Win Son is an extremely popular Taiwanese inspired restaurant in Brooklyn which I've seen in many food reviews. I went for an early dinner and was able to be seated right away but it is a small restaurant. The menu here is Taiwanese but I would say it's more "Taiwanese inspired" because it is more upscale and not 100% authentic. The first thing to note is how insanely expensive this food is and I wish my server had informed me how big the portions were. The Lu rou fan, big chicken bun, and the beef roll was $85 alone. The lu rou fan was good but nothing outstanding, and I did enjoy the big chicken bun but it should not have been rated #1 chicken sandwich on Beli. It was good but I prefer the chicken to be thicker and the breading was too chewy and not crispy enough. It could've had more flavor as well. The beef roll was good and the quality of the beef was tender but I wouldn't get it again. I personally preferred the drinks over the food and the drinks were amazing! The plant daddy was a refreshing matcha lemon and tequila drink and breakfast of champions was a creamy rum drink with almond and coconut. The breakfast of champions was one of the best cocktails I've had. The food here is good but very overpriced. The portions are big but I would prefer them to be smaller and more shareable with lower prices. I think Win Son is a bit overrated from Beli despite the drinks being so good, but I am definitely going to try Win Son Bakery food sometime since it's a bit more affordable.

Win Son is a small, modern, Taiwanese fusion restaurant that's been getting a lot of buzz in various food blogs, so my husband and I decided to check it out for dinner with a couple of friends. It was pretty packed for a Sunday night, and they only accept reservations for parties of six or more people, but we were able to get seated immediately as a party of four. We shared the scallion pancakes, oyster omelette, chicken wontons, sesame noodles, and xiajangmyun. The dishes were all very tasty, but I would say the oyster omelette was my favorite. The scallion pancakes were pretty standard, as were the wontons (which could've used more flavor in the filling and perhaps less sauce). The sesame noodles were a great consistency and not too sweet, which I appreciated. I didn't really care for the wavy noodles in the xiajangmyun and the lamb tastes very gamey to me, so I would pass on that if I returned. The service was great from the start, and the ambiance is relaxed and comfortable. The prices are steep for the food that you get, but it's trendy Williamsburg, so if that bothers you, come check out some spots in Queens. :)

Usually there is a bit of a wait, but we got lucky that Sun morning and got there right as they opened, so we were the 4th party to get there. Loved the vibe, very chill and relaxed and not too fussy with the decor. Nothing was taller than torso height, so you could see the whole dining room from front to back. We started with pea shoots and sloppy bao. For mains we ordered big chicken & waffles and the hashbrown with egg. Pea shoots were well done, but nothing too interesting. Sloppy bao was indeed sloppy. Glad we tried it, but def wouldn't need to order it again. The filling was fine, but we've had better versions of bao buns before. Chicken and waffles were good and the flavors were interesting. There was def way more chicken to waffle ratio. You get 1 square waffle that is cut diagonally into 2 triangles. The chicken is much larger, but the crispy coating kept separating from the chicken so it was hard to eat even with cutlery. The sauce they served it with was delicious though and def wish it had more of that sauce, which was its redeeming feature. Hashbrown was the star of the show though. Thick and crispy with the runny yolk on top. Def sealed the deal for that meal. Service was impeccable and friendly so def good on that front. A place to be seen and to talk about after going. Would want to try their other dishes, but I think their bakery was better by far.

Good quality but pricey Taiwanese food. Lu Rou fan 7/10 It is nicely seasoned and prepared and only about half the container is rice. $30. Fried eggplant 6/10 Small serving of eggplant, some salt seasoning. $15. If you want takeout you have to use their website and checkout online. It'll take about 10-15 minutes. Saturday late morning still had lots of seating available. The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly.

I visited this location with my SO who had recently went and recommended the place. I enjoyed the food and the service was great we had the marinated cucumbers, the beef rolls and the chicken bun! We shared all the plates bc they are big enough to share. Everything on the table was tasty and flavorful. To drink I had the breakfast of champions which I loved! The plant daddy drink that my SO had was also good. The ambiance was good. It was packed when we came but not overwhelming.

Now I heard about this place from the show Fuck That's Delicious on YouTube so I already had high expectations going into this place. Just a warning, we choose to sit outside so we did not get the full ambiance experience so most of my review is food. But I do say that if you're just here for the food, it is incredible and does not need the ambiance. The menu was spectacular, we had so many dishes from scallion pancake, which had the CRAZIEST dipping sauce I've ever tasted. This chili, soy dipping sauce had my friends and I in a choke hold. We also had its iconic Lu Rao Fan and many more. The flavors were amazing and did not let us down even as a Chinese guy. This is a must try!!!

One of my favourite restaurants in Brooklyn! The Big Chicken Bun is divine!!! Super crispy chicken with an incredible mayo on chinese bolo bun Lu Rou Fan was alright, wouldn't re-order next time. I also recommend the dessert on the mochi donut. I was seated outside this time, but I think it's better to wait for an inside seat if wait is sub 15-20 minutes.

We went on a Sunday lunch, and the wait wasn't too long(about 15 minutes?) I think overall it was good but not something that is on my mind or too crazy. That being said, it was still good and I rather not judge this on taste too much since people prefer different things. We got 3 things: the dumplings, omelette, and the mullet roe noodles. Not sure if it's something I would be craving to come back to but would still want to look to pick up their cookbook.

In this part of Brooklyn that I wouldn't normally frequent 15 years ago, I was astounded to see a much gentrified and flourishing multicultural culinary destinations. Came here to sample an inventive Taiwanese fare with a Michelin Bib recognition. It has a sister bakery that sold excellent pastry options reflecting the diversity of its neighborhood. I enjoyed the vegetarian sesame noodles --
