I kept seeing fan Tuan in my social media feeds so I had to go get one myself to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Xiaoman Riceburrito is a pick up only place, there aren't any seats to eat your food there. I saw most customers taking their food and eating it in their cars outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The burrito itself felt small for the price, however it is quite filling. I ordered the original purple rice burrito with mild spicy sauce. I enjoyed the flavors a lot. Due to a work emergency I ended up having to eat my burrito 3 hours after I picked it up, but somehow the fried cruller inside was still super crispy. Not sure how they made that magic happen. Their seasonal mild spicy sauce which was indeed very mild but added a nice chili flavor. I would come back again to try the crispy version. read more

I loved it! It's a simple concept, you order on a machine and they bring out your rice burrito! No seating. It's in a strip mall with a parking lot. It was so good! We got the purple crunchy one! We had to ask them to cut it in half after the fact. It can be a little messy to eat but so yummy! read more

I finally got around to trying Fantuan for the first time and it definitely exceeded my expectations! Xiaoman Riceburrito is the perfect place to try out fantuan for the first time because their menu is limited to only fantuan and soy milk, so that's how you know that it's delicious! It's located in a small plaza so parking can be difficult, especially on the weekends. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their store is also small with a self ordering kiosk with no tables or chairs, so it's more of a grab and go spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The line was long on the weekend with a bit of a wait for our order, but it was well worth it! I ordered the Purple Riceburrito with mild spicy and my bf got the White Riceburrito with mild spicy. It tastes best when it's hot, especially because the chinese donut is still crispy! I do think that the rice to filling ratio could be better and that you could make it spicier because mild spicy does nothing LOL. However, the variation in textures and flavors made this such a delicious meal! The pork floss can make it a little bit drying, so it's good to pair it with one of their soymilks to wash it down! I got the Soymilk Black Tea and I love that they don't put ice in it so that the flavor doesn't get watered down! The Soymilk drink was my favorite part of the meal, especially because it reminds me of the Filipino tofu dessert called Taho! I honestly think that this is a great quick meal on the go so I definitely want to come back! read more

Rice was chewy, egg was tasty, and you tiao was super crispy - what's not to like?! I wish their portions were a bit bigger, but hard to find a solid fantuan place in the bay. I'd be excited to try their spicy version next time. The soy milk tea tasted a lot like a milk tea where soy milk was used as creamer, and we thought heavy on the tea flavor this time (although my dining companions thought they tasted more soy milk the last time they ordered). read more

I've had my fair share of rice burritos in the bay area. I got the purple rice crunchy fan tuan and it definitely was super duper crunchy wasn't really expecting that but I loved it! Overall the rice to filling ratio is good for a fan tuan. I think overall flavor could've been better but I mean for a general staple place I would recommend. Ordering and service was quick! [[HIGHLIGHT]]No place to sit and eat but this place is pretty quick to order and take out anyway so all good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They were alright. There was poor communication. There's barely a shop here. That wouldn't be an issue but their burritos are smaller and more expensive than another place that's basically just a rented kitchen. The crispy burrito is less crisp but that makes it easier to eat if you have a weak mouth. read more

First time trying fan tuan! I've had Xiaoman in mind for quite some time since it always pops up on my Yelp feed when looking for new food to try in the area.   They're located right by 10 Butchers. When we came in about an hour before closing, there was a fat line out the door. They're take-out only so definitely expect to be in and out; our order was ready about 5 minutes after orderin! Their menu / offerings were much smaller than I expected. I got the crunchy purple rice burrito and added pork floss (+$1) - this was super good!! TBH, I didn't quite know what to expect with this but I LOVED what it was stuffed with (especially as someone that looooves youtiao). Everything was super savory, crunchy, and hit the spot. Definitely a solid experience and I'd come back again in the future! read more

I stopped by this spot recently to grab a rice burrito, but left feeling a bit underwhelmed. On the surface, the burrito is well-constructed--it's packed with all the expected, basic ingredients you look for in a staple meal. However, the execution falls short where it matters most: the flavor. The entire burrito lacked necessary seasoning, leaving the rice and fillings tasting quite bland. Additionally, the portion size was noticeably smaller than I anticipated. The service experience matches the simplicity of the food: it is entirely minimal. You place your order via a tablet and then simply wait for your name to be called. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To its credit, the area boasts a very clean and well-maintained ambiance, providing a pleasant enough environment while you wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for a quick, basic bite, this might suffice, but it definitely needs a more generous hand with the spices to stand out. read more

Fan Tuan (rice burrito) is a personal favorite of mine and I'm so glad there is yet another establishment specializing in this delicious snack/meal! Xiaoman Riceburrito opens early for the breakfast crew and serves just a few items so you know their offerings are going to be top notch and made fresh. What helps them stand out from the rest of their competitors is their options starting from the type of rice to the inner ingredients, each combination creating a whole different experience for your mouth. When ordering, consider the type of rice. White will have a more glutinous texture and sweeter taste while the purple rice gives off a heartier consistency and more richer flavor. I prefer the purple rice but for the traditionalists, white rice is the way to go. If you're craving for more texture to your bite, get the crunchy version which includes crispy onion, beans, pickled veggies, crispy dough and braised eggs. The original flavor on the flip side, has pork floss so if you're looking for more umami with your fan tuan, you won't be disappointed! The rice exterior is soft and moist and as you get to the center, the flavor simply bursts out steaming through. For the price, they do seem pretty small but accounting for the richness of the flavors, source of the ingredients, and quality of preparation, it does seem rather fair. For hydration, their soy milk and soy milk with black tea are fantastic options. The soy milk isn't too sweet and when paired in a combo with the rice burrito, make a fairly priced meal. We ordered the meal as a takeout and they had everything we needed all packed up and ready to go. Straws for our drinks, napkins for the food, and all the burritos wrapped up tightly and labeled for our whole party to enjoy! A great to-go experience! Overall, Xiaoman Riceburrito will fill you up with a good balance of flavors and textures. For those that are on the go, this is a great place to pick up your meal. You'll get a taste of the traditional Taiwanese snack in one of the food Meccas of the Bay Area! read more

Finally got to try a spicy and crunchy fan tuan, but it was a lot smaller than I expected. I thought it would be the size of a burrito, but it's about the size of my hand for a bit over $10. I liked the fillings, but wish it had a bit more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is really small, no seats and mainly for pick up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered on the kiosk and they quickly brought out my order within 5 min. read more

Never had this as a Chinese person, but it was tasty and interesting! I got the purple rice with pork floss and black tea soy milk and it was convenient to eat and filling. I couldn't taste the you tiao too much with the amount of pork floss, but it was a nice overall taste. The black tea soy milk was really nice as it wasn't overpowering with one or the other taste, and the soy milk was delicious. read more

Been craving 饭团since coming back from Taipei. This definitely satisfied the craving! The tea egg wasn't dry and the 油条 was extra crispy. 豆浆was also not too sweet. All of this combo was 15 dollars which was a great deal! Though understandably the burrito was a little small. The place was takeout only been got the food really quickly. read more

Xiaoman Riceburrito - Combo 紫米卡滋+豆漿紅茶 / Purple Crunchy Rice Burrito + Non-GMO Soy milk Black tea (30% Sweetness) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Came back twice during my stay here for the IoT Convention. I haven't had authentic fan tuan in awhile so this place satisfied a craving. They come in 2 different rice choices (white or purple) and original or crispy. I got crispy both times. The inside is stuffed with marinated egg, pickled vegetables, fried crueller, and other items. They also serve fresh soy milk. You can order on their website or go in and use the touchpad terminal to place your order. After a few minutes, a store employee comes out to hand you your food. It's not quite like original fan tuan but it'll do. Breakfast was delicious. Would come back. read more

Expensive compared to Asia but they do it well here so I guess it's worth it. However, I would not get their soy milk. It's like $5-6 and super watery and mediocre read more

Xiaoman Riceburrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't realize it doesn't have seating, but otherwise a cute spot with quick and easy ordering and pickup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There wasn't any staff upfront since you can just order on the ipad, but if you are picking up you ring a bell on the counter and staff comes out immediately. Food was decent -- it got a little messy and I don't love that it was wrapped in plastic wrap, but flavors were decent. We couldn't tell the difference between the crunchy and the non-crunchy purple rice burrito, my crunchy burrito had soft purple rice and a crunchy thing inside, maybe an overfried 油条 (dough stick)？but the non-crunchy wrap had a similar crunch inside. It was hard to tell on the menu if when you select add pork floss, it adds extra pork floss to the original amount or if without adding pork floss, it would have zero pork floss. I liked the pork floss, but my partner found it a bit dry and overwhelming (in terms of overwhelming other flavors and textures). A bit pricey for what it is but overall a nice place to grab a quick bite! read more

If you want traditional Taiwanese breakfast rice ball, this is the place! The rice ball reminded me of Taiwan, it was very crunchy and tasty.

TL;DR: Definitely delicious fan tuan, but dang if the price doesn't sting a little bit. Sometimes it's worth it though. Food: They know how to assemble a good fan tuan--chewy sticky rice, delicious fillings, and crispy youtiao make for a really pleasant breakfast experience. I also like their black tea with soy milk--well-balanced and not too sweet. Service: Food is ordered at a digital kiosk and the staff bring it out when it's ready; interactions have been cordial, so no complaints here. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not quite applicable because there's no interior or exterior seating, but the storefront is well-decorated and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall I'll probably be a returning customer, but not a super frequent one. They know how to execute well, but fan tuan being kind of a street food makes the relatively steep price sting a bit. But I guess if you live in the Silicon Valley and not in Taiwan then it's what you've got to work with. read more

Got the crunchy rice roll with purple rice. It was delicious. Comes with egg fried dough, Taiwanese vegetables, and I added pork floss.

This was boring. If youve never had fantuan before maybe youll like it. If you have had it in taiwan then this will be almost flavorless.

Filling, delicous breakfast on the go. Purple rice, pork, saurkraut, other goodness wrapped up in a portable little flavor bomb. Note that these are smaller than "mexican" burritos - about the size of my hand. But still very filling! The soy milk tea is also different than what you can usually order at boba places but it's the perfect drink to wash down the burrito with. Logistics: - no seating indoor or outdoor, takeout only - limited street parking in front read more

These little man rice burrito fantuans sure are tasty! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We stopped by here for a Sunday lunch and it was quite busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small grab and go place with no tables or seats inside for dine-in, so we took our rice burrito to a nearby park to enjoy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the Crunchy Purple Rice Burrito. The first thing you'll notice is that it's quite small -- it barely measures as a 6-incher in length! Yes it's quite GIRTHY but $10 for that length was a bit disappointing. The first bite bust a symphony of savory Szechuan seasoning, crispy fried Chinese dough, and crunchy pickled veggies in my mouth! Unlike other fantuans I've tried this is definitely a more flavorful and well-seasoned one. The purple rice exterior is sturdy and keeps everything together neatly. Parking wasn't difficult with a spacious parking lot in the plaza. Would come back the next time I'm craving more fantuan! read more

I really love fantuan, basically rice balls usually made with glutinous rice so it's more filling, more chewy, and stick together better. There are regional versions, of course, but Xiaoman's decidedly Taiwanese, with salty preserved daikon, crunchy youtiao (Chinese donuts), umami-filled Taiwanese sauerkraut filling the insides. You can also get it without the crunch, but to me that's the entire point. The rice is done well. Each grain sticks together but aren't mushy. It's actually quite hard to pull off -- soaking the different kinds of rice, cooking it with the right ratio of water, cooling it slightly to let off some steam. Beyond that, the rice burrito is on the small side (they usually come gigantic in Taiwan), and I'd say it tastes pretty good but didn't evoke memories of the rice balls I've had. I was looking for something more savory, more substantial... and maybe of a slightly different style. Overall, I'm so glad we now have this in the Bay Area. It's something I might get if I'm in the area -- but it's not so good that I'll travel for it. read more

Been seeing fantuan go viral on TikTok so wanted to give it a try! You can order online or on a kiosk in store. I got a purple rice crunchy burrito and soy milk combo for $14. Not bad for the price, the burrito is small but it was more than enough, super filling! The soy milk didn't have any sweetness so not my favorite. The burrito had a good rice to filling ratio and was crunchy! However the crunchy part is deep fried and had an overwhelming oily taste. Overall it was good! read more

Xiaoman definitely fills a void in the Bay Area for Taiwanese breakfast options. I really appreciate that they have a veggie option as well! Hopefully they can open a spot in SF ;). We ordered the purple rice crunchy burrito combo. Fillings included were: crispy onion, nori crispy bean, sauerkraut, pickled radish, youtiao, and a braised egg. You also get a cup of soymilk as part of the combo. The rice to filling ratio was a bit off; there was just a bit too much rice and I thought the youtiao was over-fried. I know they want it to be super crunchy, but I actually think it would taste a bit better with some gluten left in it. Also could've used more pickled veggies. The braised egg was a nice touch. Service was quick and it's takeout only, so you'll have to eat in your car or bring it somewhere else. Overall, it's an ok fantuan and I'd come back just to support more Taiwanese businesses (especially ones with veggie options!). read more

It was pretty cool seeing a fantuan spot in the Bay Area! I haven't had one of these since traveling in Asia. I got the crunchy purple-riceburrito ($8.99) and really enjoyed the variety of textures and flavors. Price is a bit steep for what it is. This fantuan included purple rice, nori crispy bean, pickled veggies, youtiao, braised egg, and crispy onion. I chose to add "mild spicy" which consisted of a spicy chili mix (chili, white sesame, peanut, sichuan peppercorn). The spice was barely noticeable but it was still nice to have a hint of it. I ordered online ahead of time and picked it up. Order was ready very quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store does not have any seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordering is done on a kiosk and staff from the back will assemble the fantuan and bring it out to you. read more

Tried the Taiwanese breakfast rice burritos at Xiaoman Rice Burrito in Sunnyvale and completely understand why people line up for these. The purple rice burrito looked simple at first, but every bite had something different going on, soft chewy rice, crispy youtiao, pickled crunch, comforting, and ridiculously satisfying all at once.[[HIGHLIGHT]]This is not your aesthetic brunch spot with overpriced avocado toast. It's tiny, busy, no-frills, and people are clearly here because the food speaks for itself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hearty without feeling too heavy and flavorful without trying too hard. Definitely one of those unpretentious food experiences that stays in your mind after. read more

When I am in the area, this is definitely one of my favorite to go spots! I am a fan of their rice burritos -- it is a perfect blend and combo of rice, meat floss, preserved veggies and egg.

Glad to have found this place -- what a gem! The wait times can be long but worth the wait! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Take-out only, no seating available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered the original white rice burrito + soy milk combo. I accidentally ordered the soy milk black tea, and they were super kind to switch it out for the regular soy milk for me. I was pretty impressed with my original rice burrito! I loved how the you tiao (deep fried breadstick) was crispy, as sometimes it can be chewy and hard to bite off in rice burritos. That was definitely my favorite part. The soy milk was ok, on the bland side and needed more flavor in my opinion. I also felt like prices were a bit steep and the rice burrito was pretty small for the price. I would come back again if I have the craving since I feel like there aren't many Taiwanese rice burrito places in the bay. read more

I love it here. If I could eat the fan tuans here every day I would. I have been ordering delivery often while working from home. My go-to order is the purple crunchy rice burrito with soy milk. It's nutritious, filling and healthy. It stimulates digestion because of the fresh ingredients and pickles from Taiwan. I have been to Taiwan twice and it is food heaven there. Xiaoman provides meals that are authentically Taiwanese. They remind me of the breakfast you can find walking down the street along Taiwan-- fresh soy milk everywhere. Xiaoman is one of the few places with authentic Taiwanese food in the Bay Area. It's hard to find good ones. The price point is not bad for the Bay Area. I believe they try to keep prices low and give a lot within the fan tuan itself. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop itself is very clean and you can also order in person.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is pretty quick and they are often busy here. I get delivery quite often here! read more

A store dedicated to four items on a menu? Yes and it is that good. I remember when this place didn't have storefront and I was running in and out for pick up because there was no place to park in the little room they rented at a strip mall. The ingredients speak for themselves and they actually list them on the menu! It feels like my childhood lunch bag and that's a good thing. Minus one star because it has gotten a bit pricier lately. 2 people with drink for 30$ which doesn't sound bad but the rice burrito itself was small. I'd say about the size of my fist (I am a medium/small old Asian lady) which even though tasty af, leaves me hungry 2hrs read more

Forever my favorite rice burrito spot! Years later and it's good! Small shared parking lot available When I got there, it was busy (a lot of people picking up). There was a kiosk to order. Very simple as they didn't have much options. I got the crunch purple rice burrito. It's so simple but sooo tasty with great flavors and textures. It's sweet, savory, crunchy, and soft. It's small but super filling. Can be a little messy when eating it though. IMO it's still better than a lot of places I tired. And they are efficient. Definitely my go to rice burrito spot. read more

My apologies Xiaoman Riceburrito, I was clearly not familiar with your game. I assumed too much from the name that it would be some sort of bizarre hybrid sushirrito spot, but I understand now. You're valid. My friend suggested Doordashing this spot while giving us a house tour of her new place, so my boyfriend and I ordered their original purple rice fantuan and I got soy milk with it- so so good! I've heard from my Taiwanese friends that this place is legit. The soy milk is also really nostalgic and not too sweet. It is a tad expensive, but incredibly filling and easy to pack up and save for the next day if you're looking to buy an extra or can't finish an entire fantuan at once for your meal. read more
