    I highly recommend this authentic Taiwanese restaurant. This is my second visit, and the consistency in food quality is impressive. I especially love the popcorn chicken--it's perfectly textured and tender. The stinky tofu is also incredibly delicious.

    It is a neighborhood spot with good comfort food. The restuarnat is clean and very welcoming vibe, they offered free peanuts next to the water pitcher; how cute is that! For lunch, we got the popular beef noodle, and BBQ pork bento. I like the bento presentation and the portion of each items. The BBQ pork was very flavorful, the meat was still tender, the garlic sauce added a little kick to it. The stir-fried veggie, tomato-fried eggs, and stewed tofu made it a balanced meal. I especially like the seasoned pickles.

    I came back to try the spicy beef noodle soup and it did not disappoint. Interestingly at BD Cafe, you get your choice of thick, thin, or vermicelli noodles. I like having the flexibility to customize my noodles. I went with thick noodles because that's what my waitress recommended and chose medium spicy. This was a very good spicy beef noodle soup. It comes with a generous amount of tender beef and baby bok choy. The broth tasted clean and had just the right amount of spice. But the star were the thick cut noodles which were al dente and chewy. Every component of the soup was excellent. A bowl will run you about $15 bucks, but I feel like that's the going rate these dates. We also tried the spicy wontons (good as always) and an order of Taiwanese sausage. The raw garlic with the sausage was an unexpectedly good combo. I can't recommend BD Cafe enough.

    The spicy beef noodle was absolutely delicious. The noodle was fresh with a chewy texture. The beef was fork tender and very flavorful. The broth packed with five spice and beefy flavor. It looks super spicy but it's not. Washed it all down with a cold tea drink infused with fruit grapefruit. It was so refreshing and they did not skimp on the fresh fruit! We ordered the pork belly rice bowl to go. It was good with lots of rice. The meat is tender and the fat felts in your mouth. The pickled vegetables balanced out the flavors perfectly. Service was friendly and fast. We asked for chili and more picketed veggies and got them right away.

    Good taste!! The food is delicious and in line with Taiwanese taste. The price is reasonable and it is worth trying.

    I've had a great experience at BD cafe! Servers are friendly, prices were reasonable, and interior was clean. I got takeout, and the service was fast. I enjoyed their milk tea, it was classic like the back in Taiwan. The pork belly was tender, eggs flavorful, and fermented veggies were perfectly sweet. Defenitly recommend!

    有時覺得這世上沒有好壞,沒有對錯,只是大家處在了不同的頻率, 產生了不同的磁場,呈現了不同的狀態, 也出現了不同的選擇~ 原味食堂, 一家在我們 chino/ chino hills ,我常去吃的台灣小吃,這家吃飯的環境明亮, 乾淨,生意一直都很穩定,我最最喜歡他們的豬腳便當,豬腳永遠煮的非常軟爛, 又入味, 非常好吃,是我去永遠會點的第一名菜色, 另外要推薦的是他們的牛肉麵,跟不同的朋友去過, 有寬麵,細麵的選擇,喜歡吃牛肉麵的也都給蠻高的評價, 常常看到團友們在外面吃飯, 為了餐廳無故加價生氣, 其實還是有很多店家仍是一步一腳印, 努力,老實的在做生意, 對於這家店家, 多光臨就是對他們最好的鼓勵了!

    I have been to BD Cafe a few times over the years! I really enjoy their Taiwanese Minced Pork Belly. They have a version in the bowl for around $10 that comes with rice and a bento box version that comes with rice and 3 veggies (cabbage, seaweed, and cucumber the last time I went) for around $13. It is always delicious! The sauce that comes with the pork belly goes great on rice. Service wise, you can order at the counter or they may take your order for dine in. However, you usually have to go up to the cashier to pay when you're done. Not like a regular dine in where the wait staff brings a check to you. So be prepared to go up if you are trying to leave. Also, there were a few times where the restaurant closed at 3pm and they don't seat you for dine in if you come in around 2:40pm. I think they have more staff now and are open until 7pm but check the door to be sure. It is usually pretty clean in the restaurant. They have a self service water station and peanuts available for people to snack on (beware peanut allergy customers). Overall, good experience!

    Simple inside  restaurant.

    Home cooking Taiwanese style. The rice vermicelli was moist and comforting. Popcorn chicken was also addictive. The tofu and shrimp was a little plain, but also comfort food. My least favorite was the dry noodle. Lots of young families inside.

    milk fish porridge. It's a huge portion with lots of tender de-boned milk fish.

We waited maybe 45mins at 6pm on a saturday to be seated, which wasnt too bad. The last time we tried to come it was a 2hr wait! The hostess in charge of seating was super nice and very communicative with us. When we finally got in you go down the salad line, then pay at the end. There is a LOT of salad options, a few premade ones but mostly just assorted salad ingredients. Salad isnt my thing so I didnt get much. Dinner is $20 per person which came out to $43 for 2 people with tax. Cheap for a buffet but there is barely any protein available. They had a lot of soups available! Pozole (our favorite!!), clam chowder, chicken noodle, cheddar broccoli, cream of mushroom and more. Theres a baked potato station I didnt partake from, a small pizza station, small pasta station and some bread and their square muffins! Theres also soft serve, a few puddings and a few fruits as well. The quality is okay overall. It is pretty fresh and they constantly restock things which is good. All the soups i tried were yummy except the clam chowder. The cheese bread was pretty good and so was the marinara! The alfredo wasn't good though. The muffins are a bit dry and the soft serve machine broke while we were there but they fixed it later! Fruit was okay. There's a ton of options which made it fun to look around and choose from but there was definitely barely any protein. Still a fun concept and an okay price but i wouldn't make the drive or wait more than 30mins for it again.

It's obvious that they have worked on their craft and are definitely improved.

The consistency of the noodles and the beef slices were exceptional. The bok choy was also very well prepared and added a nice crunch texture. This is also a sauced dish (although my initial thought was that I was going to be a soup) which to me didn't matter. The chili oil was very well prepared and flavor packed. Not only that, the portions were enormous. Some other dishes we ordered were the braised beef noodle soup which was hearty, rich, and comforting. We ordered the A10 as well, but that will take me a couple tries since the flavor was unfamiliar to me. Willing to come back and try more things as many times as it takes! This restaurant, like most of the reviews claim, is indeed a gem and I highly recommend it!
