Prices are a little bit high but food is great and authentic! Service is also great!

A casual spot known for Taiwanese‑style breakfast and brunch classics — think soy milk, rice rolls, buns, and fried pastries. Many visitors enjoy the traditional flavors and unique breakfast fare, but reviews are mixed overall, with some guests praising the authentic menu and others noting slow service or inconsistent quality.

This is your very typical no frills Taiwanese breakfast experience and you can be it's authentic. We generally order the cold sweet soy milk, the pan fried turnip cake and the salty rice roll whenever we come and it always hits the spot. The pan fried turnip cake is crispy on the outside as it should be, which many places don't get correct. The salty rice roll has a crispy (not soggy!) fried Chinese donut on the inside with some pork floss and it's so good! Lastly, you have to get the soy milk for the meal.

This place has become a staple in our breakfast spot rotation and we'll always be back!

Really $$$. But does scratch a craving for traditional Chinese/Taiwanese style breakfast items. Only can afford it if you have $. A fentuan or rice roll is $7. More expensive than McDonald hamburger.

Longing for experience some taiwanese/chinese breakfast itens, we went to this recommended (by friends) place.
The disappointing feeling started to show up as the food we ordered took more than 40 minutes to come to our table (few places available). The service was chaotic, and the ambience sufferable. The food was ok, but overpriced.
If you have little tme to spend in LA, don´t waste your time, unless you miss terribly taiwanese/chinese breakfast, and would die for it.

This was my second visit, and I will definitely be coming back again. The food is delicious, the service is fast, and the prices are very reasonable.
The Highlights:

• Turnip Cake (Radish Cake): Absolutely delicious! The exterior is perfectly crispy while the inside remains soft.

• Salty Soy Milk: Very authentic with a nice curdled tofu texture. It pairs beautifully with the crispy Youtiao (fried dough stick).

• Green Onion Scallion Bun (Hua Juan): Fantastic texture. The outside is slightly crisp, and the inner layers are soft and fluffy.

• Rice Ball (Fan Tuan): Highly recommended. It has a true, authentic taste of Taiwan.

• Egg Crepe (Dan Bing): Excellent on its own, though it felt a bit heavy when paired with the fried dough stick.

The Drinks:
• Winter Melon Tea: Decent and refreshing.

• Soy Milk: It’s clear and easy to drink, though I personally prefer a thicker, richer consistency (like homemade). That said, it’s still a solid choice.
Overall, it’s a wonderful spot for a satisfying breakfast. I look forward to my next visit!

Why did it become so bad
It was really hard to bite
One is almost $9. I think that’s completely overpriced

One order of plain egg crepe and flaky bun, you are making me wait half an hour? Are you kidding me? It’s not even that busy. 0 star if I could. Disgusting.

Overall, we still enjoy this place. We come for the soy milk, green onion pancakes, the pudding, the pig ears, and a few other items. The English is very limited, but the workers work hard. You do have to wait for a table sometimes.

⭐ 1 Star (deserves 0)

This place truly deserves zero stars. The restaurant says it opens at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, so we went at 6:45 a.m. expecting breakfast. The order taker was rude and impatient, telling us the kitchen staff who prepares the food wasn’t even there yet — and that we’d need to wait 20–30 minutes. If you’re a breakfast restaurant, your staff should be ready when you open!

We left disappointed, but decided to give them another chance on a different morning. Big mistake. The food portions were small, everything was overly salty, and the Chinese pancake was hard as a rock. The hot soy milk had all the sugar sitting at the bottom and wasn’t even mixed properly.

Zero stars if I could — I’ll be taking my business elsewhere.
