The rice balls are pretty good… overall the food was all pretty good. I think the egg pancakes are average, others are good, cash and take out only!

Cash only, no dine-in. Food is definitely overrated. We ordered fantuan and oyster noodles. The Fantuan was disappointing in that the Taiwanese donut (you tiao) inside is extremely stale and flavor is lacking. As for oyster noodles, whoever made that dish has never had Taiwanese oyster noodles before. It was made with the wrong kind of noodles and broth. It is pretty much a basic noodle soup with slightly thickened broth to which they added oysters. Definitely not the dish a Taiwanese person would expect when ordering though. You can get way better food from other restaurants in this area and SGV.

I've visited this place several times because my husband and I craved Taiwanese food. We don't have a place that serves proper Taiwanese breakfast in DC, so when we visit LA, we try to fit this in when we can. Of course, it's not as good as Taiwan, but it's enough for us to satisfy our Taiwanese breakfast cravings!

food is A+. pretty much the whole menu is great though they are obviously known for the fan tuan. cash/venmo only, so just a heads-up on that. also cannot dine-in after covid, it's pick-up only.i've been dozens of times now over the past few years and the consistency and speed are amazing.

The best Taiwanese breakfast in LA! And I love that they are super vegan friendly and clearly label which foods have nuts. I’m a big fan of the Purple Rice Vegan Fan Tuan. And the soy milk and You Tiao are always a hit!Vegetarian options: I love that the vegan and vegetarian options are clearly labeled.Dietary restrictions: The have a few vegan options here. The purple rice vegan Fan Tuan is amazing!

I bought a leek box and an egg pancake. The leek box also contains vermicelli and the egg pancake is a very solid egg pancake filling.

Not fancy, just delicious and authentic Taiwanese breakfast food-highly recommend the fan tuan (like a sushi roll with sweet shredded meat and fried breadstick inside) and the shiao bing (crispy sesame pastry with thin slices of beef inside w pickles). Don’t forget a soybean drink hot or cold!

I had the Sesame Bread with Egg here, and it was pretty nice! The Hot Sweet Soy Milk was decent, though I didn't really taste much sweetness (even comparing to soy milk I've had in Taipei). That's not too big of a deal; I still liked the soy milk. The steamed Dumplings I got here as also more on the okay side; they seemed a bit dry, but were good enough. I think what prevents me from a 5 is that I ordered the You Tiao, but they didn't give me any (I didn't notice until I got home with my food). Perhaps a simple mistake, though. Overall, I'm open to trying this place again.
THEY ARE CLOSED MARCH 4TH TO MARCH 15TH.
