Taiwanese Restaurants in Irvine, CA

“The best pork chop I have ever had! Great atmosphere and kind staffs too I will definitely visit again 👍🏼“

“Ever After Tea Room really impressed us! We tried the beef noodle soup, Thai Basil fried rice, rib eye, and salmon entrées, and each dish was absolutely delicious. The broth in the noodle soup was rich and comforting, the fried rice had bold flavors, and the entrées were perfectly cooked and well-seasoned.

We also treated ourselves to the matcha red bean bingsoo with taro, and wow — it was so light, fluffy, and not too sweet. Exactly what we were craving! The real taro drink was another standout — made with actual taro chunks and red beans. It tasted so fresh and creamy, nothing artificial at all.

The staff was kind and attentive, and the decor is super cute and cozy. It’s also a great study spot with plenty of outlets and comfy seating. Definitely a new favorite for both food and vibes!“

“I often pass by this small shop and have thought countless times about trying the spicy beef noodles. Unfortunately, I always had to wait in line. Today at 1:30 PM, I found an available seat, so I happily sat down and ordered the spicy beef noodles I had been looking forward to, choosing the thick noodles. The first bite took me straight back to Yongkang Street in Taipei—absolutely wonderful!

Kid-friendliness: Yes

“Authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The stinky tofu is very delicious and good served with kimchi. Every dish is made with the authentic Taiwanese taste. The owner is very friendly and nice. We arrived the store around 7:30pm which is the time of closing. But the owner was very friendly and polite asked us to order foods. Highly recommended.“

“Absolutely love Yu’s Garden!

I don’t live nearby, but I’ve visited many times — it’s that good. The food is always delicious, full of flavor, and the prices are incredibly reasonable.
Every time I come in, the staff are warm, genuine, and truly welcoming. once I come by for pickup, they show so much affection toward my dogs
Great food can bring people in once, but it’s kindness and sincerity like this that keep people coming back.

Highly recommend!“

“Reopened beverage and snack restaurant where you can try drinks and choose your favorite toppings. My favorite are 302 vintage milk tea and Boba 4 season tea.

Looking forward to the official open delicious Taiwanese cuisine“

“I genuinely recommend the First Sandwich. We ordered from here multiple times, and they never disappointed us. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. I love the avocado walnut salad; it’s very refreshing. The sandwich is flavorful. The clam chowder bowl is creamy and well balanced. They gave us so much food with reasonable price. The owner is always so kind and attentive. Highly recommend!“

“I ❤️ their boba! I traveled 30 min to go here!“

“I have visited JJ Bakery Irvine over a decade. I love their Traditional Taiwanese breads , pastries and sweets. Here are a few items that I would recommend (in pic order)

1. Egg Tart: I always purchase two egg tarts when I have the chance. But, it got sold out quickly.
2.Taro Pastry: Real taro paste, not too sweet. It is very delicious

3. Custard Bread: One of the traditional Taiwanese breads.
4. Scallion Bread: It is savory. Sometimes, I like savory breakfast.

5. Flan: Flan is located at the refrigerator near the entrance. It is dense instead of watery. I love it.

6. Almond Cookie:Perfect snack while I am watching Netflix.( It won’t last 20 minutes though)“

“Cute space, and service is good. Food portions are GREAT for the price but the flavors are fine honestly. I personally felt like everything was too greasy but I still enjoyed the meal. I got the mixed vegetable chow mein, green onion pancakes, and pork dumplings.“

“Solid Taiwan breakfast fare. I love coming here for salty soybean milk (though I wish they put more goodies inside), mantou, scallion pancakes, egg pancakes, radish cakes, rice rolls wth pork floss, and a variety of Taiwanese buns.

The food quality doesn't come close to what you can get in Taiwan (obviously), but it certainly hits the spot when in the US.

Service can be a bit slow sometimes, and maybe a bit gruff. The restaurant atmosphere is also very basic - like a cafeteria lacking in personality.“

“Inherit Taiwanese taste
It’s not enough to just eat, you have to come here often
Fragrant
Fragrance lingering
One bite after another of chicken, I can’t stop~
Favorite Jiguang Xiangxiang Chicken
Great, great, great~“

“It’s one of my favorite shave ice forever. But we tried Boba Tea this time, a little bit disappointed. It looks like they don’t have enough employees, I had to wait 1 hour and 40mins. However, the tea was not tasty as their shave ice, and the Boba was over cook. My boy loves Boba and always orders double. Unfortunately, he didn’t like their Boba at all.
Still will come, but no more Boba Tea here.“
