Chef Cho 六合夜市

Chef Cho captures a sense of nostalgia by offering rare Taiwanese night market staples, yet the culinary execution and environment require substantial refinement. While there is an undeniable appreciation for finding these comfort dishes outside of Taiwan, the establishment severely struggles with front-of-house hygiene, as evidenced by a persistent issue with small fruit flies around the dining tables. The menu experiences varying degrees of success across its street food interpretations: Stinky Tofu: This is the most accomplished dish of the meal, delivering a genuinely authentic flavor profile and texture. Oyster Omelet: The execution is passable, though it suffers from a distinct lack of traditional greens. The accompanying sauce feels borrowed from the meatball dish and lacks the nuanced sweetness required to balance the starch. Large Intestine Wrapping Small Intestine: This evokes strong memories but ultimately falls short on texture and authenticity. The sausage lacks familiar traditional flavors, and the sticky rice wrapper is missing its characteristic tightness and density. Changhua Meatball: The spice profile leans heavily on an uncharacteristic blend of traditional Chin

My husband was born in Taiwan. He said, ‘This is very close to home-cooking flavour.’ I found traditional Taiwanese cooking a bit plain, but I gave it 4 stars because it’s very hard to find authentic Taiwanese restaurants that taste this good! We will come back.

Excellent Taiwanese food. When I am craving a home cooked meal that reminds me of my grandma, I order from here! Friendly staff, affordable prices, and fire food 🫰

It’s really traditional Taiwanese food. The grandma works there is really nice. Stinky tofu is really good! Highly recommend! Pork belly is fine too even it doesn’t melt in my mouth. I wish they would have more drinks options.

The food was good, though not amazing. This is an authentic Taiwanese restaurant, and my friend who is Taiwanese said it’s quite good. I personally found the food a bit oily, and while the stinky tofu was flavorful, it was very stinky — true to its name! The service was okay. There weren’t many staff members, so they couldn’t attend to everyone promptly, but they were friendly and polite. The restaurant was quite crowded and a bit loud, which made the atmosphere feel a little overwhelming.
