This might be the best spot for those viral fantuans. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. Vibes and people are always so nice and this time I got their corn drink, sausage and New Orleans chicken fantuans to try. The corn drink kinda just tasted like startchy grainy water? It wasn't sweet and didn't have much corn flaves. Not for me. The fantuans had pretty purple chewy sticky rice and were filled with cucumbers, savory sweet pork floss, crispity crunchity yo tiao and umami mushroom bits. The sausage one had that classic snappy sweet Chinese sausage while the New Orleans chicken had a bit of a kick was super tender not dry and I think was dark meat My fave is probably still the eel one but Overall these were still lowkey pretty good. Corn drink $6 Sausage fantuan $11.99 New Orleans chicken fantuan $12.99 read more

We stopped in for dinner the other night. You will find parking in the shopping center parking lot. The restaurant is small but charming. We got a mango chicken purple rice roll and an eel purple rice roll. The rolls are packed with fresh ingredients and are so tasty and filling. There are also several drink options. We got a black tea and a mango coconut sago. Both were very refreshing. Wonderful service and great, fresh food will make this your new place for rolls. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

A-Xing Rice Roll - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

[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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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.

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 read more

Tbh, I was really excited when I ordered from DoorDash because everything looked great in the photos. I genuinely wanted to like the meal, but the overall execution missed the mark for me. 1. Rice - The texture was too soft. It felt like a modern twist on traditional Taiwanese sticky rice, but unfortunately it didn't hold together well or deliver the expected mouthfeel. 2. Mango sago drink - The coconut and mango flavors didn't blend smoothly, and there was an unexpected cheese-like note that threw off the flavor profile. 3. Tomato braised beef - The acidity was overpowering, making the dish taste too sour instead of rich and balanced. Overall, the meal felt a bit off in terms of flavor balance. I hope the kitchen can refine the recipes because the concept is promising. Looking forward to seeing improvements, and I'd be open to trying you again in the future once adjustments are made. read more

Fairly new fantuan spot in San Gabriel. As someone who loves traditional fantuan, I was pretty skeptical about the idea of modifying a classic recipe, but to be honest they kinda nailed it. The base is just a little different, but still gets that same taste profile. It's usually made up of rice, cucumbers, pork floss, mushrooms, etc, and they build on it with your choice of meat/seafood. They kept that sweet, savory, umami flavor while adding some extra crunch in the texture. I've tried a few flavors so far, with Roasted Sausage and Teriyaki Beef being my favorites. I common complaint I'm seeing is that the portions are small which seems fair at first, but they ignore that they're pretty dense and heavy too which ends up evening out and filling me up regardless. I've also seen complaints about them falling apart when cut in half which is also true, but they're also not wrapped in plastic like a normal fantuan (which I appreciate since I hate microplastics). So just eat them whole and you'll be fine. The wait time is always short. No line (which is unfortunate) and my food usually ready in under five minutes. The interior is bright, spacious, and well designed. Only downside is parking in the plaza can be tough, but street parking is a good second option. Overall, great quick-stop choice, especially during the workday. I really hope people give this place a try especially fantuan fans. Can't wait to come back and try more flavors. read more

Great place to pick up a savory snack on the go. So many great donut and pastry places in this plaza. I ordered the Teriyaki chicken roll. It was good however my suggestion is maybe make a smaller roll and charge less, more musubi size. I don't think they speak much English but that's ok. read more

Came by for a to-go order because I always saw one of the owners of a hobby shop nearby constantly plugging this place in their insta stories, and this did not disappoint! I got the New Orlean Chicken rice roll with original salad sauce (pictured, already half eaten), and partner got their Avocado Chicken Fillet rice roll with original salad sauce as well. Just 1 roll for each of us was enough to fill us up for dinner. Will definitely come again to dine-in next time since the restaurant's decorations & vibes were so cute and nice! read more

A-Xing Rice Roll - New Orlean Chicken rice roll with original salad sauce - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Food - 4/5 - If you love rice-rolls and onigiri, this is a place for you. The rolls are a decent size, a bit bigger than expected but not huge. The onigiri is regular size, as to be expected, in my opinion. The taste of the food is really good. They have a good amount of filling to rice ratio and I appreciate that you get gloves to hold the items to eat so it's not too messy. There's a good amount of variety for everyone to get something they like. I think this is a good lunch, snack or quick meal. The teas are pretty good and the other drinks are a good variety too. Price - $$$ - My reason for this price rating is because I do think the price point is pretty high for what it is. I believe that while they give a good amount of filling and a good variety of filling, it's still quite pricy for a rice roll, even at that size and with that amount of filling. A Fan-tuan has to be HUGE in order to justify about $12.99-14.99 for one. The filling inside isn't exactly spectacular enough to justify a higher pricing either. While the fillings are special, it should still be within reason. The drink prices are a bit high too, especially the drink to cup-size ratio. Service - 4/5 - The servers are really kind and attentive. They do a great job at customer service. Ambiance - 5/5 - The shop has a really cute cafe-esque vibe and it is very enjoyable. Location - 3/5 - The location is ok, there's parking but depending on time of day and what day you go, it may or may not be crowded. The plaza is not the biggest. There's public parking lots near by and you can park and walk there if needed. ____________________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only. read more

Check Fantuan for ordering it's much cheaper. This restaurant has seating for 28 people. The parking lot is small but manageable. While the rice rolls appear small, they are surprisingly filling. I tried the teriyaki and cheese flavors; two rolls cost $28, which feels a bit pricey for the portion size. Still, it's a fun experience to try. There is one restroom available inside. The staff provided free drinks for us to sample and speak both Chinese and English. For indoor orders, you can choose to order at the cashier or use the kiosk on the left. A 1:1 sample model of the rice roll is displayed at the cashier. read more

I was convinced by the nice cashier and the general atmosphere that this was a place worth trying out. My food came quickly, and I was surprised my how much I enjoyed eating it. I believe it's worth just as much as anything else you can find around its location. I certainly would recommend to anyone who hasn't tried a rice roll before to eat here. read more

Upon arrival, it was kind of slow , but every area was pretty clean! Service was friendly. I picked the avocado chicken filet rice and my goodness it was delicious. For that price vs portion I am truly impressed. Eating one of these would get you full 100% and very satisfied. The sauces that are mixed in here with other refreshing veggies makes this an awesome food option. This place is underrated and people should give it a go! Its innovative and brings a different Asian fusion to the standard Chinese rice rolls! Ill definitely be back soon! read more

Worth a visit or two if you're looking for a light meal or snack. Ordered the avocado chicken fillet roll, and it was actually pretty filling despite the size. The exterior is packed with delicious warm red rice and pork floss, and the center had a balanced amount of avocado, chicken, and light mayonnaise. The interior is very cute, cozy, clean, and welcoming, and the workers were very friendly! They speak both fluent Chinese and English if you're worried about language barriers. Parking can be somewhat of a challenge depending on the time of day you visit, but the food here is perfect for breakfast or brunch. The price can range between $10-$14, so it's probably best to order off Fan Tuan for the generous discount instead and pick up your order like others have mentioned. Would come back again if I'm around the area feeling peckish. read more

For two days in a roll, I've ordered brunch. So glad they decided to join the breakfast club or it would've been unlikely to visit for me. For the first time, I ordered the shrimp paste with avocado. The roll isn't big, but it can be filling and the is firmly pressed with plenty of fillings. I give this 3/5. Today I ordered the set for black pepper chicken, that came with tea egg and black porridge. The rice roll was 4/5; it had youtiao in it, yum. The tea egg was 2/5; too salty. Haven't give the porridge a try, too full by the time I finished my roll. I really like the packaging and that every order came with a set of gloves, how thoughtful! And the wrapping are a good quality paper or paper cups. Anyone wishes to give a try, can order ahead on Fantuan. They've got great promo going on right now. read more

A-Xing Rice Roll - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Saw this place while picking up an order from Half and half and had to try it. Very glad that there's more rice roll places. Their price point is a tad higher compared to other Taiwanese rice roll/ rice ball breakfast places such as "big tree" or Yi-Mei but with more variety and better decor if you want your food more "insta" friendly. We ordered the basic rice roll to try. It was not bad but unspectacular. I did not like the raw lettuce which had a mayo (or mayo-like) sauce with hot/warm rice. Next time, I would probably try the other more "exotic" toppings and SKIP the lettuce. The raw lettuce with mayo on warm rice ruined the whole thing for me so the husband ate the rest of it. read more

Ok. First of all, portion is insanely small. It's a portion of one musubi!!!!! Second of all, my lord, price is $14.32 after tax. It's tasty, but is it outstanding? NO. Is it worth to purchase a small $14.32 and your competitor is half and half located just beside it? It's not even going to make you full! $14.32 should be a meal. I hope they do something with it! NEVER COME BACK! I appreciate the packaging tho! read more

Like a sushi burrito. Not amazing not bad. Great if u like lots of carbs. Bought one for flight home served it purpose.

The rice balls are made on the spot, with soft and slightly sweet rice. The ingredients are fresh and abundant, packed with filling. The portion is substantial, with distinct layers of flavor. It's both healthy and delicious. The shop is clean, hygienic, and nicely decorated, making it a perfect spot for dates and casual conversations. read more

I am familiar with breakfast type fan tuan, and was interested in what I saw here. Well these things knock it out the park. The chicken cheese has hit both times, the blend of vegetables and sauce, and I wince at the sight of seaweed, but it all tastes so damn good. I also tried the bacon one, just ok, and the teriyaki beef, the meat was dry. By design, not much service, so it's like, do you tip the gas station attendant, do you tip the supermarket checkout? Also, photo-op points in the place, those are cool if the product is great, so I guess I'll be taking a selfie with the gold teeth dinosaur plushies next time. read more

Love their rice rolls and especially the purple rice ingredients. Innovative menu and healthy options. The decor is cute and cozy.

The rolls are extremely small. Went during the first few days of opening and ordered 4 rolls thinking it would be enough for a light dinner. It's hardly a lunch, especially for the price. Good concept and flavors were good but won't be returning unless rolls are doubled or prices cut drastically. read more

Used to open at 8:00am everyday which was great for those wanting to grab breakfast but now they open at 11am on weekends. On weekends, they did not open on time. At 11:10am, their lights were still off and employees were seen barely arriving. So they literally come into work when it's 11am?? If that's the case, they need to change their hours to a later time as to not waste customers time. Inside is small but very clean and cute! The fan tuans were actually quite small. I've tried a couple of different flavors already and they were pretty good. The size doesn't really match the price though. The drinks, on the other hand, were absolutely disgusting. I've gotten a lemon drink and a hawthorn drink. The hawthorn drink tasted exactly like fizzy medicine. The lemon drink wasn't as bad but it was still not worth finishing. Service was very nice and helpful! They are bilingual in English and Mandarin. read more
