About Hou Jia Kitchen & Bar
βHou jiaβ translates to βdrink and taste β β 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 β 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.
Located at 1070 Arcadia Loop, Kalamazoo, MI 49006, Hou Jia Kitchen & Bar operates as a restaurant serving Kalamazoo in Michigan. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.
This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. 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. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

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. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

What started as a quick trip from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo for a pickup turned into one of the best dining surprises Iβve had in a long time. I ended up at Hou Jia Kitchen, admittedly a bit skeptical at first, given how rare truly great Asian food, especially Taiwanese, can be in West Michigan. But this place completely exceeded expectations. I ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup and the popcorn chicken, and both were outstanding. As a Hong Kong native, I donβt say this lightly, the flavors were spot on and tasted just like home. Rich, comforting, and incredibly authentic. Beyond the food, the experience itself stood out. The owner, Jim, was warm and welcoming, and the entire staff was professional and friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable. This is the kind of place thatβs worth going out of your way for. Iβll absolutely be making the trip back from Grand Rapids again.

My husband and I were extremely blown away by the food and the service. We traveled from out of town, and we will certainly drive back to enjoy the delicious Taiwanese beef noodles, popcorn chicken, and the Miso ramen. The owner, Mr. Jim, went above and beyond to welcome us and to provide us with the best first experience at Hou Jia! I highly recommend!

I love everything about this place! I ordered Taiwanese beef noodles and it tastes authentic just you landed in Taiwan. The atmosphere is amazing having a hot warm noodle soup with the view of snow βοΈ Inside is so so clean. Ive read a review that said hereβs dirty I can say that IT IS NOT AT ALL! Itβs super clean. Highly recommended and Iβll be back here for sure.

A must place to check out. Portions are huge, price is very reasonable. Great ownership and management team in place. The decor is very attractive, it has an industrial nightclub vibe to it.

Excellent food, reasonable price, generous portions. Great atmosphere in the center of WMU campus, serving beer and wine. 3rd location of established local restaurant owner (Hunan Garden). You wonβt be disappointed.
