Visited around 5:30 PM on a Thursday. The place had a good crowd inside, but I found the outdoor seating with heaters more appealing due to the chilly weather.The order-at-the-counter system was efficient. I went for a variety of dishes: dumplings, the days vegetable special, cheesecake, fried chicken, eggplant noodles, and almond tea.The food quality was impressive. Everything tasted fresh, and dishes marked as spicy had the right kick. The fried chicken was a highlight, especially with its unique, house-fermented vegetable side.What stood out was the front-of-house service - professional, attentive, and genuinely kind, which isnt something you find everywhere.The cheesecake was light and flavorful, a must-try. The fried chicken, juicy and well-seasoned, was another winner. Id happily order both again.The prices are a bit high, and portions are more on the small side, but the overall quality makes it worth a return visit. This might be one of the top Taiwanese restaurants Ive been to.

We came here on a double date and everyone was super impressed! I was so happy with how many vegan options they had, nice selection of beers and drinks, cool desserts. They constantly change their menu so it will always be something new to try! The patio space is so beautiful.

Definitely a meal you will not forget! Tons of vegetarian options that will make your mouth water. Great balance of sweet and spicy. The oyster mushrooms are by far one of the best mushroom dishes I have ever had and the kimchi is amazing. The owners and staff will take moments to talk about the dish or two, that personal touch really make it feel special and you can tell how much they care about their craft. Definitely don’t pass this place up!

Loved this place since they were located inside original pattern brewery in Jack London Square. So delicious everytime. The chef is creative and and talented. Every dish I have here has so much care put into it. I always say to my partner, mark my words its only a matter of time before GTE completely pops off and we will need to wait in long lines to eat here. And we would still wait because we love it that much.

Mediocre and overpriced. Hard pieces of ground pork in the Lu Rou Fan were especially disappointing compared to my experience with the dish in Taiwan (where it costs about USD $2). Spicy noodles had too much vinegar and lacked spice. Also a tiny portion. The grilled bok choy for $7 was really steep for 4 half-pieces, when this much bok choi is $0.50 at a Chinese grocery store.

Ive been here several times, and this is the first time Ive seen eggplant noodle on the menu. This was the best thing I have eaten since coming back from Vietnam. I was going to get it again the next day but its gone from the menu now 😭Edit: its on the menu again and Ive been eating it twice a week OMLThe fried chicken is also so good, juicy and flavorful. I was about to burst but I could not stop eating.

Excellent food. Eggplant was super tasty and not greasy. Love all the attention to details for the food preparation. Took my mom and friend and they both enjoyed the authentic Taiwanese cuisine. Shout out to the friendly staff and head chef for preparing the delicious dishes non-stop.

Came in with super high expectations from all the reviews and was very underwhelmed by the flavors and the food. Service was impeccable but the only thing that had any flavor was the spicy noodles. The minced pork noodle was lacking salt and any real savory aspect. The king oyster mushrooms were extremely chewy and didn’t have enough sauce on them (they also came out 20 minutes after all the other food).The eggplant was ok but could’ve used a little more lasting flavor. My wife was hooked on the chips though and will be taking those to go.

Really liked the Fu-Ru Fried Chicken. Lovely experience dining in the outdoor area. Super friendly and patient staff. Highly recommended if you want to try some authentic Taiwanese food with some delicacy.

I love the patio and the grilled mochi reminded me of toasted marshmallows. Seasonal vegetables was perfect.
