I came to eat at this restaurant today because I saw Taiwanese fried sweet and spicy food.
It is completely imported from Taiwan and is round and sweet and spicy, cut into strips.
It’s not Korean sweet or spicy, nor Japanese sweet or spicy, it’s exactly the taste I want.
Then I suddenly wanted to eat stinky tofu, so I ordered one too
In the end, the kimchi was a little bit too little for me because I really like kimchi.
I asked the boss if I could add $1-2 and then boss, please help me add more kimchi.
He just gave me a lot of kimchi for free.
Then he gave me two donuts
The boss insists that no MSG is added to the soup or noodle soup base.
It is recommended that people who care about health and wellness can come to the boss’s place to eat beef noodles or Vietnamese pho
The boss makes his own Vietnamese Pho soup base without adding any MSG.
I heard that the salty crispy chicken is also delicious. I will try it next time!
Then I bought another cup of orange green tea
The boss squeezes juice from fresh oranges
I also brew my own green tea.
Delicious! Fresh! Push push!

Hee hee, you deserve to have no customers if you have such a bad attitude. If you don’t want to open a shop, go home. What are you doing here, disgusting people?
Been going here since I was a teen, and I go here as much as I can. food is great (and I’m not biased, my friends say so too). The guy running the place can come off as cold but he’s gotten better. And he reminds me of my dad. If you’re in the area and you haven’t given this place a shot yet, please do.

The front guy should be the owner, and it's like he got into some kind stress and his attitude is terrible, he will give you a mad face if he didn't hear your voice, it's like “huh??what u say?? "The food is so so. Do you have a grudge against your customers?" If a customer who comes once will not come again next time, are you planning to close your business? ?
Awesome place!
Things are a bit salty (based on Taiwanese taste standards)The service attitude is extremely poor, and we are extremely impatient when ordering food (there are no other customers waiting for us to order food)The atmosphere was also bad. It was 94 degrees Fahrenheit during the day. Even though it was evening, it was still very hot. The host refused to turn on the air conditioner and left the door open (there were a lot of mosquitoes in the store, making me scratch while eating).

AMAZING place!lused to work at a Taiwanese restaurant and this place is like BEYOND amazing. Their food is INCREDIBLE! The flavoring is divine, textures are immaculate, and you can tell the chef has curated and crafted his recipes to perfection.Spice levels can be adjusted so it's great for all ages and spice tolerances.His boba is also literally better than sunright tea studios. The tapioca texture is immaculate and drinks are really high quality.The popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup, and golden kimchi are my absolute favorites! The food here surpasses any other popcorn chicken i've had in my entire life! (and i grew up in the San Gabriel Valley eating Taiwanese food weekly).Amazing amazing joint with great calm and welcoming vibes!New! More ways to react to reviews.

Cheap but very bad tastes,terrible food ,never go there again
Love the noodles so much. Butter Garlic noodles and Guba Umami(mild heat) were my favorite. The beef shank was soooo soft. Love it. And the boba was good too,I got the osmanthus oolong milk tea. I saw the price one year ago was $13 before tax, and now is $14.3. Not bad. With the portion and flavor I got, I am happy with it.

Terrible service. The front lady forced me to pay tips when she would not answer our questions about what she would recommend to order because it was our first time. The food was okay, the portions are small for the rice. Beef noodle was not bad but wasn’t spicy enough. We asked for more spicy sauce and they literally rolled their eyes. Then asked what kind of spicy sauce to pair with what food, why does that matter?! We just wanted more spicy sauce. Unbelievable. We’ve never received as bad of a service as this restaurant. Never going back again.
