This is the real deal!. If you want authentic Taiwanese/Chinese food, then this is the place. For those of you who are familiar with Taiwan cuisine–you’ll love this place. They even have danbings on the menu! A gauge for me that this place is the real deal is there are always many Taiwanese patrons eating here. If you are looking for crappy Americanized Panda Express style, then this isn’t the place for you.
What a Ripoff!. The lunch portion is ridiculously small! I ordered the beef and rice, which included only 3 tiny pieces of beef and a small thin layer of rice for about $9(!!). The beef is even lukewarm. Never will I go back there! Fortunately there are other authentic Asian cuisines in the valley.
Scratch-made Taiwanese noodles and dumplings. There’s some serious cooking at Mom’s Kitchen; house-made, high-quality Taiwanese noodles and dumplings. Several of the noodle dishes use house-made noodles. The cold noodles with peanut-sesame sauce (liangmian), and carrot and cucumber shreds was terrific, even when eaten after an hour car ride. The chile paste on the side really added a spark to the dish. Very tender-chewy and refreshing. The Brown Sauce(?) noodles (jiajiangmian) were similar, with fresh hot noodles, carrot and cucumber shreds, bean sprouts, and a hot funky meat sauce. Also very good, though a few drops of chile oil really worked.The skillfully cooked pan-fried dumplings (shengjianbao) and potstickers (guotie) each had that nice lacy starch on the bottom, but the fillings were a bit bland. The soy-vinegar-sesame oil dipping sauce for the potstickers was an absolute home run, though.Good service. Big menu. Looking forward to exploring it further.
Promising Taiwanese menu. We had : green onion pancakes (not quite what I remembered from Taiwan but that was twenty years ago), huge bowl of pork and sauerkraut soup, and noodles with ground pork. Flavors subtle but promising and will come again to investigate further. Probably should have asked the earnest server for suggestions, she later said specials were good but they didn’t routinely translate them. This is not a place for those who expect fried egg rolls and General Tso’s chicken on a Chinese menu. See menu button above for my snapshot of takeout menu. This building appears to have no sign. It looks like a former fast-food place and is on the east side of State, the first building south of the Sugarhouse trolley tracks.
