I haven't been to Taiwan Best Mart since the pandemic and completely forgot about the place until I…read moredrove by today. I ordered the Bento Box to-go and it was ready in less than 10 min. Each Bento Box comes with purple rice, pickled mustard green (my fav), sautéed Taiwanese cabbage, and two daily side of your choice. You also get to pick the main dish, which I selected the stewed pork. For the sides, I went with original sausage and stewed egg. I'm trying to prioritize my protein whenever possible and they are protein friendly here. I appreciate the items were neatly arranged in the to-go Bento Box. I thoroughly enjoyed every items I have selected. It wasn't greasy and full of flavors. Besides Bento Boxes, they have noodles, soup, small bites and side dishes. I want to try the Taiwanese Fried Chicken next time. They also have a freezer full of dumplings, fish balls, sauces, cooked items and etc. for purchase. I got the Zha Jiang (pork meat sauce) that I can't wait to try on noodles. There are 4-5 tables to dine in if you preferred but I think this is more like a take-out spot.

The bento boxes offer 2 side dishes that you can pick from and the portions are a good amount. I got the Fried Chicken Bento box and eggplant & century egg/tofu as the side dish for $18. The fried chicken was tender and breading was light; was hoping for more crunch. This spot is solid but nothing crazy special about the dishes though.

I delivered, and all was available on time the food was not hot and did not require heating. The food is so very good and quite tasty and it has a lot of sauce so it is juicy to taste. The meat was exceedingly soft and the taste was rich and strong. This is not the first order that I got and the consistency was of the highest quality. The following day, when I warmed up the leftovers, there was no difference in the flavor and the feel of the meat everything was equally tasty. It is an actual case study of how to get quality food that is not disappointing in terms of quality. I will certainly suggest this meal to anyone who wants to have something very delicious and fulfilling. And should you have room, do not forget to add an egg it gives this dish a particular flavor!

I stumbled upon this place while looking for Taiwanese bentos for dinner as the place I usually…read morefrequent by 99 Ranch unexpectedly closed. However, I'm super happy I found this spot, since it is my new go-to for delicious Taiwanese food. Parking is limited, as it's located in a business park area of Pleasanton, and the restaurant itself is small. There are a few tables to dine in if you wish but the vast majority of people take their food to go. This place operates cafeteria style, where you choose your primary protein for your bento, and the sides are all laid out in front of you to choose from. You can pick up to 3 sides. You can just tell everything is made with care and all the ingredients are super fresh. The family speaks mandarin as well! Since it was my first time there, I took a look at what others were ordering and it seemed like one of the popular sides was the bean sprouts. They were indeed super refreshing! I went with the tofu for the second side and for the third side, I chose the braised egg for my husband and the eggplant for me. Both were excellent choices and the tofu was so good, and even had a bit of a kick. The bentos survived the drive home, traffic and all, and held up well in my insulated bag. The meats were tender and there was plenty of rice to soak up all that delectable sauce. My husband enjoyed his pork chop too. I can't wait to return to order some more bentos soon, and I'd definitely recommend Bentolicious for healthy, delicious, and filling bentos that are made with love!

My friend suggested me to go here and told me that they serve authentic Taiwanese bentos. I quite…read moreagree because when I tasted their food, it feels like something that you have during lunch and even at home. Nothing much about the atmosphere, but they do have seatings both indoor and outdoor. Preferable I wanted to stay outdoors since it's more spacious than inside. It was too many people when I arrived. It's even smaller inside. It seems that this place is mostly meant for takeout. Basically, you're given an entree of choice including rice and 3 other sides of your choice. I selected the Ichiban Fried Chicken. I think it's something I've been seeing from other Taiwanese restaurants. Is it popular in Taiwan? I think so, because it's really good! I also got three sides including tofu, eggplants, and steamed vegetables. They're really fresh and delicious when I had them. Rice is something too because it tastes better than the one we usually have at home. About the drinks, there weren't many options besides water, sodas, teas, and other beverages you can see from the refrigerator. That's alright, but I kinda wish they have specialty ones, which is something you can see from the menu. The cashier was very nice to us. He probably remembered one of the customers sitting outside, walked up to them, and gave them their order. He seems to be very accommodating. He even asked some people to leave from the patio since it's only reserved for customers. Anyways, I'm looking forward to trying more options when I come back. However because they have lunch breaks between 2pm-4:30pm, I most likely can't be visiting during weekdays since I do work and that they might close when I arrive. I'll try my best to return.

My husband and I were undergrad at Davis over a decade ago and when we were students, we both loved…read moreto go to the Taiwanese place in that multi story building on E Street. When we left Davis and came back, we were really sad that there were no more Taiwanese food options, because we both loved the pork chop and meat gravy over rice so much. That being said, when we realized, honey D was there, we figured we would try it. The store itself is quite small, think fast service Boba shop size. The decoration is fine, the place kept pretty clean, not much more to say about it. The service is also really good, the staff working was very polite and friendly, and it turns out the owner must've been in the shop because she delivered our food and asked us if we've ever eaten this food before and offered to help. We ordered the fried chicken with pork gravy over rice, the beef noodle soup, and the lemon tea. To be honest, the beef noodle soup is not my favorite. Although the meat looks like it was freshly cut, I found it to be quite tough. I also was not really a fan of the bra, but I know the broth is also up to personal taste. For myself personally, I think the one at Dah Bao is better, and I've had much better in the Bay Area and outside of the bay. That being said, we both really enjoyed the chicken and rice. It was such a nostalgic taste, and we felt like the serving size was great. The chicken itself was really crunchy, so I imagine their other fried chicken and popcorn chicken options are also delicious. The tea was also very refreshing and helped to wash the food down. We plan to come back and try more of their braised meat and rice dishes, despite being a little disappointed by the beef noodle soup.

I really like their rice plates, and the portions are big enough to share between two people. They offer a deal, if you order a rice plate, you can order certain drinks for $4.50. The chicken wings may not look like much, but they were crispy, not dry, and weren't overly salty. I was pretty full after eating, otherwise I definitely would've ordered dessert. I really like their tofu pudding desserts. They're not overly sweet and come with a good variety of toppings, including boba. There seemed to be only one person working the counter during my visit. She was taking orders, making drinks, and bringing out the food. Our drinks took a while, but the wait for the food wasn't too bad. This location is pretty small with only a few tables inside, so if it gets really busy, you may have to wait for a table to open up.

What started out as a successful pop-up is now a full-service eatery with a rotating menu of…read moreTaiwanese tapas. Good To Eat is dinner only from Wednesday -Saturday. The inside dining space is minimalistic but chic. You can also eat at the counter by the bar. Outdoor dining is plentiful, and with heat lamps and string lights it is a lively option. The restaurant's philosophy is to be inclusive and many of their staff are from the LGBTQ community. The staff were super friendly and service-focused when we were there, adding to our dining experience. As for the food, the Taiwanese dishes here do not adhere to a traditional recipe, but rather it is Taiwanese cuisine with a modern twist. The Lou Rou Fan, for example, does not feature a stewed egg or mustard greens that would be standard at other Taiwanese eateries. Those looking for stinky tofu would be disappointed in not finding it here. What we did tried, however, were more like upscaled Taiwanese flavor-inspired dishes. We started with the grilled whole squid with house side pickle, and the Dou Bao (layered tofu sheet). The squid was excellent with the smoky grilled taste and we loved the perfectly fermented Chinese kimchee. The Dou Bao was unique in that the tofu sheets were served grilled, rather than the chilled wet version I am used to. Following the server's recommendation, we had the bamboo shoots rice soup claypot, which was homey and large enough for sharing. We loved the Shrimp with Specialty Tofu Sauce Noodle. The tofu sauce was creamy and garlicky. The shrimps were fresh and crisp. Fried chicken is a Taiwanese specialty, and the Pepper Numbing Chicken Culet did not disappoint. The chicken was perfectly fried but the meat remained tender and moist. The Taiwanese sweet pepper numbing sauce was great over the fried chicken, and in fact, it is pretty much good over anything. The Taiwanese Minced-Pork Noodle is like a Dan Dan noodle, with fermented bean paste sourced from Taiwan. We were lucky that on our visit they have the Taiwanese Twins Donuts, which were like beignets, but made from sough naturally cultivated in house for 3 days. This was really yummy. You have to order the soft serves, which was named by SF Chronicle as one of the best soft serves in the Bay Area. We tried the black sesame oil with sea salt flakes, and also the plum sauce version. Both were delicious.

I haven't had T4 in ages and it tasted exactly how I expected. The flavor profile was there, but I feel like it could have more of that tea profile. I went 50/50 on my sweetness and ice level. The grass jelly wasn't as smooth as I wanted it to be, but I am very picky about how my grass jelly should feel texture wise. Still, not a bad drink. Overall, a simple and straightforward drink.
