    Definitely very hidden! My friend had to come find me to take me to find this spot. Very small hole in the wall/mom & pops spot. Service was decent, nothing notable. Not surprised how long this place lasted for around 15 years with comforting home cooked taste. There's someone cooking stinky tofu outdoors. There's definitely that stink in the air that clings on your clothes so keep that in mind if you have something important to attend afterwards. The stinky tofu wasn't stinky enough itself compared to Chinese versions, but the sauce and pickled vegetables does save it. It's got a bit of a crunch, but not as much as I'm used to. Everything tasted pretty decent otherwise, clean and comfy Taiwanese spot, A lot of 小吃 options.

    Stinky Tofu - Regular Size
    Sandy N.

    Came here on a Saturday around 4PM and there were 2-3 people ahead of me. I don't know why but this place was hard for me to find. It is located outside, tucked in the corner, in an alley. It looked a bit suspicious at first, but the pungent smell will be obvious as you walk closer to it. Anyways, I ordered the regular sized stinky tofu. I waited approximately 10 minutes for my order. It had a slight kick of sweetness, some umami, and salty flavor. It was unique and interesting since the tofu was able to absorb some of the sauce. As for my mom, who grew up eating this, thought it wasn't fermented enough. Regardless, it was worth the try since there wasn't that many places around here that sells this. There is a minimal amount required if you're paying with a card but other than that, it is CASH ONLY.

    Revisited with my grandma for a quick lunch break. Everything was good as always & service was quick, bringing out food within minutes of ordering. Will definitely be back :)

    If you have a crave for Taiwan street food, this is the place to go. They got stinky tofu, blood rice cake, Taiwan tamale and many more dishes. All very flavorful and tasty.

    Truly the only spot that hits the spot when you're looking for Taiwanese stinky tofu and lu rou fan. It's tucked away in the saddest shopping center that is really falling apart, but it's worth the journey. The service is good, and the ambiance... well, you'll feel like it's an authentic place lol. Really appreciate that this place sticks around - definitely worth the try!

    Whenever I am craving stinky tofu this is the best place to eat. Everything is still same and I would also tell them don't overt fry it I want the tender side.

    This authentic braised pork rice and stinky tofu hit me with a wave of nostalgia. As a Taiwanese American constantly navigating two cultures, -home- can feel like a vague concept until I eat this. It's a taste of Taiwan that awakens my soul. This meal is a CrossPacific embrace, proving that the vibrant spirit of Taiwan's food stalls is, and always will be, my ultimate comfort.

    The food was okay. Can satisfy some Taiwanese cravings. The dumplings I got were a little bland but good if I was looking for something more clean to eat. The chicken leg rice was good for the price. My friend shared the stinky tofu with me but it was just okay. I didn't like the previously fried tofu texture and didn't care for the sauce. The service was friendly although maybe have gotten my friend's order wrong but not a big deal.

    Barely iced tea is a little sweeter, they add sugar to it.

    I really wanted to come here a long time and try their famous stinky tofu. The first time I came here looking for it , 2 years ago, I couldn't find it because all the shops looked alike and it doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside, at first I thought it was one of those Chinese herbal shops so I gave up and left. Until today, I came back and looked hard for it. I finally found it...yay! The place is really tiny, they have patio seating but is kind of windy and I have shorts on, is cold outside lol. Walked in, told the lady, only 1 people and she said sit. I sat in the middle and there was only one young couple eating. I knew exactly what I wanted besides the tea, I want it hot Japanese tea but unfortunately they don't have it so I opted for the hot green tea then I saw the barley tea, i said hot but she brought out with ice. The barely tea was kinda sweet, I like it natural without sugar. The stinky tofu looks and tastes like fry tofu, there wasn't really any smell to it like I was hoping. I thought it was going to be like that king of fruits, the Dorian, the ones that loves it would say it smells like peaches and the ones that hates would say it smell like feet that you haven't washed for days lol. The tofu doesn't have any smell to it, kinda disappointed. I asked the boss lady and she said health department doesn't allow it so they made no too smelly. It was kinda dry too. The pickled vegetables that came with it was pretty good, it helps with the dry tofu. I also ordered their most popular items, the mushrooms minced pork with egg over rice. When I took the first bite, it reminded me of my mom's braised pork belly with mustard greens but is not sweet like here. Is really flavorful and my mom uses 10 different types of herbs to make it. Also we eat it in big chunks with white rice is the best, half fat half skinny just like char shi lol overall, the food was good. The ladies are friendly and nice, they answered my question about the tofu. But I'm still going to see if I can find some more stinky tofu that has a little smell to it. Wish me luck. Or if anyone has any suggestions of any places that has stinky tofu that smells in SGV and OC, message me. I'm very curious about what it smells like and tastes like ? Thanks in advance

    Nice to see there are still restaurants like Tofu King that proudly fly the Taiwanese "small eats" (snacks) flag as there have never been many options for Taiwanese food even in the SGV. It had been awhile since I ate here but had a hankering for Taiwanese food so I came here for lunch. The menu seems to be pretty consistent as before with the stinky tofu as the one dish that everyone seems to order. Of course, if you don't like stinky tofu but want to try the food here, you will need to endure the smell of stinky tofu so ordering the food to go may be your best option? They have some tables outside but you can still smell the tofu. Check out my pics including menu pics. If you haven't tried Taiwanese small eats before, Tofu King allows you to try many of the more popular items all in one place.

    所有的結果與過程,都是自己在跟自己談判,想通了,全世界都會繞路, 畫地為牢,只會讓自己萬劫不復,別想太多,學習放下,懂得釋懷,才是善待自己最好的方式~ 我們洛杉磯鼎鼎有名的臭豆腐大王,有次我帶兩個朋友去,外國的朋友,才靠近攤子,在那邊真的沒法呼吸,坐在那裡的每一刻都好像痛苦萬分,讓我在那笑個不停,現在知道我們台灣小吃的厲害了吧,國內來的朋友,則一直跟我說送菜上來的台灣小姐說話好溫柔,一樣是台灣來的,怎麼講話差這麼多,我覺得這真的是廢話,最好是整個台灣的女人講話都是輕聲細語的,他沒見識過台灣的恰查某吧! 言歸正傳,臭豆腐大王是我妹妹從北加下來時,永遠指定要吃的台灣小吃,每一次都會點很多,非常的澎湃,好像是台灣小吃辦桌的感覺, 臭豆腐不用我說了, 在洛杉磯想吃臭豆腐, 捨他其誰?他們的米粉炒, 滷肉飯, 大腸包小腸, ....還有太多的菜色,我都很喜歡,分享給大家, 這道地的台灣味!

I understand that prices have gone up everywhere, and I'm willing to pay more for good food. However, the final bill didn't match the prices listed on the menu, which was very confusing and frustrating. What made it worse was that the actual dishes looked completely different from the photos on the menu. If I had known that those four small pieces of meat would cost that much, I definitely would not have ordered them. The most upsetting part was that when we tried to ask both the server and the owner about the pricing issue, we were basically ignored. On top of that, we waited about 20 minutes just for takeout packaging, even though the restaurant was not busy at all. Honestly, this will probably be my last time coming here. I just hope the friends I previously recommended this place to won't end up blaming me for sending them there.

It offers a generous portion of tender, juicy meat and springy, fresh noodles. "DELICIOUS!!" I arrived at No. 1 Noodle House (Rowland Heights) on Sunday (around 11AM). Parking is easy. The lot is big with many spots. Staff is very friendly and welcoming, but Staff spoke limited English. Fortunately, pointing at the menu was clear enough. The food took eight minutes and nine seconds. Fast time! As mentioned, the Beef Rib Noodle Soup ($16.50 - Mild) is wonderful! It arrived picturesque and delicious!! However, despite ordering "mild," the food has a very strong heat; I sweat nonstop as I ate. The broth is rich, savory, and spicy. The meat is tender, flavorful, and falls off the bone. And the noodles are hefty, soft, and springy. It's a wonderful, euphoric combination of flavors and textures. Concerning ambiance, No. 1 Noodle House (Rowland Heights) is surprisingly spacious with its tall ceiling and relatively clean surroundings. However, its walls and furniture look worn down with time. Some seats even had torn holes. Unfortunately, the music uses radio with constant commercials playing in the background. Fortunately, there's a gender neutral restroom in the back. Overall, I found culinary magic at No. 1 Noodle House (Rowland Heights). The food is fresh, generously portioned, and well-prepared. I left full with a bright smile. If you enjoy spicy beef noodle soup, this is a must-try! 5 out of 5!! "GO!!"

We've dined here on multiple occasions when we're craving something authentic and tasty, and Tasty BBQ has always risen to the occasion. My favorite items have been the Braised Tofu, Tofu with Bamboo, Green Onion Oil Noodles, and Cabbage. They also have set combos where you can order four dishes with a soup for $50. We were able to swap out some of the meat forward dishes with something vegetarian. This a no frills mom and pop restaurant, that's clean, and simply decorated. Portion sizes are large, and service is quick, but note that there might be some take out orders ahead of you even if the store isn't packed. There's easy parking in the lot, but it might be rather full depending on when you're planning on stopping by. I was able to pay via cash or credit card and did not experience a cash only dining experience that another Yelper reported.

Szechwan DanDan Dry Noodles w/ Peanuts: Excellent. It was a bowl of dry noodles topped with green onions, crushed peanuts, and sesame sauce. It tasted like an upgraded version of sesame noodles with a better texture. Ding's Special Cold Plate: Excellent. This signature appetizer platter was one of the restaurant's best. It included five items: dried tofu, seaweed, pig ear, beef tripe, and spicy beef shank. Fried Pork Chop + Green Mustard Fried Rice + Spiced Eggs: A must-order. The fried rice had great "wok hei" (breath of the wok). The fried pork chop, which had a bit of fat, was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The juiciness and the texture of the melted fat were perfectly handled without being greasy. Shanghai Sesame Fermented Rice Dumpling Soup: A must-order. The portion was huge and enough for four people. It used mini tangyuan (rice balls) with sesame filling, and the combination of osmanthus powder, fermented rice, and egg drop was excellent. Also, it wasn't overly thickened with starch like at other restaurants. Soybean with Bean Curd Leaves: Very good. The moisture was reduced to just the right level, and the flavor was as satisfying as a meat dish. In addition, unlike the cold appetizers served elsewhere, this one was served hot. Braised Pork Belly: Good. It came with two translucent-looking spiced eggs and four pieces of pork belly. The sweet sauce was well-absorbed, and the meat was stewed until it was quite tender with almost no "porky" smell. Overall, it was a good dish, but the version at Blue Magpie in Arcadia is even better. The following dishes were good but not must-tries: Pan-Fried Dumplings, Steamed Dumplings, Stir-fried Rice Cakes, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, Shrimp & Pork Wonton Soup, Fish Fillets in Rice Wine Sauce, and Stir-fried Spinach with Garlic. Steamed Stinky Tofu: Highly not recommended! Is this even Jiangzhe cuisine? It tasted more like Sichuan-style poached stinky tofu. It was way too salty, so much so that I stopped eating after about 60% and didn't even have the desire to take the leftovers home. Shanghai Style Salted Chicken: Highly not recommended! The chicken texture was quite dry, and the worst part was the abundance of small bone fragments. I was afraid to chew too hard for fear of damaging my teeth. 趕在 2026 年 4 月 15 日正式結業前造訪了兩次。整體而言,部分菜色表現亮眼,部分則較為普通。 大合特色擔擔麵:大推。拌入蔥花、花生碎與芝麻醬的乾拌麵,嚐著像口感更精緻的升級版麻醬麵。 攪和攪和:大推,本店必點招牌拼盤。含豆乾、海帶、豬耳、牛肚和麻辣牛腱五種綜合滷味。 醇香排骨雪菜炒飯滷蛋:必點。帶有鑊氣的菜飯,帶點肥肉的炸排,外層酥脆內層軟嫩,汁水感和融化油脂感都處理的極佳且不膩。 上海芝麻酒釀小湯圓:必點。份量頗多足夠四人吃。芝麻小湯圓配桂花蜜與酒釀蛋花。此外,完全不像其他店家會摻過多勾芡。 雪菜毛豆百頁:很不錯。水分收得恰到好處,美味完全不輸葷食。此外,不同於一般常見的冷盤做法,這道是以熱菜呈現,更有鑊氣。 紅燒肉:不錯。含兩顆晶瑩剔透的滷蛋與四塊燒肉;甜口醬汁入味,肉質燉煮得夠軟爛且幾無豬腥味,整體水準不錯。只是,阿凱迪亞的藍鵲仍稍勝一籌。 中規中矩但沒到非吃不可:生煎包、小籠包、炒年糕、牛肉麵、蝦豬大餛飩、糟溜魚片、蒜蓉炒菠菜。 蒸臭豆腐:超雷絕不推薦!這是江浙菜嗎?怎麼嚐著像川式水煮臭豆腐。太鹹了,鹹到我只吃了六成左右就不碰了,連打包帶走的慾望都沒有。 脆皮鹹水風雞:非常不推!雞肉口感偏柴,最討厭的是,容易吃到細小碎骨,我都不敢大力咀嚼怕傷牙。
