“We had minced pork on rice, beef noodle soup, Dan Dan noodles, basil eggplant, pork belly bun, shaved ice and dou hua.
Overall, the food is pretty good. With some fine tunes, it can be closer to the yummy level of food in Taiwan, like some red beans in dessert are still hard, Dou Hua is too dry and needs some liquid or shaved ice to go with it, traditional shaved ice is too sweet though I like it much better than Korean style shaved ice, and brown rice is too hard. Service is good. Staff is nice. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. Order at the counter, self service for water, extra bowls and utensils.
We live in the west side, and we will come back to try other stuff on the menu.“

“Totally worth the 70 minute drive. Delicious food and great Taiwanese hospitality. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. Minced Pork (Lu-Rou) Rice, fully loaded delicious stewed pork with egg. Meats are juicy and tender, kinda on the sweet side. Clamshell bun (Gua Bao) comes with tender thick cut pork, a bit on the salty side, but very well cooked. Fatty but not greasy. Thousand layer pancake with egg and basil was crispy and flaky. The basil flavor is a wonderful addition. Scallion bread sandwich was what we expected. Same tender thick cut pork, very happy to eat this. Next time I will probably get the beef, too much pork belly today Wonton soup is very classic, if you like shrimp wontons, you have to try this. We ended the meal with Hakka mochi and Oolong tea, the mochi tasted just like the ones in Taiwan. The tea was fragrant and is just the perfect compliment to the mochi. Overall an amazing meal with warm and friendly people, highly recommend!“

“Waited in the rain for about 40 minutes. Was glad this place didn't dissappoint. Beef Bowl, Dumplings, and Beef Noodles were really good. I got so full I couldn't try the Dan Dan Noodles or Spicy Beef Soup. Not pictures was the shrimp fried rice which was also tasty. Would come back again.“

“I enjoyed this place a lot. It was a little bit hard to find at first, as it is located above the supermarket. The server was very friendly, helping me to find a good vegetarian option. The cold sesame noodles were tasty and refreshing, and the price is not bad ($8.99). The dining area is spacious and comfortable.“

“Best Taiwanese food you have ever eaten! So far, everything is delicious 🤤. I ordered their fried pork chop, and it's so juicy. I enjoy their mustard greens but they are good with pork belly rice. The rice was delicious because the fatty and lean meat was evenly portioned in every bite. I ordered the pork intestine with oyster vermicelli, but I prefer only the oyster because the intestines, to my preference, are a bit plain. The oysters are fresh, and it would be nice if the menu had fried oysters as appetizers 👍. The popcorn chicken wasn't my favorite because it had less basil and was sweet, which was different from the ones I had. But overall, it's good, and I will be coming back.“

“This place is a gem for its beef noodle soup, cold noodles, and the squid side dish. The food is simply amazing! However, the issue is the limited operating hours. The last time I visited at 2:30 PM, they were hesitant but eventually allowed me to dine. Unfortunately, during my recent visit at 2 PM, they were completely out of beef noodle soup and many other items, leading to an early closure. The friendly lady was nice to still let me order the dan dan noodle that had to be cooked and the cold noodles that were readily available. Ended buying a bunch of side dishes too to eat in the parking lot.“

“Incredibly tender with a great presentation sizzling steak. Pick any appetizer to share and the portions are just right to leave room for dessert later.
The wonton chili crisp is smothered with this great chili oil that has a great balance between sweet and spicy. Don't let the color intimidate you.
The oyster pancake is a generous helping of egg, veg, and oysters. Worth the wait since it seemingly is built fresh to order.
Not quite looking to gate keep this place but it has such limited seating and I enjoy being able to walk in and talk to the owner.
If you're looking for some great authentic Taiwanese food and polite hospitality look no further.“

“We stopped by Monja Taiker in Arcadia before heading to Santa Anita Park to watch race horsing. Ordered three combo meals and one beef noodle soup—classic Taiwanese flavors, and the noodle was especially good. Prices were fair.
Only downside: the combo plates are like kids’ trays. A larger plate would make the meal look and feel better.
Will definitely return when we are in this area again.“

“Surprised that there was no in seating availability but stayed for the smell of the food. We got two drinks, popcorn chicken, and bok choy. Chicken was soft not dry and very tasty. Bok chop was simple and steamed to perfection.
Oh my lord. Everything was cooked so well and tasty. Would love to come back here!!“

“I have gotten takeout from here before but actually got to dine in recently when I came here for lunch on a weekday with some coworkers. It was full inside but luckily, a table was leaving so we got our table without a wait.
We ordered the Beef Rolls, Signature Green Onion Bread, Stir Fried Onions and Beef, and some vegetables. It is a small restaurant that is family style so only one server and the food wasn't served that quickly especially since it was full inside. The food was ready around 20 minutes after ordering.
The portions are all decent and looked delicious. The beef rolls were very good, crispy skin and not stingy with the beef inside. The signature green onion bread was also very good, texture is the perfect balance of hard and soft. The only thing was that the vegetables and the stir fried beef was oily. Both tasted good but very oily.
Overall, still a great place to go with friends or family. I recommend the beef rolls. They tasted very authentic.“

“Classic Taiwanese food. They hit me with the Mandarin the minute I stepped inside and I was totally unprepared for that to happen but it was chill.
Service is very fast. The price is not super cheap but it is reasonable. We got 麻辣豆乾 (spicy bean curd), 香腸 (Sinbala sausage), 炸排骨乾麵 (fried pork chop dry noodles), and 扣肉飯 (pork belly rice). The portions are pretty large. The pork chop was dry but crispy, so I have mixed feelings about that one.
They take card if you order more than $30 worth of food. I’d love to come back to try their shaved ice because I hear it’s better than Meet Fresh!“

“This place exceeded my expectations! The spicy boiled fish was flavorful and authentic, with just the right level of heat and tenderness. The fish was very fresh and paired perfectly with rice. The bok choy was cooked just right and balanced the meal nicely, and the fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside without being greasy.
Portions were generous, food came out quickly, and everything tasted freshly made. The restaurant was clean, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a great spot for a casual meal with friends or family. I’ll be coming back!“

“I recently stopped by Good Shine Kitchen Chinese Food to pick up some dumplings and wontons, and I was honestly really impressed with the quality and flavor. You can tell right away that this place focuses on comfort food done the right way, without trying to overcomplicate things.
The dumplings were the highlight for me. The wrappers were thin but sturdy, not overly thick or doughy, and they held together perfectly after cooking. The filling tasted fresh and well-seasoned, with a good balance of meat and texture. They reminded me a lot of homemade dumplings you’d eat with family, especially the kind you freeze and cook whenever you’re craving something warm and satisfying.
The wontons were just as good. The filling was smooth and flavorful, and they cooked evenly without falling apart. Whether you enjoy them in soup or on their own, they’re comforting and simple in the best way. This is the kind of food that feels familiar if you grew up eating Chinese or Taiwanese-style home cooking.
The restaurant itself feels low-key and local, but the food quality is solid and consistent. Portions are generous for the price, and it’s a great spot if you’re looking for authentic-tasting dumplings and wontons without needing a fancy setup.
I’ll definitely be coming back to restock my freezer and try more items from their menu. Highly recommended if you’re in the Monterey Park area and craving real comfort Chinese food.“

“Traditional Taiwanese dishes served in a banquet setting. That’s a first - I have only seen Taiwanese food served in casual restaurants and cafes.
Menu is expansive and every dish we ordered tasted authentic. Best stinky tofu I’ve had outside of Taiwan.“

“Got the pork chop rice, veggie purple rice roll, and milk tea. The rice plate came with pickles, cabbage, and whole braised egg. The meat was flavorful and tender and it good portion size for $12. The milk tea was also very good. The only thing we would not recommend is the rice roll. The chinese donut was tough and not crunchy and overall was very plain with only picked veggies included.“

“If you like eating Taiwanese food, you want to come here. Great tasting food and very reasonable priced. One of the most authentic Taiwanese restaurants in SGV (in my opinion). ���“
“Jayden and the team at Blue Magpie pulled out all the stops for our family Christmas Eve dinner, in the midst of an epic storm. I could not have been more full or happy with all they did for us. This new and absolutely beautiful restaurant on the site of the former/infamous Rod's Grill will not disappoint.“

“Kitty's Cafe is a Taiwanese style eatery in the north side of the SGV. We stopped by to grab a quick snack. This used to be Copycat Cafe as a heads-up for those wondering.When you come inside, you'll notice a retro look as there are things that still are in transition from Copycat. But that doesn't mean that the food itself was solid. We ordered a set of popcorn chicken for the road and after about 10 minutes, we got our bag full of popcorn chicken goodies. The chicken was delicious - not too crispy and super flavorful. Had a slightly sweet flavor and was nice and hot. The only thing that would've helped would have been some sweet and sour sauce.At least on the weekend, there's plenty of parking in front of the restaurant. The owners are super nice. Know they commented to us that they have been having a tougher time during the pandemic with some lost business around town so they could definitely use the help!“

“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 haven’t been back to Los Angeles for eight years. “Rolling Pot” is an element of Los Angeles that remains in my memory. Millet porridge, sweet potato porridge, various side dishes, and biscuits, as well as the World Journal for sale. I’ll check it out next time I go back. Look, I don't know if the two sisters selling rice are still there? I miss the days when I first came to the United States, the days when I struggled for half a day to get three small dishes or five, those who had dinner together, hope everything is ok!“

“Contrary to the complaints in the reviews, the service here was actually great. The owner was quick and efficient—when I didn’t have the exact change for the soybean milk, they just waived the small difference—and the rice balls were absolutely delicious!“
“William was so kind. Some location don’t make it the same like this location. Like i always get the taro slush but its watery but here in this location He even make some customized drinks for the same price. Taro, honeydew slush and Q.Q milk is amazing!! 10/10 would still come back at this location!“

“Cocary is amazing! I’ve been coming here since 91 when they were two blocks north. I love the broth for Shabu Shabu part and love the bbq beef. I always pick a dish of egg dumplings as a nice pairing. Experiment with your food and give yourself a true treat. Love this place“

“Taiwanese person review:
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 👀“

“I ordered takeout- i got the Dan Mein Short Rib with the Baby Bok Choy in extra garlic. As usual it was delicious and fresh- but they are using an app now to order and they really thought about the customer when they made it because you can add or remove any ingredient on every dish and if it's not listed -there is an option to write a note with your request. I know this seems basic- but I have encountered alot of apps that wont let me add or specify how I want it - like if I want it cooked well done or extra toasted.
I liked the option to choose what side or sauce (like their fresh cut ginger or chili oil) and how many I wanted and if I needed plates or utensils.
Overall I had a great experience with the app and they also gave me $6 off my order and $2.50 in dan cash for a $30 order. 20-25% off for first time ordering with app using code WELCOME
Their food speaks for itself, but perks help it taste a little better!!“

“I’ve been on a Taiwanese food binge lately and have been searching everywhere for some good, authentic Taiwanese dishes. This little mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall spot really hit the mark. The food tastes just like what I’d expect from back home or from the night markets in Taiwan.
I tried the stinky tofu (a must-have for any true Taiwanese food lover), the pork chop rice, and a few other dishes—and every bite was delicious, flavorful, and comforting. The portions are generous without being overwhelming, and the seasoning is on point.
The owners are super friendly and welcoming, which makes the dining experience feel even more like you’re visiting family. The restaurant shares a plaza with other shops, so there’s plenty of parking available, which is a big plus.
A couple of tips: it’s best to bring cash, as not everything is set up for cards. Also, they do have a restroom on site, which is always nice for a small place like this.
Overall, this is the kind of spot you want to keep coming back to—and the kind of hidden gem you almost don’t want to share so it stays special. Definitely one of my new go-to Taiwanese comfort food spots!“

“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!“
