    Popcorn chicken with rice
    Jeremy S.

    Bobee 5's quick service makes me feel like I entered a pit stop for great Taiwanese food. I got the popcorn chicken with rice ($13) in just five minutes. I arrived here right when they opened at 11 am. One staff member also refilled complementary water. There are plenty of parking and multiple Foothill Transit connections at Colima Rd. and Nogales St. I asked for medium spice, and the popcorn chicken had just the right amount of red pepper for me. The chicken was really tasty with many crispy and juicy bites. I enjoyed the rice with minced pork and wished they had served more. The little side dishes were different from last year. The new ones were a braised egg and vermicelli noodles. This is an improvement from the stir-fried vegetables I had last year. Also, I was able to finish everything on my plate this time. The restaurant was well air-conditioned with loud Chinese pop music playing in the background. There was a sign that said that they require a minimum purchase of $15 when using a credit card. Thankfully, the staff member still let me use a credit card even when my total bill was less than $15. I'm glad that this restaurant is a reliable place to get quick and large Taiwanese dishes.

    3. Fried Pork Chop (Only/Bento/DryNoodle/SoupNoodle)

    Very good. Everything tasted like Taiwan. Also got beef noodle soup. Also very good. Don't forget dessert

    stinky tofu with taiwanese sausage and pickled cabbage
    Vince H.

    Traditional Taiwanese food served with warm service! Returning back to the area, I was craving some authentic Taiwanese food...something that would take me back to the night markets of Taipei. I think this may be that spot. It was clear to me some folks regularly visit this spot, because many patrons walked in, and were greeted with a "your usual?". This warmth in my opinion adds to the authentic Taiwanese flavor and overall ambiance. We went with the stinky tofu w/ Taiwanese sausage, the Dan Dan noodles, and the braised pork belly set with rice, spicy tofu, and vegetables. The stinky tofu and Taiwanese sausage was AMAZING. It's not something I would recommend if you're NOT a fan of this pungent yet delicious food, but if you are a fan like myself, this place does a good job with it! It is good as it comes, but I would recommend adding some extra hot sauce on the pickled cabbage for a bit more kick. The braised pork belly combination won my heart. I mean, it was soaked in a rich broth and paired with bamboo. It was absolutely mouth-watering. The fatty pork belly was true to it's name and absolutely melted in my mouth. The flavors were bold, rich, and perfect with a spoonful of white rice. I know a few people have spoken highly about the Dan Dan noodles, and they weren't bad, but to be honest, not my favorite, subjectively. We will be back!! I truly love this little mom and pop restaurant and I sincerely want to try every single item on the menu to see if it'll transport me back to the humid streets of Taipei.

    1/30/25 Beef noodle soup, crispy pork chop and Taiwanese fried fish cake (tempura) are very good here. That's what I ordered for lunch today. If this is your first time and not sure what to order, just order those 3 items.

    Dan dan noodles
    Karen W.

    This is an unassuming little Taiwanese restaurant with a mom-and-pop feel. The menu has a lot of the most popular Taiwanese dishes, as well as bubble tea. We had the dan dan noodles, dry noodles with pork, and wonton noodle soup. It didn't take too long for our food to arrive and it all looked great. The dry noodles were delicious, topped with a gigantic portion of bean sprouts and a small mound of intensely flavored minced pork. It was a smallish portion though and I was still a bit hungry after finishing my bowl. The dan dan noodles were decent and had the requisite spicy sauce but some pickled veggies with the noodles would have been a welcome addition. The wonton noodle soup was served in a large bowl with generous portions of wonton and soft noodles. The broth was delicate, light tasting and reminded me of something my mom used to make back when I was a kid. Service was friendly and the staff speak both Mandarin Chinese and English. The menu is also written in Chinese and English.

    Stewed Chicken leg
    Debby L.

    Delicious! Their chicken leg and pork chop rice are amazing. But the main reason that we love this restaurant is their dry noodle with bean sprouts. Honestly, their dry noodle just tastes like the one from back home in Taiwan. It's a mom and pop restaurant. Easy to order. And I love swinging by the bakery next door when I wait for my order. You can't go wrong with your orders here! They're fast and efficient as well.

    Lunch special combo D : Taiwanese sausage rice. With wintermelon tea and salad
    Jenette N.

    They seem to be under new management? Or at least new wait staff. Last time we were there it was 3 waiters, now it 2 waitresses. Came back for their famous braised beef tendon noodle soup and also go their lunch combo D, sausage rice.

    Nita C.

    Very Taiwanese restaurant with a very mom-and-pop kind of vibe! I was greeted and seated quickly. They had a promotion going on for their drinks as well. Beef noodle soup: soup base was pretty good! The noodles aren't the traditional noodles you use for beef noodle soup, and they didn't pair very well with it. Typically in beef noodle soup, the beef is pretty tender and soft. Unfortunately, the meats were inconsistent with some being very tender and some chewy and kind of hard. Yam fries: solid fries but a little salty Mix mix: I got this to go for my friend, and they said it was pretty good. Would've been better if it had a bit of a kick to it though. Drinks: the milk tea was so so. Tea favor wasn't very strong and I as a little watered down. The pudding was wayyyy too sweet, so it didn't balance very well

    F

    Never ever order Fried Chicken rice combo . It seems like the photo, if you have stainless steel teeth you'll have this.

    Their water cups are molded / stained in the inside

    This place has always been one of our go to place for Taiwanese food. Food are good & price are fair but I've noticed that their water is not clean (cups are molded).

    How long has it been?…read more Probably close to fifteen or more... When my former place of employment closed nine years ago, my annual trips to Southern California stopped. Despite our work assignment being in Orange County, we always made time to make our way to this area before flying home. Like my visit to the bakery a few doors away, I have not physically come here for likely close to 20 years. I remember dining here with a friend on our last work visit together but only had one dish here. My Chinese literacy is limited to the products that my employer used to sell and basic words that I learned in Chinese grammar school. For a more detailed on the business' background, I suggest you read Ken K.'s (https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=DS0Idr2XDhz5e7ZfSy0dYA) review from 15 years ago. My friend brought my friend and me two orders of their signature stinky tofu (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=fLpW0wnzQ4Z-NaTc-MW3dQ); the dish comes with two sauces and a portion of pickled cabbage that complements the 'stench' of the tofu. Here is a photo of a portion of my meal a few days later (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=DKzwjXbIXCR6N4_KLs-Jrw). It a three-step process. Dip in the red chili sauce before dipping into the darker sauce (Worcestershire sauce or vinegar soy mix?). Top your tofu with a leaf or two of the pickled cabbage and eat. It is as delicious as I remember. I used the toaster oven to reheat the tofu (low heat) but do open your kitchen windows and turn the stove fans on if you don't want that smell to linger. Thank you for my thoughtful and generous friends for delivering a couple orders to me. In reading Ken K.'s review, I need to physically dine there and try their other menu offerings.

I understand that prices have gone up everywhere, and I'm willing to pay more for good food. However, the final bill didn't match the prices listed on the menu, which was very confusing and frustrating. What made it worse was that the actual dishes looked completely different from the photos on the menu. If I had known that those four small pieces of meat would cost that much, I definitely would not have ordered them. The most upsetting part was that when we tried to ask both the server and the owner about the pricing issue, we were basically ignored. On top of that, we waited about 20 minutes just for takeout packaging, even though the restaurant was not busy at all. Honestly, this will probably be my last time coming here. I just hope the friends I previously recommended this place to won't end up blaming me for sending them there.

Portion sizes are large, and service is quick, but note that there might be some take out orders ahead of you even if the store isn't packed. There's easy parking in the lot, but it might be rather full depending on when you're planning on stopping by.
