That was an amazing meal! I'm going to be dreaming about it for days . The server was super helpful, shared with us all the ins and ours of the menu and really made us feel at home. This cute cafe had people come through the entire hour we were there. We shared 2 orders or Crab Rangoon that was super flavorful. Then 3 of us shared the following and we left with sooooooo much, the portions are amazing: - Wonton Noodle Soup, I could eat this on repeat with their house made chili oil. (My favorite bite! ) - Popcorn Chicken (the deep fried basil was a new experience that I needed) - The Fried Chicken Rice, this was so good. Our vegetarian had the Tomatoe Sauce Rice with Tofu instead of chicken, she loved it. We had a few Passion Fruit Green Teas with coconut jelly lychee and a lychee Lemonade and that Lemonade was the star, it was everyone's favorite. This is down the street from Keck USC and will be right back here on our next visit. 10/10. read more

I rarely, practically never write reviews. BUT, this cafe is too good not to review. I ordered the spicy wontons and fried chicken. They were well seasoned and well cooked. It tasted like a home cooked meal made by someone's mom. The guava black tea was great as well. I was too hungry and excited to take pictures this time. read more

:crying emoji: you guys. I'm Taiwanese from my mom's side. I live in the neighborhood. Why it did take my Salvadoran neighbors telling me about this spot for me to realize Im so late to supporting my paisanas here? This used to be a mid pho place but the new owners said they moved here 2 years ago! The guilt is real. When I walked in they greeted me like my tias would have, no hesitation and in my native language (mandarin with a Taiwanese accent). The food here is like a restaurant version of what you'd have at someone's house it's just a little more spiced than what my family would make because salt is bad for you blah blah but it tastes good to me and the decor awakens an ancient nostalgia. It's homey the vibes kinda like Otomisan if you know what that is but also more "unfussy" to use a google word. I'll definitely be coming back cuz I felt like a kid who hasn't called home when I left and she asked if I was a local cuz she hasn't met that many overseas Taiwanese in the neighborhood. But enough about Asians you should just go try this place it's like teleporting into Taiwan in 2000 without needing a plane ticket or a time machine. It's the homie's version of pine and crane without the hipster prices and also shoutout to the other reviewer who name dropped p-p pop, the nearest other Taiwanese restaurant if you want to explore more of the cuisine. Thanks for reading! read more

Walked in and I was only glanced at; no welcome greeting or any other accommodating gestures. I continued to have a seat close enough to the only source of fresh air they had running at the time which was a floor fan, fine. I mentioned to the hostess the place was a tad bit warm and she then proceeded to run the air conditioning which was nice. I sat there for several minutes glancing at the hostesses every other minute and so and still no service. Finally I stood. I mentioned to the hostess I'd be leaving a negative review and she finally came around from behind the corner and tried to persuade me to stay. Bad business I'd say skip. read more

I absolutely love this place. It is a gem. I found it one rainy day looking for some close-by Asian cuisine and let me tell you this place does not disappoint. The menu is small so you know they do what they do good or shall I say great. I love the sisters that own the spot. They are very kind, attentive and even let me bring my bicycle in so I didn't have to watch it outside. The space is small, but it has a familiar feeling. You feel as though you are about to eat someone's families best dish. This is the yellow curry. It is some of the best curry I've had, especially so close to home. This time I got the passionfruit green tea and after the last few hot days we've had, so refreshing. I've also ordered the rose lychee green tea, and it's amazing! I recommend and will definitely be back! read more

This is another hidden but in your face gem in Boyle hts. It's in State street before the 101 and 10 fwy entrances just south of General hospital. Yes you pass by it all the time. Look for the ceramic cartoon characters just outside the door of this palace of great Asian on Asian fusion cafe. The service could not be better. The owner is always there with a smile and great vibes. The food is delicious in great portions. My favorites are the cold noodles and yellow curry. Parking is a small challenge but worth it. read more

Always the best service , food and super cozy place with some of the best food from Taiwan , fully recommend read more

Joining the rice was a side of pickled veggies. Also great! Lastly I got an order of their veggie spring rolls. Very tasty and the sweet dipping sauce being a highlight. Looking forward to coming back! Affordable meals with great portions :) Service was great as well. read more

The authentic Taiwanese foods. Love their spicy wonton and was delicious. Shall try others when I come back. I saw this place while going to a nearby pharmacy and popped in to try a small dish and what a great idea was it. Service is great. Place is clean and well maintained and organized. Shall be back. Highly recommend trying read more

Very unassuming spot. Seems like a lady and her run run the spot by themselves in a very home-esque kitchen. They did mention you can park in the empty unpaved lot across the street. Very Taiwanese centric and surprisingly delicious. We were the only people in for weekday dinner. Before we were in the ladies were mostly sitting at a table with no A/C on, but after we said we were dining in, they gladly closed the front door and turned on the wall mounted A/C units. We ordered the pork chop rice and popcorn chicken. The pork chop was legitimately the softest most tender pork chop I've ever tasted. And it tasted perfectly like the salt and white pepper offerings from Taiwan. The rice provided also had pork belly mixed in it. The popcorn chicken was more similar to Japanese kaarage in size, but still had that classic white pepper and salt flavor. All in all, a great little takeout spot with limited offerings but really provides that authentic Taiwanese taste. read more

I'm giving this place a 5 star mainly because I'm biased and want a good sit down location within walking distance of where I work. Plus it's Taiwanese food and I give them props for placing themselves in this area. So service was great - they accommodated me by taking a phone order and preparing the food for my group to eat there (we are limited on lunch time). Our group had the popcorn chicken, spicy wonton, beef noodle soup, pork chop rice, and the Thai curry (chicken). All the foods were a solid 4. Is it PP PoP? - no, but it doesn't aim to be. They intentionally aimed to offer a touch of fusion given their food background (SE Asian) to broaden their reach in this neighborhood. I'm actually surprised and pleased they offer one thousand year old egg + tofu. Bottom line is - I would come back to eat here and make it part of my lunch rotation when looking for places to eat near work. read more

this place is a MUST try thai/Taiwanese spot in the area. my friend stumbled upon this place when searching for a lunch spot in the area and it did not disappoint. food: 10/10 I ordered their thai coconut curry with chicken and it was delicious! I saw so many reviews of this dish when looking through their photos and it did not disappoint. the rest of the table ordered their beef noodle soup, pork chop rice, and hot and spicy chicken and we only had good things to report. we also ordered their thai tea and lychee lemonade and once again, they were very tasty. service: the service is amazing!! we were the only party when we sat down and the staff was very attentive and sweet. our waitress was attentive to our requests and everything was brought out in a timely manner. 4/5 of us ordered a drink and she gave us a complimentary drink from her secret menu! street parking is available around the neighborhood read more

Pork Chop Rice was delectable. The pork chop was savory and sweet creating a great balance with the minced beef over rice. Pickled veggies are a great palate cleanser that allow a perfect bite everytime. Staff was super attentive and would even walk us through what their take on food entailed. Absolutely worth a try if youre in the area. read more

Service is good, food is delicious. We ordered spicy wonton, hot n spicy fried chicken rice, and spicy pork liver on Shao-zi noodle. I love the spicy pork liver on Shao-zi noodle. I will definitely come back. read more

We are always looking for new places in our area for our lunches and this is one of the best finds in the last few years! I've tried nearly everything on the menu by this point and everything has been great! Marsha is your host and she spoils everyone who walks in with her smile and positivity. Family owned and operated and very authentic Taiwanese recipes! My faves in no particular order: cold noodle salad (!), minced pork noodle bowl, popcorn chicken, Thai curry, crab rangoons, egg rolls, beef noodle soup, won ton soup, chicken soup... you get the idea. Great beverages too! Everything is made fresh and portions are large but not excessive. Exceptionally affordable too! Don't miss out! read more

This place has been replaced by a new owner. I believe they're selling Asian fusion now. My family and I have tried the food. I ordered the Fried Pork Chop Rice that one likes taiwanese style and I like that nothing goes wrong with it . My husband had the tomato sauce rice with shrimp. That one it's sooo good, especially for the flavor, we have never had that before! My daughter had the house cold noodles that were great. The combination of all the veggies and sweet n sour sauce it's really good for the hot weather out there. We also got the side dish, the spicy wonton which has added bean sprout at the bottom when eaten with the wonton that will bring up the crunchiness that's really good as well. The lady serving us was nice and patient to explain everything we asked. This place is like a hidden gem at that corner, nice and clean. read more

Overall: Fantastic place for lunch. Service and food is consistently great. Good sized portions that will leave you satisfied. Food: Have gotten the beef noodle soup multiple times. Every time I have had it, it has been the same great comforting taste (savory, not too salty or sweet), chewy noodles, a healthy portion of tender beef, and plenty of vegetables. The fried porkchop has plenty of juicy pork that is well seasoned with white pepper. Goes great with the rice topped with a fried egg, broccoli, and pickled veggies. Popcorn chicken and spicy wontons are great dishes to share. Their drinks are made fresh. Try the strawberry lemonade with fresh cut strawberries and just the right amount of sweetness and tanginess. Service: Marsha is super nice. Very attentive and really cares about the food and your experience. They are also very fast and will take phone orders. If you are in a rush, you can rely on this place to get something comforting to eat. read more

Easy 5 stars for this gem of a place. Sis is for sisters. Marsha in service and Bibi in the kitchen. Originally I was thinking it was a Thai place but it is Taiwanese! So delicious, well served portions and fresh ingredients. Totally feels home made and I come here at least once a week. My favorite dishes are the cold salad, the chicken soup and the spicy liver. read more

This place has become one of my go-to's for Taiwanese cafe classics. The pork chop and fried chicken rice plates are amazing and consistently with a large portion on my visits. The chili crisp topping also seems to be homemade with an awesome nutty sweetness you don't get with Lao gan ma. The popcorn chicken is legit with the right amount of spice, fried basil, and crunch. Recently went with friends and got the tofu with thousand year egg which was a great app on a hot day. The best part is none of these dishes don't break the bank and don't have a heavy greasiness about them like the American Chinese places nearby. The ice teas are also nice, light, and refreshing. For me, this places fills a sorely needed spot in the food scene in the area, and I hope they succeed! read more

This place is super yummy and the food is so comforting for a Taiwanese gal like me. I'm so happy that there is quality Taiwanese food in Boyle Heights! The owner Marcia is extremely friendly and thoughtful. They used to own a restaurant in Taiwan. Their beef noodle soup is my favorite. My friends said their other dishes are excellent too so I can't wait to go back to try more dishes! Oh and the drinks are also tasty and she can adjust the sweetness level for you. Let's support this nice neighborhood business! read more

Omg please do yourself a favor and come here and order anything. We came on Sunday and when I said I'd like to return sometime my partner said he'd been thinking about the spicy wontons and the fried chicken rice for the last two days. We already want to be regulars here!! Worth every second and penny to spend a meal here read more

What an amazing place! I've had a lot of Taiwanese food and this place is def authentic. Had the pork cutlet dish and beef noodle soup - so delicious. The spice is on point. Decoration inside is adorable. Service is friendly and unrushed. They sell homemade chili oil- so delicious and I bought out the entire stock. It was Halloween when we went and they even gave out free chocolate and candy! read more

My favorite restaurant close to home. At this point I've tried everything on the menu and it's just so delicious! We always feel welcome and at home. Definitely recommend it. Try one of their boba drinks, you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

I love it here!! The bean bing and spicy fried chicken bento are my favorites (they both fulfill crunchy crispy fried thing with spicy acidic addictive sauce. Amazing combo). The only other place I have seen or had the spicy fried chicken bento is in Thai restaurants in Taiwan so I was elated to know that SIS serves it. The bean bing I have never had anywhere else, but the owner says it's a Burmese dish. It's a ground bean based fritter, softer and somewhat sweeter than a falafel. I could eat them every day. Their other dishes are super solid as well - cold noodle, pork rice, popcorn chicken, beef noodle!! They really care about the quality of their food and boba too! Really reasonable prices and bug portions. Parking available across the street. read more

Ordered here for the first time after getting high compliments from a coworker. Tried the fried chicken rice plate, which was delicious! Good flavor and tender chicken, loved the side vegetables (broccoli, carrot, thin crunchy potato slices), enjoyed the pork and sauce over the rice, and loved that there was a well cooked egg on top. Also tried the deep fried vegetable spring roll, which was decent. Sauce was a little interesting but not bad. Very crispy and flavorful. Guava black tea had an interesting taste to it, so probably wouldn't order again. Spicy wontons had a good amount of spice, good portion, and good toppings (cilantro, green onion, peanut, and crispy shallots). Order was ready and delivered within 25 minutes via DoorDash. Decently priced food. Would go back again for the fried chicken rice plate and spicy wontons! read more

Tried the Hot n Spice fried Chicken Rice and really enjoyed it! The chicken was crispy and juicy, with just the right amount of numbing spice. The seasoning was flavorful without being too overpowering, and the rice soaked up all the sauce perfectly. Definitely a great choice if you love a bit of heat! Will be back for this again. read more
