My daughter found this restaurant on Yelp because of its high ratings and description of Taiwanese food. She wanted to try their braised pork rice. The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived, there were only a few tables. It's a small restaurant. The owner (I think) and waiter were both very welcoming and friendly. They gave us complimentary cups of chicken vegetable broth. We decided to try some items that we regularly order at other restaurants and some new items. Chicken vegetable broth: 5/5 - I thought this was the best dish we had. Very umami broth. Beef burrito appetizer: 3/5 - This is more commonly called a beef roll at most other restaurants. It was okay, they don't fry the wrapping like some other restaurants. Braised pork rice: 3/5 - Good portion size and reasonably priced. The flavors are less Taiwanese and more Shanghai. Braised beef noodle:3/5 - Compared to other beef noodles soups we've had this was just okay. Braised intestine rice noodle: 3.5/5 - they were nice enough to make mine without peppers. I enjoy intestines and wanted to try this dish. The owner suggested I have it with vinegar which I tried and after eating maybe a quarter of the dish I felt nauseous from the vinegar. The vinegar does enhance the dish but at the same time you can only have so much of it without feeling queasy. I would rate this place 3.5 rounded up to 4. Food wise I thought this place was just okay. But I really enjoyed the friendliness of the staff and might come back again in the future to try new dishes.
Brought my out of town guests here on a stop from a west coast cruise because, and I quote, "Janelle, there is NO good Asian food on the boat!" I let them order because this was to satisfy their cravings....and, they're Taiwanese that live abroad. We ordered salt & pepper spare ribs, rice cakes w/pork, pan fried dumplings, pigs feet, tendons, pig ear and to balance it out some sautéed garlic spinach. All the food was cooked authentically and my friends couldn't stop talking about how good it was. This restaurants aura is a relatively casual setting. Parking lot is tight, there's not a lot of it at street level. You can enter from the parking lot through a back door or you can enter from the street. They don't care, they are happy to see and serve you. The vibe was good. Yes, I'll e back to try all the other yummy Taiwanese dishes!
I went with friends to Luyixian in Alhambra and had a great experience eating their Chinese food! I was in the mood for 牛肉面 Beef Noodle Soup and got just that! Their noodles have a great chew, and a nice "Q" texture to them, and I loved every single bite of them. Their soup is a bit spicy, but thats my bad for asking for spicy. My party also got another order of 牛肉面 Beef Noodle Soup, and 卤肉饭 Braised Pork Rice, and shared a 空心菜 Hollow Vegetable Stir Fry. We finished everything before we left. Their portions are just perfect! Their prices are great for their portions as well, and everyone in my party table was happy with their order. Service is friendly, and our food was served in less than 5 minutes from ordering. it's a great spot if you are looking for a quick bite to eat if in a rush. They also handle a lot of take-out orders as well and are on the phone a lot. When you pass by the restaurant's sign on the street, just make a loop around to find the underground parking. It's a bit dark and you gotta climb the stairs up to find the restaurant entrance, but not too hard of a find. Their bathroom is gender neutral, large, and kept very clean, which i appreciated since we were on our way to the airport. Their 牛肉面 Beef Noodle Soup is delicious and I would definitely come back!
*4.5* Consistent rice plate Great flavor House made fresh chili on the side Had the pork rib platter, tender meat Cabbage on the side And Braised beef noodle soup Tasty broth Tender beef Good quantity of beef Recommend both dishes* More seating inside the building Parking lot garage available
I was on the lookout for a new place to get braised beef noodles from and found Luyixian. Upon arriving on a Sunday evening, we were able to get seated right away. They serve a small bowl of complimentary chicken feet soup for everyone. Another plus is that they have a clean public restroom. Food: It's $15.99 for a bowl of braised beef noodle. The soup is on the sweeter side. Noodles are bouncy and chewy. Beef is tender. I would say it's a solid beef noodle but I do prefer ones that aren't so sweet. The stir fry rice cakes were good too, no cons. Ambiance: No loud music, but there's a soft background noise from the television and you can hear stir fry noises from the woks in the kitchen. Service: Attentive and quick
Came here in search of the best beef noodle soup, but it was just alright. Here are my thoughts on the whole meal: -Spicy Beef Noodle Soup: The spice level was actually pretty mild in my opinion. I enjoyed the chewy noodles and the fact that they weren't doughy or thick. I think the broth starts you off with a good savory note but leans rather sweet with each sip. The chunks of beef were pretty tender and had nice areas with a bit of fatty trim. Nice crunchy baby bok choy as well. -Collagen Chicken Broth: This was given to us for free prior to the dishes we ordered. You could tell the bone broth was collagen-rich as it was cloudy and even came with one chicken foot for each serving. This came out hot and was very comforting. Much appreciated. The restaurant and parking: The parking lot is super small and seems to be shared with the neighboring businesses. We were able to find a spot in the back. It seems like the business has two doors so there's also an entrance in front. The restaurant has seating area immediately surrounding their counter, as well as additional tables inside their connected dining room. Service was pretty quick and attentive. Overall: Not bad but not outstanding. Still on the hunt for a more savory beef noodle soup.
Had came here for dinner on a "early" Friday evening. Why I had said "early" was because there was no other customer when we arrived at 630P. Had mildly got worried after being seated in the next room as it seemed like they had just opened or had not had business, despite the 4.5 star rating at almost 500 reviews. AFTER we had ordered and got food, was when the restaurant was getting BUSY ! ALL tables were full and the restaurant was ALIVE ! (thank god...) Guess we "beat" the rush or rather "beat" everyone .... We had ordered a few things to share family style PIG EARS WITH RED OIL - standard pig ears with red oil. Nice and crunchy. Good flavor. Weirdly 3rd to be served as its a cold appetizer dish. BRAISED PORK RICE - decent portion size with BIG pieces of brasied pork belly, whole braised egg (cut in half), preserved veggies, and a mountain of cooked cabbage along with a bowl of rice covered in the braising sauce. Pork belly was super tender, fatty, and flavorful. Different from the "traditional" lu rou fan but still delicious. Probably would've prefered this in a bowl vs a plate (if eating myself). BRAISED BEEF NOODLE - again decent portion size. Lots of meat chunks and slices. pretty flavorful. SICHUAN DAN DAN NOODLE - uses the same noodles as beef noodle but the weird thing to me is how "thin" the sauce is on this. ALMOST soupy so it doesn't really "cling" to the noodles that well. LOTS of WHOLE peanuts (vs usually crushed) FRIED RICE CAKE WITH SHREDDED PORK - this was kind of sad looking. MAINLY rice cake. MINIMAL "shredded pork" and veggies. Flavor was fine but just looked sad. Overall, was fine. Service attentive was a bit weird, even when they were empty. Had to poke head out of the room to flag them down, then they got busy. Parking probably would be a pain but luckily we beat the crowd and got a parking right outside the door. Quite a "hole in the wall" place. Restroom available for customers only by the entrance.
What a nice surprise! This is a little hole-in-the-wall that can seem unassuming from the exterior but don't let that fool you! Upon entering, we were seated immediately and given a free appetizer, some sort of chicken feet soup. We ended up ordering the pork trotters, spicy beef noodles and spicy braised pork rice. Pork trotters (4.5/5): The skin was tender and juicy. It was flavorful yet not too overwhelming. Highly recommend as an appetizer to share! Braised pork rice (4/5): The braised pork just melts in your mouth! The sauce on the rice pairs well with the meat Spicy beef noodles (5/5): Definitely the star of the show! There was a decent amount of protein, the broth was savory and not too heavy. It's not very spicy, just a tad numbing akin to Szechuan style dishes. This is a must order on your first time here! Overall, I really enjoyed this experience and would recommend to those in the area looking to get some good Chinese food with tremendous value !
We love an authentic hole in the wall! My friend and I came here on a Thursday evening, and didn't have to wait at all. The restaurant itself is intimate, but never felt tight or stuffy. They bring you some chicken feet soup right away, which I personally loveeeed so much. We ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup - mine was normal, and his was spicy. Also some braised pig feet ("braised pork trotters" on the menu) to share. The braised pork feet were delicious! Perfectly marinated, soft and tender but still bouncy. Each bite reminded me of my childhood. The beef noodle soup was also exceptional, probably the best broth I've had in LA for this particular dish. I also tasted a bit of the spicy version, and it was very mild (in a good way for me) - on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd rate the spiciness level at 1. The meat was very tender too, and portion sizes were great. The server was kind enough to refill my soup before packing my leftovers to-go! I would def come back here! A small designated parking lot is located in the back.
Solid affordable Chinese Restaurant known for their delicious braised beef noodles! I came here back in January evening for dinner with a group of friends. This place did not disappoint. The staff are all Chinese and very friendly. Be aware that you may see the managers dog chilling outside (don't worry he's friendly). Restaurant feels small inside but there's lots of seating. The braised beef noodle soup was under $20 and was very filling and flavorful. Excellent value. Overall I'd give this place a 8.5/10. Definitely stop by if you're in the area and looking for some authentic Chinese noodles. They also have lots of spicy dishes and other Chinese dishes that look very delicious.
I've been yearning for a good beef noodle soup and braised pork with rice for quite some time. Really since Guppies went out of business in the early 2010s. Of course, there's plenty of places that sell this in the San Gabriel Valley but I never actively searched for it. But after being able to spend more time in the SGV lately I knew I had to quell this desire somehow and luckily Luyixian fulfills all my taste desires. Well, almost. If they had popcorn chicken it would really take me back, but I digress. - Parking and Interior - Let's start off with the parking and dining space. Parking here is tight as it's a courtyard for the multiple businesses located in this somewhat shopping plaza. There is an underground parking space as well but it can feel a little hectic when it is busy. Inside the restaurant you'll either enter a tiny hallway to the dining space or the front glass door located on the street. Inside is quite small but you can see they expanded their dining room space by utilizing a different part of the building. However, when you sit in the main part of the restaurant it feels like the tiny, cozy locations you would expect in Taiwan. - Service - The great thing about Chinese/Taiwanese food is how quickly you get your food. When you sit down and are ready to order you flag down your server and order off the menu. After you do so you'll receive a soup/broth to enjoy before your meal comes out, which usually only takes about 6-10 minutes before your food appears hot and ready to go. - Food - Luyixian is specifically known for their braised pork and rice along with their beef noodle soup. We tried both and they were fantastic. The braised pork with rice comes with a slightly pickled cabbage, what I think is a tea egg, and pickled mustard greens. The pork is cooked so well it melts on your chopsticks. The flavor is robust with a slight sweetness to the deep savoriness infused in each bite. When paired with rice and the sourness of the pickled vegetables you get a well balanced spoonful. The beef noodle is similar in texture to the braised pork in the fact the meat is super tender and easily falls apart in your mouth. The soup leans more towards the sweet side but never falls into feeling like a dessert. Also, they give you so much beef with these noodles I ended up with a good amount of beef still available even after I finished the noodles. That's some generosity. We also tried the garlic cucumbers which had a nice crunch with each bite and a slightly sour, savory flavor with each bite which bursted with brightness from the natural flavor of the cucumbers. It is a clean dish to have to cut through a meal that might fall into too heavy. The red chili oil dumplings were also ordered. I wish I could rave about it but what I'd say is they are dumplings and there is red chili oil pooled at the bottom of the bowl. If you don't order this you won't be missing anything. - Final Thoughts - I had a great time at Luyixian and I'm glad I was able to come here for dinner after a long day of work. This is an easy restaurant to go to without reservations and just to enjoy a tasty meal. It isn't elaborate or fancy but you will leave satisfied and happy. For casual, tasty food with no frills, Luyixian is a perfect restaurant to dine at.
What a great place! Parking was a little tricky, so I ended up parking on the street, but it was totally worth it. The staff was very friendly as soon as I walked in. I had heard a lot about the #44 (now the #42), and wow what an amazing plate! It's so colorful, and once you take a bite, the flavors are incredible. A must try. I also ordered the spicy braised beef noodle, which was packed with flavor and generous portions of beef. Unlike many places where the broth is overly salty, this one was perfectly balanced. You should definitely check this place out well worth it. You're welcome!

Stopped by here after a round of Golf. Had this place bookmarked after watching a foodie on IG recommended for too beef noodles in SoCal. Man it did not disappoint. The Spicy Beef Noodles hot the spot. Noodles are yummy with nice consistency, broth is flavorful and a nice amount of spice. Also had their Red Oil Dumplings also fire. Flavorful, fresh, and the chili oil and peanuts ties it together. Place is small, fee tables in shopping center with limited parking. Staff was nice, but does look like most of their cliental are locals and usually chinese speakers. Either way def recommend this place if you are craving for some spicy beef noodles. read more
Ordered the braised pork rice and the braised pig trotter noodle soup with a side of vegetables with mushroom to share. Food was decent and delicious. The braised pork rice comes with a bowl of soup. The chopped chilis really add some spice to the meal. Would recommend looking for something quick to eat. One thing that I have to say is the parking space is very small. There is underground parking but the layout is pretty strange. And after you are done eating your meal, there is no passcode provided to open the door to the stairs leading to the underground parking. Good thing there was a group of 3 people standing nearby and one of them helped us open door. A bit strange but it was ok, otherwise you would have to walk down the area where the cars go in leading to the underground parking. read more

We ordered the braised pig trotter with chopped chilis over rice, braised beef noodles, and tofu skin with cilantro to share. Our favorite was the braised beef noodles--the beef was very tender, the noodles had a great chew, and the broth was full of flavor. Star anise was the dominant note in the broth, which we enjoyed, though it might be a bit strong for some. Service was professional and efficient. Parking was manageable in the ground-level lot, though the spaces were a bit tight. FYI there's additional underground parking as well. read more

I enjoyed my dinner. First time here. The place is small but cozy and comfortable. It felt like a private nook. The waitress and other staff were friendly. I ordered a few things: vinegar potatoes, peanuts, quail eggs, green tea, pork belly with rice, and spicy beef soup. I liked everything, and the portions are good. I enjoyed the potatoes; they were warm with a perfect chew and tangy flavor. The quail eggs were lovely, poppable bites - I like quail eggs because they are mostly yolk. The pork belly was very tender. The green tea was fragrant with jasmine, so lovely. Nice little place. read more

I liked the braised beef most, a solid hearty flavor and melty meat. Napa cabbage and mushroom (actually bok choy) next with great garlic flavors. Braised pork was good but I felt the beef had a slightly better flavor and texture. Hainan chicken is pretty similar to other places but without lemon grass rice (pretty much everything came with same rice and sides) Taro drink was from a mix. Parking underneath. May not speak English so can point or Google translate. Kind trendy music and space and Taiwanish read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem in Alhambra. I ordered their pork and rice lu rou fan and beef noodle soup and it was so delicious. The pork was super tender and flavorful. The soup was also very flavorful and portions are big. They also gave free chicken soup which was nice. The store was pretty small and service was great. I'd definitely come back! read more
One of my new favorite restaurants in the SGV. We walked in on a weekend around dinner time and there was no wait. Ordered Pork intestine noodle soup, pork elbow rice, and quail eggs. Everything was perfectly braised, so delicious, and so affordable. As a cabbage hater, even I loved the cabbage in the pork elbow rice. I can't wait to come back! read more

Been meaning to try this place for some time and finally did. It took over old country cafe spot. IYKYK. Parking is limited, but there is underground parking, but i've always been lucky enough to park upstairs. Small hole in the wall joint but pleasantly surprised with the food. ordered 3 items and will be back to try other dishes. spicy and sour noodle rice noodle soup, not spicy but decent flavor, wish they did a dry version of this. cumin lamb over rice, had to question this one cuz it tasted and looked like beef, but after eating it some more, it was indeed lamb. Wish it had more cumin flavor and it was just the lamb w/ no rice, but that's only cuz i don't really eat rice :) house special boiled fish was probably my favorite cuz there was clear noodles inside! pleasantly surprised with the addition of dong fen, my fav! and also it wasn't as oily as other places and did not have the pepper corns that we usually pick out. read more
a hearty meal with a generous portion! the braised pork noodle soup was very soothing and they gave so much that the amount i left was enough for another meal. i want to come back to try their braised pork with rice as i heard it was also very delicious. another plus was their clean bathroom! read more
We got the house special braised beef noodles and the braised pork rice to go. We were a little worried about the noodles because they typically dont transport well when ordered togo but we were wrong. The packing was done very well. The soup was also separate from the noodles. The beef chunks were packed with the soup. I was worried about microwaving plastic so I put the soup into a pot and boiled it. Then I poured it into the noodles that I placed into a ceramic bowl. Overall it was delicious. The braised pork rice was really good too. They give you soup yo drink in a separate cup which I found to be a nice added touch. Service was very fast. Overall I recommend this spot and will be planning to come back in the future. read more
I was craving beef soup, so found this place on yelp. We had braised beef soup, the soup was good, but wasn't that great. The restaurant is cute small, the parking is very small. We saw one car scratched of its one side really bad, as he was trying to turn into the parking space. read more

This place was excellent. I've been here twice and have tried a few things. Beef noodle soup: 7/10. Good. Beef is tender. The soup is good and the noodles are cooked nicely. That said, the soup still could do with a bit more flavor. There is a better dish, so this would not my choice here. If I wanted beef noodle soup, I would go elsewhere. Braised pork with rice: 9/10. Extremely tender braised pork. It's very soft and the flavor is very good, but not too complex. I appreciate that it comes with a fair amount of vegetables and that it also comes with egg. For the amount of meat this gives you, it's a solid value. House special boiled fish filet: 8/10. Good flavor but definitely a bit too heavy on the chili oil. It would've benefited more from less oil. Parking was easy when we went but there's usually hardly any parking here so we definitely got lucky. It's a very casual environment, and service is friendly. I like the people here. I was surprised but this place is larger than I expected since there's another room. read more

Came back here and tried the wonton soup. It was excellent! I love my flavors light and delicate, and that's exactly what it was. The wontons were generous in size, with a solid amount of filling (the skin was a bit thicker than expected, but still great) and what impressed me the most was the delicate soup. Had a slight amount of kelp mixed in, which added to the flavor. So good! Also got the empty heart, vegetables, which were excellent! Not too oily, and seasoned well. Other things that we got that I felt were decent, but probably wouldn't re-order. The fish and pickled vegetable soup, the portions were huge, and the flavor of the soup was actually really good, but unfortunately, the tilapia just wasn't the freshest tasting, unfortunately. This might also be the fact that I'm just not a huge fan of tilapia in general, especially in soup. Got the pork, knuckles, too, great portion size. Overall, pretty decent, but slightly over flavored on the star anise and honestly just a bit overly tender Would love to come back and see if it's possible to get vermicelli added to this. Great service, very fast, and great value! read more

Was trying to find a place for lunch on a random weekday. This place is excellent. Give the small hole in the wall vibe but inside is pretty spacious and clean. Staff is friendly and the food is excellent. I will say parking can be difficult but that shouldn't surprise anyone in the area. Small underground lot if you can't find anything upstairs Had the braised beef plate. Big portions, tasty and well braised beef. Veggies on the side were on the saltier side for my liking, but overall I'd get it again. Got the beef noodle soup as well. I thought the broth could be a littler more "rich", on the lighter side than I usually like it. Not pictured but also tried the pork spare rib noodle soup. The spare ribs were tasty and fell off the bone. Overall enjoyed the food and staff. Would come back again to try some other dishes like the braised pork read more
Parking: There is a tiny parking lot with underground parking in the plaza. It is a very old plaza so the parking spots are very small (for cars from the 90s). Parking can get difficult later in the day. Interior: The restaurant is rather spacious. There were plenty of seats available when I arrived at 12 pm on a Saturday. Everything was pretty clean. Service: The waitress was friendly and the food came out pretty quickly. Food: I ordered the braised pork rice. It was pretty good. They used actual pork chopped into small pieces rather than minced meat like most places. The meat was tender and not overly salty or oily. Overall it was a decent meal but a bit pricey for what would be considered street food. It is still worth trying if you like braised food. read more

Luyixian Beef Noodle was so good. The pork knuckle was very tender and juicy, and the braised pork was super flavorful. The servers are always friendly, and the interior is nice and clean. Definitely a place I keep coming back to. read more
I've been curious to try Lu Yi Xian for a while and finally convinced my mom to join me! I think that overall, their food is good...though I'll probably stick to their noodles or rice dishes and appetizers. -Their Spicy Beef Noodles does have a stronger Chinese gingseng-herbal taste mixed in, but I was fine with it. Their noodles seem to be made in-house and were very "cue"! -Their garlic cucumber was a nice palate cleanser for all the spice and seasoned well (a little salty, a little sour & definitely garlicky). -Their Pig Ears in Red Oil was good, definitely has a kick that builds, seasoned well (though my mom & I would probably prefer a little less sugar). -Mom also wanted to try their Sichuan DanDan Noodles, which is also spicy...I thought again the in-house made noodles were good, but the seasoning was just okay as I feel I've had better dandan noodles elsewhere... -Anyway, my only gripe may be with their stir-fry dishes because their KongPao Chicken was too sweet, it didn't taste like it should. But I think I will come back for the appetizers and to try other noodle dishes! This took over the former Old Country Cafe, which my mom and I have fond nostalgia for. The interior is pretty much the same. One unisex bathroom by the entrance (which is in the back through the parking lot). Parking lot is a bit cramped, especially if you go to lower level. Service was fairly quick & prices were reasonable. Didn't get pictures for ALL of our dishes, only some, because I was hungry, lol...next time! read more

Our party came in around 8:45pm on a Saturday night. It looked like we came in from the back because the workers looked a little surprised to see us. However, our party of 3 got seated quickly. On first glance, it was crowded. All the tables were taken so I'd say we were lucky to have gotten a table. As we were eating, it seemed that as soon as someone left, another person came. After looking through the menu we decided to get 2 dishes to share and we knew we wanted to get noodles. After looking around, it looked like the other parties did too. We were served some soup as a starter and I never got the name nor did I finish it. Based on the waitress's recommendations, we got the braised pork rice noodles with chopped pepper and the braised need brisket noodles. Our dishes came out quick and hot. I must say the portions were generous. For both of them, the meat was tender and flavorful and the noodles were al dente. We were running low on the broth for one of our soups and after asking if we could get some more broth, one worker was nice to bring us a small bowl to refill it just a bit. read more

Tried out this little place for dinner and it wasn't too busy and we were able to be seated right away. This spot is super low key casual and feels like eating at your aunt's home (especially the door to the second dining area). The servers were kind enough to bring us water with large cups so you don't have to keep pouring/filling. FOOD: We ordered the Braised Pork Rice dish with peppers and Braised Beef Noodles soup. I will say that the flavors were not as salty as other places I've had, but flavors were not as strong as I'd have liked. - The beef chunks in the noodle soup were on the tough side but the noodles were soft and soup was pretty tasty. - The pork cubes with rice was pretty tasty as well. The dish came with a small bowl of soup. Parking: The lot on site is shared with other establishments so during rush hour it can get pretty packed. But there is an underground parking lot where more spaces can be found. read more

This was by far the best meal I've had in months and yet one of the most cost efficient too. Complimentary chicken feet soup was light yet flavorful, and the beef noodle soup is my new favorite; I enjoyed it even more than Dai Ho's version. My mouth is watering just thinking about coming back. The exterior of the place is very unassuming, which is why after years of living here I've managed to miss it. Restaurant is small but very clean and the service was impeccable. read more
Think I had originally bookmarked this place after seeing it in the LA Times or LA Magazine, can't recall the exact one but makes sense why it was in there! It's a modest place in terms of size and decor but makes up for it with flavor. I got the cold jellyfish appetizer--yes--I need as much collagen as I can get. Botox is expensive these days! The hainan chicken was delicious and I always rate hainan chicken not specifically on the chicken itself but the caliber of the dipping sauces which they knocked it out of the park. Next visit I want to try the braised gluten that I just saw someone post! No idea how I missed that because that totally would have ended up in my order as well. Oh, they also embody efficiency. No waiting around. Less than two minutes of sitting down and someone was at my table taking my order. read more

This place is a gem. The food is delicious, the staff friendly and attentive (but not too attentive), and the portions are big enough for two (meals or people) Don't be intimidated by the location in the dark depths of a nondescript mini mall. You might be the only diners there if its a weeknight but the vibe is good theres no weirdness at all The kid (now a man, wow where did the time go!?) had the beef soup and i had the seafood soup (chinese chigge, pretty much) Both tasted great. When we go back i will update with whatever we try. This place is a 'must try' for sure. read more
Picked up 2 beef noodle soups for take out. They open until 11pm which was a plus. They were busy even at 9pm when I was there to pick up my orders. I ordered one spicy and one non spicy beef noodle soups. They looked the same except they just added some chilling peppers on top. Both dishes were delicious and flavorful. The beef was tender and the noodle was firm. We will definitely come back again. Friendly service. read more

Was excited to try Luyixian from the stellar reviews, but was very disappointed. We got the shrimp noodles, but it had 3 pieces of small shrimp and was not satisfying at all. It didn't seem freshly made and was drowning in sauce. Don't think I'll be back :( read more

We got the braised pork dish and beef noodle soup. The braised pork dish was ok but their beef noodle soup is definitely one of the best! Even better than the ones I've had in Taiwan! We ordered the spicy version and requested it mild so it had a nice little kick to it. The place is not that big and some parts of the restaurant may not be wheelchair friendly, but service was good and they were very accommodating with my handicapped friend. read more

I came here for a quick meal and was seriously impressed. The food tastes authentic, portions are generous, and everything was cooked with care. I ordered the beef noodle soup and the braised pork elbow rice plate, and both dishes were excellent. Beef Noodle Soup: The broth was rich and flavorful with that classic Taiwanese depth. The noodles were perfectly chewy, and the beef chunks were tender and juicy. Definitely one of the better beef noodle soups I've had in the area. Braised Pork Elbow Rice Plate: The pork elbow was incredibly tender and full of flavor--melt-in-your-mouth and perfectly braised. The plate came with cabbage, pickled veggies, a marinated egg, and a big serving of rice. Everything paired together really well, and the seasoning was on point. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, and the food came out fast. If you're craving Taiwanese comfort food, this spot is a must-try. I'll definitely be back! read more
