“ For $10 one gets to taste what school or employee cafeterias in China are like! The free soup is 100x better though :) ”
“ I was back on Sunday for lunch and it's great as ever. Best place to have fresh, delicious food without breaking the bank. This time I got an egg scallion pancake and the husband got a three-item-plate with rice. He got the spicy fish, spicy beef and kung pao chicken. We went half and half on our orders and shared. Everything was so good! I loved the spicy beef with the hot peppers. Can't wait to be back again! ”
“ The food is simply amazing! The Za-Jian mien (noodles) are very similar with what I had in childhood (Taiwan) and the noodles is soft and chewy (made by unbleached flour). The shred pork with sauerkraut cabbage comes with the broth that I can tasted the pork bone. Is a hidden gem Taiwanese foods in Plano! ”
“ Your classic, mom and pop, hole in the wall, no frills takeout spot. Tastes super authentic and is very affordable. $10 for a 3 entree plate w rice, can't beat it. I got the tofu and pork blood, spicy wings, and bamboo. Everything was delicious and flavorful! They have a variety of meat, vegetarian, and veggie dishes in the warm display case for you to pick from. Definitely a solid choice for lunch or dinner. They also have some items on the menu and not on the display case, like noodles or drinks, that I'd try next time. Would recommend! ”
“ The food here is amazing, also considering the cost and portion OMG. I've been coming here on a regular basis for a year now. It's my, to go for lunch take out and sometimes when I'm with friends I bring them over to eat at the restaurant. It's a simple setting where food is the main focus! It's like home cooking, authentic and comforting. Thank you for serving delicious food at very affordable price! ”
“ I've been coming to Taiwan Cafe for 20+ years, and although they changed ownership, the food is still excellent. This place has the food portion-to-price ratio anywhere in town, serving cafe-style Taiwanese food that often leaves enough leftovers for a second meal. Taiwan Cafe is cash only, and all the prices are in dollars, with no change. That's a Godsend, as carrying around loose change is a pet peeve of mine. Once you enter, you're presented with an array of choices. I usually opt for their three-entree meal, which gives you white rice and three dishes of your choice. You can either eat in the restaurant, which allows you to take advantage of their daily soup, or takeout, which really packs all the food in. There is no service at this restaurant; you pick your dishes, pay, and then either sit and eat or take your food out. It only gets busy during lunch hours and on the weekends, but otherwise, it is quiet and enjoyable. There is plenty of seating and tables to accommodate large groups. I eat here each time I visit Plano. I like it so much that I will continue to support this small business as long as it's open. ”
“ CASH ONLY!! Our first time and it was so yummy and great! Very hidden gem and mom and pop shop. $10 TEN DOLLARS for three entrees and two scoops of rice! There's also free egg drop soup (self serve), There's many dishes already made that you choose from or you can order from the menu and it's very quick. What we ordered: Scallion pancake Three entree $10 Black pepper pork chop ”
“ Taiwan Cafe is the economic cafeteria type restaurant. They have many Taiwanese comfort food like mom kitchen cooking. There are a lot of customers who come here for affordable food. Basically you can have 3 selection with rice. The soup comes with it. We got the two meat and veggies dish. It is delicious. Overall the order is on counter and brought to the table. Self service. For the price I don't mind a lot of thing. Although the food is not gourmet but great for a meal. ”
“ I've been coming here for over a decade and it has been one of my favorite places ever. So much food for such a good value. So many choices. And everything is always consistently delicious. No frills. Just delicious food. I always get the pick 3 for ten bucks. Plus I always opt for a scallion pancake egg and a Thai tea and it is perfect! ”
“ This is of the best authentic meal you can get for $9 (which used to be $7)! It's simple, you pick 3 entrees and rice, all for 9 BUCKS! Want some boba? Get it for an extra $1.50 with the meal. Make sure to bring cash though! My favorite is spicy fish, green beans, and fried chicken! There are so many options to choose from, so there's something for everyone. The food is authentic and tastes amazing, my Taiwanese boyfriend's family loves them! The owners are friendly and handled COVID-19 so well. I always get to go, but the dine-in tray looks great & even more filling than the togo boxes. There is free soup if you dine in so that's a plus! If you visit during the weekend brunch hours (11-2 PM), then you can order some hot sweet soy milk and you tiao along with other classic Taiwanese breakfast dishes. Even though the prices went up due to inflation, it's still worth it because one combo meal can last you up to 2 meals! Ps; Don't forget to try their shaved ice dessert as well! It's just your typical Taiwanese shaved ice with condensed milk and sugar syrup, but you get to pick 4 different toppings from the list-- all for $7! ”
