I love this place. It’s such a good take on Taiwanese food. I highly recommend the popcorn chicken and lo Ben bang. They’re both so savory and delicious. The popcorn chicken is so tender and crispy and their honey glaze adds a nice touch of sweetness. their 3 cup chicken is also extremely tender and flavorful. Highly recommend getting some rice on the side too to enjoy it with. This time we got the Hakka stir fry which is a great take on twice fried pork (another Chinese classic dish) Their pea shoots are also extremely tender and crisp. Highly recommend it to help balance the heaviness of some of the other dishes!

If you're in need of a taiwanese food fix, this would be a great spot to scratch that itch. The crispy silken tofu was amazing, with that cumin lime and chili oil vinaigrette- awesome appetizer to get started with. The scallion pancake beef wrap came with a very generous portion of that tender and flavorful beef shank, and was well balanced with the onions and pickled vegetables. Both the dry beef noodle and the beef noodle soup had bouncy noodles that really soaked up all the flavor. Only complaint would be that the soup is quite salty, but at least still had all the right spices and flavors. Overall, 886 seems to be a trendy, boisterous place to get some solid taiwanese flavors, and to hang out and grab drinks with friends.

been wanting to make the trip to ny and here for YEARS and we finally did. did not disappoint. we’re gonna be sad whenever we have other popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup bc it won’t be this good. super friendly wait staff and fantastic food, cannot wait to go back. we got: honey glazed popcorn chicken, red yeast ribs, beef noodle soup and dry beef noodles. also the mango spritz mocktail which was so damn good and refreshing, get that in a carafe.

Great tasty food.. Try the "3 cup chicken" and the "spring onion pancake beef wrap" Friendly staff. Clean bathroom. The day we went, it was a bit noisy because of a large b'day party. Overall great place, will go there again.

We came to 886 for dinner on a Friday night. It wasn’t too busy when we came around 7ish and the food did not take too long to come out. We got the honey glazed popcorn chicken which actually came with honey on the side and the shaky fries. Both were solid appetizers. we also ordered the lo ba beng and the dry beef noodle which were also amazing. The noodles were spicy which I enjoyed. The restaurant itself is very fun. It’s got a neon interior and good music playing! Our server Shika was very attentive and kept checking in on us. She also was on top of our allergies and making sure we were taken care of in that regard. Huge shout out to her for making it a memorable night for us!

The negative comments online don't reflect the quality meal I just enjoyed. The team is extraordinary! Their dishes and customer care earn perfect scores. Waiters were professional, our food came promptly, and all items were cooked perfectly. This spot is consistently good and I tell others so!

I came here with a friend from Taiwan AND I was breaking my pescatarian diet after a year! It was the most delicious reintroduction to all the meat I hadn’t had for a long time. We had the Lo Ba Beng, The Notorious TFC, and the Scallion Pancake Beef Wrap. Everything had such full flavor profiles with great contrasting textures. So satisfying. Every bite. My friend being from Taiwan was able to tell me which parts of the dishes were an ode to more traditional things from home and which parts were fused together from other places. SO GOOD! Enjoy!

Ordered an assortment of dishes such as Honey Glazed Popcorn Chicken, Lo Ba Beng, Scallion Pancake Beef Wrap, Dry Beef Noodles, and Peashoots with Tofu Skin. There are also a variety of drinks and a great one to share was the Pink Venom carafe. The Popcorn Chicken is a classic starter pick, crispy, and nice bite sized pieces of chicken. Lo Ba Beng reminds me of home with its braised pork belly and mustard greens. The pork belly is tender and the mustard greens adds a nice crunch; mixed with rice and the yolky eggs, it’s like a proper meal The Scallion Pancake Beef Wrap is also a great go-to option to share, securely wrapped and the beef tastes tender as well and easy to bite into. The Dry Beef Noodles have a good amount of sauce that keeps the dish tasting thick and filling. The Peashoots with Tofu Skin was a good pick to add some more greens to the table, nicely cooked and still a bit crunchy alongside the very soft tofu skins. The Pink Venom is a nice light drink to enjoy the meal with. Staff are not intrusive and quick to respond. The space here is very tight and there is just enough seating but expect to wait during rush periods. This is a great spot for the younger crowd to hang with friends and have a meal together.

Allow me to share my thoughts on the dining experience. The beef noodle soup presented a delightful flavor profile, which was quite enjoyable. However, the texture of the noodles themselves was somewhat disappointing, as it did not quite match the overall quality. On the other hand, the popcorn chicken was absolutely outstanding, exceeding all expectations. Its crispy exterior and tender interior made for a truly memorable bite. It elevated the overall experience, adding a touch of perfection. In summary, the restaurant provided a mix of positive and less favorable aspects. With a few tweaks, the dishes could become extraordinary.
