“Great food! Beef noodle soup broth is very flavorful, noodles have a great consistency. Bean curd appetizer is very good. Dan Dan noodles have a great flavor but not the usual beef Dan Dan you get at other restaurants. Cash only, small parking lot. Limited hours for lunch “
“Parking/Wait: There is a very small lot with ~5 spots. Never had problems parking there, and there is also a bunch of street parking.Food/Drinks: Their Earl Grey Milk Tea makes my knees weak. Never tried their food, but they have your typical Taiwanese snacks and more. Boba quality is also pretty good (very qq), but be careful if you want some when they are ~1 hr from closing (always out of boba by then). Ambiance/Service: Nice little shop with a bunch of seating. You can definitely study here since there is free wifi. Service is always fast, and I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my drink. Only one or two people working there at a time, so maybe your mileage will vary.Sustainability: Plastic everything but that's pretty standard. Summary: When I'm back home, this is one of the Boba places that I have to go to. I'm a sucker for Earl Grey, and they do it gooood here.“
“Best hidden little gem! Mr. Kuso catered our office event for the second time this year. Every dish was thought out and tasty! You can tell the attention that went into making it. Even though it was made for an office of 35 people, it did not lose its individual flavors, freshness, or texture one bit! Wasn't sure how the office folks would like Taiwanese cuisine as our office is very diverse, but good food is universal and Mr. Kuso is a hit. We ordered hot and sour too, but forgot to get a picture. It was also really good! All of it was delicious.“
“We came in and the first thing they asked was if we wanted an order of their green onion sesame pie (they make it fresh and it takes about 20 min, so hats off to them for the efficiency!). You can tell they care about making things fresh for their customers - the vegetables were so fresh and delicious, and their seaweed fish was so crisp and delicious, I couldn't resist eating before the sesame pie came out. You know they're serious about food and don't care about any of the frills. I love ahgoo's so much. Thank you for having us!“
“B2O has become my family's new go-to weekend restaurant. Great service with complimentary pickled cabbage and marinated boiled peanuts which are to die for. Beer is also BOGO per pitcher, which is great because you get a voucher if you don't immediately want to redeem the second pitcher of beer. The B2O fried chicken is a must try. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and juicy. Another favorite is their 3 cup tofu and basil eggplant dish. Their music choice is kind of weird, but it's not too big of a deal (same short-ish playlist on repeat, including the gummy bear song). At least they don't blast it like some restaurants do. Waitstaff will also help package up leftover food, which is always appreciated!“
“QQ Kitchen is my go-to for vegetarian Taiwanese food in the area, as there are a lot of veggie options that are delicious! Food is reasonably priced with their rice entrees being around $12. I've tried their vegetarian popcorn chicken and red chop rice. Both orders come with a side of cabbage, tofu, vegetarian minced pork (mushrooms), and a tea egg. The woman who takes orders/cooks is great. I walked in to place an order and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. Note that this place is to-go and cash only!“

“Bafang Dumpling Temple City is a clean and cozy pay-at-the-counter Taiwanese specialty shop offering convenient takeout, delivery and dine-in options. Take advantage of the free and convenient parking spots and the opportunity to check out the cute shops located in the same shopping plaza while you wait for your order here. Bafang Dumpling offers an extensive menu from Taiwanese beef soup, milk tea, savory snacks, house specials and specialty dumplings. I'm a huge dumpling fan. I like how many different cultures feature a tasty treat like a savory present inside of a dough wrapping. Gyoza, potsticker, baraka, samosa, empanada, pelmini, meat pie, ravioli, perogie and many other delicious handmade dumplings help bring families together. I ordered the Bafang signature dumplings pan fried with chili sauce on the side and a couple dozen frozen dumplings to take home. They were great! I tried cooking Bafang signature dumplings at home a few different ways, first by following the helpful instructions. My favorite cooking method was to pair Bafang Taiwanese dumplings with a few international dipping sauces and sidekicks from my local grocery store. Bafang signature dumplings are a great addition to soups as well. Great service, food and flavor. Five Star everything. Taiwanese dumplings fans, I posted a Taiwanese flag emoji alongside a positive poem about tolerance and a slow motion wok toss from a cool ramen joint. I was prompted to delete the post and shadow banned till I deleted it sadly. I hope Yelp is a place where we can celebrate our love for Taiwanese dumplings and each other forever. *********************“
“I love this restaurant so much! It’s never as full as I think it should be; maybe people are intimidated by the DIY element? (It’s a build-your-own malatang / mala dry pot kind of spot.) The flavors are authentic and spicy (but you can dial down the spice if that’s not your thing.) there’s also a cash discount if you pay with cash.Parking: There is street parking in the neighborhood as well as a dedicated lot behind the restaurant (free).“
