Cash n' carry is the way to go at this too-cool, too-casual, too-cute cafe.
You better be in the mood for garlic if you order the Hainan Chicken. Go garlic or go home as the thin, pungent sauce engulfs a soft-boiled chicken leg.
Even the rice is garlicky fried, but it's some of the best rice I've had.
No guts, no glory with the garlic, but there are much gentler Taiwanese staples for those who have to return to work and breathe on their boss. They've got pork chops a-plenty, and dishes like the Minced Braised Pork Rice bowl cover all the bases. Chunks of sweet soy pork lend their sauce to the rice, and it only gets better when you mix it all together.
I love Ju Ju Shine. They have something for everyone, and they have all the best qualities attributed with the term family-owned. Whether I'm poring over a take-out pork chop on night shift or getting to know a friend over a tray of rice and soup, Ju Ju Shine makes any moment just a little more special and sweet.
