No frills, not fancy, but overall good food near Spa Hyu in City of Industry. Came here after the spa … craving the Dragon Whisker (Dragon Beard) vegetable, a newly discovered favorite I can’t get enough of! I originally discovered Dragon Whisker veggie at Eat Joy Food and had to come to compare the two.

Same ingredients just different because it is served as a hot dish here, while served as a cold dish at Eat Joy Food. While Java Cafe offer greater value, I prefer the cold version… it just had better texture.

However the star of our lunch was the bamboo shoots, YUM!!! The beef rolls were okay, we felt the wrap was too thick. Food and menu photos added for your convenience below.

One of the more authentic Taiwanese restaurant.
A lot of name on the menu are very similar to the Taiwanese type of cuisine. But the flavor is just shy off the original Taiwanese cuisine flavor.
Dear fry stinky tofu is a must try.

Their food used to be good, but not anymore. They raised the price recently and we got a pork chop with almost 98% of fat meat, which tasted so bad. Very disappointing and won’t be back.

This is hands down the best Taiwanese restaurant in town! We are addicted! ❤️

Flavor and potion size is good. Service is okay and aisle is a bit narrow. A bit pricy compare to other Taiwanese restaurants.

Great food. Great staff.

Inside is a bit cramped. The "big table" seems like a Hollywood "gangster/mob" vibe when you first get there, lol.

It was disappointing that boiled chicken was not fresh and the sources were not right either. It used to be a must dish before.

Great authentic Taiwanese foods. Definitely one of the closest to the taste you would get in Taiwanese. Come here for the food and not the service. Not a huge restaurant by any means so I would try to beat the rush. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking to try a taste of Taiwan.

Parking: Parking is usually easy to find, not too much going on in this strip mall

It’s the most speechless beef burrito I’ve ever seen. I regret not reading the reviews first (and pretending to have the wrong meal). It’s not unfair to give you a bad review, right?

authentic and delicious taiwanese

Everything was delicious and tasted close to the real thing.There are vegetables that can only be found in Taiwan, so I want to come again!
