Food here is very cheap and the portion is huge. I can't believe that I live around this area for so long yet I never this place. Cheap food yet taste good who can beat that? The only down side when we came here was they ran out many types of teas that my friend like. Will come back again maybe many again in the future. read more

Why Thirsty - Popcorn chicken - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

See all

The name kinda throws you off. First of all, why is it asking a question? Secondly, you would think Why Thirsty should respond with just drinks... but this place has food too, good food I might add! We read on yelp that others recommend the railroad so we ordered that. It was a good choice. I would jump on the railroad bandwagon and suggest the same thing. It's a pretty hearty dish (meaning that it's pretty big). It's basically a tender slab of pork, some cooked veggies, and rice cooked with egg. Very tasty! The second dish we got was udon noodles in combination with the popcorn chicken. Also a very good choice. The udon is your standard udon noodles in soup with some sides, 2 to be exact. Though I don't know what it is, I must say that it was pretty good. The popcorn chicken is excellent. Not sure if it's just because it's chicken pieces that are deep fried, but it was very good. The drink choices are pretty good too. Though, I'm not a big fan of overpriced, "high-end" tea, this place does have a pretty good selection. Despite the name of Why Thirsty relating more to drinks than food. I enjoyed the food more than the drinks! Quickly, to the service. The people here are REALLY nice! I'd say the service is excellent! Fairly cheap to eat here for lunch, good location and parking is pretty easy in this lot. I'd recommend both the Railroad and the popcorn chicken. Hope you guys do too! read more

Came here pretty late last night with the lady friend. I gotta admit, this place is where it's at...except for maybe the location? It was dead when we went at around 10p. I do hope people know about this place, hiding in the Stater Bros plaza right off Huntington Drive. When we Yelped this place, I'll be honest, I thought it was just like every other boba joint in the SGV. I was quickly proven wrong by great customer service, really good food, and a different style of tea that I havent experienced before. The tea wasnt super sweet like what I normally come across where I have to ask for less sugar. We ordered the sausage fried rice and popcorn chicken which is probably the most typical types of dishes at these boba places. But where this place excels is that, although these dishes are typical, the cook focuses on making it properly. We were also greeted by whom I presumed to be the owner, who was very welcoming, and wanted to make sure that we enjoyed our meal. A+++++ in my book. read more

This is a decent place to grab drinks and a quick meal and to catch up with friends. I've tried a few of their drinks but sometimes their flavored tea is a miss. I do like their milk green tea though so I tend to stick to that. My bf loves to order the railroad rice when we come here. The portions are very generous and we always end up with leftovers. Service is also pretty fast and you can always call ahead for takeout :) overall, I would give this place 3.5 stars. read more

I liked their food a lot. The service was friendly and quick. The only gripe was a terrible milk tea that tasted more like milk then tea and it was corrected promptly (but still not right even after about 4 tries). My experience with milk tea is that it has mostly tea, black tea, and just a splash of milk, this one was WHITE. This is for my Taiwanese wife so she knows how it should taste. My drink was great, a chrysanthemum ice tea. Railroad pork was great and I liked the side of fried fish although its a lot like american style fish with tarter sauce. I would go back if I was in the area and needed some taiwanese food. The mall is a bit run down and dirty but food was good. read more

Why Thirsty - Good railroad pork - Taiwanese Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Stopped by for a late lunch and glad we came!! Started with premium milk tea which had terrific flavor!! Gulped it all down!! Also got the jasmine milk tea which had a very fine jasmine flavor aftertaste!! Then got the best dry noodle so far in LA/SGV with the Honey Sausage Lo Mein!! The Lo Mein is flavored so amazingly!! Seriously mouth drooling good...the sausage is way above average but not the top...but the noodle is so good so you can replace with popcorn chicken or pork chop etc. The spicy beef noodle was not good at all...not even average. The railroad rice plate had a very very soft and yummy pork chop but I think was just a little overrated from the reviews. Don't get me wrong, it was really tender and well flavored but just did not wow me. The Lo Mein was so perfect that it overshadowed everything else!! read more

Small place, pretty good food for reasonable prices and tasty premium teas! Why Thirsty does one of the best renditions of Taiwanese Popcorn chickens in all of the SGV. Order that for a snack and one of their milk teas! What's yum? popcorn chicken lo mien. Rose black milk tea Assam milk tea read more

Juicy Pork Chops "The Railroad" Quite impressive lil restaurant near Trader Joe's on Rosemead and Huntington. It's a challenge to find this place when you don't know where you are. This is my new favorite place to get some good grubs and tea at the same time. I liked the Pork Chop rice a lot, the veggies were delish and complemented the meal. Also ordered the beef noodle soup which tasted good. The owner also let us know that we can get as much soup as we want flavored to our own desire. The shrimp dishes looked really good, saw someone ordered it and I definitely will be coming back here and trying out their other dishes. My favorite drink was the Premium Milk Tea, tasted perfect. I also tried the Jasmine Milk Tea which tasted like Green Milk Tea which I personally don't enjoy that much. Altho the Jasmine Milk Tea was made good here. I was able to try the Sweet Potatoe Fries and it was also yummy!! Service is awesome and prices were decent. read more

Wow. Just wow. Amazing Taiwanese cafe/street food. Noodles with fish filets. So light with the perfect accented broth and the crispiest fish filets. MMMMMMM.... Railroad Pork - humongous boneless pork chop cooked to perfection with rice, corn salad, mixed vegetables and a dried tofu mix - really tasty. So much on the menu to choose from. Huge selection of tea drinks and bobas. It was love at first bite. I will be back. Don't let the mini mall location and small size of the restaurant deter you - these people know how to cook. read more

I love Why Thirsty. I love Why Thirsty. I LOVE WHY THIRSTY!!!!!! I can say, EVERYTHING on their menu is good. EVERYTHING. So from the list of good, I'll have to rank the food among different levels of "good." Things that good: All the dry noodles, and fried rice. They are good, very flavorful, and very delicious. Dry noodle is good but not one of the BEST, simply because it doesn't have the soup they give you--and the soup is one of their BEST things. All the fried rice dishes are very delicious, and the portion is HUGE. I'm a medium portion eater, and one time I ordered a honey sausage fried rice to go from Why Thirsty, and it took me 4 meals to finish, but I'll say that is the only thing I don't like about the fried rice, too much rice!!!!! So here are the even better stuff: all the soup noodles, ALL the soup noodles, and rice dishes. I can't really say more about them, except for that they are delicious. The soup is one of the best I can find. And my all time favorite item on the menu: Premium beef noodle with soup. I really don't know what's so good about this noodle soup. It's just perfect. Must try!!!! And all the drinks are really good. They adjust level of sweetness, and the tea are really good quality. Unlike those boba places that overwhelm your tea with ice and that takes up most of the spaces in the cup, Why Thirsty gives you a good amount of ice that cools down the drink but not to an extent of "too much ice and waters down the drink." On top of that, staff there are super nice. The owner comes out and greet you and have a small chat with you when they are not busy. However, because this place is so popular, they might be a bit too busy so sometimes the service might get slow when it's lunch/dinner peak hour. Call in advance if you want to buy something to go, and don't go there for a rushed one hour lunch during work. Have a fun date, small friend gathering (space is small, not good for big parties) where you want to sit there and talk for over an hour while you have tea or eat! read more

Not sure why they call this place "why Thirsty" when they have food, cuz we were just about to leave the parking lot but stopped to check out the place out of curiosity. Very friendly lady and boy does she talk, but she wanted to make sure we receive good service. If you like spicy, make sure to ask for their 'home made hot sauce'. They guy was telling me it's made of 16 different spices. One thing about their food, I didn't feel heavy or bloated afterward like many many other Chinese restaurants. I guess it's because of the fresh ingredients they use. read more

One of the few taiwanese restaurants out there that are still killing it! Their popcorn chicken is very crispy, and shaved ice is well portioned. Definitely better than other popcorn chickens around for sure read more

The service here is unbelievable sad. Do not order Ginger Onion chicken. It looks healthy but not tasty very plan and soft. They changed their menu didn't have the good dishes now. read more

I was not very impressed by their teas. It was really pricey for a large and without boba it came out to almost $5! It tasted aite nothing special. Especially cause there are soooo many boba place in 626! But I guess their food probably taste better than their teas judging by the other reviews! read more

Homegirl literally added honey to my order.. on the bottom of my milk tea.. not shaken or anything.. just there. Major face palm moment!!! honey milk tea will never be the same again.. read more

Huge portions of food for the price. Basil Chicken Noodle comes with a bowl of noodles and a side of the basil chicken for $6. Great deal. The food here is good too. The basil chicken was super yummy with huge garlic and ginger pieces that added so much flavor to the dish. The boba here is not bad. The assam milk tea was delicious but nothing super special. I would definitely come here again for some cheap food and boba. read more

Our work team came here for lunch one day. Excellent service, and the food was really good. "The Railroad" (pork chop over rice and miscellaneous vegetables) was very good. I didn't have any drinks, but my co-workers did, and they were very good (jasmine green milk tea). The sweet potato fries were awesome (nice texture, seasoning just right) and the popcorn chicken, which I am not normally a big fan of, was good and not too salty like other places. The menu over the counter is displayed on two large flat screen TV's. It's in "soft-opening" right now, so not everything on the menu is available. I heard the grand opening is in November 2011. read more

This place was pretty good, nestled alway next to Petsmart. Their signs have been ripped off by the earlier wind storm. There is one table outside so we lucked out and had our puppy with us while we ate. Service was average. Octopus balls, tofu, sweet potato fries, lavendar black milk w/honey boba, popcorn chicken. All great choices although the octopus balls and fried tofu were a little overpriced for what you get. The sweet potato fries were actually one of my favs and the drink was good too. If I'm in the area and feel like tea I'd definitely come back here. (o: read more

Ok, so I am a HUGE fan of SINBALA! We heard about this place and decided to give it a go. We read the reviews and they were on target. Location/Accessibility: Located in the plaza w Petco. Ambiance: Indoor seating, avg noise, limited seating. Parking: private lot. Dress Code: casual Menu options: Taiwanese Ordered: - Chicken Basil w Lo-Mein (chicken basil NOT good, but lo-mein was good and flavorful!) btw, i had food poisoning later that night. only thing i had that the others didnt was the chicken basil! - Railroad (didnt get to try, but friends said it was good. pork chops braised and broiled) - Popcorn chicken w lo-mein (like any other place w popcorn chicken. flavor was good. cant go wrong). - Sausage rice (comparison w SINBALA... SINBALA takes the cake!) - Drinks are too sweet. The Assam tea was good! Service: Very friendly! Price: On avg $8/pp Overall experience: I'm willing to try this place again. I just hope I dont get food poisoning again! Food: 3.5/5 stars Service: 4/5 stars Venue: 2/5 stars read more

I've been coming here ever since they opened a couple years ago and I will keep coming here as long as they still serve their delicious Formosa Milk Tea :3 . First off... The Drinks!!! My favorite drink here is quite obviously their Formosa Milk Tea. It's my all time favorite tea drink. Nothing else can compare! However for some it might be too sugary so get half sugar if you don't like it too sweet. Second... The Food! Keep in mind that this is considered a "Tea Room" so their food won't be on the level of an actual full sized restaurant. However I find their food to be quite good, way above average when comparing it to other team places. I frequently order their Fried Rice because the portions are extremely generous. I'm quite the eater, so if I say their portions are generous then prepare to take some food home! I always get their potato Fries here without the powder *just salt*. It's my favorite food item here and only costs $2.49! again generous portion. I dare say their fries are better than Mcdonald's fries, but that's just my opinion. Third... The Service! Their customer service is outstanding! The waitresses are always really friendly and most of them know me by now as a regular customer that always orders the same thing. Whenever I walk in there's always a warm greeting and sometimes a joke here or there depending on who it is. However my one gripe is that some of the newer waitresses always speak to me in Chinese... Which is a problem because i'm Vietnamese ^_^. It's no big deal, just a brief moment of awkwardness and me going 0_O huh?!?!. I find myself coming here frequently in between errands for their great drink's and service. I've even made some awesome friends along the way. I plan to continue coming here for a long time! If you go frequently then you've probably seen me there at least once! Hope you enjoy this place as much as I do! read more

From the curb, why thirsty isn't much to look like. If I hadn't been introduced by a friend who had introduced by a friend of theirs, I would have never chosen this seemingly innocuous boba place out of the many that are in the area. However, I am glad I tried it. I had their railroad, which was pork chop rice- however, I was amazed to find that the pork chop did not have fried breading but still retained the garlicky "pork chop rice" flavor. The pork was still tender. The portion was a very good size for about $7. The pork chop came with a generous scoop of rice, two types of picked veggies, 1 big portion of chinese cooked cabbage and a portion of corn. I tried my companions beef dish and it too was yummy! I had the formosa sweet- formosa tea mixed with peach juice. I was intrigued as peach is not a flavor I see/ order very often if ever. I was pleasantly surprised as the drink was not too sweet and yet had vivid flavor of peach. It was a warm day and we sat for a while. The AC would cut in and out, but I wasn't too overheated nor very disappointed. I'm not usually out this north on Rosemead, but I would not mind returning. read more

Taiwanese Lo Mein -original sauce Always ask for the thick noodles. It used to come standard, and I'm not sure when they changed it, but it's now thin egg noodles, which does not do the sauce any justice. I get mine with the braised pork chop. Soft and tender chops, reminds me of taiwan. I also get the $1 soup on the side, it's a nice pork bone broth that is much improved. Used to be too greasy and salty, now the oil is removed from the top layer and the salt isn't as heavy handed. You can really taste the onions and pork bone flavor. read more

Finally something worthy has moved into this spot! This shopping square has been pretty dead the last 10+ years I've been in the area. The only business worth visiting was Trader Joes, and no one ever gives a second glance to anything else in the square. Following on the heels of Bhanu, an awesome Indian eaterie/grocer, comes Why Thirsty. Tasty Taiwanese styled meals with a friendly mom and pop feel. I'm a fan of their chewy boba and the railroad pork chop rice. The boba has the perfect qq texture, and pork chop rice is super tender with no bones. Note that this is not the crispy fried pork chop like at Simbala if that's what you were looking for. Rather, the pork chop is soy sauce marinated and super flavorful. A side note about the sweet potato fries - they're fried to perfection, but you should consider asking for the plum powder on the side. Yes, the fries come covered in plum powder, which, if you're not used to it, can be quick overpowering and definitely takes away from the dish. Also the decor could use some improvement. The place just seems kind of...cold and uninviting. But I guess that's okay as long as the food is good! p.s. grab a free Andes chocolate at the counter when you pay :D read more

Typically I really like why thirsty, they make excellent tea to order but today was different. I ordered premium milk tea to go, less sweet with boba. I was running late and didn't try the tea for 10 minutes and I was too far away to turn around and get a refund. The tea was sticky sweet and the boba was very hard and undercooked. I've been here probably 20 times enjoying tea and occasionally food (excellent value) and I've never been disappointed. Today the tea was terrible. It was the same staff and mostly empty, there wasn't any excuse. I called to complain and the girl on the phone apologized but didn't offer a refund a refund. They are off my list, sadly. Enjoy my video review here. http://instagram.com/p/e0vYX3QGHA/ read more

Went here since I think the name is funny and it's close to work . Conveniently located next to Trader Joe's. Anyhow I can't recall what I ordered. To me all boba tastes the same lol. I need someone to educate me on this :-) What makes for good boba. Since usually I get the milk tea and hold the boba lol. Service was good is all I know. Parking, lot. read more

Surprisingly this place has really good food for one of those "tea" places. The pork chop rice as mentioned is different, it's fried, but then coated with that garlicky sauce. Portions are huge and they give you a lot of variety of different little things on your plate including your pork chop (veggies, more different veggies, and minced pork). Service was quite good. It's casual and could be a little louder with distractions of TV, people coming in and out, and the AC, but overall. Nice place to chill and eat. read more

Basically, Why Thirsty is a lesser version of Ten Ren. First tip: it is in the same plaza as Trader Joe's, and right next to Bhanu Indian Grocery & Cuisine. It's very small and therefore easy to miss, but just remember it's right next to Bhanu. The dishes are similar to those of Ten Ren's, but are less various. I tried the beef noodles, and I expected the beef to be much better. Or at least nearly as good as what I have had before. But it wasn't. I ended up not even wanting to eat the noodles anymore (even though I was craving noodles beforehand) halfway through the bowl. The Railroad (which is pork and rice with some vegetable) was a bit strange in that the pork tasted unnatural. It was strangely soft and weirdly flavored. Drinks are okay, nothing to rave about. The jasmine green tea tastes like any other, and the premium milk tea is better than some. Price and service aren't bad, but the food isn't amazing. I would rather spend a few more dollars and go to Ten Ren instead. Or Bhanu next door. read more

Why Thirsty got its name for vowing not to use any MSG (infamous for inducing sleepyness and thirst) in any of their menu items. The owner is quite a passionate person who used to work in a technical profession. He understands customer service when I commented that the Formosa Premium Tea is on the lighter side, and he took it up on the house. The Railroad, their main staple of juicy, soft-skinned pork chop seems to be the most popular on the menu. The owner's own grandmother came up with the recipe, and he grew up eating the same food. Also sampled the popcorn chicken here, not as savory as Tapex's, but that's probably because of the lack of MSG. The food was well-balanced and light on the seasoning, but the service was outstanding, hence my four-stars for this new Taiwanese hole in the wall. read more

This is now one of my new favorite Taiwanese restaurant. My favorite used to be Sinbala, but now I'm kind of torn between these two. Why Thirsty not only have great food, but also great tea. I tried their Formosa sweet and it was very refreshing and not the usually artificial taste you get from other tea shop. You can tell just by the taste that they use real quality tea. The pork chop rice and dried noodles we ordered are both awesome! Taiwanese sausages were not bad, but I still like the Sinbala version better. read more

Railroad Pork Chops - Although the consistency was a bit different the two times I tried it, they do a great job making a healthy pork chop. Meat is lean and not fried. All vegetables are super fresh and crisp. It's the most guilt free pork chop in town Mince Bowl - This dish tastes like they made the healthiest minced meat bowl possible with just enough flavor for it to still be yummy. Very little soy sauce/salt used. Another guilt free entree. Formosa Tea - Pretty solid, definitely can taste real tea being used. Rose Jasmine Tea - Loved it. Excited to see if this place holds it's quality. If so, it's hopefully going to force other taiwanese tea/cafe type places to step it up! read more

Great food, excellent service They can make any adjustment according you needs. Such as less salty/oily/rice...etc. Their drink is very nice too, tea are freshly made everyday. Boba are so sweet and chewy. Recommend to ppl love Taiwanese food. read more

Their boba milk tea, though.... If I could come everyday for their boba milk tea I would... Too bad they're closed Sundays. You know why it's so good? It's FRESH. No joke. It takes a longass time if you order it there and wait for it. Call in before you go in... give it 10-15 minutes. The boba is delicious. Chewy, not stale/hard, flavorful and the milk tea.. omgod. If anyone has gone to Taiwan, you know 50嵐? That shit is dank, right? Well, this is equivalent to the milk tea there! Finally found my HG place for boba milk tea. Tasty Togo is pretty good too but this place makes me feel nostalgic and makes me miss Taiwan D: Oh and they have a stamp card! :D wompwomp. Their railroad lunch special is bomb. But I come here mainly for the boba milk tea :) read more

The Taiwanese comfort food I crave! The beef noodle soup is amazing and comes loaded with enough veggies to satisfy this veggie lover. Also love their honey sausage plate. Our kids love their popcorn chicken plate. read more

The Formosa tea is really good here and the food itself isn't bad. I'm not huge on Asian food let alone Taiwanese food but this place was introduced to me by a taiwanese friend who loved this place-so it's gotta mean something right?;) read more

Tried this place for the first time. Wow, 'The Railroad' is really what the fellow Yelpers claim it is. Extremely juicy with a hard boiled egg. My favorite part is probably the veggies! Lightly sauted, not salty, and lots and lots of it! I hate it when you go to restaurants and they give you two slices of cabbage. Removed a star for the drink prices. Drinks starting at $2.99 is high IMO and its a new trend around town which I am disliking. read more

This place is really small and a little under-decorated. The wall paint is rubbed off by the backs of wooden chairs. They share a parking lot with several other stores including Trader Joe's. Was in the area, so dropped by this place to see what the fuss about the Formosa milk tea was about. Turns out, it's just oolong milk tea with a much more floral note to it. Personally, I feel the ratio of tea to milk is off. I order oolong milk tea from most of the stores I visit, and while the taste is fine, the ratio isn't what I like in a milk tea. This place is also way too small and too eatery-like. I walked in and a waft of food hits my face. Kind of discomforting, so definitely wouldn't come here to chill. I'd think about picking up a Formosa milk tea if I visit Trader Joe's, but wouldn't come back specifically for it. They have a stamp card system and the drinks are moderately priced. read more

quick facts: - cute place - hard to find - authentic taiwanese cuisine - cheap i was craving for taiwanese food but we were on our way to a music festival in pasadena so we didn't know the area that well. thank god for the BF, he yelped while on the freeway and came across this place and drove us straight here. it's in the same plaza as Trader Joe's and a handful of other ethnic restaurants and shops. When you see the name Why Thirsty, you don't really associate it with an asian cafe. but once you walk in, it's displays everything about it. the smell of taiwanese delights, the boba drinks on nearly every table, the small and intimate setting of the dining area and of course.....a TV playing chinese pop music videos. when we arrived, the place was crowded but luckily there was one table open. the menu is a simple one sheet with food printed on one side and drinks on the other. all the dishes are your typical taiwanese delights: popcorn chicken, fried tofu, pork chop rice, noodle soups..etc. drinks were your typical teas, milk teas and herbal teas with your choice of boba, aloe, grass jelly...etc. i ordered the mince pork rice bowl which comes with all the usually toppings of soy-soaked boiled egg, mince pork and relish (approx $7). it also comes with the side dishes which includes corn and scramble egg, sauteed veggies and cucumber/relish. my BF had the railroad pork chop rice with all the same side dishes as well. (approx $8) we also ordered a side of popcorn chicken and tofu tots (bits of fried tofu). everything was so delicious we literally cleaned our plates! this along with two large drinks for $16 per person, we walked out completely satisfied. the staff is friendly and prompt, they speak fluent and clear english! by the time we left the restaurant, there was already a crowd waiting outside to be seated. this is true hidden gem in the area. read more

5 stars for the Formosan Milk Tea! Haven't tasted milk tea better than this. The tea is very strong and flavor is not too sweet, but still ask for "less ice and less sweet." And for some reason the large just tastes better than the regular size... must be the proportion of milk and sweetener. I seriously can't get enough of this! As for the food, it's decent. Their sweet potato fries are quite delicious. The fried tofu bites are a bit small than what I expect. The beef noodle soup is pretty solid... although the beef can be a bit more tender like it was when they first opened. Beware.. you'll be finding yourself stare at the television the entire meal since it's quite distracting with all the dancing azn pop stars. read more

been back here another 5+ times since my last review and I've tried way more dishes. I'd like to the add, that the foolish women who reviewed on 6-25-12 clearly isn't keen to Taiwanese food and expects Chinese-garbage ala Panda Express-type food that's soaked in oil, salt, "flavorings" and other pre-made, stir-fry crap. Her and her daughter should just stick to Trader Joes to "save on the calories." If you don't understand something, don't try it and then blame everything on the establishment. It's such an American thing to do. Anyways, here are some dishes that I've tried since my 1st visit: --Crispy/Popcorn chicken is THE BOMB. Super large, meaty pieces of chicken. Mild is good but medium is even better if you prefer just enough spice. This is the only place in SGV that I would buy crispy chicken because its actually chicken and not just fried batter --The Fish Filet Lo Mein is delicious!! The fish filet is not battered and fried (like SO many places are), but lightly sauteed and the fish itself is soft, flakey, and very ample in portion-size. I ordered with the "sweet and spicy" sauce with the Lo Mein which I wouldnt recommend with the fish, but maybe with other sauces. --The "premium" beef lo mein is not-so premium. Not only is it one of the more pricier items on the menu, it's one of the weaker quality meats provided. The meat is not thick, juicy pieces of steak as one might envision. It's flimsy, saucy, and very very....thin or shaved? It didn't live up to its price nor the title "premium". DO NOT RECOMMEND! (until they change their recipe) --New favorite milk tea drink: Assam milk tea, think of it as a hydrid between green and black tea with more of a pop in flavor like black tea. However, it's not too strong where you feel the tea is overly brewed. I would recommend this drink with "less sugar" than usual if you prefer more of a tea taste. --Formosa Milk Tea is still an excellent choice, get it as-is as it's a very light drink that isn't heavy on sugar. The Lavender Milk tea is definitely one of the better lavender drinks I've had in my life. Does not taste like they poured perfume into the drink like all the other tea places, but is way more subtle, light and naturally fragrant in taste! read more

Mmmmm SO GOOD! Took everyone's recommendation on their railroad rice dish.... amazing! Took me back to the train in taiwan haha :D For only $7, it came with a huge portion. The pork meat was very good, wasn't dry at all. It came with half an egg, veggies, radish, corn and scrambled eggs, and rice. After I was done, I felt so stuffed haha. We also tried their Formosa milk tea, and I would say it's one of the best I've had! Bad news is that we were sitting right under the AC so it was REALLY cold. The vent is right above us so we turned into ice cubes. But the waitress did say that if we got too cold we can ask her to turn it up, so that's nice! I will definitely be back very soon :) read more
