" While I wanted to love this place due to all the rave reviews I read online, I found my experience to be quite mixed. The dumplings were authentic and delightful, but I was disappointed with the noodle soup I chose. It felt a bit bland and lacked depth of flavor. I also noticed the portion sizes didn't match the price point. Service was efficient, but I was hoping for a more welcoming atmosphere. I may return but with more realistic expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to like this place because of some of the reviews I read. The authenticity was undeniable, but the dining experience was marred by poor service. We waited a long time for our orders, and even longer for the bill. Although the food (xiao long bao) was top-notch, I can't overlook the service issues. I hope they improve it in future visits. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place feels like home. Every bite of the food takes me back to Taiwan. I highly recommend their fried pork over rice and the beef tendon soup. It's incredible how comforting and tasty the dishes are. The only downside was the wait during peak hours, but it was worth it for the taste! Will definitely be coming back with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I finally visited A & J Bistro. The food was decent but didn't live up to the hype. The beef noodle soup was okay, but I was expecting more depth of flavor. However, the dumplings were right on point. I would probably come back to try other dishes, but I wasn't blown away. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in the mood for authentic Taiwanese dishes, this is the perfect spot! Every time I dine here, I feel like I'm transported back to Taiwan. Their beef noodle soup is absolutely delicious, and the dumplings are perfectly made. The staff is friendly, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Would highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a fan of Taiwanese cuisine, I was thrilled to hear about A & J Bistro. Finally making it there, I can say I was quite pleased! The braised pork over rice was exceptionally cooked, and the tea was refreshing. The only drawback was a slight wait for seating as it tends to get busy. Still, the food makes up for it. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you want something authentic! " (*Curated Review*)

" Unfortunately, my experience was not quite what I expected. While A & J Bistro came highly recommended, my meals were bland and lacked the authentic flavor I craved. The dumplings were decent, but it wasn’t enough to redeem the overall experience. I hope they can improve and bring back the quality that so many rave about. " (*Curated Review*)
