Taiwan's Uncle

Taiwanese cooking rarely appears on this stretch of Pitkin Avenue. Taiwan's Uncle fills the gap with the kind of casual plates that draw repeat diners from Queens and beyond. The menu leans toward quick bites and comfort food—think braised pork rice, scallion pancakes, and bubble tea—that work equally well for solo lunches or family dinners. Kids are welcome, and the pace suits anyone who wants a meal without ceremony. You’ll find it at 85-06 Pitkin Ave, Ozone Park, NY 11417, where the sidewalks hum with neighborhood routines rather than tourist crowds.

Service stays unhurried whether you stop by at noon or after dark. The same dishes that anchor lunch reappear for dinner, so regulars know exactly what to expect. If you’re mapping the trip, pull up directions before heading out. Call (347) 348-5370 if you’re planning a larger table or just want to confirm the latest closing time. It’s the kind of spot that doesn’t need a sign out front—locals already know where to go.
