This place is a sleeper hit for Taiwanese style beef noodle soup — round cut beef shanks (not cubed or chunked), homemade pickled mustard greens, and homemade chili oil.
Came here while visiting and was blown away given there are other options that look good too.
Probably still relatively unknown or gate kept bc it’s easy to miss and doesn’t look like much.
Get the beef noodle soup and be transported to the beef noodle soup stalls in Taiwan. Like most legit places, they will have their own homemade take on the pickled mustard greens and chili oil.
Seats like 10 people comfortably or maybe 15 people as a squeeze.
Has a bunch of traditional side dishes or take home meals and also frozen dumplings for sale. Saw 6 aunties come in while I ate and buy loads of stuff and bounce bc they know what’s up 👀

My wife buys all her dumplings and wonton here. Great place. Good prices. It's our Costco for northern style food.

Walked in, not greeted, but it's ok. I ask about portions size for me, a big guy. I was looking for lunch specials, but the lady recommended the lunch box bigger. So I got the pork sausage box. With a winter melon juice drink for less than 17 bucks
Parking: Location is not crowded maybe because it was Monday. Parking spots kinda small.

The service attitude is poor, there is no reason to come to this store and suffer.

I feel so lucky to live around the 626 area, there are so many delicious Taiwanese restaurants and Cozy Cafe is definitely one of them. It has been 10 years since I visited Cozy Cafe. Restaurant is now under new owner but the dishes are still very Taiwanese the se and the flavors are much better now! During COVID, many restaurant needs to raise the price to survive, but Cozy Cafe kept the same affordable pricing while the portion is still the same!Once you enter the store, you will see the refrigerator with over 30 side dishes, its hard to try them all at once... Its hard to find a Taiwanese Restaurant that sells so many kind of the side dishes. everyday in a very limited amount, if you wan to get them, make sure you call to reserve before they sold out at noon!I ordered Unagi Bento Box, Pork Chop Bento Box, Smoked Duck, Simmered Pork Shank, Fried Roll. Don't need to mention how delicious the unagi & pork chop is! The side dishes that comes with the bento, minced pork & vegetable is so good to go with the rice! DO NOT MISS the Smoked Duck & Simmered Pork Shank, its super popular & YUMYUM!!!Living in the Chinese district is really a blessing. There are many delicious Taiwanese restaurants nearby, and Da Guo Da is one of them! It has been 10 years since the last time I went to Da Guo Da. I was still a student at that time. Ten years later, Da Guo Da also changed hands to a new owner, but the taste of the table-style hometown remains the same, even better than before! During the epidemic, various restaurants have raised prices one after another, but the price of bento in a large pot is still affordable, and the dishes are rich and generous.There are nearly 30 different kinds of braised side dishes in the freezer for entry. It is not easy to try all of them overnight! It’s rare to find a store that sells such a complete range of braised side dishes. The boss said that each side dish is made fresh and limited on the day. Sometimes it’s sold out before noon in the morning. If you want to eat, you have to call early to make a reservation. Keep.This time I bought eel bento, pork ribs bento, smoked duck, pork feet, and chicken rolls. Let alone how delicious the main dishes in the bento are, the minced meat and sauerkraut as side dishes are already delicious. Really. It's too much to eat! The boss is super Buddha-minded, eel and ribs are thick and big, so the Buddha-hearted shop hopes to continue to operate continuously. The signature pork heel and smoked duck in the store are not covered either. I heard from the boss that these are very popular appetizers! The smoked duck is really delicious, you can't stop eating slice by slice, and the pig's feet are also delicious!-Fried Roll-Smoked Duck-Unagi Bento Box-Pork Chop Bento Box-Simmered Pork Shank
I bought two takeaways, one chicken and one duck. When I got home and opened it carefully, I found that both were full of bones at the corners and corners without a piece of meat. I saw it was full of bones.

Love the Taiwanese cuisines, pretty local flavor. Lots of side dish choices and all tastes very good! Currently not allowing dine in but you can order for take out or pick up in store. Make sure to wear your mask when you get there!

Another local eatery that my family loves to order food from. Their bento boxes are delicious and packed w several food groups; rice, vegetables, stewed egg and main course (stewed pork, my family's favorite/ duck/ chicken). Plus their prices are so reasonable. Try their pig ears, they're REAL pig ears instead of other store bought "pig ears as written on their labels" when pig parts like snouts are mixed in (Eww). Lastly their aloe Vera drinks are good too.
