Yuan Bao - Logan City

My Taiwanese friend brought us to this place, mentioning it's a traditional one. The venue was comfortable and clean. Staff were customer-focussed. Service was fast and efficient. We managed to order 6 dishes: 1. Ma Po Tofu-the best we had ever had so far 2. Stir fried Gailan-bland and a little over cooked 3. Chicken Soup with bitter gourd and pineapple - the soup was tasty but would have more flavour if cooked longer until the chicken was tender and the bitter melons were softened 4. Drunken chicken - nice chilli flavour with great aroma of garlic, ginger and sweet basil 5. Salt and garlic fried prawns - good size prawns and perfectly cooked but not much flavour 6. Taiwan style braised pork knuckle - everyone but not me loved it since I wasn't a fan of skin and fatty meat Gosh so much food and fun. Great companies made dinner tastier!

As a fan of Taiwanese cuisine I would say Yuan Bao is pretty good. The menu is extensive, pretty authentic and reasonably priced. I opted for one of my favourites, Ma Po Tofu and it was good. I'd definitely be back to work my way through the menu.

We also had a coupon deal for Yuan Bao, however it was for bubble tea & a lunch box set. We found everything to be quite acceptable & freshly prepared with beautiful service. The lunch set we had was vegetarian & came with egg, rice spinach & vegetarian meats. I ordered chilli on the side so was nice & spicy. The bubble tea came in enormous glasses & was delicious

Friendly staff. Efficient service. Delicious food in good serve portions. Usually very busy at dinner time, especially on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. So, make sure you arrive early (before 7pm).

If you are after authentic Taiwanese food (and yes there are differences within the 'Chinese' food banner) then you can't go wrong with Yuan Bao. We go there on a regular basis. Staff is friendly. Food is yummy. Only fault is their phone system as I had to call several times to get through, should have an answering machine for call backs. Had trouble finding their menu so I took a copy and hope this is of help to other foodies.  Cheers
