I’ve been looking for more Taiwanese restaurants in Flushing and found this place. They seem to have a bunch of Taiwanese classics like the stinky tofu and beef noodle soup.

I just ordered the chicken leg over rice with sausage. It came with (surprise surprise) a Taiwanese style sausage, pickled/sour vegetables, regular vegetables, literally about five string beans, gravy over the rice and a marinated boiled egg. It was all right and cost $7.50.

The big question is whether this place is better than my favorite place for Taiwanese style lunch bentos, 66 Lu’s Seafood Restaurant. The answer to that is no. Lu’s is still the best in my opinion. Lu’s chicken leg over rice has better fried chicken as well as a much better meat sauce over the rice. While the sausage was pretty good, the five string beans didn’t really add much.

Score: 6/10
