" I had mixed feelings about my experience at Good Shine. While their food bursts with flavor and really showcases traditional Taiwanese cooking, the owner's response to my questioning about the portion size was less than customer-friendly. I appreciated the dishes, but the service experience left something to be desired. I hope they can improve in that area because the food truly is authentic and delicious. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good Shine Kitchen has become my favorite place to grab a bite after work. Their pork rice burger is just limitless on the deliciousness scale! It’s a small restaurant, which makes it feel welcoming and genuine. I've always received quick service from the staff, and they even recognize me now. Although prices feel a bit on the higher side for what you get, the food makes it worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Good Shine Kitchen is a great spot if you're seeking a laid-back dining experience with authentic Taiwanese dishes. I went there late one night and ordered the chicken soup. It was hearty and delicious, perfect comfort food! The owner was a bit chatty, which some may find charming, while others might prefer a faster pace. Overall, a good experience but could work on portion sizes. " (*Curated Review*)

" The stinky tofu here is just amazing! Never thought I’d find such authentic Taiwanese cuisine in this part of LA. The owner even showed me how to enjoy it with the right dipping sauce, which was a nice touch. I went on a Friday night, and the place was packed, but I was still attended to promptly. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone craving Taiwanese food, but be prepared with cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night I decided to venture out for some late-night eats and stumbled upon Good Shine Kitchen. The atmosphere felt cozy, albeit a bit cramped. I ordered the beef noodle soup and it was packed with flavor, but the portion was smaller than I expected for the price. Service was friendly, but I felt a little rushed at the end as they were preparing to close. Overall, I enjoyed my experience but might opt for takeout next time. " (*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*)
