Taiwanese Restaurants near Sunnyvale, CA

“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“

“4.5 stars. These aren't really burritos, but more like large rice balls with a filling inside. That said, it is really tasty. It's not really enough for a full meal, maybe a quick breakfast or a light meal.

Also, keep in mind, there is no seating whatsoever. This is just a place where you pick up and go. I really recommend ordering in advance, because they are usually extremely slow.“

“Authentic home-style northern Chinese food. It’s best if you go for the dishes that don’t require pan-frying, such as the buns, the pumpkin porridge, or the cabbage tofu stew.
I chatted with the owner, she is very passionate about not using additives, and fresh small-batch oil everyday; her own grandchildren eat here. I have a sensitive stomach and this is indeed one of the only places I can constantly order from.
Overall, this is a restaurant that preserves ingredients’ original flavors like your grandma’s kitchen. The atmosphere is likewise — nothing fancy.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nice ambiance and friendly People“

“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“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Good portion, and delicious food“

“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.“

“I love eating at red hot wok, probably one of the best Taiwanese restaurants in the area.
Recommended dishes: sizzling lamb with black pepper sauce( you can choose any protein with the sauce, personally I prefer lamb), three cup chicken, stir fried lamb with bamboo shoots.“

“Will come again for sure.“

“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.“

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

“Service is great and food is delicious 🤤“

“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. 😋“

“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“

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

“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.“

“I stopped by Cafe Mei in Fremont for a quick breakfast and tried their Signature Pork Sung Sandwich. Wow, what a treat! The sandwich was perfectly toasted, with a flavorful pork patty, fresh cucumber, and that sweet mayo that ties it all together. It felt like a true taste of Taiwan, just like the reviews mentioned. The staff was super friendly, and the vibe was cozy yet trendy. Only wish they had longer hours for us late risers! Highly recommend for anyone craving an authentic Taiwanese breakfast sandwich.“

“有看到紅燒湯冷凍包 可以加入fantun 訂購單以方便訂購嗎？“

“Awesome service great drinks and chill atmosphere 👍🏼“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“I accidentally placed my order at the wrong location online, but the staff were super helpful and quickly rearranged it for me. The service was smooth and friendly. The food itself was really delicious — fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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 : )“

“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.“

“The food it’s delicious 😋“

“Absolutely loved Tasty Pot Hot Pot! The broth options are rich, flavorful, and comforting, and the ingredients are always fresh and high quality. The portion sizes are generous, prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly and efficient. Perfect spot for a cozy, satisfying meal especially on a cold day. I’ll definitely be coming back! 🍲🔥“

“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“

“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! 😊“

“my first time here. I really like it and the service is awesome!🤙“
