Very quiet but welcoming spot - this is under the radar but totally open for walk-ins. The wheel pies are a great value for money (must eat hot for full experience!) and food court adds lots of bonus options for specialty Taiwanese treats. Easy win for first-timers, is there anyone who would love a gooey, rich, stuffed waffle made to order for ~ $5!? Pictures is the egg/cheese.
Generous filling and taste spot on
They opened a store + mini mart altogether. Custard wheel pie is amazing and they made the filling every day.
The wheel pie is softer and fluffier than one from 99 Ranch market, with a noticeably different texture.

Ordered from Uber eats. Food is not fresh. Ube taro cake has funny smell, cream on top of the tea is sour, went bad already.
I ordered cotton house tea but they gave me Earl grey tea.
Red bean, sesame, taro all very good. Not too sweet.
Food and drinks were both great! Fast on pickup and got a free pie wheel due to one of the things I ordered being out/it being their 1 year anniversary.
The owner was so nice and personally hand delivered as well when I picked up; will definitely be getting again :).

This is in a ghost kitchen shared by a lot of other restaurants so don't expect anywhere to sit or anyone to serve you or anything to look at. It maximizes space efficiency with minimal decor and time efficiency letting you order ahead online and pick up at your convenience.
The wheel pies offered had a lot of untraditional fillings, we went with the only classic one, red bean custard, which was not bad, a bit sweet on the sweet side. The wheel itself was a bit disappointing, it didn't have that exterior crunch and was quite soggy even though we picked the order up as soon as we received the notification. Also, the price was a bit high for how much you get and how little effort is required to make these.

Was excited to see there is 車輪餅 (wheel cake) around the area. Located in a ghost kitchen. We got the black sugar red bean custard one. Not bad, slightly on the sweeter side. Would like it if the pastry was crunchier. They don't offer traditional flavors (pure red bean, custard, taro), which I would prefer. It comes down to around $6 per cake, pricey.

The worst wheel cake I've ever eatenWheel cakes should have a crispy surface, thin skin and plenty of fillings. The classic flavors are creamy red bean and taro.This restaurant has many special flavors, but the flavor is very strong and the skin is thick and soft.I ordered six and waited for 30 minutes before the shop owner called to confirm (I didn’t have any special request)This is a ghost kitchen (you can’t see the actual store). There are a bunch of lockers for you to pick up your food. If you have any questions, you can’t ask anyone.

With crispy skin, plump filling and rich taste, it is a very authentic Taiwanese pancake.
Maybe should consider closing on Monday instead of Sunday
The taste is exactly the same as the one in Taiwan. I admire the craftsmanship of the Taiwanese chef.
Not bad.It’s a ghost kitchen.
