    This is one of the few authentic Taiwanese "theme" restaurants, with some unique specialties. I was pleasantly surprised that the store nearly full and about half of the patrons were non-Chinese, it's great that more and more people are discovering authentic Taiwanese food. We usually come here for Taiwanese bento and beef noodle soup, and we decided to try something different this time, and everything was good. The highlight was definitely the stinky Tofu, it was perfectly fried and with a nice "stinky" smell, and it was very good. Ok this one is probably not for beginners, as it is likely an acquired taste. The thick noodles was soothing and just what we needed. The satay hot pot was very good, we had enough to bring home and continue to enjoy the next day. I called it a "themed" restaurant because the store was originally modeled after an elementary school 3rd grade classroom, the chairs, tables, bulletin board and blackboard, even the menu is sort of what you might find at a school cafeteria (of course much more fancy), there is a nostalgic, cute feeling for those of us grew up in Taiwan. For everyone else, it's a nice touch if you are into these cultural stuff.

    Keeping this short and sweet because the shaved snow here will always hit and it's probably in my top 3 desserts ever in life lol. Will always do the make your own and 95% of the time pick the milk flavor with fruit and mochi. Always dreaming about this especially when it's hot! But also don't skip out on Taiwanese cafe food, always a hit as well!!

    This place is so cute.. Service is quick, you sit down they give you menus and when ready they have a button that calls your server. Food is good and well portioned.. many of the dishes are shareable.. from what I saw from my neighbors. tables are school desks, it's cute.. we ordered shaved ice, and the flavors we had are subtle despite the numerous toppings. They were good but not exactly sweet, they look to be loaded with flavor but both of our very different desserts weren't sweet enough, idk the nutritional information but perhaps it is in the lighter side?? Don't get me wrong it was yummy just so subtle.

    Taiwanese Oyster Omelet
    Erika C.

    Friendly staff but service may be slower for dining since it's probably mostly a boba and ice joint, the way it's set up. The classroom theme is done well. For food, the wontons and noodles were okay. You get huge portions for all noodle soups. The oyster omelet is not bad, good ratio of ingredients and sauce. It's a little more fried eggy than average I think, reminded me of one I had at the Taipei 101 food court rather than night market or maybe US Shihlin spots. I wouldn't mind ordering any of these again. The popcorn chicken was dry. The fried tofu had the right stink but zero flavor or seasoning. The boba had mushy pearls and the tea was a bit too milky for me. Also the crazy soup container size trend I feel should have come and gone. No way I can finish that size even if it was good. Now I know what to avoid I wouldn't mind returning but wouldn't go out of my way.

    I was so surprised to find this place -- I grew up going to the one in Rowland Heights, and I was really sad that it left. The pork chop was light and crunchy. It was tasty! The decor was also spot on, just like an old Taiwanese classroom

    When you are feeling lazy to cook and you don't want fast food, Class 302 is such a great option. Easy order placement and pick up. The food comes well prepared and still tastes as good as if you ate it there.

    small 302 Milk Tea w/ grass jelly
    Michelle T.

    Decided on some boba for a dessert and Class 302 Cafe was conveniently there. Service was nice and friendly. Ordered at the counter, and drinks were out in under 10 minutes. Cozy and warm, nice liveliness to the place. Feels like a casual spot or a homey comfort spot! Got the 302 Milk Tea with grass jelly as an add-on. Average milk tea, nothing special. Average amount of ice, could be considered as too much for some people. A little too sweet initially for my liking but not overbearing and I'm not sure if they make adjustments because I didn't look into it or ask. I'd say that their original sweetness is like 80-90% level compared to the trendy affordable boba shops, and when the ice melts, it tastes 60-70% sweetness, which should be fine but it's just a bit bland when the ice completely melts for me (my preference is 60-80% sweetness for reference). For about $7, their small is worth it for 32oz, which is more than enough and a good deal for me. Can't say I'd recommend for taste and quality but for nostalgia, convenience, and quantity, I'd say it's a good option when you're in the area. I hope to stop by and try their food next time!

    Spicy Pork Bone Noodle Soup with Wonton
    Brian W.

    Class 302 Cafe is a very popular Taiwanese restaurant chain. This spot in Cerritos is very well run, and I highly recommend it. I've been coming recently for late night dinners, and the servers are very friendly. It's always pretty popular at night, so there are many tables taken up. It's a lively environment with fun music! This time, I tried the Spicy Pork Bone Soup with Wontons and the Fried Intestine. I actually really enjoyed both of them! The Fried Intestine in particular was very well made. The Spicy Pork Bone Soup with Wontons tasted like Malatang. I really liked the flavor of the soup. It also came with plenty of wontons and noodles. Overall, Class 302 continues to be an excellent place for great food!

    "Sit wherever you like", so we do. "Not this table, it's for bigger groups". That gave us the best laugh, specifically the area he pointed after, all the tables were extra dirty, with plates from previous patrons. So we sat on the 1 clean table available. We had the shaved ice. He only brought one spoon even tho he knew we were sharing. So I got up and got an extra one. We were almost done, and the waiter brings the 2 cups and spoons, lol. We told him it wasn't needed, he apologized for forgetting to bring it. The shaved ice was delicious, the place is either under staffed or staff needs better training.

    Came here on Saturday around 6pm. It was almost full when we came. The restaurant is themed like a classroom so for taller people, you will not be able to cross your legs under the table. We always get the cold noodles with chicken which already got finished before the pork rib fried came to our table. It's delicious and refreshing on a hot day. The sauce is on the side so you can adjust it to your liking. The fried rice is great as well. The breading on the pork is crispy and the pork is soft. For dessert we built our own shaved ice. Strawberry ice with mango, mochi, taro, red bean, and egg pudding. The mango was super sweet, the taro pieces were quite big, and the mochi pieces are chewy and the texture is so satisfying. The red bean is standard. The egg pudding was hidden under the ice and was good as well. This place is a great place to come by to try some taiwanese cuisine. The place is always pretty busy in the front theres always people getting boba.

    Do they still sell shaved ice cause last time I stopped by the one in Irvine but they did not have it at that location?

    Some locations still do. Cerritos yes. Downey no.

    Do they take apple pay?

    Yes

    Is this place good for a group of 7?

    Yes but you may have to wait. Sometimes the place is totally dead and other times it's swamped. Matters what day and time you go as well...

Some of their greatest hits are the house fried fish, wu geng chang wan, and stir fried green beans. Our family almost always orders these items when we go out to eat. Their menu is huge so not everything is top tier but it is a great spot that continues to serve the local community. Can't really ask for more.

Sad to see that their last day is May 11th. Would highly recommend people to try before their last day. Our latest visit was during lunchtime on a weekday. We were greeted upon entering and were told to choose whichever table we wanted. We ordered a Wintermelon Tea, Fried Pork Chop Rice, and the Century Egg Tofu. Food and tea came out quickly. Everything was so good and felt like comfort food that family would make. The pork chop was seasoned well and came with a tea egg, and vegetable sides of broccoli and tomato as well as soup. The tomato side reminds me of this tomato egg that we eat often. The century egg tofu was delicious. The tofu had a great texture -- soft, creamy, but also dense. The sauce that it came with was sweet, salty, and garlicky. The century egg was good. The winter melon tea was light on ice, well-balanced, and not too sweet. Overall, giving Formosan Restaurant a 5/5. Wish we started coming here sooner. Staff are nice, service is quick, prices are great, and the food is delicious.

And prefer it over many other Asian cuisines.* The reason I chose M's Kitchen over two other Taiwanese restaurants in the area? So many more vegetable dishes! And wow, am I completely grateful I did! We arrived on a Saturday evening, and the server and chef were both in the kitchen. The server came over and gave us menus before getting our drink orders. She was prompt in a very caring manner without ever seeming rushed. She had lots of suggestions as we asked questions about the menu. At some point, the chef was sitting with us, and she asked him clarifying questions for us. She even went back into the kitchen to find out which vegetables were the freshest (which I appreciated)! We ordered a cup of ginseng and goji berry chicken soup, chicken cream corn soup (with egg), ong choy with garlic, walnut shrimp, crispy tofu, and green scallion pancake. As each dish came out, it felt like different instruments in an orchestra being highlighted as they wove into the tapestry of the music. The ong choy built onto the soup, the crispy tofu onto the ong choy and soup, and so on! Until there was this grand harmony of pulsating flavors and textures! I thoroughly enjoyed each dish! I only wish I had a bigger appetite so I could eat more and faster! The server helped us to pack the leftovers. We spoke about how traditional Chinese and Taiwanese food get lost in the mix of more modern and fusion recipes and restaurants. I am also a loving fan of mom and pop dining because it reminds me of the many meals I have been gifted by the parents of friends and friends who have opened their homes and hearths to feed and nourish me in my life. I love feeling like I am visiting someone's family and sharing a meal together. This is how M's Kitchen felt for me! I am planning how many meals I can have here and who I can invite to experience the deliciousness soon! Please consider visiting! Even if you haven't tried Taiwanese food yet, this is a wonderful spot to start with!

I absolutely loved the crispy bottom layer because it added such a satisfying crunch to every bite. The inside stayed really juicy and flavorful with a good balance of pork, shrimp, and chives. The Juicy Pork Dumplings had soup inside, which was rich and savory. I've had soup dumplings before where the wrapper breaks apart too easily, but these held together nicely while still staying soft and delicate. The Wonton in Spicy Sauce was my personal favorite from the entire meal. The spicy sauce flavor was savory with a little sweetness. I'm typically not good with spice, so this is at a spice level that should be very manageable for everyone. I absolutely loved the spicy sauce, so I started putting it on everything. Definitely put the sauce on the chicken fried rice! The Chicken Fried Rice was a great dish to pair with everything else that we ordered. With several orders of entrees, a solid rice dish is a must order for any Chinese meal. The rice had a nice savory flavor that I enjoyed, and there was a generous amount of chicken mixed throughout the dish. I even asked the waitress if they do anything special with the fried rice because it tasted better than many other restaurants. It felt comforting and balanced compared to some of the heavier dishes. The Dry Fried String Beans were cooked perfectly with a slight crispness while still being tender. The garlic and seasoning gave them so much flavor that it honestly didn't even feel like I was eating vegetables. I do have to note that these were very much on the salty side, so if you don't like foods that are too salty, I would choose a different dish. The Orange Chicken was really crispy and juicy, which I appreciated because soggy orange chicken is always disappointing to me. The sauce had a nice citrus flavor while still keeping that classic sweet savory taste. The Spring Rolls were simple with vegetable filling on the inside with a crispy outside. I would try a different appetizer next time. The Kung Pao Shrimp was packed with flavor and had a really satisfying combination of textures. The shrimp were tender, and the peanuts added a great crunch to the dish. I thought the sauce had a really nice balance of spice and savoriness without becoming overwhelming. Another dish I really enjoyed was the Beef Roll Pancake. The pancake itself was nice and chewy throughout each bite. The sliced beef with green onions and sauce all wrapped together made every bite really flavorful and satisfying. For drinks, I ordered the Jasmine Milk Tea with Boba. I really liked that the jasmine tea flavor was noticeable instead of being overly sweet like some milk teas can be. The boba had a soft chewy texture, and the drink itself paired perfectly with the spicy and savory dishes from the meal.

The Signature filling has a good amount of meat and veggies. I prefer the Potstickers because I found the crunchy texture better suited with the filling. The Corn Chowder was okay, it had corn and pork in it. It was simple so there wasn't anything bad or good about it. The employees are very kind and helpful! I asked the employee in the front if he preferred the Signature or Kimchi, and he told me he recommended the Signature first to try it out. I am now interested in trying out the Kimchi version too. The restaurant is clean and has plenty of seating. There is seating indoor and outdoors, there are water cups near the register, and a sauce station on the left side of the counter. There's Sesame Oil, Black Vinegar, Garlic Sauce, and Soy Sauce. I prefer Garlic Sauce the best! The restaurant also gets pretty cold so maybe bring a light jacket. When I went to the restaurant, there was only one person in line ahead of me, and most people seem to order take out. I would come here again to try out the noodles and the Kimchi potstickers!!
