Taiwanese Restaurants near Hacienda Heights, CA

“We ordered a ton of food, and every dish was seriously yummy! The staff hooked us up with some great recommendations too—the stir-fried beef was super tender, and the chow mein was packed with goodies. Loved it all! The mung bean soup? Perfect for beating the summer！ prices is friendly…“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“奶茶、芋圆、仙草、冰沙、豆腐花“

“I've dined at Golden Leaf a couple of times in the last year. The Taiwanese food is excellent across the entire menu. I only wish there was a location in San Diego where I live. You can really tell that the owner & staff put a lot into making authentic Taiwanese dishes and its really appreciated.“

“One of my wife’s favorite place to get brunch. Reliably fresh, tasty, and good value for the money. I usually order the pork burger combo. Try to come earlier as it starts getting busy after 11 on the weekend. There’s underground parking if the outdoor parking fills up.“

“The staff are nice & the food is good.“

“If you’re craving an authentic bowl of Beef Noodle Soup, this is it. The broth is infused with peppercorns, giving it an incredibly bold, numbing aroma that takes me straight back to those nostalgic Taiwanese military village (Juancun) flavors. It’s rich, punchy, and unlike any other broth in LA!
I love that the Lu Wei (braised delicacies) is served as its own standalone dish. You can really taste the mastery of seasoning in every bite of the beef and tofu.
To round it all out, you have to order the Radish Chicken Soup. It’s crystal clear and carries that perfect, natural sweetness from the daikon. It’s the ultimate palate cleanser after the tingly heat of the beef noodles. Perfectly balanced and so comforting!“

“Tastes, feels, and smells like Formosa. Took relatives here from Taiwan who agree that the food is equal to if not better than many places on the island. Ppl complaining about service and sanitary… this is exactly what an authentic Taiwanese eatery is like. It’s a bit hidden but one of the best esp for stinky tofu, beef noodle, and rice dishes.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“Best popcorn chicken ever👍👍👍“

“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!“

“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.“

“100% recommended, food is delicious“

“Just found this place! OMG the popcorn chicken is one of the best I've ever had! Its amazingly crispy and tasty! And very well portioned! We also ordered the minced meat rice it was a nice portion and very affordable. Definitely coming back soon! Can't wait to try more items“

“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?“

“Solid beef noodle restaurant with a simple menu and great food. The atmosphere is very cozy and you are treated well like family. The food come out very fresh and was super satisfying on a rainy day. Quick, filling, great value, and no frills.“

“真的很满意 我可以反复去吃十次以上的餐馆 只是 营业时间太短了 ，希望店家能加长营业时间“

“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.“

“吃台灣的平民美食，有回家的感覺。“

“we got our rolls within about 5 minutes of ordering and they were great. even cold the roasted duck wrap smacked and are fairly filling. found out about this place through a friend of mine and now recommending it to everyone.

Vegetarian options: there's a veggie wrap“

“正宗台灣味～店家也很客氣“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“服務很好，菜色多，又好吃！“

“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!“

“My cousin specifically likes their $9.99/lb Hog foot (to go cold/warm up at home), and $13+ Taiwanese Bento boxes to-go or dine there. Small shop, not good foe big parties, no restroom. I was told the to-go drinks could be very sweet, so not for me. Hole in the wall, Taiwanese joint. Hog/Pork Feet cold/to-go is a must here!!! Tks to my cousin on this find.

My cousin's fav bento box is $14 Beef Shank and Chicken, and her SO favorite is $14 Salty Duck. She mentioned that Smoked Duck is heard to be good too. She ordered me 2lbs of the Hog Foot dish and it was delicious! It come with sauce, ginger and cilantro which I didn't need but the SO enjoyed. It's a good snack or side to have around.

They sell other side dishes, and frozen dumplings to goodies. Looking forward to coming back to try their bento box there.“

“Thank you for providing great customer service.“

“I Couldn't find a solid review to help me order but its so close to home i took a chance. Saw a Bulgogi beef on the menu which is a familiar Dish to me so i quickly ordered That and decided to sit down. A couple of minutes later, and i have a Nice Healthy bowl of Rice Topped with a heap of BEEF! It was delicious! Thank YOU!“

“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.“

“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!“

“wonderful drinks and great service!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Our first time to try this place. We loved it, really good and reasonably priced!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Bring cash!! Cheap, very casual OG type of Taiwanese dishes. Our friends suggested this place for Taiwanese pork chops $13.95! Hole in the wall/ghetto fab type joint with the owner chiling in the front dining area with a lawn chair and fan haha No restroom. Aycdrink cold water and tea, and hot tea in the front of the cashier area. They don't take credit cards.

The place seems like it could be sticky but tables and chairs were clean. There is ac inside was cool enough for a hot 85F day outside.

Bamboo shoot $7.95 was warm and good.

Popcorn chicken. They ran out of pigs ear. Their popcorn chicken was really good! Not spicy.

Pork Chop Rice $13.95. Comes with rice and veggies. The pork chop was a little dry but the crisp was there. Probably because it's a thinner cut type which is normal perfect then.

All 3 dishes with tax, and 20% dinner tip to be $39ish.“
