Taiwan Best Mart

Been wanting to try this place after eating at Very Fresh Noodles in the Chelsea Market in NYC, and that finally happened today! Got the beef noodle soup and friend got the popcorn chicken bento with scrambled eggs and eggplant as the sides. Tomato with the scrambled eggs were fire! My soup was a mix of subtly spicy and sour. The noodles and broth were good. I also grabbed a bag of frozen xiao long bao to go. They have other foods that they make and you can buy frozen too, like dumplings, scallion pancake, broth and sausages.

Hm.. I wanted to like this place but was disappointed. :( I came here because of all the reviews and a recommendation from a Youtuber I follow but it was underwhelming. I got the chili wonton and it didn't look like some of the (older I guess) reviews which were bigger and didn't have oyster(?) sauce as well... (That sauce really ruined it for me..) I saw one cilantro leaf, mostly scallions, and mostly wonton skin with quarter sized filling. It was pricey too.. for a small dish but we are from out of state so we may not be used to the higher pricing in CA. The sausage was good though. The purple rice my husband had in his sausage bowl was hard, dry, and not flavorful. I liked the winter melon tea. It was sweet and refreshing. Maybe their other menu items are better.

Shared the basil popcorn chicken ($11), fried potstickers ($6.50) and a soda ($2) for lunch today. The potstickers were super crisp and tasty. The chicken was tender and marinated with a mini-crunch Quickly-style breading on the outside. Finally the star of the show was the purple rice (!) cooked with pork stew broth and topped with pickled mustard, fried garlic and greens. I loved this rice. I will come back for this same dish. Also love the convenient bike parking out front.

10 people coming in here as a group for lunch is difficult. There are a very small shop work very limited seating. They had to bring out a fold out table for us. Between our group and all the walk in orders, some of us finished eating before others got their food. I think we overwhelmed them but they did a good job getting us fed. The bento boxes are good. So between the 10 of us recommended popcorn chicken, oyster pancake, wonton soup and the beef noodle soup. So several that's got different bento boxes. I got the pork belly which I really liked my friend. Got the popcorn chicken , and then my other friend got the fried pork chop. Only three of us in our group have experienced Taiwanese food, one of them being a person who grew up in Taiwan. The other seven really enjoyed their feud and was happy we picked this place. I just like to point out we came on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and it was slamming here.

Let me just start this with saying I am half Taiwanese/ half Japanese. I’ve been to Taiwan multiple times in my life, this is the closest I’ve gotten to feeling like I am back there. The food is fire, you can take it to go, eat it there, it doesn’t matter it’s still fire. 10/10 will recommend, tastes like my grandmothers cooking.
