This place is so bomb! They have the best Taiwanese food for miles!…read more We have pretty much ordered from here at least once a week or so for years and we still enjoy every order. Their bento combination plates are our go to - great value as it comes with an entree, sides, and a drink. You pick your entree and they fill the bento with a variety of sides (different each time). All the sides are delicious. Our go-to order is the Fried Chicken Steak with Chili Sauce Combo 椒麻雞排便當 and the Fried Fish Filet with Spicy Salt Combo 椒鹽魚片便當. Their popcorn chicken is crispy and flavorful, too. I love that you can now adjust sweetness and ice levels on the drinks. Easy to order online and the food is always ready quickly. Hands down our favorite place to eat!

We kinda drove out of our way to come here upon the high recommendation of a close family friend bc…read morethis place has a variety of Taiwanese street food. Much of the menu my mom used to make so there was the high nostalgia factor. Their prices are really good and food was decent. There's a take out area on one side of the restaurant complete with a large fridge with a huge variety of frozen items you can take home and heat up or cook - this includes soups , stews , dumplings etc. They also have some Taiwanese desserts - their shaved ice was massive though they kinda skimp on the amount of toppings you get. We ordered a variety of dishes - their star does seem to be their combo plates which came with hearty portion of your chosen item, homemade sides and a drink choice (includes milk tea, cold teas, sodas) . My only gripe was the older lady who works there (maybe she's the owner?) - she was a bit rude. We had a little bit of a wait so we were in the take out area and perusing the frozen items and she told us we had to wait outside. Bruh? There's no one in this area. We thought we were the only ones being shoo'd out but later saw her trying to shoo out a bunch of people waiting for their online orders, saying in mandarin that too many people inside is bad for air quality. LOL Then when we finally got seated she told us that it would take 40 minutes for us to get our food. And she rushed my daughter to order saying she has to leave and will have to come back if she doesn't order right then. My dad at this point was hangry and wanted to split, but my sis and I were like we drove alllll the way here. Let's just wait for the food. So of course the food comes out in maybe 10 minutes on the first dish and maybe 20 minutes on the last dish. We figure the lady is trying to weed out the unfaithful lmaooo. Later when we were done with our meal , my dad asked if we can have our desserts and the lady was like (in mandarin) "you're not the only one waiting for dessert. A lot of other people are too". Say what ? Odd customer service, ok food , but I dunno if I would go hella out of my way to come back when there's plenty of tasty Taiwanese options in the San Gabriel area. Love the big Taiwan flag on display though!

We enjoyed everything we ordered and will be back again. - Hot soy milk (not too sweet): 5/5 - Chinese donut - fluffy: 5/5 - Rice roll - we split it and it was very filling. We customized it and added eggs and Taiwanese sausage. I would prefer the purple rice but my daughter is purest: 5/5 - Beef and Tendon noodle soup - good but just a bit too salty. Glad we had the soy milk to soften the palate.

Came with crispy Chinese donut in the middle with some pork floss. Good item for some carbs. Option to add protein in it. Egg or beef. Soymilk was ok. Got sweetened hot soy milk but they didn't mix it leaving it sweet on the bottom. Looks like they have daily deals for select items depending on the day of the week. Was hoping for a quick and easy pick up but took longer than expected for rice rolls early morning.

We arrived and were seated right away, and a waiting crowd gathered outside as the evening went on. FRIED FISH FILET WITH SEAWEED: 4/5. While it was a little bit oily for me personally, the fish inside was super flaky, and the batter was really crispy and savory. BEAN CURD WITH PORK: 5/5. The best version I've had of this dish, period. There was something incredibly addictive about how savory and balanced it was. Textures were on point, too: super tender, not rubbery at all. SHRIMP WITH SCRAMBLED EGG: 5/5. The eggs were so soft, creamy, and delicious, with plenty of shrimp in and under the egg. BASIL FRIEND EGGPLANT: 5/5. Yes. This is the flavor I'm looking for when I order this dish. Deep, basil-forward flavor that permeates the eggplant and onions. MUSHROOM AND PORK BELLY HOTPOT: 5/5. Loved the many textures the assorted mushrooms offered. Pork belly was silky, and the mala spice was well balanced.

We just visited on Christmas Day and, just like a veteran artist like Sir Elton would never let you down during a live, concert performance, Cynthia & her front-of-house staff of two somehow managed to adeptly manage crowds that were, at times, standing room only to be seated. The entrees were still on point, delivered swiftly and reasonably priced! We have been enormous fans of Happy Kitchen for over twenty yrs and judging by the throngs of Chinese and Taiwanese clientele, we are hardly alone in our sentiments!

Hope the owner will update the menu on here and not trick their customers.

Full Flavor at Half Cost!…read more I have yet to experience anything negative from this establishment. Everything from customer service, pricing, portions, and quality has been nothing short of outstanding. Tucked next to the Eastern side of the food hall, you'll find this modest selling spot. I ordered the garlic noodles and the pork belly bao. I wanted something different from their iconic dan dan noodles (try those if you haven't) and boy was I surprised. There isn't seating with them, so you must find a spot in the general area, no problems there. The garlic noodles will have real chopped garlic with a delicious flavoring that will have you satisfied with a stinky breath (not sorry) and the pork belly bao is insanely tender, you'll think you're not even chewing over how soft it is. It's garnished with a mustard topping on a steamed bun. Both of these items were on happy hour and I was fulfilled while not breaking the bank. The owner really does take pride in his work and the quality he produces for us, always happy to support those who bring the passion to the kitchen. YUM

I thought this was going to be a cafe but this place completely overturned every single expectation…read moreI had when I walked through the door in the first place. Cyber cafe dream? I think so. With a large parking lot calming any worries of finding parking, the shop is located at the front of the curb and even easier to spot given the Hanlin sign in black font hovering among the other establishments. The entrance is very open with an IG friendly bench below a neon sign to the right and a shining white counter sitting in front of you. It's easy finding a seat among the chairs that litter the space, especially by an outlet for all your devices. It was honestly surprising to find this almost being a cyber cafe as most other coffee shops, milk tea shops and others because they have a lot more considerations and food options to choose from. Especially being guided by the staff immediately upon the question of, "Have you been here before?" No! I haven't but I appreciated the fact that the service here is all about what is the best, what to expect and how to make the experience as smooth as possible. Thankfully it is easy finding something you'd like within the vast menu. Not to mention you'd also like the fact that everything is priced pretty average compared to most places around the area. It's still surprisingly to me finding a Taiwanese restaurant around this area but that's something that you come for especially price for price and pound for pound when it comes to portion and taste. Speaking of taste! The plum juice with boba was a good balance but lets not forget plum is definitely a certain bittersweet taste profile that isn't often enjoyed. It's a good reminder that you're having a subtle and healthy, fruity drink and still pairing it with the sweetness of boba. Now pair it with a small eats such as the popcorn chicken! Crispy basil residing in all the frizzled and well seasoned chicken and not to mention how juicy and tender the chicken is!
