    It was my first time trying this! I got the Kabayaki eel rice roll which was really good! It was a cute little venue. Service was amazing and they were super nice. They are passionate with what they do. If you're looking for some authentic rice rolls, you should check this place out!

    I've been wanting to try yi mei but not willing to drive out there, so I was happily surprised to learn about this place. The interior is cute with lots of floral decorations and comfortable seating. I was particularly intrigued by the eel roll, so I ordered that. My partner decided to order the spicy crawfish and added beef to it. I also ordered the ice lemon tea, but my partner didn't add a drink since...that was the only drink option they seemed to have today. Otherwise, our food was made quickly, and portions are very generous; the rolls seem small when we pulled them out of a bag, but they are fully stuffed with our selected protein. I'm eyeing the squid roll for next time.

    I've been wanting to try these rice balls for a while, and they did not disappoint! I came on the weekend and it was surprisingly empty. The inside is cute with colorful cozy vibes and plenty of seating, including comfy couch-like seats along the walls. We ordered the chicken avocado rice ball and the beef teriyaki rice ball. The chicken avocado was delicious, a great sweet-savory balance with the avocado. The beef teriyaki was equally satisfying. My only suggestion would be to add a bit more protein to each, as both felt slightly light in that department. Overall though, both were really good and a solid size to keep you full for a while. They also have a great variety of options on the menu, so I'm excited to come back and try more protein options next time. Definitely worth giving it a try!

    A comparison of how small the drinks are.   Not what picture show in uber delivery.

    I ordered from uber eat. The drinks looks bigger than what I m getting n not to mention the ingredients in the drink. There is nothing as picture. False advertising

    I have mixed review on this place, for the first time, I got its most popular roll with egg, it was so good. Second time, I got eel roll and beef roll as the sushi man recommended me, they were the popular item on the menu. This time, I was so disappointed, cuz both rolls were very dry, and very little/small beef and eel. Mostly it was rice, so I am not gonna get those again.

    Walked by and saw the poster of the rice rolls and was determined to get one. I ordered the teriyaki beef rice roll (fan tuan). The food was freshly made and service was quick. The rice roll was full of flavor and inside was teriyaki beef, sliced cucumbers, pork floss in a nice savory sauce all wrapped by purple rice. The rice roll is about 4-6 inch in length so the portion would seem small for the price. They offered a $5 upgrade for a onigiri combo with a iced black tea. I would go back to try their breakfast rice rolls that is available from 8am-12pm.

    I originally went to get Taiwanese food right next door but for some reason the doors were locked. Saw this right next door and decided to give this spot a try. I must say the eel rice roll was pretty good. Not sure what was inside but the sauce was good, the flavoring was good but the problem was how easy it fell apart. It's like every bite I took, the whole thing was ready to fall right out. The pork chop roll for $9 was literally like 3 small pieces of meat in there. The corn and lettuce overpowered the pork chop which is not ideal. We weren't full off this, this is more like a snack. Or maybe I just eat a lot LOL Service was quick. Nobody else was there at the time we went on a weekday. Parking is available but shared w a lot of other food establishments so it can get pretty busy.

    [Oct 3, 2025 5:45PM] Love the interior design! It's so cute and thoughtfully designed. Customized packaging deserve its honorable mention. Fitted well with the theme it's going for. We ordered 3 rice rolls, and all were made within 10-15 minutes. It was fresh and hot when I got it. Rice roll is about the 4-5 inch in length. Shorter than expected, but packed with flavors. One roll can easily fill you up.

    8/31/2025 - This is the first store opened in the U.S. while the chain store has more than 1,000 stores in China and Taiwan. Ita specialty is fruit tea and rice roll. I ordered a Lemon Yashi Oolong that is very good, or fresh with just right sweetness, and you can see some fresh lemon pulp. The Mango coconut sago 芒果椰汁西米露 is also very good with fresh MANGO. I truly enjoyed both drink, especially Mango coconut sago. The Rice Roll is outstanding with fresh ingredients. A free WiFi is available in store as well as parking, but the weekend parking is challenging!

    The packaging is beautiful, the food is delicious, but the price is a bit high and the portion is a little small.

    Fun, colorful packaging and presentation, a lowly 'fantuan' rice ball/onigiri in fancy clothes. It's all good until I tried to dig in (your experience may vary). My 'pork chop' rice ball fell apart as soon as it was cut open or bit into - very messy! I am sorry the form factor looks good but just doesn't work in practice. You will need a spoon and/or chopsticks. There's a lot of corn inside and not a lot of pork. The rice ball shell was very hard as to be inedible. I just ate a few bites and toss the rest of the $11 rice ball. SUGGESTION- for the price, make 2 small bite-size riceballs instead 1 giant one. My favorite Taiwanese rice ball is from J J Bakery in Temple City. Small, easy to eat, savory, packed with ingredients (chinese donut, pork sun, sausage, egg) and only $7.

    The interior is super cute. Seems like a great place to go with friends. We used a kiosk to order, and our order was ready a few minutes later. At first, I thought they were a bit pricy, but these portions were actually quite big. I tried the black pepper chicken roll, and it tasted great!

    First time trying a new restaurant ~ Ah Kung Rice Ball Avocado Caviar shrimp paste purple rice roll+ lemon yashi oolong tea I think it's good, there are many flavors I want to try,, today can only pick one flavor to try This lemon tea is my favorite flavor , I haven't had it for a long time, it's great Since the clerk asked me how it tasted, I just said the rice roll were not hot enough, the waiter immediately took the initiative to send me another flavor of rice roll to take away, I said no, but he insisted. Very nice. Well, tomorrow breakfast / lunch is down This restaurant has been open for almost a year, and I just discovered now that I will have the opportunity to try their breakfast limited next time

    I recently came back here again for a quick Sunday dinner and here are some of the key highlights:…read more * Parking was easy this time as I was able to find an available spot in the parking lot immediately. * I was able to check in 5 minutes ahead of time via Yelp and only waited 5 more minutes in person before receiving a text that our table was ready on Sunday at 7:30 PM. * One of the most efficient services for Chinese restaurants in the SGV (San Gabriel Valley) area as the staff wasted no time serving food, refilling water, and responding to a check request. * Ordered slightly different dishes this time and C1 Xiao Long Bao (juicy pork dumplings 8 pieces -$13.00) and C5 Beef Roll (6 pieces - $16.00) were A-tier dishes. Xiao Long Bao's flavor profile tasted more like steamed dumplings. Beef roll didn't taste as good as I remembered (probably because it had slightly less hoisin sauce), but it was still a good beef roll nonetheless. * Personally G4 Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon ($15.99) was a surprising discovery and an S-tier dish. Basically think of it as beef chow fun, but replace flat noodles with udon and add egg and bell pepper - excellent flavor profile. C3 Pan Fried Pork Bao (6 pieces - $13.00) were comparable to the ones from Kang Kang Food Court. 4.5 stars for the food with 4 items enough to feed 3 to 4 adults. I would say their noodle dishes like Beef Noodle Soup / Black Pepper Beef Fried Udon / Fujian Style Fried Vermicelli are slightly better than their dumpling dishes. Bump it up to 5-star for the excellent service. P.S. - There's another new location in Diamond Bar.

When we arrived, a lady told us it would be another 15 minutes. Strange, considering the order had been placed an hour earlier and was already marked ready. We went outside to wait, and literally one minute later, the waitress came out with our food. I asked her politely if it had actually been ready before, and instead of simply explaining that there had been a mistake or misunderstanding with the order, she made a rude face and snapped "yes." I completely understand that mistakes happen. What bothered me was the attitude when I asked a simple question. I've worked as a server before, and basic manners and customer service really aren't that difficult. Honestly, the interaction left a really bad impression, and as someone who isn't Asian, I also couldn't help but wonder if there was some bias involved because of the way I was treated. I can't say that for certain, but that's genuinely how the interaction made me feel. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

Thankfully no more Chinese school, but I still love getting together with my family for a weekend meal. I was so impressed by All In Cafe. It's a small, unassuming spot tucked into a Stater Bros. plaza, but the flavors instantly brought me back. We always start with the fried combo. It comes with popcorn chicken, fish cakes, oyster mushrooms, squid balls, and sweet potato fries. Everything is seasoned with the perfect amount of five spice, and it's great for sharing. I usually come with my family, and we always order way too much because who doesn't love leftovers? Some of our other favorites are the stewed stinky tofu with intestines, rice cakes, the chicken plate, and the cold cut salads. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with anything here.

I even didn't want to take any photos of the food, because I was so pissed off! Save your money and go somewhere else.

I was slightly disappointed to say the least especially after reading all the raving reviews about it. I would definitely get it again if they improve it. Prices were very reasonable for the huge portion size. I would love to return for a dine-in experience to try their other authentic Taiwanese specialty dishes. I will definitely return to order take-out for the Fish Fillet with Bean Sauce. Thanks Aghoo's Kitchen!

They do share the lot with several other establishments. The lot doesn't really get busy, so you shouldn't have any problems with finding parking. I did notice that some spots are smaller than others. Food: I ordered a mild spicy popcorn chicken and minced bowl/ plate. The popcorn chicken was very flavorful, crunchy, tender, and juicy. Big portion for like $10. The Taiwanese seasoning mix brought me right back to the night markets to Taiwan. It's truly the 5 spice powder that hits the spot. The batter wasn't thick, so the chicken didn't taste very battery/ cakey. That's what I hate about some places that make popcorn chicken. It also wasn't too spicy for me. It was just right. I ordered the minced bowl, which is actually a plate. For like $12, it was actually pretty good and the portions was huge. The boiled / blanched cabbage and broccoli were soft, sweet, and tasty. I could taste the sesame oil on it. It wasn't salty. The sweet corn and diced juicy tomatoes combo was good too. The boiled tea egg was pretty delicious. You can actually taste the tea and soy sauce. The egg was nice and soft. And now, for the braised minced pork. The pork was very delicious and it just melted in my mouth. I love that there were some fatty pieces of pork too in the dish. It balanced out some of the pieces of pork, which had too much meat in it. Definitely a very savory and rich dish. Omg and the sauce from the braised minced pork drizzled over the rice was just so perfect! It made the rice extremely delectable. This is hands down one of my favorite Taiwanese dishes, and it was made perfectly. Staff: The staff here are very friendly, welcoming, and kind. They are closing this restaurant down in February 2026 due to rising rent and the landlord's unwillingness to upgrade the place. So sad. I'm seriously upset to see this place go. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is a $20 credit card minimum.

    I was craving pork chop rice the other day and couldn't think of where to go, but I remembered…read morehearing that Why Thirsty had a solid pork chop, so I decided to give it a try. I've only had their drinks and popcorn chicken in the past, which were decent. I called in a pickup order and the food was ready in about ten minutes. As of 12/06/25, they currently do not offer dine in and are only doing takeout. I ordered the Railroad Pork Chop, which is the traditional Taiwanese style where the chop is marinated and grilled or pan seared instead of fried. It came with rice and two veggie sides, and everything tasted fresh. The pork chop was flavorful and tender, and the marinade went perfectly with the rice. Overall, a pretty solid meal and I would definitely come back for it again. Not many places still make the railroad style pork chop like this, so it's worth trying if you're a fan.

    SinBala - Arcadia…read more SinBala is one of the rare Taiwanese restaurants that has stood the test of time. I grew up eating here. There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories. I come for the Taiwanese classics that are becoming harder to find. The popcorn chicken is still one of my favorites--crispy, fragrant, and seasoned the way Taiwanese street vendors do it. The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.

    Came for Taiwanese shaved ice. Honestly the only one in the area it seems doing it traditional…read morestyle - shaved ice not show, lots of toppings. A bit sweeter than my preference but maybe cuz I put condensed milk on it as one of the toppings. The grass jelly shaped firm and nice cubes so possible it's from a can as opposed to in house. Sausage I had as well not the best I've had but traditional flavor and served with lots of garlic on the side (wahoo!)
