Taiwanese Restaurants near Downey, CA

“Small place. Super friendly staff. Self serve boba. Have 20 different flavors. Some interesting. Some super good. They let you taste test which is awesome. Prices are decent keeping in mind the times now. They have a food menu. Had the spicy shrimp and pork wonton soup. It didn't disappoint. Hit the spot. Will definitely be visiting this place again !“

“Amazing takeout family meal which features the most flavorful and delicious Char Siu Wagyu Short Rib with fluffy bao. All side dishes are well executed and delectable. One of the best staying at home meals I’ve had! Highly recommend it!“

“I absolutely loved this place. Lots of vegan options (which are clearly labeled). We tried so many different items and loved them all. The staff were incredibly friendly and nice and I just loved the whole vibe. The Dan Dan noodles, fried mushroom (forgot the name of the dish), and bok choy dumplings were all amazing. We had a large group with several kids and they were so accommodating and patient. I can’t say enough good things! Updated from previous review on 2026-02-16“

“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.“

“Friendly and hospitable staff, delicious food, fast service.“

“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“

“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!!“

“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 mean… awesome Taiwanese breakfast hands down. No frills, no shills. Try the salty or sweet tofu and get the pancakes with eggs. Decor? Yea, it’s a traditional cozy place so 3 stars. With all the new fancy decors and spots, this place stands out. Feels like I’m back to a more simpler times!“

“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.“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“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). ���“

“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!“

“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“

“It ‘s so Yammy and health food!“

“Delicious 🤤 got three drinks and all amazing. Highly recommend l!“

Authentic, delicious, freshly made each time we visit. Mom loves the real taste, including the bitter melon, pork knuckle, and baby squid.
Yummy and definitely a favorite for a quick eat.“

“This place has a fun atmosphere. Attentive and friendly staff, simple menu. Not expensive. And if its busy dont worey the line moves fast. Very well done Chinese noodle soups with a Taiwanese flavor. and pot stickers in a bao bun? It's a must try. Don't forget the honey green tea too- it will keep you awake.“

“The human touch of a bowl of noodles⋯When I used to work at a newspaper in Mengcheng City, I would go to this Shanghai aunt’s noodle shop with other reporters to dine ?She remembered our preferences and faces after several visits. We didn’t meet for a while after leaving the job. One day we met by chance on the road, and my aunt still remembered me!After chatting for a while and saying goodbye, she said that she wanted to treat her to a meal next time she went to a restaurant. I didn't take it to heart. Until a few days ago, I drove by and wanted to eat their bowl of noodles. When I walked in, she was talking on the phone to take orders. When she saw my eyes widened, she asked me to sit down. Not long after, my dry noodles were served. Plus a red oil snack as a treat.This bowl of noodles is quite special. It is neither fried noodles nor sesame noodles, but fried sesame noodles mixed with two sauces. The menu is called "Strange Flavor Noodles". The taste is quite rich. When eating, you should mix it with raw cucumber. The noodles, sauce and refreshing cucumber naturally form a delicious balance that makes you want to take another bite.Maybe it's so strange. After eating it for the first time, I ordered this bowl of noodles from the store every time I came back. Several times when I walked into the store, my aunt yelled at the kitchen, knowing that this was what I ordered.While eating noodles, we talked about many things, including the decline of the newspaper office, and many people left! There are all new faces now, and the lively scenes before are no longer there. I smiled and said, many old employees should come back to see you, right? She laughed and said that it was true. Every once in a while, old faces come to reminisce, including me who showed up today.When she was leaving after the meal, she waved her hand and said don't give me any money. I said give me a tip! I just left the money on the table and emphasized that I would still come back. Not only was this bowl of noodles the most important thing, the human touch was priceless.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Today at M’s kitchen, I went with the chef’s suggestion of “cold noodles” (which is the meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste, ask for cold noodles). The pronunciation sounds like Tsa Chang lian mein, and while my mandarin is terrible the food was thankfully not. The cold noodles, cucumbers, and pork sauce hit the spot in this warm California afternoon and i couldn’t be more satisfied with both the taste and my full stomach. 10/10 Would eat again. —Recommendations— For those who want a comforting dinning experience, Treat yourself to these delicious dishes: -general tso’s chicken -spicy diced chicken -green onion pancakes -braised string beans -house special beef -braised shrimp -cold meat sauce noodle with soy bean paste —Finger foods for your office/party— For those looking to feed your office finger foods ask for a party tray (I’d get the last 3 since they are more likely “known” by the people you are feeding): -spicy diced chicken -xiao long bao -pan fried dumplings -spring rolls -green onion pancakes When in doubt, do not be afraid to ask Monica the owner for suggestions. I’ve been coming here for the past 3 years and I have always left satisfied.“

“So I was walking down the street and I recognized a familiar smell. I followed it through a parking lot and straight to the door of Quickly. Ah yes, this is the place to go for authentic Taiwanese street finger food. I ordered the fried tofu, though thefe is an array of foods like fish, pork, and fries to choose from. They also offer boba. The food is made quickly (yes, just like the cafe name), wait time is five minutes. The eating area is clean. There is lot and street parking available, but I usually walk. Jun took my order and helped me. He was a very friendly and helpful employee. Give him a raise, he is a knowledgeable employee to have at the front counter.
Highly recommend for finger food and for little snacks. Would come by again.“

“I lived in China for 14 years and this is the most authentic Chinese restaurant I have eaten at in Los Angeles. There is a dish at the restaurant called Pídàn qiézǐ （皮蛋茄子）. It's a preserved egg and eggplant combination. Sounds funky, tastes amazing. Don't expect eggs rolls, rangoons, & fortune cookies, but if you want a taste of central China without the air fare and hassle of getting a visa, go to Chef Fu's. 好吃！“

“By far the best shau mei around SGV in my opinion. LARGE portions, the 4th item is in a separate bowl, the other XM's just stack it in one box. Flavor is delicious if you like heavy flavors.I see pansies here complaining about 'grease', the only fast Chinese food place I know that's not too greasy is Panda Express. Those pansy low reviews can just go there instead.SG Xiao Mei is going to be my #1 around SGV for now. Hard to beat.“

“Foo, listen. When the lady taking your order has bread flour on her shirt you know it is going to be fresh.

My family loved the breakfast. House crepe comes with preserved tofu sauce. Crepe was kinda like roti. Everything handmade. Fair prices EOY 2025. 4 adult 1 kid ~60 bucks.

Wish the menu had photos for us ABCs, but you can see better pics on Yelp.“

“Great food. Great service. It was a perfect dinner on a cold weather“

“Th customer service is awesome. The vibe is really nice, the food is hot, fresh, and it takes only a few minutes to get your food. The drinks are also fantastic cold and delicious. They even have pizza flavored fries. Definitely recommend this to everyone. 😁“
