Nan Bei Ho in Bayside serves up a comforting taste of Taiwanese tradition with a breakfast lineup that’s both simple and satisfying. From Monday to Friday (11AM-3PM) and Saturday-Sunday (9AM-3PM), the spotlight is on the trio of Taiwanese breakfast staples: the Sesame Cake Taiwan Style (烧饼)-a flaky, golden flatbread with a toasty sesame crust, the Deep Fried Cruller (油条)-light, airy dough sticks perfect for dipping, and the Sweet Soybean Milk (甜豆浆小) served warm or chilled. This breakfast set is a nostalgic nod to street-side vendors back in Taiwan.

All day long, the appetizer section delivers shareable bites rooted in Chinese comfort food. The Sesame Pancake (芝麻大饼), available by preorder, offers a chewy and nutty base that’s perfect for tearing and sharing. The Pot Stickers (开口锅贴) come in a generous portion of eight-crispy on the bottom, juicy on the inside. For a lighter option, the Steamed Vegetable Dumplings (花素蒸饺) are delicate and savory, with a soft skin that gives way to a fresh, veggie-packed filling.

Every dish feels thoughtfully prepared, focusing on familiar textures and authentic flavors that remind me of home-style cooking.
