See all- Our First Dinner: A Taste of TaiwanNeeds location
Welcome to our new group! For our very first Meetup come join us at Taiwanese Gourmet in Elmhurst. The restaurant is actually on the New York Times list of 100 Best Restaurants
About the restaurant: This little gem of a restaurant in Elmhurst, Queens, offers a menu with options like stinky tofu and crispy pork chop, where every bite is a journey to the streets of Taiwan. Whether you're in the mood for spicy beef, tender fish, or a satisfying chicken leg over rice, the restaurant delivers authentic Taiwanese cuisine that leaves a lasting impression.
New York Times Review: This cash-only, no-nonsense oasis of Taiwanese cooking has been serving impeccable flies heads (stir-fried flowering chives and ground pork speckled with fermented black beans) and pungent stinky tofu to enthusiastic crowds since the 1990s. All the dishes on the extensive menu are cooked with care and expertise. A whole fish arrives delicately steamed, perfumed with strands of ginger and scallions; bouncy slices of kidney and liver in a concentrated brown glaze are cooked until soft and juicy; braised tofu skin envelops the pork roll, which in turn wraps around bits of daikon and savory minced meat. The move here is to pack the lazy susan on your table by over-ordering, then bring leftovers home to feast on slices of exceptionally crisp fried pork chop all week long.
