thoughtfully crafted food
We are a women, queer, and immigrants owned Taiwanese restaurant on a mission to build an inclusive and caring community through food. We have been dedicating ourselves to pairing fine-dining quality, artisanal food with a personable hospitality.
​
In our menu, you will see thoughtful use of seasonal ingredients and specialty Taiwanese imports. Through our focus on technique and process, we strive to elevate both humble family stables and banquet dishes for our guests seeking Taiwanese flavors.
​
After five years of pop-up around the Bay Area, we settled in our new home in Emeryville. Now, we are excited to offer you a daily rotating food and sake pairing menu inspired by the flavors we miss dearly.

Ms. Tung’s cooking is bright, delicate and constantly changing to include dishes like pickled bitter melon and opo squash leaves with sesame paste. “Beef noodle soup, stinky tofu — people know those dishes,” she said. “But in Taiwan, we’re not eating those every single day.”
