Taiwanese Restaurants near Santa Clara, CA

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“I had such a great experience at Orange Square! The atmosphere is warm, modern, and welcoming — a perfect spot to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done.

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service felt genuinely thoughtful. I especially appreciated the small touches — clean space, good music at the right volume, and the kind smiles from everyone there.“

“I am only rating the popcorn chicken. It’s legit. There’s a wait because it was made fresh and they did provide a warning. It was good. Juicy and for a walk around snack to share between people….it works. I’ll take this snack over the pretzel. However, I can’t provide an opinion on the other items.“

“Food here is quite balance regardless of what you get. For example if you order a bento you get a good healthy portion of the protein, plus rice, plus the remaining half being tasty vegetables like pickles or broccoli or a salad. Price is reasonable too.“

“手工拉面不错，儿童友好，微辣的牛腩面也适合大人，总体不错，五星好评。“

“nice people and good authentic taiwenese food“

“Pleasantly surprised! Great to have an authentic Taiwanese spot nearby, will come again.“

“There are quite a few repetitive hot pot ingredients, it would be nice to have more variety. The overall flavor is fine. However, the extra meat slices I ordered weren’t very impressive, they were just boiled and completely unseasoned. It seems they’re meant to be eaten with the hot pot but it would be better if they were served together with the hot pot instead.“

“Amazing food, so many options, I recommend their popcorn chicken bento, and definitely get their oyster mushroom side. Also, shoutout to the friendly staff!!

I’m always a little conflicted leaving 5 star reviews because I don’t want long lines, but these guys deserve it… Definitely gonna keep coming back“

“My daughter and I love to go to this place for a quick bite after the grocery shopping. The crispy chicken is very tasty and full of flavor at a reasonable price The owners keep the place very clean and neat and they r always friendly. I would highly recommend this place if you’re craving for snacks or a full meal.“

“Mr. Lau's Steak House (劉月鐵板.居酒屋) provides authentic Taiwanese-style steak meal, which left me feeling happy after eating it. The set meal includes black pepper rib eye steak (8 ounces, medium rare), lettuce salad, garlic bread, an egg, and spaghetti. The price is so inexpensive and the meal is so delicious. I definitely will be coming back again and again!“

“We love coming here! One of the best priced Chinese restaurants in the area and the food is 🔥 portion sizes are also great

Highly recommend the chicken wings and their side dishes (lotus root, especially!)

If you’re not a fan of Szechuan mala, some of the dishes are very numbing“

“Tai Kee Wonton is definitely one of my favorite restaurants. The wonton soup is very flavorful and has definitely helped with many hangovers as well.

They serve many delicious Taiwanese dishes, and the staff are always very welcoming and provide great service. We appreciate the variety of foods, as there is something for everyone.

The food is brought out to the table quickly, and we have never had any issues be it dining in, ordering for pickup or delivery.“

“This place is spacious inside. If you come during peak time, there's usually a line. Their food comes quickly, so the wait usually isn't too bad.

The XLB is juicy inside and the dumpling size is bigger than Ding Tai Fung's. I'd say the skin is as thin and comparable to Ding Tai Fung's too. We tried all three kinds: the regular pork ones, pork with crab meat, and the shrimp with loofah squash. They're all good.

The flavor of the three-cup chicken is good, however, too many bones. They chopped the chicken with bones and there were fragmented bone pieces. You'll need to be careful when eating this dish.

Their steamed beef dumplings are good, but a bit on the salty side.

The sliced beef and cucumber roll with green onion pancake is so-so. Only has one thin slice of beef and there's not enough meat inside, compared to other restaurants I tried.

Their fried rice are tasty. We tried a few before and they're all decent. The picture below is the Sakura Shrimp fried rice and it's very flavorful without being too salty.

The steamed sole fish (filet) is surprisingly good. Worth a try if you haven't ordered this before, and no fish bones!

Their scrambled eggs with prawns is good. A lot of prawns and tasty eggs. A good protein dish.

Their sauteed veggies are pretty good too. We tried the sauteed A-choy and bitter melon with garlic. Both dishes are decent.

The boiled tofu with house special sauce is excellent.

If you don't want to wait for long line at Ding Tai Fung, this is the place to come. Of course if you want way better (Americanized) service, go to Ding Tai Fung. This service at this place is like typical authentic Chinese restaurants, don't expect too much.“

“Will come again for sure.“

“We usually eat here and it is very good. The meat are fresh and the soup base is tasty unlike others“

“Solid Taiwanese food in a casual, homey setting. We ordered the clay pot braised tofu (so delicious, with fresh basil), lu rou fan pork rice (yuuuuummy!), pork belly (pretty good), pineapple and winter melon soup (light and refreshing), sizzling black pepper beef (well-flavored but the beef was a bit tendon-y)

Service was kind and efficient, without much pretense. Everything felt quite authentic!“

“Today is our first time trying the food here. We got Taiwanese tempura, basil popcorn chicken and grilled pork chop bento. All the food is yummy. For sure we will go back to try other food. 😋“

“Service is great and food is delicious 🤤“

“I was surprised to see a location outside of a mall or a supermarket. The food itself isn't bad, but the rice bowls are a bit bland all across the board. Great if you want to load up on cheap carbs, but otherwise it's better off being in a food court.“

“Absolute barebones shop with the most addictive purple rice burritos. They are quite sweet but the ratio of ingredients is just right, and not many shops can keep the cruller crunchy on the inside the way they do here. Just order ahead and pick up - there’s nowhere to sit.“

“January 2026:
My family has been asking me to drop by this shop for about a month for Ba-wan (or Mah-wan). They are a large meat dumpling with a whitish-translucent skin, made from a rice flour. It is considered a popular Taiwanese street food and served with a red(-ish) sauce on top.
Pricing is 5.25 each + tax. Each meat dumpling is individually wrapped in plastic wrap, making it simple to purchase however many you want. It will come with a small tub of sauce, so the shop prefers that you purchase the dumplings in sets of 3 or 4. (I have no idea how sauce is presented to you if you order a single dumpling.)

Staff at the shop was pleasant enough. They let me take photos and answered my questions.

I paid cash. I didn't look to see if they take card or alternate payments. I don't think so?

Parking in this shopping center can be absolutely crazy during meal times. Crickets empty at 7pm sometimes. Best to bring a driver and a shopper where the driver just waits to pick up the shopper without needing to locate a parking spot. Takeout is probably best.

I will brave the parking lot to return when the family starts requesting meat dumplings again.“

“Great food but can get busy - they need a bigger place with more workers“

“Juicy Crispy Chicken, plum fries, mushroom and mee USA are the must order for me’“

“This place brings back memories of Taiwan - Great food, reasonable price, friendly and down to earth service. It was busy when we visited, so it felt hectic and rushed. Overall good value

Parking: Parking can be tight during peak time. Need some patience and circle around“

“This is base on Drink. We order Grapefruit Green Tea with 30 percent sugar ( no ice). We said No Pearl, so no charge. It was only 5.50 !!! only 6 dollar with tax. The other bubble tea place charge 7 dollars so this place has cheap drink. The guy did a great job. Most bubble tea place put too much sugar but he hardly put any sugar because we ask for only 30 percent. I think the next level up was 60 percent sugar? I wish they had 40 or 50 percent because I chose 30 percent but it was not sweet enough but he did a Great job because he mixed the Drink with alot of ice, then he strain the Ice out ( like real bartender) so the drink is cold but no ice. So I give him 6 star because he did great job. He was real busy because he had a Big Huge To Go order to fill so he was working very hard to finish the Big To Go order. So we wait patiently for our Drink. My Dad went to Bathroom & by the time he came back the Drink was ready. Im afraid to try the food because we went to South San Jose ( Eastridge) once? and the Shilin there was not good because Oyster soup hardly had oyster in South San Jose & Omelet had no Egg but had Rice cake Omelet which I cannot digest Rice Cake, so base on bad experience in Eastridge or South San Jose, I was afraid to try Omelet here. I might try it once next time if somebody respond and tell me there is some Egg ( and not just Rice Cake) in Omelet, then I will try food once a week. But for now, I will stick to just the cheap & wonderful bubble Tea drinks ( i order with no bubble)“

“The soup is very delicious and traditional. That’s a nice experience when I am homesick during my long term business trip here.“

“Best soup that I experience in my life"“

“Authentic Taiwanese food 🥘 our family just went there and the owner was so friendly. We drove all the way from San Francisco and we can not wait to eat when we go back.“

“有看到紅燒湯冷凍包 可以加入fantun 訂購單以方便訂購嗎？“

“The nightclub next door has people smoking pot. The front door area totally smell of pot.“

“Awesome service great drinks and chill atmosphere 👍🏼“

“This is the best Taiwanese night market food I have ever had. Its also the only Taiwanese night market food I have ever had. And now I want to go to Taiwan and visit the night markets. Everything I have ordered from here has been fantastic. The size and quality of the steak has differed slightly from time to time, but I have never been dissatisfied. The sizzling steak plate is really good. I prefer the pepper sauce to mushroom sauce, but sometimes I get combo.. The corn soup and noodles and egg are always great. They don't have any gluten free options (would be great if they offered a rice noodle) , so my wife can't eat here, but when I am dining solo its sort of my go to now. They are fast and efficient as well. the restaurant itself is small but tidy. I can't recommend this place enough, and looking forward to exploring the menu further.“

“Celebrating Lunar New Year 2026 in style!

Meeting up here with Taiwanese friends for Taiwanese breakfast. They serve this menu on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30.

They offer a wait list that you can join in their Maps listing when they are busy. We got here at 9:30 and it was fairly quiet. We got a table for eight people and everybody parked right in front of the restaurant but by the time I left at 11:00, it was a very full restaurant with people waiting outside.

First thing you should do when you get to your table is to select what you're going to order then go up to the counter and order. If you have a larger group like we did, everybody can go up and order what they would like, the restaurant will split the bill when it's time to pay.

Once you are done ordering you can return to your seats at your table and before you know it, your food will start appearing. It only took about 5 to 10 minutes after the first order was put in for the food to start arriving at our table. Each dish looking better than the previous one!.

The advantage in going with a group is that you get to try out a lot more items. We ordered a bunch of things for the table and everybody got an individual main dish. I would be very hard-pressed to select one item as my favorite but I think the main dish I ordered was really delicious dish and something I had never tried. I will order it again.

Things we ordered that I would 100% recommend: 1 Peppery Kurobuta Charcoal Bao (The charcoal makes it a very interesting color, not quite black but almost.), an order of them comes with two and the bao are quite large. Soft fluffy dough with a good size pork sausage filling. 2 Sloppy Explosion Pancake, VERY sloppy but sooo good. 3 Turnip Cake Fries. These were absolutely delicious. A mashed daikon radish that is formed into nice fat fries that are pan fried in such a way that the exterior forms a crisp crust around the pillowy soft filling. Much better than any potato fries I've ever had. 4 Spicy Red Oil Mini Wontons with Youtiao. The wontons are filled with a shrimp mixture and then served in a bowl floating in the red chili oil sauce. Eaten by themselves, the red chili oil wontons are spicy. That's where the Youtiao comes in. This is also commonly called a Chinese donut. They are donut like in that the dough is fried in a bar shape. That's where the similarity ends. These are not sweet at all. They're served with this dish so that you can soak up some of that sauce and bring the heat down a little. It's a delicious combination and I ate every single bite! 5 LV Choice Pocket Pie. A starter for the table, flaky and cut into triangles. 6. Honey, Jasmine green tea. Abc a crisp and refreshing green tea beverage with Jasmine floral notes. Very nice accompaniment to the meal. 7 Minced Pork Rice. We ordered a couple for the table so everyone could try. It was a hit!

We left promising to meet up here again!!! Highly recommended!“

“Juicy Crispy Chicken, plum fries, mushroom and mee USA are the must order for me’“

“I have tried the tea and it's one of the kind, price is so reasonable for a large size, you need to try when you are around the area, words can't describe until you have tasted the tea and judge for yourself.... highly recommended.“

“It's an older (almost hole in wall) type restaurant

I think it totally depends on what you order some things are solid (4 stars) and others are a bit lower

For example, I had kung pao, 3.5 before. Most of the dishes are 3-4 stars. Mongolian beef 3.5
Pork chop bento 3.75 stars

Today 10/2/25
We had beef stew and tendon 3.75 stars
The meat was really good but the broth, to me was ok. I have eaten at other Taiwanese beef noodle places. I just think their broth is better. It is very authentic but the flavor profile is not as tasty to me as other places

The general chicken was good solid 4 stars

Haven't had dim sum or weekend specials

Small place not too many tables 10 inside and 9 small two seaters patio outside“

“Chi Xiao Guo seems to be gone. Now it’s Liu Yue Teppanyaki Cuisine. They don’t sell hot pot in summer, but the Teppanyaki cuisine is also delicious. It’s very similar to the signature Teppanyaki Noodles at Taiwan’s night markets. Love! Definitely will come again : )“
