Taiwanese Gourmet

The tastes are not bad, value is okay. Side dishes are pretty good.

Since 1994, Taiwanese Specialties has been making authentic Taiwanese food in Queens. Having spent some time in Taiwan and having been spoiled with some of the best Taiwanese food, I can confidently say that there's a reason this place has thrived for so long - even through a pandemic. Their Salt + Pepper Chicken was amazing - it lost a little crunch after my 30 minute ride back to the apartment, but the flavor was exactly what you'd hope for at a Boba shop or a night market in Taipei. The Pork Chop Rice was also perfect - that flavor was everything you want in this dish, and the bites near the bone were the best. The 3-cup chicken and Glutinous Rice with Sausage were also both really good, and while the broth in this Beef Stew Noodle Soup was a bit different than I'd had previously, the noodles were great and the beef was tender and flavorful. Enjoy!

The food is the best! The people are so nice and I’ve been coming here for years!

This place is a gem. They have lunch specials order 2 items and soup for $20 dollars. Me and my uncle love clams with basil. Have had the fried scallops their noodles. Tofu soup with egg all worthy to try.

Always a great pleasure to have a meal here. I love their beef with scallions and sautéed clam basil. Three cup chicken from here is so good too! Highly recommend to give a try!
