The food is very salty, may also have MSG. I felt sick after the meal. We spent $40 per person for the lunch, but the service is slow. It is not the authentic Taiwanese food I rememberer.

Authentic Taiwanese cuisine and traditional night market snacks, e.g. Rice Dumplings, Red Tortoise Cake, Herbal Rice Cake, Hakka Sauerkraut and Turnip/Radish Cake, porridge (Porridge) are something you'll never get tired of eating.
The food was just ok. I ordered the Ban Tiao noodles with soup. There are some minced pork inside, typical Taiwanese flair. The taste is on par with the average Taiwanese hole in a wall joint you could find around the bay. Not bad but also nothing special.I also ordered the pork feet which is their specialty dish and literally in their restaurant name. I had high hopes and to be honest I'm quite disappointed if this is their signature. I was expecting a very rich, deep and flavorful braise and a soft, tender, melt in the mouth texture similar to the pork feet dishes you find in Cantonese bbq places. But what I received was very bland. The texture was dry and hard to tear apart. Some of the exterior skin layers were even hard to bite down or tear apart. The only redeeming factor of the pork feet dish is the small side dish of sauce that they provided. It is sweet and sour and tingy, made with minced garlic, ginger and vinegar, it pairs itself perfectly with the greasiness of the pork feet. I probably would not finish the whole dish without the sauce. Overall this left me very disappointed and I'm probably not returning because of their take on this dish.The good news for this restaurant and the reason I gave three stars instead of one is that the price is very reasonable, especially in 2024. I do remember it used to be cheaper and they have raised price in the recent months. But still it is about 20 to 30% cheaper compared to other Taiwanese restaurants and the atmosphere was nice. The interior is clean and the service is welcoming.

Taiwan Cafe has all touches of an authentic family restaurant in Taiwan. It's menus are composed of relatively simple dishes. The flavor and presentation reminds one of family gathering. It's decor is rustic with wood furniture. Services are efficient and polite.

Thickened pork soup hit the spot! Great seasoning and the right texture. 4* for atmosphere because they kept it a bit

Excellent Taiwanese food ??! The food is very authentic. The pork trotters are very delicious and have a very Taiwanese flavor. The restaurant is very clean and tidy. The service attitude is good and warm. The layout is very Taiwanese. Recommended to eat rice cakes, pig trotters, three cups of chicken and oysters. If you can’t finish the noodles, you can take them out

You must eat when you go to California, the stronghold of Chinese people. The location of Wanluan Pig's Knuckle is a bit remote, and it feels like it is surrounded by residential areas. A friend in California recommended this restaurant to have good food, so I took a taxi there. The environment was old but clean, and the service attitude was pretty good. I ordered pork trotter rice, soup dumplings, sausages, and beef with sand tea. They all tasted good. The price is also reasonable.

Most food is good flavor and authentic, some soso flavor but still OK. The issue it the portion for entrees are way too small, and the price is not cheap at all. Also the menu picture is a little misleading, not happy about that.

I have been seeking some good Taiwanese food in the area and I really like this place. Am I familiar with TW food? No... but I depend on my TW friends for their opinion and they have all rated this place to be good. I give it 5 stars because you can't find Pork Hock dishes like this place does in the bay area. Highly recommend that you try it.I'm also sharing the latest full menu for you guys to check out what they serve at what price before going.
Very Tai~wan~ ?
