Best pork chop rice in town. The batter is thick, crunchy and very tasty. Very friendly staff and the place fills up quickly during lunchtime even on a weekday. read more

Yummy Taiwanese food! Another review by David L. mentioned this place was similar to Sinbala and I can 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. read more

Totally forgot that All In Cafe was in the Stater Bros. shopping center and cooking up delicious Taiwanese food. I ordered the beef noodle soup (half tendon and half meat), pork chop rice and the simmered combination (cold dish of beef, beef tendon, pig ears, bean curd and seaweed tossed in spices including peppercorn) I wanted the stinky tofu too but didn't get it in the end. The pork chop was very tender but would have liked them to put more meat gravy over the bowl of rice with the combo. But, all food here is legit and if you've not tried Taiwanese food, you should. Taiwanese food is good food! read more

I love this place. There aren't that many true Taiwanese cafés still around, and All In Café holds its ground. They offer the classic street food staples--beef noodle soup, pork chop rice, popcorn chicken--but they also have proper dinner dishes meant for sharing. Most plates run around $17-$19. It's not positioned as cheap eats, but the portions justify the price. Flavor-wise, this place edges out many other Taiwanese cafés by an inch. It may not be dramatic, but it's noticeable. The cooking feels closer to home-style Taiwanese flavor. Not as spicy as Szechuan. Not as sweet as Shanghai. It sits in between--balanced and comforting. Strong recommendations: * Beef in satay sauce * Sautéed pork kidney in sesame oil * Shredded pork with bean curd These dishes really capture that Taiwanese home-cooked essence. Service-wise, don't expect polished restaurant-level attention. My first visit felt a bit "meh"--it seemed like the staff had a rough day. The recent visit was better. It's casual and straightforward, which matches the setting. If you're looking for honest Taiwanese flavors with solid portions and dishes you'd recognize from a family kitchen, this place delivers. read more

Was craving some Taiwanese food and saw this place was new. It was right next to stater bros plaza with plenty of parking. The pork chop rice was delicious! The meat was tender and crispy, not too oily. The portion was also pretty large, shareable as well. The sides included corn/ham, bok choy, and tofu. Wished there were a little bit more of the pork sauce over rice! Will come back next time to try their beef noodle soup. read more

All In Cafe - Pork chop - Taiwanese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I was on my way home and craving some Taiwanese food. I saw this place pop up on Yelp, and it looked like one of the older establishments that had changed owners but still kept the same chef. I went on a Monday for lunch, and it was packed, with only one staff member on the floor. Thankfully, they had one corner seat for one person, which is super unique. The restaurant itself looks clean and simple with wooden tables and chairs. My cousin, who lives nearby, recommended the pork chop rice, and I also ordered some vegetables, which ended up being a huge plate. The pork chop was crispy and so flavorful, it reminded me of Taiwan. It came with some bachoy, half an egg, and tofu. The veggies had a pork-braised sauce on top, which went great with rice. I couldn't finish everything, so I took the rest to go. I had to wait for a while since the staff was super busy with other tables, but I didn't mind. I'd love to come back another time and maybe try their stir-fried dishes or individual plates when we have a group to share and try more! read more

All In Cafe recently took over a popular Chinese restaurant, new owner but the same kitchen team. It is so new that it has no outdoor signage yet. It has 3 waitresses to serve a dozen square tables and 1 round table for maybe 8 people. The combo appetizer is decent with sliced beef, tendon, pig ear, bean curd & seaweed. Fried oyster mushrooms was interesting. The braised beef noodle was good. We liked eggplant with basil too. Spicy pork intestine with tofu/blood and hot and sour soup was just okay. Rice is $2.50/bowl. While water is free, soda is $2.00 and hot tea are $5.00 each. read more

A nice quiet neighborhood spot in Rowland Heights without all the crowds with authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Popcorn chicken is juicy, flavorful and perfectly crispy crust balanced with 5 spice and salt. The sesame paste noodles is creamy and smooth without using any peanuts as a cheap filler. Delicious! Service was very fast and friendly. Good quality food and no hype. Cozy and clean dining room too. read more

Surprised to see this place took over a pretty popular restaurant that had been there for many years. Don't know if this is a rebrand since the old name is still on it or these guys bought them out. We arrived around 1130a n place was starting to get busy. By the time we'd left people were waiting outside. We ordered dishes we liked. Seemed to me, everyone ordered pork chop rice. I thought it wasn't bad. Pork chop could be a bit less greasy however. The corn on the side was avg, bland. We also got beef noodle soup. The beef was pretty tender n noodle was firm. Most importantly the soup was savory. Definitely one of the better ones compared to other places. Sauteed pork kidney was delicious. The umami flavor was there. The texture was there, not too soft either. This was their best one. Lastly, we got the spicy pork intestines n blood. Tasted pretty good but too many intestines n not enough blood cubes. Overall, it was worth returning. If you pay cash, there's discounts. read more

My hubby and I always tend to pick Taiwanese food for dinner! I was yelping and All In Cafe came up. I actually wanted to try this place when it was located in Temple City but now they have relocated to Rowland Heights. All In Cafe is located in the Stater Bros plaza. There is parking and this place doesn't have a sign up yet. I ended up ordering two orders of the fried pork chop rice. They do come with braised pork chop if you don't want fried. The rice order came with two type of veggies, a piece of tofu, and half a boiled egg. The veggies were okay, tofu and egg has more flavors, and the star was the fried pork chop. It was fried golden and the pork wasn't too dry. It was a good pork chop dish. The service was good. The ladies were super nice. Overall, if you're cravings for some good Taiwanese food come check this place out. read more

All In Cafe - Fried pork chop rice - Taiwanese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Located in the Stator Bros shopping center just off of Colima and Fairway. May be hard to find the restaurant since I didn't see an outdoor sign when I went at night. A family run type of restaurant. The servers were very friendly and welcoming. We ordered the pork chop rice and braised pork belly rice. Both were very good and nice portion sized. We also got a couple of drinks. The drinks seems a bit light in sweetness. I don't mind since I don't like my drinks too sugary, but I could see how others may think they're not sweet enough. Overall, a nice place if you're in the mood for Taiwanese food and snacks. read more

Really good authentic Taiwan flavors! I had bookmarked this place when they first opened in temple city, so I was surprised to see them move to Rowland already! Due to the move, they did extend the menu. The restaurant is a bit tight with only a handful of tables. I ordered the chicken cutlet rice and loved it!! The chicken cutlet was so juicy and crispy, it definitely reminded me of Taiwan. My mom ordered the sesame noodle and was so excited to try it, but was a bit disappointed as it was lacking. She said the noodles were undercooked, the sauce was light on flavor, and it needed sliced cucumber or something to complete the dish. The kidney in wine and sesame oil was delicious, and extremely tender. I haven't had that dish in a couple years so I enjoyed it. It is a bit expensive for Taiwanese food, but id come back to try more! read more

人生總會遇到不同的人和事物，在每一段旅程中，你都會收穫到新的視野，感受到生命的變化，活著，當然不是只為了生存，更是為了遇見與體驗～ 我很愛吃的餐廳 牡丹，賣掉了， 新的名字叫 All in Cafe, 老闆也是台灣人，上禮拜特地過來瞧瞧，一樣的前台， 點了每次必點的麻油腰花麵線跟炒四寶， 我要自己親自來試試，才能確定師父仍是一樣，還好味道都沒變， 我們還是隨時可以吃到這很棒的麻油腰花，還點了盤炒米粉， 也道地，就是台式炒米粉該有的味道，最後，強迫好脾氣的朋友點牛肉麵，因為這道菜，以前沒有，我需要點道不同的來試試，所以他要吃碗牛肉麵，看他很快的整碗湯都喝完， 牛肉麵應該也是不差的，其實台灣胃的我， 常常一陣子就會想吃炒菜，但現在道地的台式炒菜真的越來越少，還好， 這家 All in cafe 以後我也會常常回來了， 這時就會覺得住在東區 是幸福的， 離家鄉那麼遠，但還是常常可以嚐到台灣的好味道！ read more

We visited All In Cafe for Sunday lunch. The main reason for our visit was to find out whether this new restaurant is still owned by the same team behind The Chef's Kitchen, which previously occupied this spot. We loved the Taiwanese dishes from The Chef's Kitchen, so we were curious. The good news -- according to one of the waiters -- is that the chef is still the same! We tried the following dishes: Spicy Pork Intestine with Tofu and Blood ($18.95) - Very good. Boiled Vegetables ($9.95) - Simple and tasty. Pork Cutlet Rice ($15.95) - Nicely done and satisfying. Four-Herb Soup ($14.95) - Great flavor and very comforting. The service was good, and I'll definitely return to try more dishes! read more

$15.95+ Taiwanese comfort bento box store food. Everything was okay. Decent for price but I wouldn't rave over it. Although, surprisingly I am in love with their fried oysters mushroom!! It has a crunch fried thin layer, and then regular texture of oyster mushrooms. You can dine in, or call to order takeout. If you're off the 60fwy and wanted to grab quick takeout on the way to Vegas, that's what we did. Small clean restaurant joint. All In Combo (fried items) $19.95: Taiwanese popcorn chicken + fish cake +oyster mushrooms + squid balls + sweet potatoes. Braised Pork Belly Rice $15.95 Pork Chop Rice $15.95. Kingchops still had a better pork chop. But overall quality of other items and selection was better at All in Cafe, according to the SO. They take credit card. But if you pay cash, it's cheaper. read more

Wanted pork chop rice and tried this place for the first time. Got the pork chop rice plate and braised pork plate. Overall it's solid. The portions were good, the braised pork was tender, and the pork chop had a nice crust. Also had the green milk tea and assam milk tea. Everything was pretty good, but it just misses the mark for me. I wanted just a little more flavor, a little more salt, and for the drinks, a little more sweet. I do want to come back and try the beef noodle soup because if a place can make that well, that's a good thing. Service was fine and its bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. There's no signage except a poster on the window so you have to look for it. But it's clean and bright inside. read more

All in cafe is a Taiwanese cuisine and eatery located in Rowland Heights. A party of 2 adults and 2 kids decides to eat lunch on a weekend here. The eatery is small and there is no public restroom. Service is good. We ordered popcorn chicken; it's fried chicken with basil and smells nice and tastes yummy. Beef noodle soup has good enough broth, pretty generous size on beef. Fried Pork chop rice is comfort food for most Taiwanese. It's done correctly. Overall the taste is quite authentic, they also offer sautéed Chinese / Taiwanese dishes. read more

Had a bunch of dishes here with my family. Overall everything was very tasty except one dish. - fried fish cake/fries/chicken: good taste and texture with a good amount of food - spicy intestine/pork blood: mild-med spicy level and everything tasted great and was tender. - sesame noodles: lacking in flavor and really the worst item - beef noodle soup: fairly good - fried rice noodles: not bad overall but not as good as I have had elsewhere - sesame oil kidney: so good, not too oily, and very tender It is a small restaurant but they have a couple larger tables. Our party of 8 fit comfortably. Overall the service was friendly. There is no public restroom for use. read more

Food is ok but over priced with small portion. Braised pork over rice not the best. Fried tempura and chicken is great.

It is genuinely challenging to find truly authentic Taiwanese cuisine, even here in Southern California, but All In Cafe delivers. Operating in the location that was formerly "Mu Dang" under a new Taiwanese owner, the café has successfully reinvented the menu to offer an even more diverse and traditional Taiwanese experience. The fried items are a true specialty here. We highly recommend ordering the Popcorn Chicken, the Taiwanese Fish Cake, and the String Beans. All are perfectly cooked and seasoned. While they do offer convenient fried item combos, please note that they are pre-selected and do not allow for personal mix-and-match choices. The Beef Noodle Soup is a popular item and definitely worth trying. The soup base has a lighter flavour profile, which nicely contrasts with the heavy, rich flavour of the beef, likely due to how the meat is marinated. This balance might surely appeal to many. However, for us, the beef is kind of on the salty side. The dish that stands out most is the Sautéed Pork Kidney in Sesame Oil with Somen Noodles. This is an absolute must-order. I would recommend asking for the noodles to be served on the side. The thin noodles can get quite soggy if left to soak in the hot sesame oil soup for too long. For drinks, the refreshing Winter Melon Oolong Tea is my top recommendation. All In Cafe is a reliable spot for quality Taiwanese comfort food. read more

This is such a gem of a place! If you want true authentic Taiwanese bento meals, this is the place! I feel like all the other Chinese restaurants really have taken a mainland twist. Reminiscent of the old Class 302 or Sinbala type food, if you've been to those restaurants. The pork chop rice combo that I got was super juicy and flavorful. It's one of their most popular menu items. The marinated egg was also excellent. For the price, this place is a steal! Service was also courteous and very fast! read more

10/10 SOLID Spicy half half beef noodles soup! How could I have not discovered this place sooner?? I just came back from Taiwan for my beef noodles soup expedition and I must say this place is so much better than any of the places I have gone in Taiwan, even better than Dai Ho and Corner Beef (sorry I know I might be in the minority on this) but anyway what a gem in Rowland Heights! Cash only for bills less than $20, plenty of parking! This is in the same plaza where Stater Brothers is. read more

Been on the hunt for the best Taiwanese pork chop rice in the area and stumbled on this spot through Yelp. Called in my order for an easy pickup, super quick and efficient. The pork chop rice was solid. Great flavor, nice crispy coating, and it came with some tasty veggie sides that I thought were pretty good. Right now they give a discount if you pay with cash, which is always a plus! Definitely a top contender for pork chop rice in the area. I'll be back for sure because I've heard their other items are good too. read more

Wow! Very authentic tasting Taiwanese dishes. Service was friendly and prompt. All the dishes we ordered took me back to Taiwan in terms of both flavor and execution.

I was a fan of their previous location in temple city and was excited to hear they opened up again in the area. We dined in around 12pm on a Saturday and was seated quickly, we ordered the sesame noodles, the fried combo c3, pork chop rice and minced pork over rice. Food came out quickly and everything was pretty tasty. I would prefer if they had offered different spice level for the fried combo since i was hoping for more spice and flavor. Overall it was a solid meal and a great addition for the area. read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. It was pretty packed. My husband and I took the last available table at the time. It seemed as if everyone got here at once because our food took a while. The store itself is pretty small. It only has 8-9 tables. My husband ordered the beef noodle soup, it was good and flavorful. I ordered the dry beef noodle- also yummy and flavorful. The two reasons why I took two stars off was because their green milk tea tasted really bland (had to ask for more sugar) & while we were about to leave the whole restaurant smelled like propane/gas. I had to tell my husband to hurry up and pack our food bc I was starting to feel a bit nauseous from the smell. read more

I think All In Cafe is one of those spots where everything tastes authentic and is done well. We had a bunch of dishes here on Sunday and every one was at least above average. We definitely have to come try more things out, but so far our impression is good. Beef Noodle / Tomato Beef Noodle - Very authentic taste. This is what you expect Taiwanese beef noodles to taste like and it's done well for what it is. Other places have unique spins on beef noodles with different spices or ingredients, this place just does regular beef noodles well. The meat in particular was very tender. My wife liked this spot quite a bit. Sour Cabbage Pork Intestines - The pork intestines were quite good and the sour cabbage tasted right. I did feel like these could have been separate dishes, I don't think they did much for each other. My wife said the intestines weren't fatty enough to warrant the acid, I'll take her word for it. Still a good dish that we happily ate. I think I'd go with the other intestine dish next time though. Egg Plant in Szechuan Sauce - This is exactly what you expected when you ordered it. The flavor profile is on point, and it's done pretty well. Zero surprises, tasty, and it beats making it yourself. Sauteed Pork Kidneys in Sesame Oil - Good enough that my wife drank the "broth" (according to my wife, I thought it was sauce), though it was clearly not meant as something you drink straight. There was an option to add somen to it, probably a better idea. The kidneys were not gamy at all, soft, very satsifying for what they were. Salmon Fried Rice - Solid fried rice. I think salmon in fried rice tends to be drier in general, but my kids ate all of it. The flavor and wok hei were there. Popcorn Chicken / Calamari - The popcorn chicken was good. The meat was moist, the fry was satisfying, not too oily, and it tasted like it should. Good texture, good flavor, solid dish. The texture of the calamari rings was also good with a very nice fry, though it was a bit salty. Shanghai Spare Ribs - I actually didn't get to eat any of these. The other people at the table got to them first. That said, everyone else said they were good, I'm inclined to believe them. Good, solid taiwanese food. I'm not suprised since I think it's the same team that ran MuDan that was here before. I don't think anything on this menu that you're familiar with already will surprise you. That said, it's likely to be a good solid version of what you were expecting, which is also nice to have. read more

Found this small gem while figuring out where to get Braised Pork over rice Food: Good food. Good taste. Not over seasoned nor as oily as ones we've had from other places. Ordered the Braised Pork over Rice, Braised Pork Belly Rice Playe and Mild Popcorn Chicken. Everything brought us back to various places we've had these dishes for the first time. Service: Great staff. Very friendly and engaging. They made us feel welcomed. Ambience: Clean small hole in a wall type of restaurant. I'd definitely come back here again read more

I really really like their porkchop! The seasoning is so good. The portion is also good for the price. If you like taiwanese style food, this place hits the spot. Small place, as it only has a couple tables, but definitely good for to go. Server was super nice and they have so many deals. Parking is very try easy. They use plastic forks and paper plates, so very cafe/picnic like. I don't mind because the price is very affordable and good. I plan to come back for the pork chop again. Maybe not a great place for a date, but good for ordering to go. read more

Was craving Taiwanese food while in Rowland Heights and saw this place. It was a bit confusing at first because the signage above the restaurant doesn't match its name yet, so be aware! I placed an order via phone ahead of time. The place is very tiny with only a handful of tables, but most of them were already filled with people happily chatting and eating. The interior still seems newly renovated, so they've kept and maintained it well. The ladies at the counter were very nice and greeted me warmly. My order was ready shortly after I checked in with them. They told me there was a 10% discount if paying in cash, which was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the pork chop rice, sausage rice, and fried king oyster mushroom. The mushroom was fried very well; it wasn't super oily or over-fried, and had plenty of seasoning. The mushroom tasted very fresh as well. The pork chop was also excellently fried, being very crispy while keeping the meat not overly dried which happens so often. The sausage was similar to most places' sausage dishes. We were very satisfied with everything! The portions are great, prices very fair, service wonderful. Support small businesses and give this amazing restaurant a try! read more

Order their pork chop rice, you will not regret it! The pork chops were the perfect texture and had the best crunch. It came out in black takeout boxes. Guess they don't like to wash their dishes. The inside tables and chairs look like hospital cafeteria design lol. Super friendly service and the owner said they opened in March which makes this spot fairly new. 15% if you pay cash and $10 minimum with cc. The drinks were $1 additional for combos during lunch hours. Easy parking right outside in the plaza. read more

We didn't know this place until we were at the strip mall and walked by there and found out about this place. The new owner told me that they have been taking over this restaurant for a few months already. My hubby and I tried the C4. All-In Combo with Taiwanese popcorn chicken, fish cake, oyster mushroom, squid balls, and sweet potatoes. ($19.95), I ordered the #18a Half-tendon and half-meat Taiwanese braised beef noodle soup. ($17). They first served us the All-In Combo, and it was a big tray with a lot of fried stuff, but without any rice. My hubby thought that it would have come with the rice. It did not look like an entree for him. We enjoyed the taste of their popcorn chicken, oyster mushrooms, and sweet potatoes. It was a pretty big portion, so we couldn't finish it all. The half-tendon & half-meat braised beef noodle soup was so flavorful, and the beef was so tender. Highly recommended! The service was good and I wanna order their beef noodle soup again! read more

Overall, food is average but the service is terrible. I don't think the beef noodle soup is very flavorful, there are other Taiwanese places in Rowland heights that seem just as good. The service was terrible. No one seems to want to serve you, there is no smile the overall sense is they are too busy to care. The tables are arranged very tightly to maximize profit. Not really worth going, imo. read more

Yummy combo! I got the all in one combo. Choose five of the appetizers. I got the popcorn chicken, sweet potato fries, fish cakes, mushrooms and squid balls.

Parking: All In Cafe is located in a small plaza on the corner of Temple City Blvd and Woodruff. It shares a small parking lot with a SAT prep school and an art school so it does get crowded when parents are there to pick their kids up. Interior: The restaurant is pretty small. It has about 4 or 5 tables of 4 and a bar by the window with a bunch of manga available for customers to read. Service: The person taking orders is very nice and the food does come out pretty quickly. You get a 15% discount if you pay with cash. Food: I tried the fried pork chop rice, popcorn chicken rice, and braised pork belly rice. The fried pork chop was pretty good. It was crispy and had a salt and pepper seasoning. The popcorn chicken was rather bland. It did not really have the traditional basil taste with the Taiwanese spices. I did not really like the braised pork belly. I felt that it was a bit too salty and a dry for me. All of the meals come with some veggies, braised tofu, and egg. Overall I would give this place a 3.5 stars on food but I am always for supporting our local small businesses. read more
