Taiwanese Restaurants near Azusa, CA

“Great place, great staff members and great food. 👍“

“The dumplings are so good!!“

“One of my top favorite Taiwanese restaurants in Arcadia! Thankfully, they finally switched to plastic containers and proper dishes for dine-in. I love their strawberry milk tea!! Although they don't allow you to add boba, it still tastes amazing.

5 star service too! Quiet area during lunch

P.S. if you let the tomato sauce beef dry noodle soak in the sauce overnight it will change your life. Thank me later“

“This is the Taiwanese style Chinese food. Some dishes are cooked to perfection. Can't really name the dishes though, the waitress recommended them to us. They have several core dishes and must try. I think the price is reasonable. I highly recommended.“

“I been coming here for a year now happy to see dine in is open again, amazing beef noodle soup and I yummy fruit tea. Very worth the price and family own business that has amazing customer service 10/10“

“Love the mango snow. Try it you won't be disappointed.“

“Good amount of parking. Clean interior with plenty of seating. Server, Alicia, was very nice and accommodating. Ordered Popcorn chicken rice with egg, twice cooked pork, and shrimp fried rice. All the dishes were really good and also got a free tofu dish since our order was more than $50. Would come back again!“

“Very happy to eat authentic Taiwanese food!
Bringing the complete taste of Taiwan to LA, the food was very touching~
Ban Niang has a very forthright southern personality?I felt like I was back home for a second
The drumstick rice and salty crispy chicken are both delicious?“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“正宗台灣味～店家也很客氣“

“I always enjoy the Beef Stew Noodle and Popcorn Chicken. The service is also good.“

“My family and I live this place. The food is fresh and delightful. The only thing I would say in a different light is that I wish they had more staff. The service is good however, sometimes it takes a while for your server to cover to you due to understaffed. Other then that this place is one of our faves.“

“Nice and casual spot for breakfast, offering lots of Taiwanese classic foods. The items are simple and made well. Open early so popular for breakfast. You order at the counter or on their website and the food comes out quickly. Staff are friendly and all of the utensils are disposable for quick dining.“

“I love it here, especially for the drinks. Their cocktails are a hidden gem and taste better than those in DTLA. For example, I casually bring up a Green Point with my friend, and the mixologist instantly recognizes and knows how to create it. Will definitely come back for more.“

“服務很好，菜色多，又好吃！“

“If you haven’t tried Taiwanese popcorn chicken before, this is the perfect place to start. Their popcorn chicken is authentic, with a crispy, golden exterior and a juicy, flavorful interior that won’t disappoint. There are also some simple tables and chairs set up inside, providing a space to enjoy your meal. The shop is located inside Secoya Market and sells traditional Taiwanese street food. They also offer Japanese sushi but I haven't had the chance to try it.

Parking: There is plenty of parking outside the Secoya Market.“

“Thank you for providing great customer service.“

“great food, healthy options, good service“

“The food was delicious, portions are very generous with good prices. I had the Mango slushee with boba and it was so tasty. Next time I will definitely try another one of their slushee drinks.“

“Simple Taiwanese lunch bentos, generally $11 each (since March 2024 I believe), cash only. Check the Facebook page for the daily menu. There is one option each for chicken, pork, or fish. Additionally, I believe you can call in ahead of time to order a fried pork chop (no walk-in orders for that). Each bento comes with a small soup. Flavors are on the lighter side; if you prefer stronger flavors, you might not enjoy these bentos.“

“This was extra special day Mama time sweet day! because it was our mama time while the kids were in school—a chance to slow down, catch up with a friend, and enjoy a peaceful meal together. We loved this cute little corner we discovered in Walnut. The space is cozy, clean, and thoughtfully arranged—perfect for relaxing and chatting without feeling rushed.

The owner was incredibly kind, welcoming, and polite. The hospitality really stood out and made us feel at home.
Delicious small bite & beautifully prepared dish! We tried the mini yubu sushi, which were fun, flavorful, and perfectly portioned for sharing.
The donburi bowl with seared salmon was so good—fresh, satisfying, and beautifully balanced. We also enjoyed the sweet shrimp & tobiko combination, which tasted very fresh and light.

Everything felt small enough to sample more, yet still filling and satisfying. Wanted to tried 9 yubu sushi. Owner said stop tried 4!! Too much food for beautiful ladies to handle LoL 😆 it is true. Honestly, we wanted to try even more items, but our stomachs were already full!

Looking Forward to Trying More Next Time😋

There are so many items on the menu we’re excited to come back for—especially the specialized sushi selections and the Chef’s Combo Rice Bowl. This is definitely a place worth returning to when you want thoughtful food, a calm atmosphere, and friendly service.

Such a lovely spot for a casual meet-up, a quiet lunch, or foodie exploring. Just a recommendation bigger tables for people who want to order more food and for bigger group size. The only suggestion I would appreciate so I can bring more friends over. Next time I’ll try different drinks. I thought mine was a little bit sweet. With mango and matcha tea.
Highly recommend — we will absolutely be back!“

“God! It's a touching taste
We came to play from AZ and were recommended by relatives and friends to try it out.
Shacha water spinach and mutton is simply the taste that I miss in my memory
The scallion chicken is super tender, the oyster cakes are also delicious, and the kids love the sausages.
But the shredded ginger intestine is not sour enough, and the intestine is a bit too soft after cooking.
What’s even more touching is that if you spend $30 or more, you’ll get a free Taiwanese beer!
It’s just a quick-service restaurant!
Fast food and great service!“

“I’ve been ordering from Thumbling through Uber Eats for a while but finally came in recently with my partner and I’m so glad we did. The food is incredibly tasty; we didn’t leave a single leftover. The xiaolongbao dumplings are just as juicy and flavorful as the ones from Din Tai Fung, which says a lot. Noodle delicious and garlic string beans are yummy.

It’s great to have an option this good so close by, and at a really solid price point. The tables were full when we arrived, so there was a bit of a wait, but nothing unreasonable. Service wasn’t overly personal, but they did check in on us, kept our water refilled, and the teas came out very quickly.

Overall, it was a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. This place has officially become one of my favorites.

Note: Parking can be very challenging. Definitely avoid parking near the car entrance—you will get stuck.“

“Happy to see that Cowboy Cafe is back!

We came a few minutes after 5 pm on Saturday, right before the dinner rush. They have 2-top, 4-top and 6-top tables and booths, so if you're in a larger group, you'll have to split up your group. We got the second to last open table for 2.

Our order taker was very helpful, urging us to get our order in before the group of 10 gets theirs in. We got the rib eye hot plate ($19.99) and filet mignon hot plate ($24.99), both cooked medium with black pepper sauce and served with spaghetti. The hot plate includes a drink too, so we picked the black tea (opted out of the $1 upgrade). Everything was so good. Our favorite of the two was definitely the filet mignon!

The menu is all by QR code. Parking is plentiful in the large lot.“

“Bought frozen food from here 1st time. Great food. Hope they have more options in frozen items in the future. I will definitely buy more in the future. One suggestion: Vacuum seal bag must be sealed securely especially the soup base. My beef stew soup and chicken noodle bags are leaking 😕. Luckily I have ziplock bag on each item before I put in my freezer. Otherwise my refrigerator will be all wet after I defrost my item in my refrigerator.“

“Love the chops a lot! But the woman server is horrible, she was very angry and taunt us because we didn't order as much as she want. She kept talking loudly about this and showed a long face even we ordered additional food afterwards, which ruined our whole experience. The men owner is good and nice. Hope I won't meet the woman again, maybe she's the owner who knows“

“Unexpectedly good personal shabu shabu here in this little cafe! The portion is very large for the price. It's already cooked and ready to eat. Meat and veggies are very tender and the broth is perfect. I think other dishes are just OK. Kung pao chicken was not very authentic. Tea is quite strong, but also quite impressive about the scent. Boba was less than what I expected from a place known for boba.“

“great taste, comfort food and great service.“

“Ver friendly and helpful staff, service was fast and food was hot. The baked turnip cake and hot soy milk are my favorite, all food on the menu is so delicious. I drive all the way from El Segundo to come eat here, it's that good?Features: Everyone one had masks on, social distancing was well enforced“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“We got the beef & beef tendons& beef tripe with rice noodles mild spicy but honestly I ordered some chili paste to make it more spicy. We also got a side of Inoke mushrooms wrapped in beef were really good and it’s tasted so good if you put them in the broth of the beef soup. We also got the strawberry oolong tea drink and that made the food taste even better. The sweet lady who served us was helpful and nice. She even gave us water as we waited for our food. Seats are limited so first come first serve but dining in was a good experience. In total we spent 57$ for all of that.“

“Been coming here for years, it’s the place you go for that home cooked Taiwanese style meal. It’s simple, never too busy, and the service is quick. Restaurant has a good amount of seating inside and outside.

My only complaint really is that all meals regardless of dine in or take out are served in disposable containers. Parking is easy in the plaza and prices are fair for most of the items

My favorite dish is the red grain pork rice. I dont think I can get this anywhere else. The plate is perfect, with the cabbage, rice, minced pork, and some pickled items. Portions are perfect. I always have extra red grain pork to take home and they’re perfect to throw in an air fryer for a few minutes.

Their noodle dishes are delicious as well, I forgot what it’s called, but the alcoholic chicken soup is that perfect comfort dish on a cold day too.

Popcorn chicken is a good appetizer, crispy with the perfectly fried basil. It has pepper but I do wish there was an option for actual spiciness

One thing we did order and wouldn’t order again from previous visits is the chicken roll. For what you get, the price just isn’t worth it, small portion“

“I recommended to all my friend come enjoy here. very good delelicious Hot Pot great service all servers veri nice and kind“

“價錢合理，可以吃到家鄉味“

“It is a Togo vegan place with delicious bento box at amazing price. My mom who is vegan always asks me to stop by whenever I am visiting her to grab her a bento box. They do take credit card (used to be cash only). They also have a lot of frozen food for sale.“

“I come here for the lunch special ($12.25 with the option of fried fish or friend pork chop, along with tea, rice, and two side dishes as a combo - available 7 days a week!). They have a point system too but lunch special can't get you points. Nice pastries and bakery items with some simple dishes already prepared on the deli counter as well. Many frozen food items but they are all expensive to me, though the quality are good. Kind and helpful staff. But I'm not sure why their grade for health department has gone down to a numeric score of 69 when I visited last Friday. I am a bit worried but didn't see anything that I should be concerned about. Clean restroom, and has some tables and chairs if you want to dine in.“

“The staff is friendly, helpful, and quick. That place is always busy and the staff moves quickly to help each patron.“

“We have heard of this new Taiwanese restaurant for a while. We ordered the crispy chicken cutlet, popcorn chicken and of course the yam balls. Chain store drinks are sometimes questionable but the gentleman recommended their fruit teas, so we ordered one.
The restaurant was clean and airy, the customer service was quite nice. We both liked their crispy chicken cutlet, it's very crunchy, the only downside is the size. The popcorn chicken was meh... There's not much flavor and the crunch was missing. We've tried better popcorn chickens in Taiwan so, our standard is a bit higher?
The yam balls were chewy and delicious. But the portion was really small (for the price). Overall, we will be back for the chicken cutlets as they're quite good and for other items on the menu we haven't tried.“

“One of the few Taiwanese styled Chinese breakfast in town. The green onion cakes 蟹壳黄）is pretty good when it’s warm. We’ve coming up this pace for years and the quality has always been about the same; though the prices have gone up a lot over the last year or so.

Vegetarian options: Most items are meatless, but many items contain eggs.

Parking: Lots of spaces.“

“So glad I found this place in the neighborhood. It's my go-to spot for "I don't want to cook tonight." They offer a good mixture of smaller bites (popcorn chicken, fish balls, fried rice cakes...get these, they're so delicious), and bigger bites (rice bowls with your choice of meat, comes with tea egg, and pickled veggies). There's also a handful of boba tea type drinks, and shaved ice bowls.“

“Good soup and side dishes. Large servings and servers are very nice😁“

“Chicha San Chen has always been one the popular boba place originated from Taiwan a few years ago and the trend / brand was brought to the States. They are known for their high quality tea.

When it first opened in San Gabriel, I was so happy because 626 finally has a known, high quality tea brand that open here. There are many boba shops in the 626 but their drink is just average. If you have been to Asian, especially Taiwan or hong kong, their milk teas/tea depending on the style you like amazes you. The taste and quality of those boba shops can’t compare. Are they bad though? No of course not but you always want crave for the best one right?

This place is one of the best ones. Good tea quality, hot and perfect sweetness boba and other drink refreshers. There are always super long lines regardless of which store it is. Not going to be a big difference here with the wait as you can expect is 9/10 times when you come. Thats the only negative comment I would say about this place and other store locations.

This particular location is small and long lines are expected. Drinks are great just like other stores. I’m happy that the quality of their drinks didn’t just dip after opening a few locations in US. The reason is usually when a popular brand is brought from other countries and after opening different locations, they tend to drop ( service, quality and taste ), not with them though! They stay consistent!

Keep it up CHICHA San Chen!!“

“Had a great dining experience, with friendly service and tasty food - my favorite was the Juicy Pork Dumplings. They had a great texture on the dumpling skin, and super succulent and juicy inside! I also loved that they had hot tea and peanuts ready upon seating. It added a nice touch, as well as the updated interior and spaciousness of the place. The Hot & Sour Soup was also delish!“
