My first time at a Taiwanese restaurant. It was delicious. It was open late. I got the minced meat over rice and fries intestines. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. Called ahead and ordered based off photos here and food was ready promptly. To top it off, the lady was friendly and even engaged me in conversation which almost never happens in asian restaurants. Would give 6 stars if I could.

Serving late-night Taiwanese hawker fare, 'Good Shine' has always been a godsend for those nights when I'm feeling peckish for small bites or just something authentic, unpretentious, and just tastes like home.
They serve everything from staples such as "stinky tofu" (deep-fried fermented tofu) to minced pork over rice. The location is small and many order to-go but if you're inclined to eat in, you can park in the lot shared with other businesses in the plaza (notably a laundromat).
Cash only, so come prepared.

Late night place for Taiwanese food. Stinky tofu (deep fried fermented tofu) is pretty good here. Also had the popcorn chicken as well. Cash only!! Small place, only sit 25 people.

Great place to get some authentic Chinese food. If you are a night owl, then this is a perfect place for you because it is open until 1 in the morning. Perks about this place is the food is cheap as the prices per dish are around $8-$10, the portions you get for the price are worth it, and the workers are friendly. However, if you are looking for a sit down place, you might want to call ahead to see if there is any available seating. The maximum capacity is 25 people, but realistically it will only hold about 6 parties (some of which might be a party of 1 or 2). Recommendations for food (so far) are the pork rice burger and the beef stewed noodle soup. For those who are adventurous or like smelly foods, then you should try the stinky tofu (but be warned, you may not want to inhale too deeply because it definitely has a kick to it).

A great place if you want something that tastes like a home cooked meal. Very reminiscent of food made by my grandparents. Most people recommend eating here after a night of drinking.
This place is easy to overlook, not having much of a presence, but it is well worth giving a try.
It is a small place, so sometimes it'll be packed when you arrive. Other than that, sometimes they run out of ingredients for some dishes.
Hours are pretty strange, but it's open past 12, which can be a blessing when you have late night cravings.

There is nothing like some hot comfort food after a night of drinking and partying. And Good Shine is the perfect place as they open until 3am! This is like the chinese version of hodori in k-town.
Portions here are small if you come here for a regular dinner. However, I find them perfect for those coming in for a late night meal to recuperate from the night's mayhem. They have a variety of taiwanese food, from noodles to wontons to stir-fry, and even stinky tofu. Quite a number of tables ordered the stinky tofu when I was there, so I assume it must be good.
The prices are on the pricier side of things if you compare them to other restaurants, given the portions and sizes are smaller than usual. However, when this is the only place around that serves this type of food in the middle of the night, you would find it to worth every penny!
The place is small, and I can imagine it getting really packed. The wall has pictures of their more popular dishes, but the actual menu has a lot more items to offer.
Parking: Small parking lot shared with a laundromat and tofu place.

Mmmm, their pork burger rice and house special dried noodle are amazing. Best of all, they open friggin late, like 2am and 3am on fri/sat. I usually come here for a nice midnight snack. However, they don't open until 6pm. Not sure how a business survives like this, but they're surviving. they also serve some type of fermented tofu (stinky tofu) dish so sometimes the place can really stink, but I'm used to this at a traditional asian mom/pop shop.
