Ho-Ja (Shepherd's Bush)

Step into a bustling corner that seamlessly marries the liveliness of a Taiwanese canteen with an unexpectedly well-stocked supermarket. This unique dual nature attracts diners and shoppers alike, offering not just meals but essential Asian groceries in one stop. The menu is packed with an array of Taiwanese street food staples. A key highlight is the authentic beef noodle soup that draws parallels with traditional fare from Taiwan itself. Other offerings include choice favorites like pork belly rice and decadent "fly chicken," perfect for younger patrons as well. Though served in a casual setting where diners order at the counter, the restaurant boasts an inviting and familial atmosphere. While service leans towards the self-serve model, a friendly engagement with staff adds to the experience, enhancing its charm as a cozy spot for indulging in comforting Taiwanese cuisine.
