friendly staff, cheap food, but nothing special. Under $10 per item. We ordered 4 items total of $24 ($30 w/ tip) Salt & pepper chicken was nice and crunchy, but could use more seasoning. Beef on rice was tough and sauce tasted like cornstarch, pickled vege w/ the rice was nice. Facility could be improved. Cash only

A hole in the wall with some Taiwanese delicacies, the salt pepper chicken is reasonable although it needs a little more pepper, the shaved ice has too chunky of ice, and a scallion pancake barely had any scallions in it. Service was brisk and short, pretty much what you'd expect from a place like this.

I ordered the pork chop over rice and was expecting a slice of pork bone in but receive small chunks of porky which was very salty. The wonton was more dough than filling and the taro jelly was so so with not much flavor or shave ice. Service though was fast and cash only.

I guess the food is fine as long as you are not Taiwanese. Decent but though it’s “Taiwan-themed” (from store name, everything but one notice in traditional Chinese, and couple Taiwanese maps); it’s not very authentic from my 25 years experience dining in Taiwan. 1. 蚵仔煎looks more like Korean pancake plus 泰式甜酸醬 我在台灣從來沒吃過長的像這樣的蚵仔煎 😂 2. rice dish comes with 酸菜which I think it’s not that “Taiwan- style”. 3. 然後還有「台式滷鴨」how come I don’t recall having lots of duck dishes when I was in Taiwan? Sausage rice is okay, at least they grill the sausage before cutting them. Chop pork is okay, decent. Chicken soup is a bit salty in my opinion (but comes with lots of chicken). All in all, like I said, decent Chinese food; but since I review it from a “Taiwanese” standard (since this appears to be the most reviewed Taiwan restaurant on Google review as well as 小紅書); I’m pretty disappointed.

Huge varieties of options on their menu, food tastes like authentic home food. We ordered the pork chop over rice, salt and pepper chicken, and spring roll pancake. The are slightly salty to my taste. Portions are generous, and very affordable prices.

Taiwan Pork Chop House, tucked away on Doyers Street in Chinatown, offers a straightforward dining experience that caters to those seeking authentic Taiwanese street food. Food: The menu features classic Taiwanese dishes such as pork chop over rice, fried rice cakes, and wontons in chili oil. While the pork chop is tender and flavorful, some dishes may lack the depth of flavor found in other establishments. The fried rice cakes and wontons are popular choices among patrons.  Atmosphere: The setting is modest, with a no-frills approach that emphasizes function over ambiance. It’s a casual spot suitable for a quick meal rather than a leisurely dining experience.  Service: Service is efficient, with staff ensuring that orders are processed swiftly. However, the fast-paced environment may not lend itself to personalized service.  Overall: For those in the area craving Taiwanese comfort food at reasonable prices, Taiwan Pork Chop House is a solid choice. While it may not offer the most refined dining experience, it delivers on authenticity and value.

Spicy wontons were tasty. The dessert dish was hard to chew and ice was barely there. Taro balls felt like it was not fresh

Isabelle J

The beef noodle soup was great. However I got the tofu and seaweed appetizer because I saw a photo of it on the window, but what came out looked nothing like it :( it wasn’t very good - it was kind of like boiled seaweed, topped with boiled tofu, and the sauce is drizzled on top and not mixed in. This was disappointing. Also they only serve food in plastic bowls so will not be eating here due to this.

This place is okay. I am grateful that there was room for me to sit, since all of Chinatown was busy today. I ordered the Taiwan duck, the taro cakes and the taro ball and grass jelly dessert. The duck was okay. It wasn't crispy at all. Just fatty and meaty. At least it wasn't boney. Some of the undersides were cold, so I think they just popped it in the microwave or something. So that's disappointing. But I ate it anyway because I figure at least it was precooked. The taro cake was just okay. I've had better in Homecrest. The taro and grass jelly dessert was the best. I think my lesson is to just order whatever they advertise on the windows if I want it well made. They advertise their noodle dishes and desserts more than these other things.

Stopped in and got the popcorn chicken. The seating is pretty packed in but that is to be expected for restaurants in this area. I didn't mind the seating, but the food wasn't good either. The popcorn chicken was seasoned well - almost like a curry seasoning or something - but the meat itself was completely off. It was gooey and I literally had to check if the few pieces I ate were cooked all the way because the consistency was very much so like raw chicken. I threw the rest away after eating like two or three pieces but I wouldn't return. The texture was just too off for me.

Surprisingly, this place is so bad. I felt like all the food we ordered has been drown in salt for years. Everything is super salty and disgusting. We ordered seaweed and dried tofu, pork chop rice, salt and pepper chicken, oyster pancakes and wonton soup. Oyster pancake is the only thing that’s remotely edible, the rest are all bad…

I'm so sick of all the foodie influencers' bs--the pork chops are so salty and obviously have been over treated with soda powder to appear as tender; My first time ever(and last) having wontons made with pork slices! The over tourism for sure helps the businesses in Chintown, while also kills the authenticity of most restaurants. If this one's truly opened and operated by Taiwanese, shame on them.

I would give it a zero if I could. I've been here 3 times total. Every time I try to give it another chance and get something new and hope it would be better, but turns out everything's is just bad. The popcorn chicken tasted nothing like 鹽酥雞. The pork chop rice pork was so gamy. The shaved ice was ok at best, definitely not what taiwanese ppl eat in Taiwan and there's corn in it??? Food is not authentic. Not Taiwanese. Not good.
