Everything was amazing, the tea was heavenly. I just wish I knew what kind of tea they use. I fell in love with the toast, and I was so surprised that I couldn’t get it to go — I wanted to take three more with me 😭 Can someone explain why that is?

Get the kaya toast to warm up then get the pork belly bowl and spicy wontons.
If you’re feeling a lil cold get the beef noodles.
The peanut vibe cold noodle is also delicious, huge portion.

Fast, cheap, filling. Ordered the braised pork belly rice, hearty and warm. Ordered another to go, it was perfect-sized for a split meal. My teenage self might have thought the portions lite, but you can order 2 and it’s still affordable. No line during off hours on a weekday. Inside seating for groups of two.

Delicious and comforting, yet fresh flavors with depth. Very reasonable prices. All of the staff were very welcoming, prompt, and helpful. We wish we were hungrier to try everything on the menu, but we tried the spicy wontons, braised pork, milk tea and iced tea and will be craving them for the foreseeable future.

We waited around 30 minutes to get seated. Sadly, we couldn’t try the beef soup noodles since they’re only available after 4 PM, which was disappointing because that was the main reason we came.
However, the HK style French toast totally made up for it crispy, rich, and delicious (10/10). The HK milk tea wasn’t overly sweet, and the braised pork belly was flavorful and well done. Overall, still enjoyed the food we tried!

Lius Cafe is exceptional and after eating here, it is easy to see why it received Michelin recognition for 2025. Every dish was executed at an incredibly high level.
The Hong Kong French toast was easily the best I have ever had. Perfectly fried with a crisp golden exterior and an unbelievably soft interior, the lava custard filling was rich and indulgent without being heavy. Finished with butter, malda salt, brown sugar syrup, it was pure comfort and luxury in one bite.
The spicy wontons were just as impressive, coated in a bold sauce that balanced soy, spice, and sweetness so perfectly that every bite exploded with flavor.
The sesame cold noodle soup was outstanding, with soft chewy noodles, crunchy peanuts, tender shredded chicken, and a deeply nutty sesame sauce that tied everything together beautifully.
The braised pork belly rice was superb and genuinely the best pork belly rice dish I have ever had, with meat that was rich, flavorful, and melt in your mouth tender. To finish, the hot Hong Kong milk tea was strong, aromatic, and perfectly sweet, flawless from start to finish.
I came on a Thursday around 12:30 pm and was seated immediately, and even managed to find street parking nearby. Lius Cafe truly lives up to its reputation and Michelin recognition, and I will absolutely be returning.
This might actually be the best restaurant in LA. I work near by and get take out frequently. Everything is given such care and love. The food is simple but with complex flavors,and for under $10 you get a filling and delicious lunch. Liu’s is a true gem. Go!

BEST Taiwanese meal I’ve ever had. Lovely brothy rice dish with mild but flavorful taste, unlike the usual American overwhelming sensation. Amazing texture for the noodles as well as the tasty soup. Love the spicy dumplings. None of the menu I had were bad, all of them were in fact delicious which makes my next visit here very difficult to choose. Place gets packed rather quickly, and seating is limited. Staff are friendly and more than willing to help. Gets noisy as well.
