They sell hotpot stuff like meat (pork, lamb, beef), fish balls, soup base seasoning, hotpot sauces, and more. I absolutely love their beef brisket meat. Probably the only thing I always go back for time and time again. It's great for shabu shabu (hot pot) or KBBQ. It used to cost $30.99 but has increased to $31.99/3lbs recently. There are individual 1 lb containers available as well. The meat is super tender and WAAAAY better quality than even Costco's shabu shabu meat, which sells for $11.99/lb. Better and CHEAPER than Costco? Sign me up! They do have a $1 credit card transaction fee, so bring cash if you don't want to pay it.

Dipping it into the pickling is very good. One try is about $32 and that's better than paying for ayce and over stuffing yourself. I also tried her bulgogi and meat is more tender than say H mart bulgogi.

I have come here for the past year here and there. I am a vegetarian and I think that the food…read morereally is top-notch. Great place for vegans too. The service is also great. The lady who works cashier is super warm and kind. They have a station of baked Taiwanese treats ranging from savory to sweet! Low price too. Everything here is organic and vegetarian. So the price may be a little more to reflect that. But the quality here is outstanding. Their high-quality is tangible in their atmosphere.

I've been ordering to‑go from Heartland Café for a while now, and it never disappoints. It's…read moreawesome to have a spot like this in Walnut with really flavorful plant‑based dishes that don't feel heavy or greasy. The staff is always warm and friendly, and you can tell the food is made with quality ingredients. My go‑to is their Mapo Tofu to‑go. It's not really spicy and comes with veggies and rice. I also appreciate the organic and wholesome vibe of the store. They sell many Asian organic and nutritious products. Highly recommend stopping by or ordering to‑go if you're in the area!

3.5 stars I was in…read morethe area, waiting for a friend to arrive for lunch at Bonjuk and Bibimbap so I stopped by. The store has fully stocked shelves of goods from Taiwan. It was nice to see certain items that I had not seen in so long. The store is a bit on the smaller side, but whichever way you look, there's something for everyone. Goods are a bit pricier than most, but not many places sell goods directly from Taiwan. As others mentioned, it was very clean and have a good selection. There are plenty of parking near the store, especially since Big Lots has closed years ago.

It's been ages since I visited Taiwan but I do remember all the good food! The shop is tidy and they manage to pack a lot of items in here while still making it feel uncluttered. Some items they had for sale when I was here were various high grade oolong teas, the Taiwanese version of Otter Pops, pineapple cakes and soy sauce. They have a frozen section in addition to their shelf stable foods with items such as fish and various dumplings. While the cashier spoke both Mandarin and English, the person giving out samples of oolong teas only spoke Mandarin (In hindsight I should have asked if she spoke Taiwanese too). I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area to get more goodies for myself and as gifts.

Today I discovered this specialty meat shop, which has actually been open since January. I finally…read morestopped by to pick up some meat for our shabu-shabu this weekend, and I'm already excited to come back! Everything in the display case looked incredibly fresh and delicious. The owner recommended the thinly sliced Spanish pork, saying it's one of their best sellers because of its tender, chewy texture that keeps customers coming back for more. Of course, we had to give it a try! We also picked up some beef short rib rolls that looked amazing. I also noticed they carry a great selection of BBQ skewers, so that's definitely on my shopping list for next time. The shop itself is spotless, well-organized, and easy to browse. What really made the visit memorable was the owner--she was warm, welcoming, and took the time to explain the different cuts of meat and even shared details about an upcoming promotion on packaged steaks. I'm looking forward to trying everything this weekend, and I'll definitely be back to stock up again. Stay tuned for their steak promotion if you're a meat lover! Lastly, thank you for the mascot cutesy doll designed by the owner!!

I bought the: - Tofu pudding/dessert tofu/dou hua with brown sugar on the side - Delicious and silky! The brown sugar was light and added just enough sweetness to complement the tofu. - Taro buns (5 ct) - This is the best taro bun my family and I ever had. The breadskin is so light and fluffy. The taro paste filling was not overly dense nor sweet. You can really taste the taro in the filling. - Organic scallion buns (6 ct) - This is the best scallion bun my family and I ever had. We could taste the scallion flavor without it being too strong. The bun was a touch denser than the taro bun. - Meat and veggie buns - The meat and veggie filling was delicious and not too saltym. The veggies in the filling still has a crunch to them (unlike buns I've tried from other places). The bun itself was light and not too dense. - Unsweetened soy milk - The soy milk was light and the perfect consistency. It isn't thick or grainy like some other soy milks can be. - Tofu jerky - Flavorful, but not too salty. Great pairing with a bowl of rice! - Zongzi (Taiwanese style) - Delicious and light. Also not too salty or rich. The shop itself is small, but very clean and organized. The shop owner is so cute and enthusiastic about all of her products. She shared how to best store them since she doesn't use preservatives and how to heat them. There is a handwritten menu in Chinese on a board to the side of the refrigerated section. The refrigerator doors also had photos of the item with the name in English and Chinese, and the price. The non-refrigerated part of the store has shelves with sauces you could use to prepare/cook your tofu. Cash and credit cards (MasterCard and Visa) accepted, although there is a 5% charge for using credit card. They're located at the very end of Front St (dead end). They're in the brick building with no signage/store name. If the door is locked during the posted business hours, just ring the doorbell and the owner will open the door for you. Parking is shared with other shops on this street. With the flow of customers coming and going, I never had any issues finding a spot.

Once inside there is a white board with hand written menu of everything they offer. The menu is in Chinese with some English. I got the sweet soy milk and the tofu dessert. Both were phenomenal. You can really tell they make their soy products fresh in the factory next door. The shopkeeper is super sweet and offered bags of ice in case I had a long drive home. Overall fantastic spot to get some freshly made soy products - milk, tofu, everything made with tofu and some random things like frozen dumplings.
