Leek pie. Delicious
James L.

I've known about Yung Ho for many years, as we came here to grab some handheld foods before driving to Vegas. This is my first time dining here for some Taiwanese breakfast items. The inside is small, dated and resembles an eatery from Taiwan; meaning they don't focus too much on decor and ambiance. Where they lack, it's balanced out by the nostalgic comfort food. We went with some familiar items: Chinese donut was fresh, slightly crispy, fluffy and a decent size. Perfect for dipping in sweet soy milk or on its own. Ginger soy milk was surprisingly good. It's a perfect balance, you taste the ginger and the sweetness of the soy milk without one overpowering the other. I'd get it again. But is you order plain sweet soy milk, you'll have to add your own sugar to taste. The beef pan cake (not pancake) had good flavor but the pastry part was a bit dry and hard on the edges. The texture seemed like leftover from the previous day, then reheated. The leek pie was very good. Fresh and flaky shell stuffed with the right amount of leek. I also got a giant almond cookie before leaving. It was a bit dry and crumbly. They're displayed by the counter near the entrance. Besides serving simple breakfast items, Yung Ho also have lunch items like rice and noodles. The people here are friendly with a warm smile, and it has that family owned small business vibe. We will definitely be back. The parking lot is small and shared with a few other businesses, but I never had problems finding a spot. Side note: Yung Ho located next to Arcadia Donut, another family owned small business that I like to support, and who happened to be survivors of the Monterey Park mass shooting.

XLB... very X (Xiao-- the X in XLB) or small and not juicy which is just fine for my seven year old

This is my new go to spot for traditional Taiwanese (Chinese) breakfast. Four Sea(s) AKA Sihai is good but I prefer the atmosphere here at YungHo as it has better seating, more extensive menu, and not to mention way better service. As always I like to start with the great history of this place. Even if this particular restaurant doesn't have direct lineage to the original brand YungHo, its menu and main dish reflect the founding and philosophy of YungHo. YungHo was founded in 1955 by a retired Chinese soldier from ShanDong. Its original location is at one end of the bridge at the cusp of YungHo District in what was once Taipei County (now New Taipei City). Its exclamation point in establishing its prominence in food excellence was when Madame Chiang visited the place since she was a food enthusiast. Back to present times, this YungHo may not be spot on with all the original flavors but the main items of soybean milk and Chinese donut (YouTiao) are solid. The hardest dish to master is the rice roll (FanTuan) and they came through with that as well. Last but not least I cannot leave out my younger son's favorite, Xiaolongbao (XLB) or steamed buns. This is definitely not a YungHo dish but it's a popular item here. Don't expect them to be the juicy XLB at DTF because they are not exactly juicy. Rather they are homemade and still quite tasty without the juice. So be aware if you like lots of juice in your XLB. Until next time I see you, YungHo. Of course I cannot wait to visit the original location in YungHo, soon!!

Wow, I missed this place when I moved to the East Coast. There's a bunch of poser Taiwanese fusion breakfast spots in NYC, and they're overpriced and subpar. There's no line here on a weekend morning for brunch. Meanwhile, in East village, you'll have to wait like 3 hours for Ho Foods, and their food is twice as expensive and a fourth the quality. The fried dough here is fluffy on the inside and cripsy on the outside. I don't have to order a set menu. My favorites are the egg pancakes. Probably each dish is under $7. The service is no frills and quick. If you order the normal soy milk with not the "salty" version( that one has tofu chunks and sesame oil,etc. to make it savory), then you control your diabetes level. There's a sugar glass on the side and you can pour as much as you want?!?!

What is this??? 3 pieces of lamp for an $18 dish? Makes me sad to see this place. Try harder.

Food is great as always. Now they offer mobile ordering with QR code. So nice. I will use it next time.

Taiwanese pork folded bun (gua bao)

Made to order, extremely fast Taiwanese street food style service, with classics like gua bao, meat balls, vege buns, and hot soy milk

Was craving Taiwanese breakfast and decided to check this spot out for the first time. The menu is quite extensive! I got a number of dishes including shao bing (plain and with egg), you tiao, soy milk, scallion pancakes with egg, beef rolls, beef noodle soup, xiao long bao, and stinky tofu. Overall the food didn't taste fresh. The shao bing was more tough than crispy. The XLB was not juicy at all and the skin was thick and a bit dry. One item that was made well was the radish omelet, which had a good texture and taste. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is in a small plaza with easy parking.

Egg pancake with Chinese donut
Vicky W.

I was born and raised in Taiwan!! Growing up with traditional Taiwanese breakfast and this restaurant warms my heart with their food-- the taste of home. The parking situation is quite easy and there's always no issue to find a spot on weekdays and weekends. They accept cash and card and I usually place phone orders and pick up, it's quite convenient. No outdoor seating only dine-in. ⁣ ⁣ Here I present my favorite Taiwanese breakfast item- Egg Pancake stuffed with Chinese Donut (You Tia)!!! The outside is crunchy with a slight savory flavor, inside is the freshly deep fried dough, nice a warm and very crispy. Every bite is full of flavors and layers of texture. ⁣ ⁣ If you are hesitant about trying Taiwanese breakfast, this is the place to fulfill your appetite and cheer up your tastebuds.

Vegetarian rice roll with egg
Judy T.

As a vegetarian, I was happy that they had vegetarian options. We got a rice roll with egg, salty soy milk, and a vegetarian fried rice cake. It was all very delicious. I liked that they added seaweed for a little more umami. Staff was friendly and not overly attentive. The flavors weren't too salty either. Pricing was decent for what we ordered. I would definitely go back. for some comforting Taiwanese breakfast.

You tiao. So light and crispy!!!!
Helen F.

Sometimes you're just in the mood for some taiwanese breakfast, soy bean milk, fried you tiao, so thats what i came for. When i sat done i heard the man from another table talk about the you tiao and i asked him, "is it not good here? Then i'll order something else" he replied "no it's the best here! Light and crispy not so doughy.." he was right!! Soy milk was super flavorful and not watered down. The you tiao was probably the best that i've had in a long while. I ordered the meat stew soup and man! Packed with flavor! Fantuans were so good too! To be honest, i was really full by the time i got to the turnip cake. Reheated later it was really good too! I ordered alot, so i had alot of leftovers to pack (on purpose) .. i think they thought i didnt like their food. It hit the spot and brought back memories when my mom took me to yung ho in taiwan...

Delicious food and good amount too. The prices are fair and Taiwanese style is the most authentic…read more Highly recommend.

Decided to give this Taiwanese cafe a second try and I had a better experience than my Doordash…read moreorder. It's located inside a busy shopping plaza so parking can be difficult, especially on the weekends. It's open daily 7am-7pm Service was average since this is one of those " pay at the counter for the food and take a seat" kind of place. However, it would have been nice if the cashier told us to grab our soy milk from the fridge or at least handed it to us after we ordered it. We were waiting 15+ minutes for the items only to go up to the counter and realize that we were supposed to get it ourselves but we're never told to do so. It's quite small inside but there is a decent amount of seating Pricing is resonable and nearly everything is under $15! The Curry Pastry ($2.60) was pretty good. It would've been better if it was more crispy but the filling was very delicious and had plenty of curry and beef! The Sweet Soybean Pudding ($4.50 - large) was delicious! Be sure to let them know to put the syrup on the side otherwise they combine it for you! The tofu was very soft, silky, and fresh. I was very relieved that the syrup wasn't too sweet since they combined it inside. The Soymilk ($4.25 - large) was very sweet and didn't have much of a soybean taste. It would have been better if it wasn't so sweet so I could taste more of the soybean. NOTE: they offer salty soymilk and soybean pudding but it's +$0.25 more than the sweet Soymilk and soybean pudding! The Peanut Milk ($4.25) was pretty good. It was very creamy and nutty! If you like peanut butter, then this is a must! It wasn't too sweet and it was very refreshing. Overall, I liked the soybean pudding more than the Soymilk and the prices were reasonable so I most likely will recommend and return!

SinBala - Arcadia…read more SinBala is one of the rare Taiwanese restaurants that has stood the test of time. I grew up eating here. There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories. I come for the Taiwanese classics that are becoming harder to find. The popcorn chicken is still one of my favorites--crispy, fragrant, and seasoned the way Taiwanese street vendors do it. The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.

Came for Taiwanese shaved ice. Honestly the only one in the area it seems doing it traditional…read morestyle - shaved ice not show, lots of toppings. A bit sweeter than my preference but maybe cuz I put condensed milk on it as one of the toppings. The grass jelly shaped firm and nice cubes so possible it's from a can as opposed to in house. Sausage I had as well not the best I've had but traditional flavor and served with lots of garlic on the side (wahoo!)

The lady at the cashier was so sweet and friendly. She patiently introduced me to their menu and food, made recommendations. I'm very pleased by her customer service. It is a small to medium restaurant, nice and clean throughout. Very welcoming like a family restaurant. It was a to-go order and they packed the food pretty well so the noodles don't get soggy. The flavor is so rich with layers, beef is braised so tender and the portion is super generous. My family and I enjoyed everything very much. I can't wait to go back and try more.

Solid spot for Taiwanese beef noodle soup & other Taiwanese noodle dishes!…read more Got the half tendon half meat beef noodle, and the broth is a solid soy based brasied broth with the tendon was cooked down to a soft gelatinous texture! The beef pieces were tender as well, no tough pieces at all, which is always nice. The cold noodle was a surprise for us. It's hard to find good sesame cold noodles and Xiang Ji has one of the better ones we've tried. Also got the Braised Combo Plate, which came with egg, seaweed, bean curd, and peanuts. Everything was good but still not a fan of soft peanuts! A lot of people had a bowl of beef noodle along with dumplings, but we were too full to try the dumplings. Definitely want to try next time!

Yummy Taiwanese food! Another review by David L. mentioned this place was similar to Sinbala and I…read morecan attest that it truly is similar. I ordered the pork chop rice and the pork chop had a great crispy exterior and was very juicy as well. The dish came with sauteed cabbage, half a tea egg, sauteed corn/peas/carrot mix and a bean curd. Portion was large and I was able to eat half for another meal! My friend got the chicken chop rice and the portion was even bigger than the pork chop rice! I will come back to try that one. Our group also ordered the popcorn chicken and that was juicy as well. Wished they added thai basil to the popcorn chicken but it was still delicious without it! Would 10/10 come back again.

forgot @Jessica W. reviewed that this place changed owners. we liked their food from the past…read moreowner 牡丹/Chef. so hubby and I brought my mom and my MIL here for dinner on a Friday evening around 7pm. the place was small to begin with and it's packed with only 1 table of 4 left. the inside was upgraded/remodeled so it looked a lot cleaner than the previous restaurant. new menu design but basically the same dishes are available plus there're some Taiwanese street food. we found out the owner changed but they kept the same chef in the kitchen. when the dried tofu with pork 香乾肉絲 was served and my mom has the most picky tastebuds, without asking she said "this dish is very good". personally I was impressed with the cutting skill for the dish as both the pork and dried tofu are cut very thin so the flavor can easily get into the tofu and pork. and the dried tofu was soft like a noodle. the eggplants was also very tasty with lots of basil flavor. compared to the other 2 dishes, the braised tofu 紅燒豆腐 was ok as the sauce is a little too thick. and the fried chicken was bland. service was good and attentive. we would come back to have (don't need to try as it's the same chef) their famous "kidney with sesame oil 麻油腰花" again.
