I ordered shrimp lo mein online after seeing the positive reviews, and specifically requested a mild spice level since it was for my young daughter. Unfortunately, the dish arrived extremely hot and spicy—far beyond what could be considered “mild.” Even as someone who regularly eats and enjoys spicy South Asian food, I found it difficult to eat. There were visible red chilies throughout the dish. I called the restaurant to explain the issue, hoping for some understanding or a solution. Instead, I was met with a dismissive and rude response. They told me they couldn’t be expected to know a customer’s spice preference, despite the order clearly being labeled “mild.” When I asked if anything could be done since the food was inedible for us, they simply suggested that next time I should order in person rather than online. Overall, this was a frustrating experience—both in terms of food quality and customer service. I won’t be ordering from here again.

After years of building up a presence with locations inside Giant Supermarkets in the Mechanicsburg area (and one other spot in Carlisle), I see that Taipei Chinese Kitchen has become more ambitious and opened two standalone locations. I haven't visited the other one, but I imagine it should be similar to this new restaurant. The establishment feels like an integral part of the Park West "planned community," right at the entrance off S. Market Street. The menu offers much more than what they serve inside Giant, but the selections are (unfortunately) still limited to the garden variety we see at typical Chinese American takeout joints. Nevertheless, there are quite a few aspects that transcend the stereotypical: the signage appears trendy, and the interior feels current, providing a good vibe. It is absolutely a good idea to consume your takeout orders on premises. One particular dish on the menu did catch my eye: 辣子雞 (Hot & Spicy Chicken, $13). The Chinese name on the menu led me to expect a well-known, authentic Sichuan dish—you know, the kind where one-third of the plate is dry red chili peppers and the chicken chunks are crispy? Well, my inflated hope absolutely popped when I

Great new restaurant. Very clean and well laid out seating. Nice outdoor seating area as well. Ordered online for pickup and order was waiting on the counter when I arrived 20 minutes later. Portions are good size and food was very tasty. Dining area is BYOB. Only negative was they didn’t include any sauces.

This was my second visit to Taipei and, just like the first time, everything I had was simply the best recipe I've ever had for each dish. The coconut chicken was the highlight this time, and I can't praise it enough. It was exactly what you'd want if that dish sounds appealing to you. The chicken fried rice was also exceptional and complimented the coconut chicken very well. The fried wontons were a great appetizer and their dipping sauce was perfect with it. I brought home a large sesame chicken, which I shared with my dad, as well as chicken egg foo young, and the leftover fried wontons and fried rice. Their lo mein, egg rolls and spring rolls which I had last time are also pretty much perfect. I have come to the conclusion that if you want outstanding Chinese (both mainland and Taiwanese) food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere to enjoy it in, then Taipei is the place to find that in the Harrisburg area.
