Taipei Station Cafe

First time uere and loved the food! Ate it so fast each bite tasting like what my grandparents made back in Taiwan. Although the pork chop could use more seasoning in the breading everything we had tasted amazing!

Was told that this place was good
Décor was tasteful but food was disappointing
Orders pork fried steak rice
The pork was full of batter n the meat was thin — looks n taste like it was fried n retried — taste like cardboard n look like one
N where is the pickle vege that goes w all Taiwan dishes? Instead we had shredded blanch vege. No taste
Then we ordered the dessert like snow cone — too little ingredient
Would be better if coconut milk was added
Price — too expensive
The food court in Plano serve better equivalent — much cheaper

Worst business hour

Tomato beef soup is the really yummy one, try that one out! Friendly staff and fast service, the only thing is that they close at 2:30 but we stayed until 3pm and they did not kick us out. All dishes look great.

What a great and tasty place to eat in Dallas area. Homemade spicy noodles that were well and truly spicy with beef that was nice and tender. The spicy popcorn chicken was good too, but the highlight for me was the Guo Bao (锅包). Wow, so amazing. Tender, slightly sweet pork, partnered with peanuts and cilantro in a delicate bun. So tasty. I don’t live near Dallas so this is going to haunt me for a while.

This place is straight GOLD.
GOOD STUFF:
— Food. Is. Delicious. Period. End of story. I’ve never been to Taiwan, but it tastes exactly what I imagine it would taste like in Taipei. So hedge that authenticity hot take with a grain of salt.
— Humongous proportions for a really affordable price. Seriously, you’ll probably be able to split your dish into two meals. Boom.
BAD (ish) STUFF:
— Cash only. AND they charge tax. Ugh. I don’t want these pennies.
REC DISHES:
1. Taiwanese Chicken Nuggets — Awesome fry, awesome batter, awesome taste, awesome chicken. Get itttt.
2. Fried Pork Chop Rice — Basically… a fried pig on top of rice. Really simple concept, but masterfully executed.
3. Marinated Pork Rice — This is by far the shining star of this joint. Super tender and juicy pork belly. Could eat this for the rest of my life and be completely happy.
As it stands, this is my favorite Taiwanese joint in AND out of Taiwan*. Yeah, I said it. GO GET IT.
*again, I have never been to Taiwan*

I really love this place, reminds me of the Taiwanese food that I miss in Houston. Their beef noodle soup is really tasty and the beef is tender. I love three pig knuckles as well. I am disappointed that they don’t serve potstickers.

Tried this place for the first time on 04-​09-​2016. Their hours are a little different (i.e. 2 three-​and-​a-​half hour spurts so you might drop by between 2:30 and 5 P.M. and be surprised to find them closed). We got the Taiwanese Style Popcorn Chicken, Marinated Pork over Rice, Handmade Gua Bao, and a Milk Tea with Boba + Pudding. The portions were generous; the milk tea was good and the tapioca pearls were perfectly chewy. Our server was also very enthusiastic and polite. There was even a bottle of hand sanitizer at every table. It’s «cash only» for payment though, so keep that in mind if you don’t usually carry cash (like me!).

Love me some gua baos from here. It’s too bad they only serve them on Saturdays.

Love the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup! I dream about it sometimes.
Order the handmade flat noodles (Don’t forget mark the menu for the regular noodles)

Pros:
— Authentic cuisine (reminded me a lot of my visit to Taiwan)
— Delicious food
— Big portions (One of the cons I see in other reviews is the price, but these dishes are huge. I honestly think you can eat some of these dishes for two meals)
Cons:
— May be hard if you don’t speak mandarin but each table gets a sheet of paper where you can tick mark what you want
— Cash only
I’m a little surprised this place only has 3.5 stars with the glowing reviews I receive, especially from other Unilocalers. I think this is a must try restaurant if you are into Asian/​Taiwanese food because this is by far the closest restaurant I have found to the food I had in Taiwan. Some of the dishes I have tried thus far:
1. Appetizers: Taiwanese Chicken Nuggets — Well-​flavored and really enjoyed the crisp
2. Noodles: Tomato Flavored Beef Noodle — Deliciously tomatoey with handmade noodles. Tastes great if you have ever tried regular beef noodle soup.
3. Rice Dish: Fried Pork Chop — Classic Taiwanese dish. This thing is huge!
4. Specials: Gua Bao — Famous $ 7 marinated pork sandwich. Treat it as a meal or an appetizer to share.
5. Drinks: Huge assortment of teas. I really enjoyed the winter melon tea and have never seen it anywhere else before.
Its been a long time since my girlfriend and I have found a place we want to keep coming back to. There are several dishes so this place is going to take a while to cross off the list for us!

My friend & I were dying to go eat at this place but their hours are so weird. They close at 2:30 for lunch. When we finally got to go, it sure did not disappoint!
Service: it’s your typical Taiwanese/​Chinese restaurant you shouldn’t expect great service, but since the restaurant is quite small, I saw the servers walking around constantly, which is a good thing. My friend is Chinese so we didn’t have a problem ordering, but I could see why others would have a hard time. The concept of how you order is they give you a sheet when you sit down and you mark what you want, appetizers, main entrees, and even the drinks/​bobas.
Food: Everything came out extremely fast, even for a Friday morning lunch, which was awesome. We ordered the popcorn chicken, chicken rolls, the gua Bao, marinated chicken, and the spicy beef noodle soup.
I have a serious loveee for popcorn chicken and basil leaf, and theirs was really good! I wish there was an option to make it spicy though.
Next thing you definitely have to try is the gua Bao! It’s basically a big steamed bun with pork belly, pickle greens, cilantro, and crushed peanuts. ITS HUGE. We ordered one and shared half and it was still huge. It’s a must try!
The chicken roll was whatever to me, and the marinated chicken is also huge! Definitely needs the sauce to taste good, without it it tasted pretty plain.
The beef noodle soup was also the best I’ve tried compared to other Chinese places. The soup had so much flavor, and they hand make their own noodles too! It was so good :)
Definitely would come back and try other items.
p.s CASH ONLY!

I visited Taipei Station in December 2015 and it was packed!!! So this was my first time eating at a «Taiwanese» establishment; I did not know what to expect. My dad has been here SEVERAL times before and he is a creature of habit, so he orders the same thing.
I ordered the beef noodle soup, NON-​SPICY, and no tendons. I found it spicy, even though it said NOT spicy. :/​I’m a weaksauce. *sad face. Other people at my table ordered the spicy version with and without the beef tendons. My mother fell in love with the broth and she ordered my brother to find the recipe so she can learn how to make it herself… which he has not done yet.
We also ordered the popcorn chicken appetizer and the chicken roll. They were both really good and were gone in less than a minute. Our mouth was so parched afterwards that we needed dessert to compensate for the meal. The only dessert option was the crème brûlée apparently… *shrugs. We asked if they had the taro dessert listed on the menu, but the waitress said no.
Side note: I strongly believe they use some amount of MSG… because of the parched mouth and the wave of tiredness immediately hit us afterwards.
Most of the waitresses/​waiters speak Chinese (Mandarin), so just beware! My dad did all the ordering and communicating, thank goodness. Our waitress did not know what we asked of her, so maybe she was new. I believed the service was quick. As others have stated, it is quite pricey, but at the same time… the portion sizes are HUGE. And as others stated also, it is cash only! So you have been warned!

Four stars, because it’s one of the better Taiwanese places in the DFW area with dishes that you can’t find too easily here. My Taiwanese friends in the area agree on the quality of the food and variety. For a first timer here, I’d recommend ordering the pork chop fried over rice! It’s a great dish that is well done here with a HUGE portion. They don’t skimp on the pork and just serve you batter, like lots of other restaurants will. I’ve also enjoyed the beef noodle soup and oyster omelette, as well as the fried tofu appetizer.
I hear the boba/​bubble tea here is only okay, so save your money for that elsewhere at better places in Plano.
Not a fan of the service here, however. I understand that it gets really busy here (beware! even on weekdays), but it’s unacceptable. Cash only!

Lukewarm Taiwanese offering. Not much competition here in Dallas, so they have little pressure to up their game. Poor service, disproportionate servings and lousy service make this a place you can easily pass on.
They play Christian music here, which I find offensive and irritating. It’s tacky to force religion on your client base. Please pontificate your beliefs somewhere else than when people are stuck eating in your establishment.
Pricing is much higher that expected. Portions are huge though, so the value is somewhat there. Order the minimum and it will still be too much for you to eat. They need to decrease their prices AND portions significantly to make things more standard.
Beef Noodle soup (mild). Savory broth, although a bit sweet for my taste. House made noodles. Very good.
Gua Bau. Pork belly bun was double what you normally get. Stuffed way too much and is too meat heavy for balance vs the bun.
Pork chop rice. Monstrous portions. Meat was dry and over breaded. Not much in way of flavor either. Didn’t think much of this dish
Service was pretty slow, given that they have full staff of servers. They were really not focused on doing their jobs properly. Check was $ 30, we gave them $ 40 and they brought back change in the form of one $ 10 bill. Wife and I face palmed ourselves in sync because there’s no way we’d tip the $ 10 on a $ 30 check. Common sense please people!!! Had to walk up to the register to ask for smaller bills. Also, cash only is a pain in the butt given how modern society uses credit cards so often these days.
Food took a while to come out as well. Servers were standing in front of the kitchen window like cars stuck in rush hour. This isn’t a place to go if you’re in a rush or expect to be taken care of.

Great variety of Taiwanese food, but expensive! Came here with friends and we ordered a number of things to share like the Fried Pork Chop Over Rice, and the Spicy Tomato Beef Noodle Soup. It was pretty good, but not worth the price. This place is CASH only so be prepared!

You have to try this place right now! I am Taiwanese and have travelled the world, this place is the BEST Taiwanese I’ve ever had outside of Taiwan. It is even better than half of the places I’ve eaten in Taiwan. I only had one dish, the marinated pork with bamboo shoots. It’s a dish I grew up with in Taiwan and even in Taiwan I have failed to find a place that does it better than my grandmother. This place comes very close. The meal was under $ 10. The portion was huge. Everything on the plate was perfectly executed, from the pork, rice, eggs, bamboo, the minced pork sauce, and the vegetables. This is the most authentic Taiwanese place outside of Taiwan. You cannot miss it. It was such a pleasant surprise.

Whew this place is super busy! I came with some friends on a Saturday night, and there was a long wait at 6:30. When we finally got seated (after maybe like 40 min), they had run out of some dishes already, which was kind of sad. They had run out of the marinated chicken rice, pork knuckle rice, and some noodle dishes by the time we ordered.
We tried the chicken rolls, beef noodle soup (spicy and non spicy), pork chop rice, and marinated pork rice. The chicken rolls were really good! Tender, flavorful filling inside and crispy tofu skin on the outside. I also liked the beef noodle soup because the noodles were thick and chewy and the beef was super tender. The broth was a little salty for my taste, though.
The pork chop rice lacked seasoning in the batter, so it was kind of bland. It’s gigantic and covers the whole plate, but that’s because the meat is just pounded very thinly. It was fried nicely though and had a good crunch. The rice plates also come with veggies and a marinated egg, yum!
The marinated pork is pretty much just pork belly, and it’s the same meat as what is inside the gua bao. It’s pretty tasty! The gua bao is hugeee and is definitely best to be shared. It’s kind of weird though, because in Taiwan they’re definitely not that big, haha.
I’m glad they have some traditional Taiwanese street dishes here. Some of them can use a little improvement, but I am mostly satisfied with the food here, especially with the big portions and reasonable pricing. It’s cash only, though so be aware of that!

Truly good Taiwanese food is hard to find in the states, but this place (although not perfect) gets slightly close!
The portions are huge and you really get the most out of your cash. I’d highly recommend the chicken roll appetizer. It is surprisingly the reason why I come back here. Although it’s a very simple dish, the chicken texture on the inside pairs nicely with the eggroll like crunch on the outside of the roll.
For the entrée, I would recommend the fried pork chop or chicken rice platter. Or if you’re in a more noodle soup mood, then try the tomato beef noodle soup. The noodles and meat have a nice chewiness to it and the broth is perfect for a cold day.
Also, even if it is cold, you should still try the red bean shaved ice! Epitome of Taiwanese desserts. They don’t skimp out of my the red beans like most other Restaurants and they serve the sugar on the side so you can personally control the amount of sugar added to it. If you’re a little nervous about eating beans with ice with sugar, you should be. It’s a weird concept. Worst comes to worst, you tried it and hate it. BUT «best comes to best», you end up loving one of the best Taiwanese desserts ever created!
(Would have given 4 stars, but when we came during rush hour at 630 on a Saturday night, half of their main dishes were sold out. We were Asian parent disappointed.)

Simple but detailed enough menu (which I like!). My boyfriend and I ordered the fried pork chop and marinated chicken and the portions were HUGE! We couldn’t finish either of our plates but did leave with a satisfy tummy. I really wanted to try the desserts but didn’t have room, maybe next time! Great food as well as service, and clean restaurant. Will be coming back.
** CASH ONLY **

This is currently my favorite restaurant to get Spicy beef soup. This restaurant is pretty basic compare to other Chinese restaurants in the area just by a glance. They offer the same dishes as other Chinese restaurants, but their food are more recognizable by the portion and how flavorful it is. The two dishes i commonly get are the Spicy beef and tendon noodle soup, and the rice with pork cutlet. Sometimes my noodle soup only came with a couple of small pieces of meat, but they’ve been improving on that matter. The size of the pork cutlet is enormous, probably the size of your head or bigger O= My boyfriend recently tried their rice with pork knuckles, which was a disappointment because the knuckles were mainly bones. I understand how some of the rating are very low because of the poor service. I do think they need to improve on that aspect. I’m guessing their poor service is due to them constantly getting new servers.

Not sure what all the complaint over services is about, I’ve been here numerous times and the staff’s always been prompt and efficient. Maybe not the most smiles I’ve seen in a restaurant but that’s highly expected at most authentic Chinese restaurants from my experiences, plus, I come here for the food.
Prices aren’t cheap compared to other cash only Chinese restaurants but I also think the portions are bigger too, hasn’t been once where I can finish a whole plate of their rice plates yet. Noodles are more so Taiwanese style with tomatoes, its always cooked well and the broth is delicious too, one of my favorite places to get beef noodle soup. The only food items that were a bit disappointing was the oyster noodles (under appetizer), it’s a Taiwanese dish that I don’t believe can be good unless it’s from a shop in Taiwan, oh how I miss thee: P
I also enjoy most of their tea’s that I’ve tried, they offer some traditional Taiwanese flavored bubble teas that might not be found in other tea shops. And of course their Gua bao on the weekends, the pork belly’s irresistible.
All in all, ⁵⁄₅ stars from a Taiwanese girl who keeps coming back on a monthly basis for a taste-​like-​home kind of cuisine.

We made a beeline here after the recent glowing Observer review & once again that publication proves its worthiness on the Dallas food scene. The pork chop was crispy & plate-​sized, as promised, with umami-​rich Taiwanese lettuce & egg. I’ve never had rice arrive with a sidecar of gravy– it was a rich & welcome salty companion. He had the tomato beef tendon soup with chewy excellent house noodles. Service was attentive & it’s an unusually spacious place for an authentic Asian food experience. We had no idea portions would be so large so we added potstickers, which were indeed like mini burritos filled with pork & leeks, crunchy on one side & somehow steamed on the other, but open on both ends. Everything was tasty as hell.

Disclaimer: this place has some of the worst service I’ve ever experienced, even for a Chinese restaurant. It seems like they’ve upped their staff after moving to their new location, but the servers still pretty much ignore you. Oh, and it’s cash only, so be prepared! But their food is really good, so my rating only reflects my opinions on the food.
I would say that this is one of the few authentic Taiwanese cafes in the DFW area. They serve a lot of Taiwanese street food that you can’t find at any other restaurants (such as oyster omelettes, oyster noodles, chicken roll, pork feet, etc.).
When we walked in, we were handed menus to mark our orders on and led to our table. I ordered the fried pork chop over rice, but there are a ton of other great options on their menu. When I received the food, my jaw dropped (in the best of ways). The pork chop was literally the size of my head, maybe bigger. And it came with a steak knife. That’s how serious this pork chop was. It was soooooo yummy! It was fried to crispy perfection, seasoned well, and came with rice, sauteed veggies, and a side of meat gravy. My friends all said they really enjoyed their food as well, especially their handmade noodles.
I’ve found my new favorite place for pork chop rice! I just wish it weren’t so far away.

Food: 5 stars. Service: 2 stars.
The food here is AMAZING. All of the appetizers are delicious — I highly recommend the pork bun, which is big enough to be shared among 2 – 3 people. I also loved the fried tofu and the Taiwanese chicken roll. All the dishes were so flavorful.
My friend told me the beef noodle soup would change my life, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The handcut noodles are fantastic and the broth was just spicy enough without being overwhelming. All the portion sizes were very reasonable for the price.
The place does fill up quickly and gets very busy at night. Service was not so good — we got ONE cup of water for a table of six and they forgot to bring us numerous items that we had ordered. The people are friendly enough, just not really attentive.
If I lived in Dallas, this would be a staple in my frequented restaurants.

This place has some pretty good food. We enjoyed the Spicy Beef Noodles (noodles were much better than the Monkey King Noodle in Deep Ellum)
Their fried pork chop is enormous and tasty. We also enjoyed the fried tofu and other appetizers. It is cash only and the prices are higher than other places. However, the portions and tastes more than makes up for it.
The staff is friendly and are more than happy to explain certain dishes to you.

Food (⁴⁄₅)
This past weekend was my first time visiting the new location for Taipei Station, and boy was I glad to know that the tomato beef noodle soup has not changed in flavor. Noodles were still the homemade, dao xiao style («knife cut»), which lends it a thick, chewy texture. Four decent sized pieces of beef were tender and full of flavor. The tomato broth was also delicious without feeling too heavy. But oh my gosh… the price is not right! Since the move, the price has gone up almost 25% from $ 9 to $ 11, which is extremely steep for a bowl of noodles. Regretfully, this place is the closest thing to Taiwanese eats without me having to pay $$$$ to fly there, so I’m probably going to keep throwing my money at that tomato beef noodle soup.
A new item I tried this time around was the gua bao. Imagine it like a Taiwanese version of a soft taco. Replace the tortilla with a soft, fluffy bao, and replace normal taco fillings with a generous amount of thick and juicy pork belly, Chinese version of sauerkraut (suan cai — literally meaning «sour vegetables»), a sweet peanut-​based sauce, and cilantro for days. At $ 7, this item was a lot more reasonably priced given the quality of the ingredients and the size of the bao, but I think I still prefer the noodles more (I’m a sucker for chewy noodles).
Service (³⁄₅)
A new thing with the location move has been the addition of wait staff. Previously, it was just the old man and one cook in the back. Now, there’s like an army of 4 waitresses on a Saturday lunch hour. They can speak both Mandarin and English, so ordering should be a piece of cake. Nothing too memorable with the service though. Upon seating, the waitress will bring you an ordering sheet, and you can mark your orders down. She takes it back to the kitchen, and she brings the food back out.
Another difference with the move has been the business owner’s decision to no longer accept credit cards, which is a complete bummer. It is now a cash only establishment, so be sure to withdraw some money before coming here.
One markedly noticeable improvement, however, is their speed in bringing out the food. Historically, Taipei Station Café used to take its sweet time in bringing out food (60 – 90 minutes), but I think the old man got it down! On a busy Saturday lunch hour, my boyfriend and I only waited 10 minutes for our order, so that was the most pleasant surprise. However, this should have been the expected standard from the beginning, which is why I leave service at 3 stars.
Atmosphere (⁴⁄₅)
I think the price increase in the tomato beef noodle soup went towards the rent for this place because this is a HUGE upgrade from the previous location. Much more table seating now — at least 8 tables capable of seating 4 people each from what I can tell. And the décor! Granite countertops and an equally beautiful granite backsplash on the wall behind the main counter.
When I visited, the majority of the customers were Chinese and speaking Mandarin the whole time, which should lend some credibility to the authenticity of the food here.
Bottom Line
Same delicious food I came to love when they first opened, and now they’ve drastically reduced the wait times in receiving food and greatly improved the décor of the place. My biggest gripe is the price increase. For authentic Chinese cuisine standards, it’s pretty pricey, but it beats the cost of flying out to Taiwan so I will probably be back to get my beef noodle soup fix.

Fear not, fellow Unilocalers– since their move to the new, bigger location, there isn’t really much of a wait anymore. And the waiters speak English. The menu consists of a bunch of rice dishes (pork chop, pork belly, etc.), but the Tomato Beef Noodle Soup and Gua Bao are two dishes that make this place stand out. I think everyone will enjoy them!
Their tomato beef noodle soup is da bomb diggity– tomato based, savory, and slightly sweet, with chewy handmade noodles to boot! It’s different and way tastier than your normal beef noodle soup. Get it with melt-​in-​your-​mouth tendon if you’re a fan: D
Gua Bao = steamed bun stuffed with tender pork, sweetened pickled veggies, cilantro, and some crazy good peanut-​based sauce. It’s sweet, it’s savory, and a little bit sour, but hey, it works. And it works like magic :) each Gua Bao comes with a knife for sharing, because it’s massive~
We also ordered the Milkfish Soup, since it’s seldom seen on menus around here. It tasted like light ginger + winter melon soup with tofu and strips of fish (some with fish bones). It was nice to try but definitely not worth $ 7.50. Unless you’re on a diet, skip this. (It doesn’t come with rice or noodles, by the way!)
Another to skip is the potstickers. The Pork and Shrimp Potstickers are definitely homemade, standard tasting, and come with a delish spicy dipping sauce, but. Way. Too. Oily. D:
Yeah, it’s a little on the pricey side of Chinese /​Taiwanese food (the tomato beef noodle soup runs around $ 12), but I’ll definitely be back. Try the Tomato Beef Noodle Soup and Gua Bao ^^!

I gave this place 5 stars based on the food and not taking into account the wait. For some reason, there has always has been a wait since their old location. Don’t eat here if you are starving and are in a hurry. We actually were lucky this time and got there right at 5, when they are open back up for dinner although their sign says 4:30, so there were about 6 – 8 other tables already filled, but we got our food in about 30 – 45 mins.
This new location is bigger and they had more servers, which can actually speak english this time. But not sure if they got more chefs. We got the tongue/​tripe/​tendon in chili sauce, it’s one of our fave app dish there. Very said they ran out of their fried taro cake and one of my fave app there. Our spicy beef and tendon noodle soup came out hot, which is how I like my soups. The broth had a lot of flavor and the noodles seem to have gotten better, not as hard like previous times. The texture is soft and right amount of chewiness. We also got the braised chicken for our kids and that dish was also very tasty. Since it was on a Saturday, we also got their pork belly bun! Still just as good! The pork belly is so tender and love all the concoction between the soft bun.
And the finale that earned them their 5 stars was their mango snowflake shaved ice! It’s new to their menu and my daughter saw them making it for another table so she wanted some. I’m so glad she asked for some! The shave ice was so flaky and light but dense and creamy when it melts in your mouth. They also added some mini macaroon shells to it, it wasn’t the greatest macaroons but a cute addition. My husband thinks it’s the best snowflake shaved ice he’s had and I would have to agree with him esp since he’s not a sweets person. And we’ve had big bowl shaved ice and sweet mix before. It was $ 7.50 but well worth it because they give you a lot!

I was pretty excited to try Taipei Station Café after all the hype we’d heard about it, especially since the food of my people always calls out to me. Unfortunately, there must have been a bad signal somewhere because the call definitely got dropped somewhere along the way.
Upon entering, the server mentioned something about an hour’s wait (my Mandarin is embarrassingly mediocre), but it didn’t seem like the restaurant was full, so we decided to stay. After being immediately seated and given the menu, we realized that she meant the hot food takes an hour (or more) to come out.
All I have to say, if they warn you about the wait, that’s not necessarily something you can ding them on. We decided to stay, so that’s what we got — an hour’s wait from the time we turned in our order sheet to the time the first dish hit the table. It’s still a mystery to me why it takes so long for the food to come out. I know there’s only one chef, but really? The soup for the noodles should already be done, and since it’s fresh noodles, they should take a heart beat to cook. During our hour’s wait, we witnessed single plate after single plate come out. We also witnessed an angry woman storm out, presumably because she was hangry — that made for a pretty awkward situation, especially after their playlist of classical music crescendoed to a finish and left the restaurant in quiet.
The food itself was great. The fried taro was delicious and hot — just out of the fryer since they apparently can’t multitask in the kitchen. The beef noodle soup was good, but pretty expensive at $ 10.95 a bowl. There were four pieces of beef inside. The highlight was the noodles — so chewy and obviously handmade. The pork chop rice was a generous portion, as was the dou ban mian (noodles with black bean sauce served with slices of carrots and cucumbers). I was pleased that the dou ban mian was high quality with mainly meat and tofu, versus the slimy sauce that often comes instead.
The food was good, but was it worth that hour’s wait AND the high prices? For the DFW area, possibly — if you are not hungry. But I will note that there are other places to get beef noodle soup that are more reasonably priced and just as tasty. Taipei Station Café does have some menu items that aren’t found in other DFW Taiwanese places, like the Oyster Pancake. While the food is awesome, I most likely will not be returning until their chef figures out a way around the kitchen.
