Fan Fried Rice Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
My partner and I passed by Fan Fried Rice Bar a couple of times when we were heading back home from Williamsburg. Curious, we found out later that it was a Taiwanese restaurant!
As a Taiwanese American who spent two incredible years studying in Taiwan, I've been craving the authentic flavors of Taiwanese cuisine — which was incredibly hard to find back then. So, when we realized this spot was not only in Brooklyn but also conveniently in Williamsburg, we knew we had to pay a visit.
about Fan Fried Rice Bar
Fan Fried Rice Bar is named after the Chinese word "Fàn 飯," meaning rice.
The restaurant features a logo that resembles a handheld fan, highlighting its cultural roots.
Originally located in Bedstuy since 2018, Fan Fried Rice Bar moved to Williamsburg in 2022.
Now, Fan Fried Rice Bar continues to attract customers with its commitment to authentic Taiwanese flavors.
Paul Chen, a chef from Taiwan, launched this restaurant. He recognized a lack of authentic Taiwanese cuisine in New York.
Inspired by his grandmother's fried rice, Paul aims to share the genuine taste of fried rice — without soy sauce.
