Hou Jia Kitchen & Bar

“Hou jia” translates to “drink and taste ” — a phrase often heard while immersing in the rich culinary heritage of Taiwan , especially in its vibrant night markets known for small bites and diverse flavors. I wanted to recreate that lively, bustling atmosphere — a space where students and community members can come together and enjoy a menu inspired by the flavors of Taiwanese street food scene. Through this experience, I hope to spark cultural exchange and connection, using food as a way to celebrate and share the heart of my heritage.

Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide.

Kalamazoo is in Michigan, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Kalamazoo follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.
