" I visited Tai Hoa on a recommendation and was not disappointed! The roast duck was succulent and packed with flavor. A note for future visitors: make sure to have cash ready. The small size of the location gives it a cozy vibe, but it does get crowded. It’s totally worth the effort. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about this place. The roast duck was flavorful, but I was disappointed with the service. The cashier was somewhat rude and didn't seem too keen on helping me select my order. I understand they get busy, but a little courtesy goes a long way. I'll consider giving it another try, hoping for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, Tai Hoa has some of the best BBQ pork I've ever tasted! The portion sizes are hefty and definitely justify the price. I spent a lovely afternoon sampling their roasted meats, and it was an experience I'll treasure. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Asian BBQ flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had another delicious meal at Tai Hoa! The crispy skin on the roast duck was so satisfying. Though the atmosphere is pretty bare-bones, the food makes up for it. It’s one of those places you go for the meal, not the décor. Don’t forget to bring cash! " (*Curated Review*)

" The location of Tai Hoa is a little hard to find, but the hunt is worth it! The BBQ pork is superb and the portion sizes are generous. I had great service on my visit, but bear in mind that there's no credit card. I recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Asian BBQ. " (*Curated Review*)

" The duck was quite good, and the pork had a wonderful char to it as well. Just know that the service can be a bit brusque, and they have a strict cash-only policy. Still, the meals are worth it, especially if you’re hunting for authentic flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing how great Tai Hoa is, I finally got to try it. Honestly, it lived up to the hype! The roast duck was phenomenal; the skin was crunchy and the meat so tender. The only downside was the lack of comfortable seating - it's really just a grab-and-go place. Cash only is a bit of a hassle, but definitely worth the trip. " (*Curated Review*)
