I’ve been eating at Taiwan Chinese restaurant in Willow Glen for over 20 years. Since we are back in the Willow Glen area we decided to get take out as I can never say no to the honey walnut pawns. Our order consist of sweet-and-sour pork, pork fried rice, and honey walnut prawns with an individual serving of wonton soup. Sad to say I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the food this time around. The pork fried rice was crunchy and the wonton soup was absolutely disgusting. The broth was a heavy beef broth and not the nice light broth they usually have. The sweet-and-sour pork, of course is as basic Chinese food as you can get, and that was OK. The honey walnut prawns were good, not great. I feel we could have had better quality at Panda Express not to mention a whole lot cheaper on the wallet. 😩

From the moment we walked in, the service was slow and staff seemed uninterested. We ordered hot tea that never came, plus spicy chicken, honey walnut prawns, steamed vegetables, and chicken fried rice—all completely bland with no flavor. The worst part: when we poured our Sprites into glasses of ice, we found black bugs floating in both. Totally disgusted we stop eating and ask for the bill we paid and tried to leave. But server started arguing about the tip instead of apologizing and talking about the issue. Horrible food, poor customer service, and zero cleanliness. I’d never recommend this restaurant to anyone.

We’ve been going to this Chinese restaurant for years. We ordered take-out tonight, Sweet&Sour Pork and Broccoli & Beef. Very disappointed, the pork was way too fatty and the beef lacked tenderness. At 19+ per entree I expect a much better experience. I think they may be resting on the laurel a little too much and getting lazy.. C’mon guys, you’re better than this!

The food here is amazing! My husband used to travel often to China & Taiwan. He says this is the best Chinese food he's ever had. I agree!

The salad we received with our lunch special was underwhelming. I ordered hot and sour soup and received wonton soup which was flavorless, and very oily. The twice-cooked pork and cod with garlic sauce was decent. The dumplings with peanut sauce was forgettable. Honestly they weren't even dumplings. Staff inside were very nice. Place was clean. Restaurant is located in a very nice neighborhood.
