Located in the Westport neighborhood, this sit-down Taiwanese street food restaurant has an excellent selection of shareable plates, like bao buns, noodles, and dumplings. Start with the cucumber and wood ear salad and the dan dan noodles, plus one of their excellent cocktails, like the Liquid Chocolate Mochi or Tai-Tea Thyme. The neon signs, geometric wallpaper, and metal chairs all give a nod to this spot’s food market origins. It all makes for a great place to share heaps of noodles with friends before realizing your good outfit is covered in chili oil.
