Authentic mom and pop Taiwanese restaurant. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup was one of the better ones we've had! Beef was soo tender and soup was very flavorful without being too salty. The popcorn chicken was also sooo good! Lightly crispy exterior and soft tender chicken inside. The seasoning was flavorful with the five spice and wasn't salty. The minced beef over rice was solid too but we liked the other two more. read more

This time, I went to Mudan with my family, and we ordered several dishes to share. The salt-and-pepper chicken was really good--the outside was crispy while the meat inside was still tender. The pork intestines and blood cake dish was also very flavorful, with plenty of aroma and just the right taste to go with rice. The beef noodle soup had a smooth, comforting broth, and the stir-fried dishes were all well-seasoned and went really well with rice. Overall, everyone enjoyed the meal, and the portions were just right. It's a good place to order several different dishes and share with a group. The staff were also friendly, and everything from ordering to serving went smoothly. The food had that familiar Taiwanese flavor and was very comforting. I hadn't had this kind of Taiwanese food in a long time, so I left feeling quite satisfied. I'd definitely come back again when I have the chance. read more

Unbelievably bad service. The staff here is insanely rude, particularly a middle-aged woman named Windy or Wendy. She paid zero attention to us when we needed service, preferring to sit at the counter eating fruit and gossiping instead. We didn't get a single water refill the entire time. On top of that, she was loudly trash-talking other guests after they walked out, with a super nasty attitude. Easily one of the worst experiences I've had. I even didn't want to take any photos of the food, because I was so pissed off! Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

I love a good Taiwanese cafe. They always remind me of my childhood when my parents would take me after Chinese school on Saturdays. Thankfully no more Chinese school, but I still love getting together with my family for a weekend meal. I was so impressed by All In Cafe. It's a small, unassuming spot tucked into a Stater Bros. plaza, but the flavors instantly brought me back. We always start with the fried combo. It comes with popcorn chicken, fish cakes, oyster mushrooms, squid balls, and sweet potato fries. Everything is seasoned with the perfect amount of five spice, and it's great for sharing. I usually come with my family, and we always order way too much because who doesn't love leftovers? Some of our other favorites are the stewed stinky tofu with intestines, rice cakes, the chicken plate, and the cold cut salads. Honestly, you can't really go wrong with anything here. The space is pretty small, but the staff is attentive and the food comes out fast. It's one of those places that feels comforting and familiar, and I always leave happy. read more

All In Cafe - Beef noodle popcorn chicken mince pork rice. - Taiwanese Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

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

forgot @Jessica W. reviewed that this place changed owners. we liked their food from the past owner 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. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$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

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

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

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

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

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

The food was decent for the price, but unfortunately, the service and the way we were treated throughout the entire visit were extremely disappointing. We came with another family, and there were two young children in our group. When we arrived, there were tables available, but we were told that we had to wait until another party had completely finished and the table was cleared, even though the other party had already finished eating. Then, instead of simply preparing the available table, the staff started trying to rearrange another table where a customer was sitting alone. They were moving that customer's drink and belongings to make space for us. We felt uncomfortable with that, so we told them it was completely fine and that we would rather wait for the table they originally intended to give us. Even after we said that, the situation was not handled properly, and we ended up feeling uncomfortable and apologetic before we had even sat down. Once we finally sat down and ordered, the staff continued to be noticeably unfriendly and seemed to have a very poor attitude toward us. Our food also took a very long time to come out. The food itself was actually okay and reasonably priced, which was probably the only positive part of the experience. After we finished our meal, we paid our bill and left a tip/service charge. We also placed a separate to-go order and waited for it. While waiting for our to-go food, one of our children accidentally broke a dish. It was clearly an accident, and we immediately apologized. We did not argue about it or refuse to pay for it. What made the situation much worse was that our to-go food seemed to have already been prepared, but nobody brought it out to us. We continued waiting for approximately 30-40 minutes. During this time, the staff were talking among themselves in their own language, and based on their expressions, tone, and the situation, it honestly felt as though they were talking about us in a negative way. Of course, we cannot know exactly what they were saying, so I cannot say that for certain, but the way everything was handled made us feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. After making us wait all that time, someone finally brought out our to-go order and then told us that we needed to pay $10 in cash for the broken dish. Again, we understood that the dish had been broken and we were willing to pay the $10. That was never the issue. The issue was the way we had been treated from the moment we walked in, the extremely long wait for our food, the 30-40 minute wait for our to-go order, and the overall attitude of the staff throughout the entire experience. Since we had already paid our original bill and left a tip, we said that we would simply like to refund the original payment and pay again for everything, including the $10 dish charge. The reason we wanted to do this was because, after the service we received, we no longer felt comfortable leaving a tip. Instead of simply processing the request, the staff repeatedly acted as though they did not understand what we were asking and kept saying that it was the same thing as just paying the $10 (They knew that we didn't want to tip them). We had to explain multiple times that we were asking for a refund of the original transaction and then pay the food bill plus the $10 dish charge. Eventually, they agreed to refund the original payment. However, when processing the new payment, they tried to include a tip again. We specifically told them that we did not want to leave a tip and asked them to remove it. We were then able to pay only for the food and the $10 dish charge. To be completely clear: we were not trying to get out of paying for the broken dish. We immediately apologized, accepted responsibility, and paid the $10. What we objected to was being treated poorly throughout the entire visit and then being made to feel as though we were still expected to provide a tip despite the experience. We came in with two young children and did our best to be considerate. We understood that children can accidentally break something, and we took responsibility when it happened. We also paid for everything we owed. What we expected in return was simply basic courtesy and respectful customer service. Unfortunately, this was one of the most uncomfortable restaurant experiences we have had. The food was okay, but the food alone cannot make up for the poor service, the long waits, the attitude, and the way the situation with the broken dish and payment was handled. We left feeling very uncomfortable and unwelcome. We will not be returning, and based on our experience, I would not recommend this restaurant if you are looking for a place with friendly and respectful service. 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.

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.

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
