This used to be a hotpot restaurant, and now it's a Taiwanese cuisine. The place is clean and it's comfortable to sit down. I like their Sanbei chicken, but watch out for bones. The Peas Sprouts with Garlic was fantasy too.

I came here because of a groupon deal... But I really regret it, the food was plain and service was awful! I got up a couple of times requesting for napkin and soy sauce!! The server was quick to the table to check the tips. Even with a groupon deal it is not worth it!!! There are plenty of better food choices in flushing!

I was in Flushing.CAME here after Wing's lil UYE.I wondered if such a place actually existed.Shaved ice for the Yelp familia.Always get condensed milk.Will...have to come back to try the food.I liked the seating, but the service was lacking.CONQUERED.

Food is less than average... When we went for lunch, the restaurant didn't have the heat on and only 2 people serving the entire restaurant. I went for Groupon deal but I wouldn't go back.

I miss Taiwan everyday, it might have something to do with the large amounts of delicious inexpensive food that's everywhere, so when I saw 101 Taiwanese Cuisine offered on Groupon, I've decided I must try it.We ordered a few things, the 3 cup chicken (SanBei) - the chicken was overcooked and dry even with the large amount of sauce it's swimming in; Salty (popcorn) chicken - this was seasoned pretty okay, but it was also slightly too done; Meat balls in Brown Sauce - tenderly cooked meatballs that's served on top of some napa cabbage and some bamboo shoots, nicely done; Fish belly in Brown Sauce - "Buffalo" fish that is fried then put in brown sauce, not worth getting, parts were too dry and the fish is VERY bland if you don't have a heaping spoonful of sauce with every bite.Service was very slow, but the staff were friendly, even though one of the ladies was coughing the whole time without covering her mouth...Perhaps I've ordered the wrong things from this place, but they're fairly common dishes and I expected better. I'm okay to not come back here again.

From the moment we walked in this place was amazing and definitely impressive. food is taste ok ,i don't like the service in here,they only give good service for the rich and white people.but we still give them good tips.

20 years ago, the first corner shack on Roosevelt & Prince started selling Smelly/Stinky Tofu, Oyster Pancakes, and shaved ice. Since then dozen of copy cat restaurants have popped up with similar Taiwanese Night Market foods, making Flushing the Mecca for Taiwanese cuisine.I walked into this place and saw A LOT of Old Taiwanese Grandma's sitting around with their Joy Luck Club Gang, so you KNOW this place gotta be legit.They must have hired a cook straight out of the back alley night markets from the southern part of Taiwan because their dishes taste like nothing you'd find in Flushing today. Here are some highlights.Taiwanese Sausage - They make this fresh in the back, you don't get that supermarket packed feeling you get from the other places. This sausage is pink, not red, so you know it's from being smoked properly, and not food coloring. The meat is tender, well seasoned, and there's only lean cuts. Possibly THE BEST TAIWANESE SAUSAGE I've ever tasted. And I've tasted a lot of Taiwanese sausages. (keep your mind out of the gutter)Smelly/Stinky Tofu: At $10, you better be getting a kick ass plate of Tofu, right? It's DOUBLE the size of any other places so it's worth it. There's 4 major components to Stinky Tofu. 1) fermented tofu, 2) the soy sauce, 3) hot sauce, 4) pickled vegetables. I can tell you right now, it stinks, there's at least 10 ingredients in the soy sauce they used because it tasted like nothing I've tasted before, the hot sauce is more than just canned bean paste you get from other places, and the pickled vegetables has hints of plum, which is insane. I don't even think you can get stinky tofu like this in Taiwan, man. Legit.3 Cup Chicken: They use LIVE CHICKENS killed that day from those Live Chicken Places in Flushing. This is AS FRESH as chicken can get. The amount of basil and ginger you see in the clay pot lets you know they care about seasoning, not about making money. Put the oil left over at the bottom of the pot over your rice, and you'd eat so much rice even your kids will be diabetic. It's *&(ing awesome.Move over Laifood, Gu-Shiang, Flushing Mall Food Court, and whatever Taiwanese place you think makes good Taiwanese food. Spend a few more bucks for fresh ingredients cooked the right way. If people start finding out about this place, every other Taiwanese restaurant in Flushing will close for sure.

I came here to eat lunch with my friend and my boyfriend. We had a groupon for $60 worth of food. We definitely ordered way too much. For an appetizer, we had a spicy tendon and boy was it spicy! My lips burned, but it was too tasty, so I just kept eating it. The waitress also gave us a complimentary bowl of edamame. In addition, we ordered the chicken and corn soup, a lunch sized portion of shredded beef with peppers (this should have come with a bowl of seaweed soup as per the lunch menu, but it was missing), a seafood dish (slices of fish, pieces of fish stomach, scallops, shrimp, and snow pea pods), squash with mushroom, watercress with garlic (for some reason the waitress said they ran out of watercress for lunch and only had the dinner sized portion), pig blood rice cake, and shaved ice with condensed milk, lychee jello, and green beans. Everything was pretty tasty and I had plenty left over for lunch the next day. I definitely feel like the restaurant uses quality ingredients. Overall, I would come here again.

Came here for the Taiwanese shaved ice. They serve it it 3 size portions. Individual, large, and party size (size of a big mixing bowl). The group of 10 of us went with the large and it was large enough to serve us all. Great toppings of fruit, syrups, beans. I'm a fan of the condensed milk, lychee balls, and mango. Flavors were intense and mixed well with the ice.The service was friendly and nice. The manager actually was quite funny almost like a stand up comic as we partaked in the shaved ice as he went through his comedic set. We found out from him that the establishment has gone full taiwanese cuisine and isn't focussing much on the shaved ice anymore. After our lil group i think they will be changing their mind and bringing back the shaved ice more front and center.

got a groupon for $60 and went to town with the ordering of food. We were waiting around for someone to come get our order for a good 20 min though. But once ordered, the food came pretty quickly. We got a plate of pickled lima beans. They were delicious!small eats:- salty crispy chicken - YUM! boneless and even the fried basil leaves were tasty- pork blood rice cakes - too soft and the sauce too sweet. meh- gua bao similar to Baohaus - pretty tasty. The meat was not as fatty as I'd like but it was still pretty decent.- stinky tofu - liked the kimchi and the sauce with slight kick. Tofu wasn't stinky enough. but still good.carbs:- shrimp fried rice - large shrimps, big portion, but slightly less flavored than i'd like- beef soup noodle - good hearty broth, 4 large pieces of tender beef + lots of noodles- braised ground pork rice - about 2 bowls of standard rice bowl. yummy!main dishes:- sesame oil kidney - so tender, so fragrant, so good... too many pcs of ginger tho!- 3 cup chicken - pretty good. decent flavor.medium sized shaved ice **** - highlight of the meal. The lady recommended this for us (5 adults + 2 kids). Even after all the food we had eaten, we still devoured it. Lots of topping :D

Extremely disappointed with this restaurant. Let me break down what happened.My party of 9 decided to try this place out because a friend in our party had purchased a groupon (or some kind of online deal). We also went on easily one of the busiest nights of the year, New Year's eve. I don't know if it's the combination of being new year's eve and us having a coupon, we did not enjoy our meal at all.The restaurant is really spacious and was extremely packed. We arrived at 8PM and was led to the back of the restaurant. The walls were decorated with pictures of taiwan, which I thought was really nice. There is a private room in the back also. The place is brightly lit and it's quite comfortable. We started looking through the menu and there are many traditional Taiwanese dishes. We ordered the sanpei chicken, Lion Head Meatballs, Stinky tofu, stir fried rice cakes with vegetables, minced pork over rice, oyster omelet, and a couple of other dishes that slipped my mind.The service was great in the beginning, the waitress came to take our order promptly and answered any of our questions. Then it went downhill. Nobody tended to us except to deliver the dishes. Theres at least a 10 minute gap, if not more, between dishes. A couple of the dishes were lukewarm. The oyster omelet was too sweet with the sauce and doughy. The stinky tofu I actually liked a lot, but wished they had a sweet sauce and pickled vegetables to go with it. The minced pork over rice was drenched in sauce, there was so much sauce it almost became a soup. After those dishes, the food stopped coming entirely.We waited and waited, so we decided to ask the waitress. She brings out our order form, and looked it over, and started telling us that they did not have sanpei chicken nor the lion head meatballs. These dishes are pretty well known and popular taiwanese dishes, and I was really surprised that they ran out. They should have told us right away once they found out they ran out. Instead of having us ask them about the dishes. Also, they missed an order we placed, so that had to be put in again, which makes more of a delay. Mind you we see dishes being pumped out of the kitchen and going to all the other tables, so it's not like something happened in the kitchen. I just don't know what really happened.The waitress, feeling bad, gave us a dish on the house, it was a dish of some kind of kidneys with ginger, which pretty much no one touched after taking a piece to try. By then we were pretty much done with this place and just wanted to leave.I was really sad that this is where I went to have my last dinner before the end of 2012.

Great food, Great service, we were full after eating, but what annoyed my friends and I about this place was that the waitress complained that the tip we left was "too little..." With that said, we are not going to come back here if they are going to complain about tips. Be thankful we left something...

One of the worst. Cannot even be compared to Gu Shiang. Three-cup chicken = oily and few pcs of chicken. The other two dishes were too bland to be remembered. Fried oyster was not bad but was served as the LAST dish (it is listed as an app)... I am disappointed because the ambiance is sooo great, so much better than most resto in Flushing - It's spacious, clean, and the bathroom is great too. But the food ruined such a great first impression. Get a new chef is my advice.

This may be the best Chinese in New York. Read on and you will see my argument. But it was great Taiwanese. I went with my wife, who is Fujianese (right near Taiwan and culturally sympatico) and our Guangzhonese friend who knows many of the Chinese restaurants in New York.We were determined to go there after the neighboring parking lot attendant extolled it as a wonderful Taiwanese style restaurant. We had recently been dissapointed by Gu Shine restaurant which we heard was the best in Flushing for Taiwanese food. My wife considers this kind of food "comfort food" since it's so similar to her native Fujienese cuisine.It was Christmas day, so we were just getting a snack. Unfortunately we ate a bit to much to enjoy our Christmas dinner at our Guangdong friends house. As we entered, the atmosphere is quite upscale by the standards of Flushing, which is to say not wonderful, but better than most of the rest in the neighborhood.The chef came from a 5 star hotel in Taiwan and is a cut above anything in New York without a lot of fanfare. He does fruit and vegetable carvings (I got to see pictures that the owner had) in great detail. Chinese gods, warriors, fish, and much more for banquets.Definately clean and spacious however, with a cavernous interior. Here's what we had:SANBEITIANJI-this is a famous Southern Chinese dish, but we substituted frog for chicken (the name changes). This was extremely rich and delicious with the proper amount of sesame oil and a rich sweet and salty sauce. You can have this with other meats, and my wife wouldn't let me order the duck tongues, which I love, and she doesn't. SANBEIJI means 3 cups chicken and is called this because there is 1 cup each of sesame oil, soy sauce and xiao xing or some other wine. 5 out of 5. Just a tad salty.RUROUFAN: Braised pork on rice. Very good. 4.5 out of 5.GUABOW whcih they called TAIWANESE HAMBURGER: This is a steamed rice flour steamed bread with braised pork inside and some pickled cabbage and peanuts. Not enough meat, and was disapointing. 3 out of 5.SHANTANGDOMIAO: This was a vegetable dish made from young pea shoots and some chicken broth along with "thousand year old eggs" which are not really 1000 years old. The pea shoots were great, the sauce elegant and sublte, the eggs were not overpowering. 5 out of 5.JIAOYENPAIGU: Salt and pepper ribs. These ribs were well marinated and tasted great and cut in a way that they were extremely tender. 5 out of 5.TAIWANESE ICES: Great desert. Shaved ice with various additions. We had pudding, pineapple and lychee along with small balls filled with a yoghurt.The service was pretty weak-normal for Flushing. The owner talked to us for a while. The restaurant has not at all caught on in the neighborhood since it's pricier than most Flushing eateries. But my wife and our friend from Guandong pronounced this place as quite good-best in New York including both China Town Manhattan and Flushing. I had to agree.If you go there, ask the owner, Mike, if he would make his spicy fried chicken wings which isn't yet on the menu (as of today). He claims it's pretty wonderful. If you are adventurous, try the "stinky tofu" which he thinks is up there too, and I trust him.This is a good reason to go to Flushing for those of you Manhattanites. I will make this a destination restaurant in the future. THe menu is huge and well worth the exploration. The parking garage next door is quite cheap at about $3 per hour. Definately makes it worth the drive.

We came with friends and we went crazy ordering a whole table of Taiwanese dishes out of nostalgia and homesickness. 101 Taiwanese is one of the more high-end Taiwanese restaurants in New York and it is perfect for a big group.The decor is a flashback of Taiwanese famous tourist sites and the place itself is clean. We tried almost 10 dishes and satisfied our hunger and desire for hometown food. The highlights are the sauteed pork kidney with ginger, water spinach stir-fry, three cup chicken, cod fish with sauteed pin enuts and stinky tofu with Chinese basil leaves. The best part is their pork belly bun. It is big, meaty with this crushed peanut crunch on top with Taiwanese pickles. It is better than any pork bun you get in the city and I am talking about Momofuku, Baohaus, etc. And by the way, they are cheaper too!The owner came by at the end of the dinner to deliver some special jokes and on-the-house red bean soups himself. He reminds me of how nice us Taiwanese people are.I am coming back for more!

Came only for the shaved ice. $4 for a ginormous bowl topped with red beans, condensed milk, and lychee jelly. HEAVEN!

We came for the Taiwanese fares and we were not disappointed. There are far too few Taiwanese restaurants left in Flushing and this is the best right now. Granted not every dish was superb, but some are truly authentic and satisfying. Just to name a few: fried stinky tofu, minced pork over rice, Taiwanese style hamburger, and shaved ice were excellent! I hope the restaurant would make it so Taiwanese Americans can come here for some nostalgia fix!The restaurant is spacious and airy; something you don't usually find in Flushing. There are also party rooms in the back. The place definitely has lots of potentials.

Mediocre food. Terrible service. Dishes came came out 15-20 minutes apart. Avoid!
