“Surprisingly good! My picky friend also complimented this place. The veggies were really fresh and the kidney was processed well. Dishes were seasoned perfectly. Not too heavy like a lot of other restaurants. The experience was like dining at a high-end Taiwanese restaurant in Taiwan. Though the dishes were expensive, the price includes sales tax. I will still come back due to the quality and to support the business!“

“Very friendly and quick service. I think it is the best Taiwanese restaurant in Arcadia. The flavor was very good and tasty. It was recommended to me by my Taiwanese friend. So I would recommend this restaurant for everyone. Price is excellent. You can order for takeout.“

“The food is home-style, fresh, and not overly oily or salty. Huge portions with great value—their $9.90 combo meal is a steal, and the Sour Cabbage Fish, Three-Cup Chicken, and Luffa are all delicious. Super clean space and friendly vibe.“

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

“The food is always good from here. I love the dumplings and soup dumplings. They make really good drinks. You order on your phone at the table if you eat inside. I just order mine before I get there to go. Parking lot gets full but if you don’t mind a little walk in a food heaven shopping center.“

“Thank you for providing great customer service.“

“The pork knuckle was amazing—tender, rich, and full of flavor! The soup and sides were delicious, and the portions were generous. Friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!“

“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“

“正宗台灣味～店家也很客氣“

“服務很好，菜色多，又好吃！“

“I recently checked out PARTEA NYC XP - West Covina and it’s honestly such a fun and unique spot—definitely more than just your typical boba place.

The whole vibe is inspired by Taiwanese night markets, and you can really feel it the second you walk in. It’s lively, colorful, and has a cool, almost arcade-like atmosphere with games and claw machines, which makes it a great place to hang out with friends, not just grab a drink.

As for the drinks, they’re solid. I tried one of their fruit teas and it was super refreshing with real fruit inside—perfect balance of flavor and sweetness. They also have a ton of options, from classic milk teas to their whipped specialty drinks, so there’s something for everyone.

The food is a nice bonus too. We ordered popcorn chicken and it was crispy, flavorful, and hit the spot. It’s cool that you can come here for both drinks and actual snacks instead of just boba.

Ordering is done through a kiosk, which makes things quick and efficient, especially when it’s busy.

Overall, if you’re looking for a fun, upbeat place with good drinks, snacks, and a unique experience, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“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.“

“We always like to go to Picnic Time to get their Yubu. It's a small and cute cafe, but the ambiance is welcoming and comfortable. They also have a lot of new items on the menu. We ordered their seared salmon Yubu x 3, one Kimchi Yubu, one Lemon Ponzu Salmon Yubu, and one eel Yubu.
The food was fresh and delicious. The server was friendly.“

“Very friendly staff. I ordered the fried squid. It was huge. She even said it was biggest she ever seen. For $15 it's a bargain. It's made to order. Once you bite into it, you are transported to Taiwan night market!!

Give them a try.
You won't disappoint.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“great taste, comfort food and great service.“

“I was curious about this place, so I walked past it to check out their menu before heading to our fave dim sum spot in Walnut/City Of Industry (All That n Dim Sum). Sadly, they’re closed on Tuesdays. Decided to come back here since they looked busy. At first, there were plenty of seats, but when I went back, only 2 seats way in the back were open. We went with the lunch specials, and honestly, best decision ever. I got Combo D—fried chicken steak and noodle soup, plus preserved veggies. My partner had Combo C—fried pork chop with dry noodles. Both were amazing! I loved the noodle soup, but the dry noodles were just as good. Both are classic Taiwanese comfort foods and the lunch specials also come with tea! Definitely recommend this spot if you’re craving some tasty, hearty dishes!
Ambiance - a small but busy cafe feel!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“Most of so called Taiwanese restaurants are for snack food or street food. It’s so hard to find Taiwanese banquet cuisine, so every time we are in LA, we stop by here. This spot is the closest to the authentic Taiwanese food we can find within in California and Nevada.
Comparing to Cantonese food or Sichuan food, Taiwanese cuisine is on the light and healthy side, not oily or salty.

Below are some must orders:

Kidney and chicken testicle in sesame oil broth. They make the freshest kidney and not overcooked!

Chicken roll. They homemade it on site, super juicy and delicious.

COD with chili paste. Very flavor and really juicy fish.

Eel sticky rice. We added salted duck yolk which enhanced the flavor and presentation.

Intestines. They do not have the authentic vinaigrette flavor but still good.

I have been craving for the slow braised trotter with bamboo (bamboo is actually the highlight of this dish), so I pre-ordered it. It’s a big portion for 10 people.

Taro dessert. Not too sweet and not greasy but just a perfect combo for the dessert.

It’s very spacious inside, nice and clean. Easy and pretty of parking in the lot as well.“

“This place is always delicious. It’s one of the few places that my boyfriend and I stop by to have casual comfy dinner when we visit family in the area.

I always get steak or lamb chop which is cooked perfectly medium rare with little pink so it’s super tender.

My bf got shrimp in the past and said it’s delicious but the salmon was overcooked and just okay.

My mom got chicken, dad got short ribs and there were no complaints. Black pepper sauce was what we usually got and with the noodle it’s good.

Each combo we got also came with a drink as well.

The service was great for us as well, we walked in toward end of service and they told us we had 10 minutes to order before kitchen closes, we asked if it’s okay to stay and eat and they said yes and even joked around making us feel comfortable. Could be be because we spoke mandarin.

Love this local spot and hope it stays. It’s very consistent.“

“First time trying this restaurant we got the yuzu sandwich and spicy chicken sandwich. My yuzu the chicken was only half the sandwich a small tender. Its missing some cheese flavor is good. The spicy chicken sandwich was ok alot of seasoning dry rub. The best was the curly fries super delicious and crispy. I also didn’t appreciate my side of ranch half filled and i paid for it. Drink were good. No customer service self order options. Restrooms could be cleaner. Location is nice.“

“The restaurant was closed for a period of time and appears to have done some partial remodeling. It looks much better now and no longer feels old or run-down like it used to. The dining environment has improved, which makes the overall experience more pleasant. Other than that, everything else seems about the same.“

“They currently have an A inspection rating. (I saw some old comments saying they had a C). I stopped there today for the first time to check if I could get a lunch combo box at that time of day. It was like 3pm though, so they didn't have any. I think she said to call ahead of time and she can prepare it for you, but I'm not totally sure that's what she said. I got a couple vegan mushroom rice wraps instead, and they were really good.“

“Mom wanted some white bread so we stopped by after the shaved ice place next door. They have one of the best Taiwanese pineapple cakes I’ve ever tasted. They are not cloyingly sweet like others. Service behind the counter was efficient. It’s a little bakery-cafe with some tables and chairs for dine in. There are assorted breads, cookies and cakes. We got ours to go.“

“價錢合理，可以吃到家鄉味“

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

“Traditional and original but obviously, aging in all aspects. Definitely, needed a modern transformation from menu to decor, and business model. The Soy Milk is above average while the rest may not be too consistent. Respect for their hard works! Jiayu.

“Very good quality! I really liked the Bubble Volcano. The barista named Odelia, was very respectful, friendly, and super cute. She’s such a hard worker and really puts effort into making sure everything is done right and that customers have a great experience. She was very welcoming, patient, and attentive while taking my order, and you can tell she genuinely cares about providing good service. Her positive attitude made the experience even better. Overall, the drinks are amazing, the service was great, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“I ordered a beef wrap to go. I was looking forward to eat it when I got it. But I was disappointed about the food when I opened it. It's too greasy. The wrap had too much of vinegar in it. The taste of it was so so (some parts were no taste, some parts were to salty and others had strong vinegar taste.) I ate it two nights. I had hard times going number 2 in the morning.“
