Taiwan Cafe

South End & Chinatown


Taiwan Cafe is a few steps off the main drag, so you might not have to wait quite as long for the excellent soup dumplings and other Taiwanese specialties. Regulars rave about the roast beef scallion pancakes. Like most places in Chinatown, the decor is minimal and prices are cheap. Cash only.
