" Good Shine is my late-night treasure! The atmosphere is so cozy, but it's a bit cramped. I absolutely love the minced pork over rice, and the fried chicken is to die for! However, I do find the prices a tad high for the small portions they serve. But hey, it’s hard to find this style of authentic Taiwanese food in Los Angeles, especially one that’s open so late. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I can’t express how satisfied I was with my recent visit to Good Shine Kitchen! The stinky tofu was crispy and had a robust flavor that lingered deliciously. I also tried the Taiwanese popcorn chicken, which was perfectly seasoned. The owner treated us like old friends, which really made the dining experience all the more enjoyable. I wish the portions were a bit bigger, but for the price, I’ll take it! I’ll definitely return for a late-night bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great late-night spot for some authentic Taiwanese flavors! I was impressed by how friendly the staff was, but the portions felt a bit lacking considering the pricing. Nonetheless, I would recommend trying their beef noodles and stinky tofu. The atmosphere is very homey and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you’re looking for a casual place with authentic Taiwanese food, Good Shine Kitchen should be on your radar. The rice dishes are amazing! I went at a busy time, and while the service was a bit slower, it was kind and attentive when I got my food. Just be ready to fork over cash as they don’t take cards—fair warning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can’t believe how authentic the flavors are at Good Shine Kitchen! The pork belly is melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the stinky tofu has the perfect crunch. I always feel warmly welcomed by the owner who's just like a friend. A must-try spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for authentic Taiwanese food, Good Shine has to be the place! I’m a frequent customer and can confidently say their handmade dishes can rival any Taiwanese restaurant's. Whenever I visit, I always get stinky tofu as an appetizer—it just has that right crispy outside and soft inside! Must try it if you haven't. The owner is super friendly, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious but small! The flavors from Good Shine Kitchen remind me of my childhood. Everything tasted so authentic and home-cooked, but the portions were small for the price. Still, I would highly recommend this gem for anyone craving good Taiwanese comfort food. " (*Curated Review*)
