Taiwanese Restaurants near Santa Clara, CA

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“Ordered on doordash for a Caltrain bento dinner - surprisingly good and super well-priced!
Very generous portions - tried the braised pork bowl & teriyaki chicken salad. They’re not skimpy on the ingredients at all. And glad they have healthy salad options which is rare for Taiwanese restaurants!

—
Came back and tried the curry tofu (veggie) bento and it was such a huge portion and so yummy 🥹 wish SF had something like this - good value no fuss and super cute packaging!“

“The food is delicious and they are very efficient.
You can order online and you will get a number that will show when you can get your food. This is a takeout only the restaurant, but there are some papers on the second floor in the mall.“

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

“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。“

“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. 😋“

“My family had a fantastic dining experience at Tasty Pot in Milpitas! We were thoroughly impressed by their quick and efficient service. When our daughter accidentally dropped a spoon on the floor, a staff member promptly provided us with a new one without any hesitation.

The customer service was exceptional, making us feel valued and well taken care of throughout our meal. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We sincerely appreciate the team for giving us an unforgettable and delightful dining experience.

We will definitely be back to this location. Highly recommend Tasty Pot for their amazing service and delicious food!“

“nice people and good authentic taiwenese food“

“I can tell from the quality of food, decor, cleanliness, and environment that a lot of thought was put into this restaurant. The food was incredible - very fresh and tasty. They were also kid-friendly (small details like corner protectors on the chairs). Our kids enjoyed the toy dispenser and the kids meal. Staff were friendly too. We will definitely be back!

Kid-friendliness: Kids meal, toy dispenser, clean restrooms, and even corner protectors on the chairs!“

“Traditional Taiwanese restaurant in an unassuming venue, serving up a lot of delicious classic dishes. Fast and efficient service, but some of the sizzling platter dishes seem to use the same sauce with different proteins. Small parking lot, so need to look for some street parking.

Parking: Very small parking lot“

“Was craving soup dumplings so we came to this spot. Got A2, Juicy pork dumplings w/ crab meat. E6, Mongolian cumin beef and K8 seafood and pork chow mein.

All were great but for sure the favorite was the soup dumplings. Easily could have ordered extra and only this dish if we didn’t want variety.

Parking: I would assume the parking can get bad on weekends. Weekday easy to park.“

“Another authentic Taiwanese bento place located in San Jose area! Simple, no frills meal but represented traditional Taiwanese "bento box" style meals. Similar to Japanese bento boxes but Taiwanese preferred the bento to be hot so most of the items tends to be hot/warm.

Choice 4 side dishes plus an entree and there goes your quick meal for the day.

Cash or cards.“

“Yum yum! I love this location so much, very convenient, and the quality of their fried chicken is so crunchy. it stays crunchy after a while. Easy access inside Ranch 99.I highly recommend this location over barber lane, it's hit or miss.“

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

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

“The Chicken is delicious, the flavor is unlike any other place I've tried, and the crunch is phenomenal. You get a good amount of Chicken for $12. I recommend the mild spice XL chicken thigh ordered ahead through the app. You can get the less seasoning option if you're adverse to the strong flavor. We usually have leftovers, and they make great sandwiches.“

“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!“

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

“The wonton soup is delicious and heavily seasoned with white pepper. Some people may not like it, but I love white pepper!
I heard that this store opened in Hualien, Taiwan from the United States. I had eaten at the Hualien store before and thought it was opened in Hualien first. I didn’t expect that now that the Hualien store has closed down, the American store is still there.
Thank you for having authentic Taiwanese snacks in such a close place. Thank you for your hard work, I will definitely visit often!
By the way, dry noodles are delicious too?“

“Have been coming here for years.

The food is always fantastic. The service is great. The owner Austin is the best.

I don't typically leave reviews, but Liang's is a favorite and a 5/5 across the board.“

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

“Best soup that I experience in my life"“

“One of the best Shabu Shabu in the area 😋“

“Good food for a decent price. Everything is flavorful, I really enjoyed the vegetable side dishes. The tea egg was a good side for protein and the katsu was tender.

We also ordered corn and it was good but probably wouldn’t get it again. I’d stick with the set meal.“

“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“

“Service is great and food is delicious 🤤“

“I originally wanted to eat pork rib rice.
But that day was gone,
The next best thing is fish steak rice.
It doesn't look very appetizing,
But after trying it, I found it was quite delicious.
I ordered a dish of white-cut large intestine.
The smell is a bit stronger, which is a pity!“

“好吃平價台灣料理 來這裡就對了“

“I order the Crispy Chicken, Assam Black Milk Tea, and BBQ Tilapia Fish Entree to go at 2024/06/28. Not wait for a long time, and everything is fine for me.
One more thing, the ordering machine is not easy to use, order on front desk, maybe faster.“

“The place is part of a small food court, I got Oyster Mee Sua, to my taste it is thin noodles in thick/starch broth, the good is pretty good, but I'm not a big fun of thick soup overall. I was served within 5 minutes (came around 8 pm)“

“Business is booming and customers are coming like clouds. A great and very clean restaurant for customers to buy authentic and delicious Taiwanese Street Food. A nice manager leads her great teammates to prepare high quality Taiwanese Street Food and provides every and each customers with excellent services. I love their savory rice puddings, rice dumplings, steamed stuffed buns, Taiwanese meatballs, and taro cakes.“

“My favorite playground. The only place I go everyday.“

“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.“

“有看到紅燒湯冷凍包 可以加入fantun 訂購單以方便訂購嗎？“

“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.“

“My family ate there yesterday after my munchkin's cross country race at Baylands park. So delish!!! We ordered the beef pies, chili oil beef, chive noodles and pork and egg porridge.. oh and dumplings. YUUUUMMM!!! (Sorry, no pic of porridge. We were hungry and that was the first item to come out! We were Ravenous!!)“

“One of my favorite restaurants, sometimes I'll go there multiple days in a row when I'm in town for business“

“I ordered the Taiwanese Fried Rice Noodle & 3 Piece Egg Rolls. I would definitely order the Taiwanese Fried Rice Noodle again, very good! The filling in the Egg Rolls was mushy. I would not order those again.
I ordered through GrubHub as I am visiting from out of town. I think its GrubHub that over inflates the Delivery charges, Driver Charges and tips so I won't hold it against Queen House but I paid $40 for a $27 order“

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

“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 : )“

“Have visited this restaurant on a few occasions for dinner upon the recommendation of a Taiwanese American friend. What caught my eye especially is the more than 500 items on offer in the menu for a customer to choose from ?. The portions are generous and the taste is generally quite good. Although personally I do not think that the stinky tofu is comparable to what you can get in Taiwan and the soup with pig innards and wine is also a bit too oily for me. I will also recommend the seafood fried noodle as well ?.“

“It's one of my local hotspots. I've been eating here since pre Covid. Good thing the business survived because this place has the hot Mongolian beef broth that I like. It's not too thick and not too much. Just enough portion for 1 person. Overall service is good. They have milk tea also. Recommended the England milk tea.“

“If you know what to expect and don't expect to be waited on, then you'll be fine. Every dish has different levels of spiciness, and the only thing I wish is that the spiciness level of each dish was similar across the board, but that's impossible since every dish has different ingredients. What I mean by that is if you choose "really spicy" for one hot pot item then it should be roughly similar with a different hot pot but again I know that's difficult with the ingredients being different. The miso hot pot was so mild 😩..I digress. Also, if you're like me and like to have a good amount of meat as protein in your soups, then make sure to order a side of beef (especially for the Taiwanese supreme). I was low-key disappointed there was barely any meat for a dish that's considered "supreme." I did order a side a beef halfway through my meal, which I didn't know we could do until my date told me.“

“We like the extensive menu options, reasonable price and steamy dumplings. it serves both Northern and Southern China dishes.“

“Semi self-service. (Raw) meat selection for the table & personalized soup base are brought to you; the remainder (veggies, tofu & seafood) come on the conveyor belt. You pick your own side-dish sauces (buffet style). All you can eat but limited to 90 min.

Meats were very fresh, as were the seafood, since we had an 11 am reservation (allowed for > 6 people; more on this below). Plentiful and speedy conveyor belt since we were the "1st shift" (get my drift?). I preferred shrimp & chicken (low fat), but was able to tear off the fat (yup, strip by strip if your diet tends in that direction) from the red meats. After a while, no one could tell what meats were on which plates! We thought the baby scallops were great: fresh and tender if you let it into the soup only for 15 seconds, yet they didn't toughen up if you left them in for a while. Shrimp: delicious & fresh, and you have a choice of shelled vs with the full metal jacket!

The variety of tofu was really good. The puffy rectangles were especially nice since they soaked up the soup and softened upon contact with moisture. There were sufficient greens to even things out. We saw a group of Buddhist monks in the queue, so you know it's possible to eat vegan here.

Some of the soup base selections were exceptional: tomato (so good!), mushrooms & Tonkatsu highly recommended (these all start with bone broth, I believe). Miso not so much (uninteresting). The soup gets more flavorful as the meal progresses, so it's better to get something not too intense.

We secured a reservation with 7 people, but personally, I wouldn't do this again. The seating for a big group still places the conveyor belt next to only 2 people, so now those closest to the belt must continuously serve the rest of the table. It's too much. Far better to break up the group into foursomes. However, I've heard that sometimes they stuff a lone customer onto a table for 3. How weird is that?

While the atmosphere is alright, the style of food service is such that it made for a feeding frenzy with no conversation (except to praise the food). If it's a visit you seek, this is not the experience you'd want. Or plan to visit another place afterwards.“

“謝謝好吃的晚餐！“

“炸物、餐點都很有水準，非常有台灣味！極力推薦“

“literally one of the best tea places i've been to in a while. yes, the drinks are awesome, but the food, which would normally be an afterthought, brings an amazing additional flavor profile to the menu, which comes together in a fantastic food and beverage experience. A+“

“The food is very good The staffs are very nice, friendly, very helpful, very polite.“

“My favorites are Bomb bread, black sesame pastry, coconut raisin loaf, sweet green bean mug, taro cake and strawberry shortcake. My little girl is the big fans of the Nutella wheel cake, strawberry shortcake bread and cranberry loaf. My hubby likes the milk bread and Vietnamese sandwiches. The twins (fries and chicken) and shave ice are very good too. Owners and staff are very nice and helpful. I always call ahead to reserve my favorites. Excellent customer service, fresh and tasty food, reasonable price. Highly recommended! 😊“
