"The Taiwan Porridge restaurant offers a diverse selection of dishes, ranging from vegetables and tofu to chicken, pork, and fish. The porridge itself has a unique twist, as it carries a subtle sweetness derived from sweet potatoes. The texture resembles that of rice, albeit with a slightly watery consistency.The extensive variety of ingredients allows diners to curate a meal according to their preferences and dietary needs. Whether you're a vegetarian or a meat lover, the restaurant caters to all palates. The freshness of the vegetables, tenderness of the meat, and flavorsome tofu create a delightful culinary experience.However, the sweetness in the porridge may not appeal to everyone, as some diners might prefer a more savory or neutral taste. Additionally, the abundant water content in the porridge might be a departure from traditional expectations. Nonetheless, the restaurant's commitment to offering a wide array of options ensures that there's something for everyone to enjoy."

"Found this place after scrolling through yelp, could not decide between sushi, ramen, or this restaurant. Nonetheless, what got me interested in this establishment was the surprising name, Chicken Meets Rice. Quite attention grabbing. This place is located in a mini food court next to the 99 Ranch Market. The manager, Jonathan, was kind and nice enough to explain and accommodate our requests to our order. What we had ordered: 1 Split Protein Box: Fried Chicken, Tofu,Chicken Fried Rice, Chicken Broth, and Sweet Chili and Teriyaki Sauce. 2 Grilled Chicken Box, Sticky Rice, Veggie Broth, Teriyaki and Sweet Chili Sauce. My friend and I enjoyed every bite of our meals. The concept of chicken and rice issimple, but the flavors were so delicious and flavorful. Super healthy with protein and a medley of vegetables with the rice. The broths were a good palate cleanser and not salty at all. I had not eaten the entire day, so I was superpleased that this was my first meal of the day! Would love to come here again! :"

"My boyfriend and I really enjoy the bentos at this restaurant, and we often order O2 Valley. The #K3 Grilled Taiwanese Sausage is the best I have tried in the area. However, the #H1 Cold Noodle with Sesame Sauce is terrible, and it is outrageous that they charge $16 for it. This is why I am deducting a star from my review."

"I t was our first time in the new location and the dining room does not feel as nice as the last one. We were seated at a table right next to a waiter's station where we had full view of their computer screen and other equipment...not what you expect from a Michelin star restaurant.One of our guests arrived early and waited for minutes in the bar before anyone asked her if she would like to order a drink. Our server was wonderful. Steaksprime rib and Hamachi shots are still fantastic"

"Perhaps, I had too high of an expectation from both the higher Google rating and a few recommendations. As appetizers, we ordered grilled whole calamari and fried chicken. Some of the chicken were slightly undercooked and all the pieces I had has that smell when the chicken is double cooked or less fresh. The grilled calamari was dry, burned, and slightly overlooked, making some pieces hard to chew. The main was Sushi and Sashimi combo. This was more acceptable with larger fish that seemed well prepared. However, it was a bit disappointing that it didn't come with a simple salad (only miso soup)."
