台山风味Taishan - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was great! I enjoyed the authentic food and appreciated that they are open late. However, the pictures of the menu online are outdated and miss many delicious items. I've included updated menu pictures to help others discover more of their offerings.

I was struck with the feeling of hunger late at night, and this place was my savior! I just wanted a snack, so I ordered the fried pork puff. For $6, I received 3 scrumptious puffs that were made fresh, taking about 5 minutes. They were sooo yummy – a perfect amount of crispiness and chewiness, lightly sweet, with sufficiently salty pork inside. Although I'm not familiar with Chinese food, I can confidently say this will now be my go-to place for a late-night snack!

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, primarily due to the delicious dumplings. I was on a business trip and completely forgot to take my receipt. Hours later, I called back hoping to get it, and they happily sent me a photo of it. I am very appreciative of their outstanding customer service.

My experience at this restaurant was quite unpleasant. The food tasted frozen and was not enjoyable at all. Adding to the dismay, I observed mice running around freely in the alley used for the prep kitchen and emergency exit in the inner room. This made me question the overall sanitary conditions of the restaurant.

My experience at the restaurant was very positive. I enjoyed the good food and the friendly service. The prices were decent, and it offered a quiet atmosphere, making for a pleasant dining experience.

My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the food quality. The taste was so poor it reminded me of heated dog water with noodles. While the prices were typical for San Francisco, the food did not justify the cost. The service and atmosphere were rated as average (2 out of 5), but the food received a very low rating (1 out of 5), making the overall dining experience unsatisfactory.

My experience at the restaurant was centered around the spicy fish w/ chili oil (#9). The fish was incredibly tender, served with bean sprouts and cabbage in a sauce that was perfectly spicy yet mild. It paired wonderfully with the claypot rice.

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially considering we arrived on a Sunday at 3 pm with a group of 11. They were incredibly accommodating, providing us with the back room, which is usually reserved for larger parties and booked for 5 pm. This private space featured automatic mahjong tables and a huge karaoke setup. We enjoyed the eel claypot rice, hot boiling oil fish, and several other dishes. It's always a classic, no matter which location you visit. A true Chinatown staple!

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the food quality. It was evident that the food was frozen, as the dumplings were served in aluminum foil. The Peking duck tasted bad and like it came directly from the freezer. The chicken lacked flavor, and the taste of the soya sauce was strange. I would avoid this place.

My experience at this restaurant was a journey back in time, offering authentic Taishan food. I tried a salt shrimp paste-based dish, which I personally loved as it brought back fond memories of my great grandmother. However, I must warn that this particular dish is not recommended for typical Americans due to its strong, potentially off-putting smell. If you decide to order it and find it too smelly, you've been warned!
