This was my first time trying this restaurant & I'm happy I did! I picked up our lunch order & it was ready on time & accurate. The counter service was fast & friendly. They do deliver with a minimum order of $15 & within a three mile radius. Note : they're closed on Mondays. We ordered from the Lunch Special Menu (11am-3pm, not valid on Sundays & Holidays). The portions were big... we had leftovers! Three of us shared two entrees which included Egg Fried Rice & Crab Cheese Wontons. Plus we ordered a side of Lo Mein Noodles. The Sesame Chicken was wonderful, very juicy! The chicken was crispy even with the sauce on top & the sauce was delicious. The Beef Teriyaki was good as well. Although, I would have liked a little more of the teriyaki flavor. In both dishes they added a few vegetables- broccoli with the chicken & baby corn & carrots with the beef. The Lo Mein & rice were tasty too. My favorite part of lunch were the wontons. Adding the crab really made them yummy. This is a great place to go & very reasonably priced!

The restaurant was empty on a Saturday evening which was odd, but we received attentive and friendly service. The interior of the restaurant had ample natural night, was clean and quiet. The fried rice and drunken noodles left much to be desired, rather bland. But besides that all of our food was wonderful. We ordered the Dinner Special for 4 which included 4 soups, 4 egg rolls and 4 full size entrees for $60. There was more than enough food for 4 people; what a steal. We liked the egg fu young, sesame chicken and beef and broccoli.

I'm still so surprised that this place is not more popular. Every time I need an Asian fix I end up choosing Taiwan. We always greeted with a smile and end up leaving with a smile and so satisfied that it's not too greasy and no msg perfectly seasoned. We usually always get lettuce wraps to start and then stay if we can or get takeout. I love how quiet and peaceful it feels and the manifesting zen I get from the beautiful fish tank.

What a delightful newer spot in the area! We went in and were the only ones in the whole place which was a bit concerning at first. But once we saw how many carry out orders they had it made sense. We only interacted with one employee but she was beyond sweet; interacting with our 1 year old and always making sure we had what we needed. She even brought out extra egg drop soup when she realized our LO loved it. I tried the garlic beef since I saw a few others reviewing it and my husband got one of their curries. Huge portions and great pricing; we'll definitely be back!

We came to Tawan tonight just to see the new restaurant as it formerly was Man Wah restaurant. The food was great! Super tasty, fresh and high quality. The wontons and egg rolls were piping hot and with the right amount of crunch to them. The broccoli and Beef was delicious and fresh. The sesame tofu came out like fluffy cubic, crunchy pillows that had a delicious sesame sauce. Service was nice with a very sweet and timely. Ambiance was fantastic as well! I regret to write about this because our seats were epic! There's a large fish tank with large South American Severum and an Arowana. Such beautiful and healthy looking fish. My family will definitely be back! Give good place a look!

Fantastic lunch specials, even on Saturdays! Tawan Asian Cafe recently remodeled the space and opened this restaurant on 44th. It is a great addition to the neighborhood. This is a nicely appointed restaurant with plenty of parking and plenty of indoor seating. I love that they have lunch specials on Saturdays. The Beef with Garlic Sauce was wonderful. The crab wontons were nice and crispy. And, there was plenty of egg fried rice to sop up all the garlic sauce. Their party trays look pretty stellar and are well priced. May be letting them do the cooking for the next party at the house!

Great food at a fair price in a very clean restaurant. Staff is very friendly, attentive and hardworking. The lunch specials are a great deal. I typically get the Kung Pao Chicken, Mongolian Beef or Sesame Chicken. All are consistently very good. Definitely an improvement from the previous restaurant and owners. Highly recommend.
