2nd time trying here…read more The fried stuff is good, everything else is so-so. Hard to find good Taiwanese food here. Not a terrible option. The house marinated chicken rice. Was not very good. Pork chop was good. Fried tempura was good.

SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO by Ellie Goulding... "You're the place, you're the food, you're the place we will have lunch..." SQUID THICKENED SOUP: 5/5 father in laws favorite! The broth is thick and the squid tastes like a home made elongated squid ball... SESAME OIL CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP: 5/5 I love the taste of the broth which consisted of sesame oil, chicken broth, ginger and goji berries... CRISPY TOFU: 5/5 crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It came out HOT! TAIWANESE SAUSAGE: 4/5 sliced sausages were pretty good and not salty like most sausages in the USA... BLACK PEPPER PORKCHOPS: 4/5 The pork chop's were cooked nicely but the sauce could have had more flavor enhanced... OYSTER OMELETTE: 5/5 STAR OF THE SHOW! I just wished I asked for the sauce on the side so that the omelette would not get soggy. SERVICE: A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I asked for extra bowls, plates, napkins, lemons which they don't have, chili oil, bags etc. and they gave it to us without hesitation. Thank you!!! PARKING: PLENTY PRICE: Very reasonable and affordable! A great for groups and family members. ROCK ON DAGO TAIWANESE RESTAURANT!!!!!!! "So what are you waiting for...

Radish cake with egg was oddly just scrambled eggs very generous in this economy, but my husband really wanted some radish cake Only complaint is that there are 2 TV's playing different channels loud at the same time ‍ but I think that makes it a good spot if you eat alone for a quick meal.

The three cup chicken bento was not good today. It was fried for some reasons…read more I hope it is just one of their off days.

This is my first ever visit to Chino Hills location. Yi Mei started with a tiny corner restaurant…read morewithin HK supermarket in Rowland Heights years ago. They have since expanded to San Gabriel, Chino Hills, Monrovia. Chino Hills location is the newer one with modern decor, clean and seems to offer more items. It offers plenty of seats. Service is friendly, but they are very shorthanded. The kitchen and counter will have to help clean up. It's around 9am, I ordered iced soy milk which is premade, you just grab from refrigerator. It tastes good, but fairly standard. I think hot is the way to go for fresh ones. And for breakfast I picked salty rice ball with pickled vegetable; for $7.50 this is more traditional type. And more expensive. It's wrapped with soft and warm glutinous rice, crispy chinese donuts, pork floss, preserved mustard greens(extra cost), preserved radish. Taste is more savory. They offer and push for purple rice type, I will try it next time. My suggestions are to install order kiosks at all locations. And have help with cleanup and other tasks of location is busy. I didn't have picture of inside with tables as the tables are still not clean yet except for my tiny table.

Had a super craving for a, "Fan Tuan," or Rice Roll and looked up for something reliable that's…read morerelatively close by. Glad I found this location and got my Fan Tuan! I got it with the purple rice for a slightly healthier alternative than the standard white rice. The purple rice is 50 cents more, but definitely worth it. The roll itself came with the Chinese Doughnut, Pork Rousung, or dry shredded pork, and the pickled vegetables. The roll was totally delicious and was a great snack to carry around. The regular roll is $6.75 before tax. They have a lot of frozen and refrigerated items, that includes frozen dumplings and chilled soy milk. They also have a lunch menu here of different Taiwanese-style soups and rice plates. Will have to try it next time. They accept cards here with a $20 minimum purchase, or just bring cash. Plenty of parking outside.

Locates in a big plaza with plenty of parking. In person waitlist only, we went on a weekend…read moredinner, there was a wait. Service is fast and friendly. - Popcorn Chicken Pot: 4.3/5. Popcorn chicken comes on the side, it's a highlight of this dish! Tender inside crunchy outside. Otherwise, the broth is not too special, and a little bit too oily to our taste. - Pumpkin Pot: 4.8/5. The broth is amazing and a highlight of this dish! Sweet, savory and little spicy makes a perfect combo. They have some special deals on weekdays.

Hot pot is very satisfying on a cold day. My friend and I went to Pot on Fire for lunch. Perhaps…read moreI might have picked the wrong thing to order because I did not enjoy my hot pot as much as I thought I would. I ordered the House Special Pot. I did not liked the flavor of my order. I did not like pork intestine or pork blood rice cake. I figured out later that I could have asked to leave it out. These items have strong flavor. If you are not into these things, be sure to leave it out of your order. I feel like the pot is rather small. I wasn't full after I have finished my pot of food. I had ordered vermicelli instead of rice. If you are hungry, you should order a bowl of rice instead of vermicelli. You have a choice of spicy level. During lunch hour, an iced tea is complimentary with your order. The iced tea was very refreshing.

A solid Chinese spot nestled in a Chino Hills strip mall with plenty of parking. We called last…read moreminute to ask if they could save us a table for 4, and we were told to get there in 30 minutes. We arrived and were seated right away, and a waiting crowd gathered outside as the evening went on. FRIED FISH FILET WITH SEAWEED: 4/5. While it was a little bit oily for me personally, the fish inside was super flaky, and the batter was really crispy and savory. BEAN CURD WITH PORK: 5/5. The best version I've had of this dish, period. There was something incredibly addictive about how savory and balanced it was. Textures were on point, too: super tender, not rubbery at all. SHRIMP WITH SCRAMBLED EGG: 5/5. The eggs were so soft, creamy, and delicious, with plenty of shrimp in and under the egg. BASIL FRIEND EGGPLANT: 5/5. Yes. This is the flavor I'm looking for when I order this dish. Deep, basil-forward flavor that permeates the eggplant and onions. MUSHROOM AND PORK BELLY HOTPOT: 5/5. Loved the many textures the assorted mushrooms offered. Pork belly was silky, and the mala spice was well balanced.

The food is so delicious. The service is warm and feels like family. Especially love their yang…read morechow fried rice and fried pork rice. Honestly everything is good.

Came here for lunch. Unfortunately was really disappointed. The food was pretty mediocre at best…read more The ramen noodles and broth were alright, basic. The Chasu was dry which seems hard to accomplish with that type of fatty meat and the beef ramen the beef tasted...nearly bad? The XiaoLong Bao tasted frozen I think and relatively flavorless. But the thing that just keeps upsetting me the most is the false advertisement as though it seems ownership changed at least 5 months ago they have not updated the menu or information on here so when we sat down we were surprised to see that the Chinese Korean food we drove 20 minutes for was no where to be seen. Hope the owner will update the menu on here and not trick their customers.

Quick Update: ownership changed and they are now a ramen place. I have only tried their ramen once…read moreand I really liked it, definitely one of the best in this area as good ramen is scarce around here lol. You'll obviously find some better ramen in SGV, but the ramen here is definitely comparable with that of SGV's. Good sides too, just keep in mind, there are no more Korean or Chinese dishes.

Delicious. Owner knew exactly what I needed and boy was he right. My turn came up and I shared with…read morehim my Dad was having teeth problems and to the rescue he came up with serving up soft and yummy dumplings , rice with pork belly deliciousness, and some Taiwan sausage with a big dollop of minced garlic. A cup of rich broth to soothe his ache as well. I very much appreciated the suggestions and found them myself on point and straight yummy to the gut. Thank you thank you for all the service and the light connection and serviceeeeee. Bravooo

Full Flavor at Half Cost!…read more I have yet to experience anything negative from this establishment. Everything from customer service, pricing, portions, and quality has been nothing short of outstanding. Tucked next to the Eastern side of the food hall, you'll find this modest selling spot. I ordered the garlic noodles and the pork belly bao. I wanted something different from their iconic dan dan noodles (try those if you haven't) and boy was I surprised. There isn't seating with them, so you must find a spot in the general area, no problems there. The garlic noodles will have real chopped garlic with a delicious flavoring that will have you satisfied with a stinky breath (not sorry) and the pork belly bao is insanely tender, you'll think you're not even chewing over how soft it is. It's garnished with a mustard topping on a steamed bun. Both of these items were on happy hour and I was fulfilled while not breaking the bank. The owner really does take pride in his work and the quality he produces for us, always happy to support those who bring the passion to the kitchen. YUM

I came here primarily as a place to study, but I didn't realize that they also served a whole bunch…read moreof food items. I thought they only had drinks, but I'm glad I got to have a meal here before diving into my studies. I was warmly welcomed when I arrived and was offered suggestions with the menu since it was my first time. I was planning on getting the popcorn chicken or fried tofu, but I got excited and got hot pot instead with an iced oolong tea. To be honest, I really enjoyed the hot pot (Spicy broth), like way more than Boiling Point or any other hotpot in the area. The flavor wasn't too spicy, but was so flavorful. The toppings too were so savory and complemented the broth well. It's not super busy, so I was able to get a good spot. The music is a bit loud, but headphones fixed that issue. I liked that they had free Wifi, outlets, and big tables which was super convenient! Will definitely be coming back another time :)

I thought this was going to be a cafe but this place completely overturned every single expectation…read moreI had when I walked through the door in the first place. Cyber cafe dream? I think so. With a large parking lot calming any worries of finding parking, the shop is located at the front of the curb and even easier to spot given the Hanlin sign in black font hovering among the other establishments. The entrance is very open with an IG friendly bench below a neon sign to the right and a shining white counter sitting in front of you. It's easy finding a seat among the chairs that litter the space, especially by an outlet for all your devices. It was honestly surprising to find this almost being a cyber cafe as most other coffee shops, milk tea shops and others because they have a lot more considerations and food options to choose from. Especially being guided by the staff immediately upon the question of, "Have you been here before?" No! I haven't but I appreciated the fact that the service here is all about what is the best, what to expect and how to make the experience as smooth as possible. Thankfully it is easy finding something you'd like within the vast menu. Not to mention you'd also like the fact that everything is priced pretty average compared to most places around the area. It's still surprisingly to me finding a Taiwanese restaurant around this area but that's something that you come for especially price for price and pound for pound when it comes to portion and taste. Speaking of taste! The plum juice with boba was a good balance but lets not forget plum is definitely a certain bittersweet taste profile that isn't often enjoyed. It's a good reminder that you're having a subtle and healthy, fruity drink and still pairing it with the sweetness of boba. Now pair it with a small eats such as the popcorn chicken! Crispy basil residing in all the frizzled and well seasoned chicken and not to mention how juicy and tender the chicken is!
