What customers say?

“ Was craving for fried Taiwanese chicken (street food style) and found this place. It is located inside the mall. Hectic parking and drive. Took forever and still not able to find parking within 5mins walk but went in with other person waiting in the car outside. Nice small with drinks and other foods but we’re here just for the fried chicken. Good service & easy order - abit of a wait for the foods but that’s normal unless you’re behind someone ordered 8 ordered of fried chicken and others foods within 40mins before closed time. The chicken is hot, tasty and juicy plus big portion. Price is not bad…taste is similar to the ones in Taiwan street night market that we had. Definitely hit the craving sport for sure. Glad we found this place and had a wonderful memory of fried chicken. ”

“ Popcorn chicken is a classic! Well-seasoned, juicy, and has a kick to it without being too spicy. Most of the basil is too small or brittle to easily eat but is also tasty. Perfect for an after school snack. ”

“ Their popcorn chicken and crispy king mushrooms are so good! I love that you can customize the spice level and seasoning. Plus, they give you a generous portion. I also ordered their new item: k-soy garlic chicky pop. Excited to try this out. ”

“ We got the rick box and drink combo - Treasure Rice Box with Sour Plum drink. We also got the plum fries. The chicken thigh in the rice box was really salty to me and I had to eat it with the rice or the pickled veggie in the box. I really like the pickled veggies. I thought the sour plum drink was alright. I wish the wording on the ordering machine wasn't "no boba" or "extra boba" because it made me assume there was boba included. I would have added boba in my drink. The fries tasted sweet but it was also pretty salty like the chicken. ”

“ My go to place when I miss Taiwanese hometown food. Food taste a bit different in my last visit. Feel like someone forgot to add the most important part the fragrance secret powder. Overall is good value and when the food under quality control, it actually taste better than the Berkeley Shihlin. ”

“ The fried chicken is pretty good here. We had the mango shaved ice $10, popcorn chicken $10, XXL Chicken Thigh $10. The XXL beast one was sold out due to shortages. Their seasoning reminded me of food from Quickly's. The portions are good for what you pay for. Please note, there's no longer a cashier. You have to order through an ipad type of device. Which is kind of weird. ”

“ Good popcorn chicken. So far the best one out there among others. 10/31/21: Went got another snack fix with Shinlin. Still good as it gets and handsome portions. As you can see it goes hand in hand with a lemons tea which you can get at the ground floor below. ”

“ Well lunch was not bad at all. Pop corn chicken is tender and flavored. The fish ball was tasty and over all it’s good. Price well it’s in a food court. What did you expect from food court. But over I would come back! ”
