I dined here on the morning of July 24. The food was horrible. It didn't taste good at all. It was not freshly prepared in the sense that most of the food was precooked. To make things worse, I had stomach flu after eating here.

I love their breakfast rice plates. That Taiwanese sausage hits the spot! And the sweet tofu pudding just brings me back so many good memories from the Philippines.

I could cry...! Taiwanese breakfast this authentic in the US is hard to come by, and impossible to come by in LA city. Was in the area and decided to pick up a you tiao (chinese donut), luo buo gao (turnip cake), bing dou jiang (cold soy milk sweetened), and wonton soup before the 45 min drive home. Was hoping a couple things would hit, but wasn't expecting every single item to be 100% authentic, totally delicious, and so nostalgic of the Taiwanese food I grew up eating and eat in Taiwan!

I would happy do the 45 min drive again just for this – a little taste of Taiwan in SGV. I imagine everything else is just as good, plus there's ample parking in the garage. The Chinese donut was crispy and doughy, turnip cake was soft and tender, soy milk was sweet and smooth, and wonton soup was juicy and umami. Devoured everything!

Nice restaurant with self-serve sauce and water station. I love getting their Taiwanese sausage rice, and there's a 5% discount if you pay with cash!

Radish cake, beef noodle, drinks and chive dumpling were good
Spicy wonton, zhongzhi, chicken nuggets were ok

My friend’s mom got a lot of items via take out for a birthday celebration. The fan tuan was well textured (both soft and hard crunch) although the rice was very chewy and almost a little hard. The green onion pancake was a softer, tender pancake. The beef roll thing was flaky and very good flavor but some of the meat cuts were tough.

Yi Mei Restaurant – San Gabriel, CA
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Picked up breakfast takeout for the family from Yi Mei, and it honestly felt like we were having breakfast back in Taiwan. Everything we ordered was on point.

We got the salty soybean pudding with a Chinese donut, salty rice roll with egg and sour pickle, beef sandwich with sour pickle, Chinese pancake with eggs, and a Taiwanese tamale. My personal favorites were the salty soybean pudding with the donut and the Chinese pancake with eggs. Both were full of flavor and had that comforting, familiar taste we were hoping for.

Their garlic sauce and chili sauce are also worth mentioning. They go with everything and really bring out the best in each dish.

If you’re in the mood for traditional Taiwanese breakfast or just want something warm and satisfying in the morning, Yi Mei is a great option. Fast, flavorful, and full of nostalgia.

HORRIBLE customer service!!! 🤬 The line was extremely long, so we decided we are going to to-go. We waited for 75 MINUTES and all the people waiting in the line already finished eating. We asked the cashier and she kept on saying they were gonna make our order later. She had a really bad attitude. Very rude and horrible service. If we didn't tell her to hurry up, they probably would have made us wait two hours. No apologies or anything! We paided 100 dollars for some cheap-ass meal and waited for 75 mins. The place is loud and small. They also forgot the sauce. I recommend you to eat somewhere else. 👎

A new favorite! Plenty of free parking including handicap accessible parking spots with wide lanes.

I ordered steamed dumplings, green onion pancake with eggs and a Taiwanese tamale which is enough food to feed about two adults for around twenty dollars. It's very reasonable here!

Order when you walk in at the kiosk, then grab some utensils, sauces, napkins and water and take a seat if you want to dine in . You can purchase large packages of frozen Taiwanese dumplings to prepare at home at the front of the restaurant.

The portions were generous, especially the premium protein items. Everything was delicious. My favorite dish was the steamed pork dumplings dipped in black vinegar and soy sauce.

I've been trying to find healthy food for a very inexpensive price which is challenging sometimes and this place is perfect for my budget and diet needs.

Many thanks to the super nice staff members who work here for all their helpful recommendations. I can't wait to come back. Yummy is an understatement. Five stars!
