My companion was craving fan tuan. I had never had it before, and with his cravings, I wanted to take us to get it. We found Taiwanese Eats on Yelp and knew we had to go. They operate as a ghost kitchen. It's on a random side street and easy to pass by. I recommend ordering ahead. We chose to order there, and it didn't take long. You scan the QR code outside and wait for them to call your name. There isn't anywhere to sit, so you stand outside and wait. Our food came out pretty fast, and we ate it in the car. We got the Purple Sticky Rice Ross with Pork Floss, Purple Sticky Rice Ross with Braised Pork, and Taiwanese Tempura. I really enjoyed my braised pork fan tuan. It was flavorful, savory, and I enjoyed all the textures. I liked my companions as well. He initially thought the size was a bit small, but we were full after eating it. The tempura was like a fried fish cake--peppery and chewy. I would order both again! If you like fan tuan or want to try it, I recommend visiting Taiwanese Eats. This was the first time I had it, so I had nothing to compare it to, but I enjoyed it! Parking can be difficult since it's street-only, but you can find parking off MacArthur Ave. read more

Take out only!! Order through a QR code that is posted on the wall. This building is shared among other ghost kitchens and situated close to body shops so parking will be tricky. We received our orders within 15mins of ordering, so it's a HUGE plus. Chicken curry bowl - Generous pieces of chicken that were SO tender. Curry tasted more like tandoori and def had a nice kick to it. Fried chicken breast - Smelled and tasted so delicious. We loved the ratio between breading and chicken breast. Again, super tender to eat. Burrito with swordfish floss - Yes! There were 2 boiled eggs, Chinese donuts, and a TON of floss. Purple sticky rice was the perfect texture too. Soy milk was good but black bean one was a bit bland. read more

I've been looking for a place that makes fantuan with purple sticky rice, and Taiwanese Eats is one of the few spots I've found that comes pretty close to how you'd normally order it in Taiwan. A few things to know before you go: Parking can be difficult since it's all street parking in an industrial area, so I'd recommend going with someone if possible. I'd also suggest pre-ordering on their website before driving over. There's a QR code outside the building that you can use to place your order, and they only accept cashless payments. Our order took about 10 minutes to come out. I do wish they had some tables or seating outside, though, since we ended up taking everything home. By the time we ate the fantuan, it had gotten cold, and I think it would've tasted much better warm. My family and I ordered the soy milk and two different fantuan--one with braised pork and one with pork floss. Between the two, I preferred the braised pork fantuan. However, I wish there were more mustard greens because the filling felt pretty heavy with the fried youtiao and braised pork belly. The soy milk was just okay for me. I've had better fresh soy milk elsewhere, so I'd probably pass on it next time. Next time, I'll probably eat the fantuan right away and see if there's a noticeable difference in taste and texture when it's fresh and warm! read more

Delicious fan tuan with flavorful fillings surrounded by a thin layer of rice. We tried the classic purple rice roll and the purple rice roll with braised pork belly. Both were delicious and I appreciated how the fillings were evenly spread out throughout the burrito. It was very easy to order online and pick up was quick. But heads up it is not located in a typical restaurant area! read more

Was really excited to try out Taiwanese Eats on my drive up. I was able to order ahead and got the regular sticky rice roll, soymilk, braised pork rice bowl, and a side of the spicy garlic pig ears and yuzu wood eared mushrooms (about $45 before tip). Parking was pretty awful since the pick up spot is located in a random neighborhood amongst some industrial sites. I had to double park and hope that picking up my food would be quick. About 4 other people arrived the same time I did, all for UberEats or DoorDash. I received a text as I was stepping out of the car that my order was ready, but had to wait a few minutes for someone to come to the window as there was no way to flag anyone down. She had to go back to the kitchen area to grab my food as none of the orders she had initially come out with were mine. The sticky rice roll was truly very sticky- I had to peel off some of the excess rice but the filling inside was good and very flavorful. The soymilk was good too, not too sweet and paired well with the rice roll like a traditional Taiwanese breakfast. The braised pork rice was pretty standard, and out of the 2 side dishes, the spicy garlic pig ears was definitely way better compared to the wood eared mushrooms. I liked that they sliced the pork ears really thin but they could've cut the pieces up a little smaller. The mushrooms were bland, wouldn't order again. Overall, the food was good but not outstanding. The difficulty in location and parking makes it a big deterrent on returning in the future. read more

Taiwanese Eats - Regular sticky rice roll, yuzu wood eared mushrooms, spicy garlic pig ears, and regular soymilk - Taiwanese Near Me - Redwood City, California

Taiwanese Eats is a pickup-only spot operating out of a shared commercial kitchen, so parking can be limited. Ordering ahead is definitely the way to go for quick and easy service. I ordered the Purple Sticky Rice Roll with Braised Pork, and it was delicious. The Chinese donut inside added a great crunch and texture, while the egg was soft, filling, and complemented everything well. The braised pork was seasoned perfectly and packed with flavor. I also tried the Black Bean Soy Milk, which was a nice treat. It had a unique flavor and wasn't overly sweet, making it a refreshing addition to the meal. Overall, everything was tasty and well prepared. I'll definitely be coming back the next time I'm in the area! read more

A friend wanted to check this out and we both scheduled orders for a Saturday morning. In the morning, the soy milk was not available on Doordash, but as I parked in the area about a block away (parking is difficult), I checked and soy milk was available. I ordered one through Doordash hoping that I could just get it at the same time as my order. Pickup seemed a little weird - it's a window where you can ring the door bell for any of the kitchens there, but it took awhile for someone to show up. Once the staff member did, I was able to show the name for both orders and ask about the soymilk - he told me to wait a minute and was able to get it for me (presumably because they have them all ready to go). I ordered Purple Sticky Rice Roll with Pork Floss, Pickled Cucumbers, Yuzu Wood Ear Mushrooms and Crispy Trumpet Mushrooms. Soy milk was, in fact, delicious. I think the Yuzu Wood Ear Mushrooms were ok, but the Cirspy Trumpet Mushrooms (medium spicy) did stand out. Pickled cucumbers were a hit - my friend's toddler could not stop eating them so I was glad we got two for the group of 3 adults and 1 toddler. The Rice roll - also tasty - big and filling. I am not in that area often, but I would definitely considered this for takeout/pickup again! read more

I tried the purple sticky rice fantuan. It had a good flavor, but I don't think it was really my thing, and I probably wouldn't order it again. The spicy popcorn chicken, however, was really delicious--crispy, flavorful, and definitely worth trying. I'll definitely be back to explore more items on the menu. read more

2/5 star on the beef stew purple rice burrito. The beef was either really tough or I was biting down on a piece of fat. 3/5 on the fried chicken bento box. It would probably taste better if it was not in a to-go container. The trapped heat made the chicken soggy. It could also use a tad more seasonings. read more

Taiwanese Eats is a takeout-only restaurant in Redwood City that specializes in fan tuan (Chinese rice burrito). Fan tuan has become super trendy lately, but this has been my go-to spot long before all the hype! I'm so glad I discovered it early because it's gotten really popular now, and orders can take a bit longer during busy times. I usually order it through DoorDash for breakfast or lunch, it's so convenient, incredibly filling, and always hits the spot. My most favorite are braised pork and pork floss. They offer both sticky rice and purple rice options, and the purple rice costs a little extra. Personally, I think it's worth it because I love its chewy texture, although my friend prefers the classic sticky rice. The crispy fried dough inside is always flavorful and adds the perfect crunch to every bite. And, the portions are super huge! I can almost never finish one in a single sitting, so I usually cut it in half and save the rest for later. It's just as delicious the second time around. Their soy milk is another favorite of mine. It's fresh and not overly sweet, which I really appreciate since many places make it too sugary. If you're craving authentic Taiwanese breakfast, I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Ordered the braised pork purple rice burrito. Longer wait than expected for what it is. I was starving but once I got it, it was worth it. The rice was perfectly chewy and soft. The braised pork was tender and not overly seasoned. The fried dough was crispy and the pickled vegetables was tangy but not overly salty. I wasn't sure if I would like this but bought it from all the IG hype. Did not let me down. I would get it again if I was in the area. read more

An absolute hidden gem! So glad we stopped by here. I've been wanting to try Fan Tuan for a long while now and had no clue where to get my hands on one. I really was worried when we showed up and found out that it was a ghost kitchen, but wow, their food is an absolute hit. We ordered the Purple Rice Braised Pork and Purple Rice Pork Floss with a side order of spicy pig ears. I wasn't sure what to expect but it's everything you didn't know you needed out of a burrito. So many textures that somehow magically come together to make something so delicious. Also, this place has great value, I appreciate the generous serving size. The fried dough stays crispy for white awhile so we didn't have any issues with that getting soggy. They put just the right amount of mustard greens in each fan tuan. Also the rice was perfectly portioned. It's easy to go heavy handed with rice in general, they did a great job at keeping a nice thin layer of rice around the fillings. The spicy pig ears were shaved so thinly, the texture was still nice and bouncy but easy to chewy through. Parking can be a little bit scarce when you're here. You might have to park a few blocks away and walk over. This ghost kitchen pickup is fully outdoors as well. So definitely order ahead and stop by once your food is ready. read more

The online ordering is easy and straightforward. The parking situation like most people have addressed, is limited. The pickup system that they have is redundant. Apparently they don't have a dedicated person working at the window. So when you arrive, you have to scan the QR code on the right, find the order # on your original receipt that was emailed to you, fill out an online form and then ring one of the applicable wireless doorbells on the left to get someone to come to the pickup window. We went there when they first opened, and they already ran out of some ingredients that they use to make the rice burrito. So instead of letting us know, they just crossed out the ingredients on the paper wrapper, as if it didn't come with those ingredients. The size and flavor of the burrito was a little small and less flavor too. read more

This place is a ghost kitchen but man I hope it gets the love it deserves because the food here is super comforting and delicious! I got a Red Vinasse Pork Bento- LOADED! I mean absolutely loaded with various different sides and I mean cabbage, green beans, tea egg, and a heaping amount of rice. The pork was seasoned a fried immaculately, the egg was marinated super well, and there was even even a subtle, yet light, and delicious sauce that coated the rice. I still keep thinking about it. Purple Sticky rice with braised pork fan tuan - This is a complete meal in itself. Rice, Chinese doughnut that is still crispy, some pickled greens and loaded with the braised pork. The braised pork has fatty parts that just completely melt in your mouth with each bite. There's even an entire egg in there! What an absolute unit. read more

Purple rice burrito. I really enjoyed the food. Was very flavorful and the popcorn chicken had the right amount of seasoning where I really enjoyed it. First time ordering from this place and didn't get any dipping sauce for popcorn chicken and didn't need any dipping sauce. Parking is some what of a challenge. This place is like a hole in a wall. It can also be a challenge to find. You order from the menu off of a wall that provides a qr code or you can just Google it which is what I did. read more

The purple rice burrito was really good! The white rice burrito was just okay. I'm giving 2 stars because there is no parking, and the restaurant needs a better system for getting food out more efficiently. I was told the wait would be 20-30 minutes, but I ended up waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes in the sun. I recommend ordering online well ahead of time and having someone drop you off to pick up your food, since parking is very limited. When I checked on my order, it seemed like it hadn't even been started until about an hour after I placed it. There was only one employee working on a Saturday, which likely contributed to the long delay. The food was decent, but the wait time and pickup experience need significant improvement. read more

The food was decent but the wait time was ridiculous (one hour)! I ordered the Original Sticky Rice Roll with Pork Floss. Each ingredient was tasty except for the fried donut which was a too greasy (perhaps change the oil?). I wish there was more of the pickled vegetable to cut through the greasiness. Out of all fantuan I've tried in the Bay Area, this is at the bottom for me. I wouldn't go back because the wait was atrocious. I placed my order of two fantuan at 11:25a and it wasn't ready until 12:22p... Also, it's a ghost kitchen and you wait outside for the food and pick it up at a window. There are no seats so I had to stand the entire hour I was waiting oof It was pretty difficult to find parking. It's all street parking in a residential area read more

Take out only, order ahead - quite literally a "hole" in the wall kinda restaurant. Taiwanese who misses home street food living on the peninsula may find themselves happily fed. All items sufficiently authentic. read more

Amazing value I mean where else are you going to get a fantastic sticky rice pork floss burrito for $8? Don't be fooled by its size tho, it's incredibly dense and more than enough for a lunch. We also tried their popcorn tofu, chicken, as well as their gua bao which were delicious. This place is takeout only, tucked away on a random street. We called in our order but they did take a little longer than expected (had to wait 10 minutes), so maybe call ahead a little earlier read more

It's a shared kitchen situation. I drove there and didn't realize there is no restaurant nor any store front. The food was okay. Not enough meat for the price. It tasted okay. But I might prefer other Taiwanese places near by given their price points, shared kitchen situation. What would have made it worth it? Given that it's a straight up shared kitchen with no overhead on wait staff, busboys, other serving related supplies and expenses, they should have focused on the food. The quantity and the quality of the food MUST shine because there is nothing else to focus on. I might give this one another try in the future and I do hope it "Wows" me. read more

My parents were visiting for bit, and they found Taiwanese Eats which operates out of a ghost kitchen in Redwood City. The area isn't the greatest, but the food is excellent! We got the purple rice sticky rice roll with egg and a regular sticky rice roll. Both rice rolls were excellent, and they were much better than the rice rolls we got at a recent food Asian eats festival. The braised pork was pretty good as well and on par with O2 valley, although it's not as good as my favorite Taiwanese restaurant in Fremont. The popcorn chicken was excellent - somehow still crispy after driving home and just the right amount of spice. Their soy milk tasted fresh and had the perfect amount of sugar. If you're looking for delicious Taiwanese rice rolls, definitely give this place a try! read more

Love the fan tuan here. Don't need to drive all the way to Santa Clara. So crispy and I just love the egg. The pork floss (there's also a vegetarian option). They only have to go options. Nice staff. It's best to eat right away for the absolute crispiness. I've been here multiple times and when I let it sit for more than 30 mins, the Chinese doughnut isn't as crunchy. Overall this is my fav. Love it and support this place 100. read more

Our office ordered lunch from this spot and I went with the braised pork bento box. It came with pork over rice, tofu, and an egg. The braised pork was excellent. Super tender and packed with flavor and it paired perfectly with the rice. The tofu was a nice addition too, soaking up the sauce well without being overly salty. My only gripe was the egg. It was fully hard-boiled, and personally, I'm more of a jammy egg kind of person. Not a deal-breaker, just a preference. read more

I'm always a huge proponent of more Taiwanese food for the Bay Area but unfortunately the food here came up short. Whenever we try a new spot, we tend to order a sampling of the menu so take that into context. - 4* Purple Sticky Rice Roll with Swordfish Floss 紫米魚鬆飯糰: the best out of all the food we got. Two things that prevented it from being rated higher was that the rice was way too sticky and was ironically hard to separate off the plastic wrap (yes I know it's sticky/glutinous rice but it was overcooked to the point of being gooey). They also use swordfish floss which is known to be high in mercury. A personal preference (hence not docking a star) is that they are too big. Rice burritos are on the go type of working class food, you should be able to easily eat one, rather than this giant monstrosity but it's priced reasonably for the size. - 2* Popcorn Chicken 鹽酥雞: way too salty, the texture of the chicken was stringy, almost like chicken breast was used instead of chicken thigh. If it was thigh, it was tougher than expected. - 3* Crispy King Trumpet Mushrooms 鹽酥杏鮑菇: good but again, way too salty. This would've been a favorite has it been seasoned more reasonably. - 4* Fried Chicken Cutlet Bento 炸雞排便: the fried chicken cutlet was good, only slightly too salty with accompanying side dishes and cabbage being good. - 1* Spicy Garlic Pork Ears 涼拌豬耳: basically a pile of mush, overcooked to the point of turning gooey and gelatinous rather than nuanced and QQ - 1* Taiwanese tempura 台式椒鹽甜不辣: quite honestly terrible. The texture did not taste or feel like fish cake as much as flour filler mixed with some fish paste. Also way too salty. - 3* Braised Pork Rice 滷肉飯: ok but not amazing. Generous portion of pork for the amount of rice. Not too salty. - 3* Black Bean Soy Milk (Sweeten) 黑豆漿(微糖): nothing stood out about this, lacking in the Taiwanese breakfast feel of a soy milk in terms of texture and flavor. Parking is a known issue and pickup was awkward even after signing in with the QR code and waiting several minutes. All in all, I'd rather go to Marina for their rice burritos. read more

The food was authentic and delicious even by a local Taiwanese foodie's standards. The rice wraps and marinated cucumbers were excellent. The black bean soy milk was perhaps the best soy milk I've ever had anywhere. Marinated wood ear was just so-so. My only complaints: 1) The hot and cold items were into the same bag for pickup, so I had to separate them myself right away. Would be better if they could separate the hot and cold items. 2) No real parking for pickups. read more

This is not actually a restaurant and has no storefront. They operate out of a ghost kitchen. You can order online and come pick up or order on your phone when you get there.

All the ingredients came together really well. read more

So happy to have found this place! Our son takes swim lessons at the 24 hr fitness nearby, and the only good options we knew of were Mediterranean.

Reasonable prices and good portions, and no issues with pickup. read more

Taiwanese Eats offers fan tuans (AKA rice burritos), bentos, and a variety of appetizers. While the bentos aren't bad, my favorite is their fan tuans which are absolutely delicious! In comparison to Xiaoman Riceburritos which only offers options with pork floss, you can also get fan tuans filled with Swordfish Floss or Braised Pork at Taiwanese Eats. Both fan tuan places are good and the fan tuans are around the same price and size so this may just depend more on your preference / location. Their soy milk is also really good and comes in these fun, capri-shaped bags! Taiwanese Eats doesn't have its own storefront but serves food out of Redwood City Eats, a restaurant co-op similar to Local Kitchen where you can order food from various partnering restaurants either online for pick-up/delivery or via a kiosk if you arrive in person. Unlike Local Kitchens, there is no seating available at Redwood City Eats - all orders are to-go only. Also, there is minimal parking available so you may need to circle around a bit to find street parking. Overall, this is a great option if you're looking for fan tuans in the Bay! ORDER: |-| Purple Sticky Rice Roll with Pork Floss ($7.99) |-| Sticky Rice Roll with Swordfish Floss ($7.20) |-| Black Bean Soy Milk ($4.99) - Made with non-GMO soybeans and nutrient-rich black beans |-| Soy Milk ($4.50)- House made from non-GMO soybeans |-| Fried Chicken Cutlet Bento ($15.50) - Good portion size, chicken was well fried and had good flavor. Only complaint is that they used chicken breast so some of the pieces were a bit dry. read more

I was super impressed with their rice burrito varieties and I got the purple rice with pork belly! It was very thick and packed with filling which was a plus.

Taiwanese Eats is absolutely worth the drive if you're craving authentic fan tuan and soymilk. The menu offers soymilk, bento boxes, appetizers, and of course their signature rice roll burritos. Not many Taiwanese restaurant offer fan tuan so this is definitely a rare find in the Bay. This ghost kitchen is located in an area you wouldn't really expect it to be near a lot of car related businesses. Parking is extremely limited so I would count on ordering ahead and having someone dropped off to pick up the order. *Crispy king trumpet mushrooms- This was delicious and quite packed inside the box. The mushrooms were battered and fried beautifully topped off with salt, pepper, and basil. *Soy milk- lightly sweetened, creamy, yet doesn't have that dry aftertaste you get on your tongue with some soy milk drinks. This was so refreshing and perfect to wash down the sticky rice burrito. * Purple sticky rice burrito with braised pork - You've got so much packed in here with various flavors and textures. The purple rice is cooked perfectly- soft and you can appreciate the taste of each grain of rice. The braised pork is fatty yet sweet and full of soy sauce flavor. The marinate egg adds this extra layer of creaminess from the soft yolk. The fried dough retains all its crispiness like it was just freshly fried minutes ago. The pickled radish together with the fried shallots added so much aroma and sweetness that just blesses each bite. If you're looking for a flavor bomb of a fan tuan, come try Taiwanese Eats! It looks small but trust me, they are so filling and satisfying. read more
