Old Taro - Burgoon

Every time I visit this place, I notice that the service is excellent. The small fried dumplings have soup inside, which kids especially enjoy!

I know this restaurant is well-known for its Taiwanese beef noodle soup, but I personally enjoy the desserts even more. I especially love the black tea mixed with soy milk and the tofu with taro balls! *The tofu dessert is seasonal.

The dishes are quite delicious and full of flavor. I really enjoy the braised delicacies and the cabbage!

Honestly very disappointed in Old Taro. I remember going to their other locations previously, so was excited to try this one out. Got seated right away as there were not that many people in the store. Taiwanese Pickles (Napa Cabbage) The naming conventions of this palce is something else. Either way, felt like the typical garlic flavor didn 't seep through the cabbage which was a bit disappointing. Fried Pork Chop Was not a huge fan of this as the pork wasn 't super tender and the flavors didn 't seep through. Also at first I was a little worried that we didn 't order rice with this, but it turned out to be okay because the pork chop didn 't have a lot of flavor anyways. Stew Beef Combo Noodle Soup I appreciate the different kinds of beef cuts they put in here including the beef itself, tendon, and stomach lining. The broth didn 't particularly stand out to me. I should 've ordered the spicy version of this instead, maybe that will have more flavor.Honestly, pretty disappointed with Old Taro not sure if I will come back again. I think the biggest thing is the overall lack in flavor but ordering three dishes was very filling for two people as the portion sizes were all quite large which is a plus.

Loved everything here! Super authentic and everything was fresh. The beef noodle soup had thick and chewy noodles and the mochi came out warm and soft. The cabbage in pork stew and pork buns were so delicious too. I took the spicy peanuts home and finished them the next day.
