Java Cafe Taiwanese Cuisine

During our visit to the area, we decided to stop by this restaurant after reading the reviews, and we're so glad we did! The bottom line is that we experienced an "authentic feel" that we haven't encountered anywhere else. We're not sure if it was the ingredients, the recipe, or a combination of both, but the flavors transported us back to the local food we enjoyed in Taipei. Everything we tried (as shown in the pictures below) was excellent!

As for the food, the short rib in taro rice noodle soup was tough and chewy, and the soup itself had no flavor. The spicy stinky tofu lacked taste, and they suggested adding duck blood tofu, which wasn't on the menu. It was surprising to find out that it was a $20 dish—definitely not worth the price. On a positive note, the fried oyster dish was excellent, and the three-cup chicken met our expectations. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, especially considering the high recommendations and positive reviews. We will definitely not be returning.

The flavors were authentic and everything was delicious. There were also vegetables that can only be found in Taiwan, making me want to come back again!

We visited the area and stopped by to try based on reviews and we were happy we did! Bottom line is we tasted ?authentic feel? we haven?t experienced anywhere else. We aren?t sure if it was the ingredients or the recipe, the taste put us back in local food we experienced in Taipei. Everything we had (pictured below) were excellent.

Pretty decent Taiwans cuisine. I like the minced pork rice the best; sweet and salty. The fried oyster is also pretty tasty.
