The latte was very average but voluminous i.e. the cup was big. The mochi donut was really tasty! It was basically fried mochi dough with granulated sugar on top. Gummy and chewy but not as chewy as something like candy gummy worms. The nian gao was alright: it was a tart with white creme and mandarins on top. More savory/breading flavored with the only sweetness coming from the creme. The mandarins were unnecessary kinda threw off the flavors. Overall a good bakery, I’d stick to the popular items like the mochi donut.

Here however, the dish has been undertaken with such exquisite taste and care to be elevated beyond the common fare to be perhaps the best egg biscuit I’ve ever had. First we begin with the eggs. Now turning over eggs into a fluffy yet compactly folded roll is a fine art. I must stress that the eggs were hot. Not cold. Not lukewarm. Hot. Which is how you want your eggs in a biscuit. Perfectly hot. Not dried or crusty. Fluffy and flavourful yet well formed, not falling apart. Now we come to the biscuit. Homemade and definitely not flaky. It stayed together for the duration and had great texture. The filter coffee was fine as well. I appreciated all the effort that went into making this a most enjoyable breakfast experience and I will be coming back to try what else is on offer.

Since it was our first time here, her recommendation on what to order exceeded our expectations—everything from marinated cucumbers to fried eggplant to sesame noodles to oyster omelet was flavorful. But when the dessert came, Maria wasn't joking around. The fried donut with sesame ice cream was huge but absolutely delicious, it just melted in our mouths ; It was a perfect way to end our meal. We were so full but very, very happy. It's nice to go to a restaurant where the servers are very well-versed in the menu, are friendly, and provide the best recommendations. We will surely be back here for dinner, and we hope to get Maria to be our server again!

We got a table for 6, shared a bunch of starters and main plates everything here is shareable and really worth trying different things. For me, the sesame noodles, oysters omelette andchicken bun were the highlights of the night. They only make reservations for group of 6. Only thing that could be improved isthe bathroom it can take 20+ minutes!

One note was that I was expecting stronger flavors (but probably it?s me). Overall good food, you can?t reserve but you need to walk in and be lucky to find a table. I suggest going early to limit the wait.

Everything was amazing though. I definitely recommend the sesame noodles and the chicken sandwich.

The atmosphere is loud and feels like a party. The food was also very non traditional, although still mostly decent in its own way. The foodwas not bad but also not great.

Highly recommend the pan grilled pork buns! I don't recommend the Flys head. There was barely any pork, it was all chives andrice. Not sure who pays 23 dollars for chives. Highly recommend the Ghost of Phil drink. And then after walk over to the bakeryfor some almond toffee cookie which is to die for. Great service.

Consider some of the famous dishes are mostly street food in Taiwan, just surprised to see a $30 lu rou fan!! Tian dou jiang taste is very odd, not sure what is in it but tasted like packaged tian dou jiang. The dessert is very questionable, I would love to know what the are trying to present tho, ice cream itself is very weird, crust is okay.Hash brown is a nicely present as a fusion dish, taste great and moist.

The plates range in size and are mostly plays on traditional Taiwanese food with a tweak here and there.I visited with friends, so we tried a bunch of different stuff and were all pretty happy with our choices (those included the fried dough, eggplant, pork buns, basil crepes and scallion pancakes). Everything was pretty delicious, however pretty overpriced, which in the end took the one star off my final review. It’s pretty good, but was not great enough to justify the price at a premium.

The experience was truly delightful, with Win Son delivering a menu full of bold and inventive flavors that excited my palate. Conveniently situated opposite their bakery, our meal began with a stop at this sweet retreat. The bacon pancake stood out, expertly balancing savory and sweet notes for a delicious start to our culinary adventure. The impressive selection of pastries also provided an indulgent treat. Eager to sample more, we proceeded to Win Son for a full meal. The dumplings were exceptional, offering bold, satisfying tastes with every bite, making them a highlight of the menu. While the steak tartare was decent, it didn’t quite match the high standard set by the other dishes, feeling a bit more ordinary and lacking the wow factor. The restaurant itself had a welcoming ambiance, creating a comfortable space to enjoy our meal. Service was excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who ensured everything went smoothly. The warmth of the team at Win Son truly enhanced the overall experience. Located in a vibrant Brooklyn neighborhood, Win Son benefits from a dynamic culinary scene, making it a must-visit for any food lover exploring the area.

Well-seasoned, crispy and juicy. I would recommend this place located in the hip neighborhood of Bushwick on Graham Ave. Outdoor seating is also available.
