    T: Beef+Tendon Noodle Soup, Salty Soy Milk (small), Sweet Purple FanTuan B: Stewed Pork Ears, Marinated Cucumbers
    Julia H.

    Yi Mei is a classic Taiwanese food spot. Order & pay first. Seems like their Rice Roll (Fan Tuan) has been blowing up on socials. It can get crowded around lunch time. There's a self-service area for water, sauces, utensils and napkins. I feel like the water runs out a lot, so you just have to waive down some of the staff to refill it. For the Fan Tuans, I do like that when you order online you can enter if you want the Chinese Donut (YouTiao) to be extra crispy. I guess you can tell them that too when you're ordering at the front cashier. Classic Taiwanese breakfast options are available (soy milk - sweet or salty; egg omelette; Chinese Donut; Porridge, etc.); and they have some Taiwanese staples like the Sausage, Meatball, Beef Noodle Soup, Pork Chop Rice, Dumplings, etc. They also have pastries like the Curry pastry, Sun or Pineapple cakes. Restaurant space is clean and service is fairly quick (10-15 mins). after you order. Parking is shared with plaza and they do have an underground lot. Restrooms are fairly clean.

    Yi mei was a good tribute to Taiwanese breakfast. It reminded me of my vacation in Taipei with the food being authentic. Service was quick despite their short staff. The restaurant was plenty big to accommodate many parties.

    I enjoyed the Taiwanese breakfast here! The purple rice roll was tasty and really filling. It's good for sharing. You are able to self seat and order via the QR code on the table. There was limited interaction with the staff. there's a shared parking but it can get full quick.

    I had fond memories of having taiwanese breakfast in Taiwan so I was excited to have it again at Yi Mei! Came during lunchtime on a Sunday and waited only 10 minutes for a table. The ordering process was very simple, just scan the QR code at your table and pay through it too. Was mostly excited for the purple rice fantuan but was kinda let down. The overall flavor was bland, but the portion was huge. Also ordered a beef noodle soup but there was a lack of beef in the dish. The main stars of the meal was the chinese donut and pork xiao long baos. Youtiao and soy milk is one of the world's best food combos ever. The pork dumplings were delicious and can make anyone full.

    With the fan tuan going viral, I did decided to stop by to give it a try as well (not pictured), as well as ordering a pork chop rice. It's interesting how it's going viral, but I'm glad that it is. Fan tuan has spent one of my all-time favourite foods growing up, mostly because it is very carby, but also the Chinese donut and pork floss. It is a heavy item but definitely worth a try if you're hungry. The Chinese donut in the middle is crunchy and these pork floss gives it a perfect salty and savory combination. The pork chop rice is standard, but but that's a good thing. Crispy pork chop, marinated egg, vegetables on a bit of rice. What more could you ask for. If you're looking for a relatively quick meal, and has a hankering for Taiwanese food, you found a place. Make sure to order a soy milk to wash it all down. Interior is clean and services fast and friendly. Surface level parking is a bit limited, but they have underground parking shared with other stores nearby.

    This place is so good. Its my first time having a rice roll and it was burst with flavors. Rice roll 9/10 I got it with (Extra crispy Chinese donuts, eggs, pork floss, sour pickles, pickled daikon, korean sausage) I also got beef rice roll - 8/10 and daikon cake with fried eggs -The best daikon cake I've had! Solid 10/10. They even have daikon cake in the fridge for you to take home. Since I live almost 2 hours away, I had to buy 2 to take home. Can't wait to go back!

    Was craving Taiwanese food and found this place for a quick breakfast. Ordering food is a different process compared to other places. You find a seat/ table and you scan the menu and order from there and pay on the app. It's pretty much self service which is a good thing. Along with getting the condiments and water which are posted at the center service station with all the sauces. Ordered the chicken bowl and added sausage 4/5, get this is you're hungry. Popcorn chicken 4/5, good spice and kick to it. Sticky rice roll with Chinese donut 4/5, gonna have to try the black rice version next time. Sitting at some tables can be communal as you're sitting next to someone else.

    Great service, a kid-friendly atmosphere, and delicious food! I will definitely be coming back. We tried the soybean drink, which was very fresh, along with the sticky rice with fried dough and popcorn chicken. Everything was enjoyable, and it's a great spot for families. I look forward to returning to try more dishes.

    Food was good. Soy was not extra ordinary but clean and tastes like soy. Beef soup was not comparable to Lao Xi or Din Tai. Portion was good. Price point was moderately ok. Taste was really good for those rice rolls. Staff taking order were nice but they are pretty staffed so I don't understand the lag. Person who delivered our food was sweet but she couldn't answer questions.

    Parking lot structure available Came on a Sunday for lunch and had to wait about 30 mins for a table. It's pretty much self service. You scan the QR code to order your food from the menu. There's a counter for self serve water and sauces, utensils etc. We tried a few different things on the menu but I think their best item is just the popular fan tuan! I love how crispy the donut is and you can add extra toppings like with an egg, sausage etc.

    One of our favorite places for Taiwanese breakfast, Yi Mei should be on people's must try list. I love coming here for their fantuan which are reasonably priced and so hearty! When you head to the location you may see a long line. Don't be deterred! A majority of the patrons are there for take out. For sit down, you will order and pay first and seat yourself. Everything is priced reasonably and large portions that you'd definitely get your bang for your buck. For this visit we ordered (of course) the salty fantuan which includes egg, pork floss, Chinese donut and we added in a Chinese sausage which is more on the salty side than sweet. We also got a sausage and meat plate, an egg pancake and of course their savory soy bean milk. Everything came out quickly and tasted amazing. Definitely try out this location if you're looking for delicious food and at a great price!

    Salty soymilk. My happy place.
    Stephanie C.

    It was our first time at this location and we really liked it! It's spacious, clean, bright, convenient self ordering by scanning a QR code at the table, quick service, and yummy food! The daikon cake was fried so perfectly! Highly recommend! We dined in on a Wednesday and it happened to be Daikon Special day of $3.75. Woohoo!

It's one of the default lunch spots for us when we can't decide where else to go and everyone likes their food. The one negative I can point out is the parking situation. It does fill up and sometimes difficult to find a parking spot during busy times. We just have to plan to have our lunches a little earlier and carpool from our office.

They opened and closed the door for us which was a nice touch because it was busy inside. We ordered the pork ramen, pork buns, and pork soup dumplings. On to the food! Pork Ramen: 3/5 They give you a hefty amount of noodles and pork. They use a thin noodle here which pairs well with the broth. I truly do believe this was around average for ramen as the flavor in the broth was not as strong or savory. The highlight of the entire entree was definitely the pork, which was tender and flavorful. I probably would not order this again. Pork bun: 5/5 The pork buns were soft and fluffy, almost too good looking to eat. There was the right amount of soup and meat inside that made for a wonderful bite full of flavor. Not dry at all. Would recommend ordering this if you visit. Pork Dumplings: 5/5 The star of the show, the dumplings. They were soft and just like the buns, they had the right amount of soup + meat which made for a delicious bite every time. My toddler even ate some and she's usually super picky about meat. Overall, I'd definitely recommend coming here for the other noodles, the dumplings, and buns. You can skip on the ramen. I would 100% come back here to dine in. Quick note that parking gets full pretty quick here.

My sisters-in-law who live in the area highly recommended this spot when we were deciding on a Sunday dinner the night before we flew out. Among the four of us, we ordered: - Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) - Biang Biang Noodles: least numbing of the noodle dishes we ordered. If you LOVE carbs and not a lot of sauce, this one's for you! - Dandan noodles: this thin noodle dish is slightly more numbing than the Biang Biang noodles, but still bearable and tasty. - Chongqing Special Noodles: most numbing of the three! I had to pause eating this a few times as it was getting a little uncomfy! The noodles are side but thinner than the Biang Biang noodles. I liked that we ordered noodle dishes each with different noodle types, flavors, and spice levels. The Biang Biang noodles were respite from the Chongqing Special Noodles, while the Dandan noodles had the right amount of peanut flavor and "mala." We arrived 45 minutes before closing on a Sunday night (it was a holiday the next day though). We were surprised that there was still a line of people wait in for seats close to closing time! Thinking we weren't going to be seated, we decided to order for takeout. We ended up being the last party to be seated! The staff was kind to transfer our takeout orders as dine-in dishes! The staff had the right amount of customer service and attentiveness for a Chinese restaurant, if you know what I mean haha.

The prices are very reasonable for the quality, and the portions are generous. Highly recommended if looking for authentic, satisfying noodles!

Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is.

The…read moreother two ordered tsukemen ($26.50 for the spicy deluxe and $23.50 for the spicy chasu) and found it very salty because they chose to consume it not by dipping the noodles in the bowl of broth, but rather by pouring all the broth from the bowl into the noodles, trying to recreate a normal bowl of ramen. I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking.

We finally went in and ordered a bunch: the Spicy Beef Shank Rice Noodle, Rattan Pepper Sliced Beef Rice Noodle, Popcorn Chicken, Sesame Balls, Popping Brown Sugar Rice Cake, Fried Milk Rolls, and Fried Taro Balls. Everything was outstanding. The noodles were amazing--fresh, chewy, with high-quality ingredients you can really taste in every bite. The broths had that perfect spicy kick without being overwhelming, and the beef was super tender. My wife and I couldn't stop eating; literally everything we tried was delicious. She especially loved the Fried Taro Balls--they were crispy outside, soft and flavorful inside. The sides/snacks were all hits too: the Popcorn Chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, the Sesame Balls and Popping Brown Sugar Rice Cake brought great texture and sweetness, and the Fried Milk Rolls were a fun surprise. Service was top-notch--shoutout to Icey, who took such great care of us. One of the best and most attentive experiences we've had in a while. If you're in Alhambra and love good food, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won't go wrong here--highly recommend! 5 stars all the way.

    Was craving rice noodles so decided to give this place a try as it's been on my radar. I think it…read morewas okay, but not as amazing as I expected. Menu option is kind of limited. I went with the tomato and sliced beef for $14.99. This came with bean sprouts, which I wasn't aware of, and there was a lot of bean sprouts inside - almost as much as there was rice noodle. Not a fan of bean sprouts but will eat if I need to, but in this case - it totally overwhelmed the dish. There also wasn't enough rice noodle for me. Everything else was good, but that kinda blew it for me. Also got the spicy soup with beef and tomatoes. This is more of a gentle burn in spice they slowly works its way up. It's good if you like spice. Restaurant wasn't too busy when we arrived but got a good amount of customers by the time we were leaving. Workers are friendly. Not sure if I'd be back though. Lots of street parking or a small lot to the side.
