Tainan Bistro Tái Nán Xiǎo Chī）

Cheap and delicious Taiwanese food. Had some amazing finds such as oyster omelette, large intestine and pig blood, Taiwanese snacks.

Learned from a friend yesterday that this place served Taiwanese night market style food. Went to try it out today. Good Taiwanese night market food, reasonable price with big volume. However, the selections were less than what I was hoping for. Hope they will further expand the selections. They also server other Taiwanese cousins as well as Panda Express style fast food, carry out or dine in.

The place is clean and well organized. It's a large seating area with large tables. I visited on a Saturday around 3 pm. There were still a couple of patrons eating.I am disappointed that the majority of their menu is defunct. I ask for a couple of things, like pan fried buns, but it looks like they only make mostly wontons now. I may have come at an odd time, but the cashier said they don't make the stuff that I pointed to on the menu anymore. I ended up getting the apparently taiwanese style scallion pancake and a pork and cabbage steamed dumpling. Both of them did not taste fresh, and were overly bready. The chilli oil is fantastic though!

The best thing here is their oyster omelette 蚝煎 柯仔煎, which is very famous in Guangdong or Taiwan. Other bento boxes are also very delicious. The store has been open since 2016, when I was a student very high value and friendly to students, we could spend less than 10$ for a full meal. You cannot find such a delicious fast food store anymore anywhere. We left Houston 2019 but I always missed their oyster pancake and today I brought my whole family back to this restaurant. I wish there is something similar in Austin!

The clean restaurant. The cuisine is delicious.The soup “Taiwanese Style Pork in Thick Soup “was sold out in “2023 Taiwan yes market”. Especially I recommend the new plates “Taiwanese steak with spaghetti “ and “chicken steak with spaghetti “. ???They offer two sauces for opinions:” black pepper sauce“ and “ mushroom sauce“. They provide kind service.???
