Contrary to the complaints in the reviews, the service here was actually great. The owner was quick and efficient—when I didn’t have the exact change for the soybean milk, they just waived the small difference—and the rice balls were absolutely delicious!

As someone who has eaten authentic breakfasts in Taiwan, this spot is definitely comparable, if not even better. Their purple rice salty fan tuan and baked sesame bread (or shaobing) with egg are my absolute favorites! So flavorful and homemade, I feel like I am transported back to local breakfast shops in Taipei. The only complaint is that the service is really rude and the environment is a bit run-down. Otherwise, I will still be back for these two items and more!

Probably the best shaobing with scallion egg you will ever find in this country. Better than most of the shaobing in Taiwan, even!

I came here after being recommended by a co-worker. I already don’t remember what the food tasted like, which might be because it’s not that decent compared to what I have back in Asia. You might say this is LA, so how can you compare like that? But this is the truth.
Not so recommended, for the similar food, I would suggest Yi-Mei.

We order a Sweet Whit and 2 Purple Jasmine Fan Tuan and they turn out okay, but a little pricey.

Came in for a meal — turns out it's cash only, no card, no Zelle, and they don’t bother to mention that until it's time to pay. Service with a scowl seems to be their specialty. The food was okay, but if you're into places that disappoint, congratulations — you've found the right spot :)

The food okay, but don't expect any service at all. The cashier had a very bad attitude.

Food was meh and service was worse. Their parking lot was super small and the restaurant was pretty dirty too.
Disgusting service and my rice ball even had a fly in it. I had already taken three bites before I noticed it tightly wrapped on the side, trapped by the saran wrap. When I showed it to the lady behind the counter, she actually refused to refund or replace it. I wish I could give 0-stars.

There's no way you'll find better shaobing in America. I get it with two scallion eggs.

I could give it a 3 because it wasn't wow per se but we just expected a bit more. The food is on point and we aren’t used to how authentic it was nor really experienced a traditional Taiwanese breakfast. Was excited to try thinking we can pick up some traditional regular Chinese breakfast items but realized reading the menu on the glass after walking here from our hotel that the breakfast they offered wasn't what we envisioned it to be. Thinking it would be some Chinese pastries we can take back to the hotel like dantat or buns or even some dimsum items. They didn't have any of that but more a sit down hot meatier and heavier items. So there was another older Chinese lady looking at the menu outside and she too said oh this is Taiwanese kind of breakfast and then walked away. I didn't know what to say to her either lol
Anyways we still wanted to get something especially since the owners saw us staring at the menu for so long and no one was really inside either lol so I ordered soybean milk sweet and hot and a fried dough stick to dip. Got two buns to try and took it to go. The milk wasn't bad not too sweet but it wasn't the best I've had either. I did like the fried dough stick especially when hot and fresh. The other 2 buns were ok too. Flaky not bad. Authentic. Red bean and sesame. Price was ok too.
Would I come back? Not sure. There are so many other places to try. I really loved our hotel next door and how close it was to all these fun shops and eateries. That I will come back to.
If you happen around this area pop into try. The owners seem nice but because I couldn't converse as well as I wanted to it got a tad awkward. It was fun though !

Really enjoyed this spot! Staff was super nice and the food came out quickly. We tried both the sweet and savory hot soy milk — the savory one was definitely more filling, while the sweet one felt more like a warm morning drink (if you're into sipping from a bowl to start the day lol).
We also ordered the pancakes, which were pretty good, and the radish cakes with egg — those were a solid 8/10 in my book. The standout, though, was the sesame bread with egg. That one was a hit, especially with my girlfriend :)
All in all, we'd totally come back and would recommend it to friends too.
