Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks - Milpitas

I love this place that I consider to be my lucky place because he reminds me of my journey to Taiwan. taste them like the street dinner in taiwan. baked chicken is amazing and the fried mushrooms as well as total service is great. Waiting time is not so long and they also have outside seats.

Crispy chicken with leg thigh and salt pepper mushrooms are popular. Hope their food quality can be consistent cuz I found eggshell from oyster omelette.

Small Taiwan Snack Store. Due to pandemic, no indoor seating. Only two table outdoor. Do order food online so that you could skip the wait. The food is decent. The popcorn chicken is tender, love that.

Tried their famous XXL Crispy Chicken and Fish Balls. I chose the highest spice level, but the chicken was still pretty punchless. Crispiness was average. Taste was average too. Fish balls were good but again only mildly crispy. First and last visit.

Having grown up in Taiwan and loving the night markets, I was super excited to try this shop which wanted to honor and bring the same taste of ShihLin Night Market Food/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 XXL Chicken Thigh with mild spiciness, original flavor, fully cut, and default seasoning. There wasn't much flavoring but just mostly allowing spiciness to determine the flavor. Also, they didn't allow it to rest before serving so the chicken was pretty oily with parts of the fried coating falling off. There was a puddle of oil at the bottom of the bag with all the leftover skin as well. The Crispy Mushroom with default seasoning and hot spiciness was also super oily. Unfortunately, it just tasted of oil with just an undertone of mushroom that we finished less than half the bag. There were a lot of pieces that were just fried coating rather than actual mushroom as well Ambience: N/A to go orders only as it's a tiny shop. However, they do have 2 large tables and one small one to sit out just to the side of the shop Service: N/A- you order online or on the device provided in front of the shop. They'll call your number once it's ready Value for price: 1/5 for the price, I was expecting better flavor and cooking. I had to convince my SO that this can't compare to Taiwan and not to set this as the standard
