Taiwanese Restaurants near Sunnyvale, CA

“I had such a great experience here. I called because I knew I was going to arrive about five minutes after closing, and before I even asked if it was still possible to order, the staff member offered to prepare a bento box for me anyway. That alone meant a lot after a very long day at work.

Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn’t sure which sides to choose, so she helped pick them for me and did an excellent job. Everything was fresh, balanced, and delicious. When I arrived, everyone was incredibly kind and made sure I had all my utensils and condiments before I left.

The food quality was great, but what really stood out was how thoughtful and accommodating the team was. It’s rare to see that level of customer care, especially right at closing time. I’ll definitely be coming back. 🍱✨“

“Great service, oyster mushroom has the perfect crunch and flavor. The bentos are good too with variety of side dishes. Staff are very helpful and there is bright new decor inside as well. The rotating bento discount daily is a great way to try them all!“

“Xiaoman Riceburrito was such a fun and satisfying dining experience! The food was flavorful, fresh, and packed with delicious textures, making every bite enjoyable. The portions were generous, the service was friendly, and the casual atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed meal. I’d definitely come back to try more!“

“This has became a favorite for hot pot and bbq they have a great variety and tastes fresh every time. The staff has always been very friendly and makes you feel very welcome. It can get very busy so plan for that but it is well worth the wait.

Came to edit this and say after all this time it is still a good place but Helen is rude and hopefully she won't be around next time.“

“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.“

“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。“

“The food is good, fresh and a good value.
A suggestion is to improve the to-go order pickup process, currently when you go in, there is a crowd of people with no line and everyone is waiting to pickup their order. And there is usually no one at the counter as everyone is busy prepping/packing stuff so you have to go to the counter at the right time when a worker is calling someone's order name and tell/show them your order details. I believe they keep the to-go food behind the counter to prevent theft or people grabbing the wrong food but the current system (or lack of any system) is stressful each time I go.“

“nice people and good authentic taiwenese food“

“Tasty Pot in Milpitas is a good place when you are craving individual Taiwanese-style hot pot with plenty of flavor and variety. Each person gets their own pot, which makes it easy to choose exactly what you want without having to share the same broth.

The menu has several good options, including beef hot pot, Taiwanese supreme spicy hot pot, seafood, lamb, and kimchi-style pots. The broth is flavorful, and each pot comes packed with ingredients such as vegetables, tofu, noodles, meat, fish balls, and other toppings. The portions are filling, especially with rice on the side.

I like that you can choose your spice level and customize the meal depending on your taste. The spicy broths have a nice kick, while the milder choices are still flavorful without being overwhelming.

The restaurant is casual and usually busy, especially during dinner and colder weather. Service is generally quick, and the individual hot pots come out bubbling hot.

A solid choice in Milpitas for a warm, satisfying meal with lots of variety.“

“Delicious food. The taro squid noodle soup was great, big portion and they will add soup if needed. The soup XLB is delicious.

The acoustic isn’t good, making restaurant very loud when it’s crowded. Hard to talk.“

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

“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. 😋“

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

“This is an authentic Taiwanese fast-food restaurant. It’s usually pretty crowded, and it can be hard to find a seat, so it’s probably better for takeout. The restaurant is mostly self-service and doesn’t ask for tips. The food comes out really quickly.

The prices are surprisingly affordable, and the food quality was way better than I expected. We ordered the fried dumplings, which are probably the most famous dish, and the fried pork chop rice. Both were delicious!“

“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.“

“takeout experience
I bought a small assortment of appetizers; garlic popcorn chicken, fried mochi balls, and sesame balls. If you love garlic, you’ll love the popcorn chicken, as they load up on garlic and it tastes great. The sesame balls are about average, nothing to note but nothing to complain about, is what you should expect. I won’t rate the mochi balls as I had it edited for allergies.

The interior was nice and the staff was helpful in addressing allergy concerns. My only complaint was the skewers, a common thing for snacks served by these type of places would usually have two per box, and not be jammed in to the snacks.“

“The chichen meal is good. The desert and drinks are good too.
One of my family member is a vegetarian. The store can customize the meal for vegetarians.
The store managers are nice and experienced in doing business.
I buy food from Shihlin every week. It's now one of my favorites in Fremont.“

“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!“

“The braised pork rice is the reason I’ll keep coming back. It’s seriously the best, and somehow the flavor hasn’t changed in 10 years. That consistency is so hard to find!

The three-cup chicken was pretty average, but honestly, I don’t really care. I’ll always come back for the braised pork rice“

“Service is great and food is delicious 🤤“

“Good portion, and delicious food“

“Will come again for sure.“

“有看到紅燒湯冷凍包 可以加入fantun 訂購單以方便訂購嗎？“

“I didn't expect much coming here. I was pleasantly surprised - I had a ribeye with mushroom sauce, flavors were just right, nothing overbearing, no harsh spices to overcome poor quality meat, just a good flavorful Taiwanese steak. The soup of the day seemed unusual, chefs choice, sort of a mix of corn chowder and egg drop soup. Again, good subtle flavor combinations and surprisingly good. I'd recommend this as a good way to experience traditional Taiwanese food in the Bay Area.“

“The food was super good and came very fast. When me and my friend got thirsty we asked them if we could have a cup of water each and they dropped everything they were doing to help us get water. This place is super good and I want to come again!“

“First time trying Old Taro today! I ordered their signature combo, which comes with a rice ball, taro chips, and a drink. Everything was nicely put together, and I really liked the variety in the set.

The rice ball was filling and flavorful, and the taro chips were a nice addition. It’s a fun option when you want something quick but a little different from the usual. Glad I finally gave this place a try, and I’d definitely come back to explore more of the menu!“

“Yummy Taiwanese style sandwiches. I guess this style might not be for everyone but I really like the slight sweetness and how soft the bread is in Taiwanese breakfast sandwiches. I always get the signature which has ham egg and sausage. The cucumbers and mayo add a nice freshness. I also tried the taro pork floss sandwich which I enjoyed because I love taro. Definitely super nostalgic of when I go to Taiwan.“

“The food at Orange Square was really good! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The portions were satisfying, and the flavors were balanced without being overwhelming. Definitely a nice spot if you’re looking for something tasty and worth trying. I’d definitely come back again!“

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

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

“Located at a random strip mall. My noodle and steak sizzling plate was delicious in that comfort food way. 👍🏻 Husband got the chicken version, which wasn’t quite as good. The corn soup was just ok - didn’t have too much flavor. Waitress was friendly and the food came out quickly. Looking forward to coming back to trying other dishes.“

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

“Awesome service great drinks and chill atmosphere 👍🏼“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This place served a decent meal. The portion sizes were a little small for taiwanese dishes. These dishes are supposed to be affordable and filling. Cold tofu noodle salad should not cost over 5 or 6 dollars for that serving size. The food was good & had some vegan options. I probably would not think of coming back because I can make something similar at home.“

“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 : )“

“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“

“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! 😊“

“Great food and great service“

“I ordered Taiwanese Supreme Spicy one with mild spice which is not spicy, taste so good. They offered free iced green tea, its refill. I went there lunchtime so there’s a line. It comes with rice or vermicelli. Potion is good, can be shared by two people.“

“炸物、餐點都很有水準，非常有台灣味！極力推薦“

“I always get the soy garlic chicken here, and it’s always been good and they always give you a LOT for the price.
The service here can take a while especially on the weekends when it gets VERY busy.

I would also recommend ordering ahead on the toast app, they have a reward system and also updates whenever your order is ACTUALLY ready, from my experience so far.“
