Live music by "Pat O'Brien and the Priests of Love" who we were told is the house band. They were loud but rockin' and groovin'. Very small area in front of the stage where you could dance, if so inclined. DRINKS at night. The bartender was not making cocktails like Apple does during the day. Pretty much beer, shots, and very basic drinks (rum & coke, vodka, cranberry & OJ, etc.). They weren't running tabs at night either, it was pay-as-you-go. We had two bottles of Modelo and two Madras and the total was slightly more for the second round (not sure why) but it was too loud to try and discuss it with the bartender. On street parking, or a small lot in the back, off the alley. After only three visits, I can't say that this place is our regular hangout, but it's become one of our favorite watering holes. See you there.

We were told that these guys are the "house band".

The chicken and waffles is almost too much to eat in 1 sitting. They also don't drown it in syrup. They drizzle just enough to flavor it but not drown it and make the waffle soggy. But the best thing is the tempura onion rings. They are huge and super crunchy but not greasy. I love them the best. Their fries aren't bad either and I hardly eat carbs.

The $35 DineLA lunch special offers outstanding value for money. Blue Magpie Milk Tea: It surprisingly rivals top-tier boba shops. The balance of sweetness, tea strength, and ice level is dialed in perfectly, avoiding any over-sweetness or watered-down texture. Additionally, it carries an elegant fragrance--far from cheap artificial flavoring--perhaps coming from the golden powder sprinkled on top. Seafood & Sweet Corn Chowder: Hope this isn't too mean, but compared to the watery, corn-starched soups with barely any corn at Chiou House in Rowland Heights, Blue Magpie's version belongs to a completely different dimension. The thin skin formed on the surface looks instantly appetizing. The soup fuses the sweet essence of seafood with rich creaminess, generously packed with green onions, corn, scallops, shrimp, and clam meat. Red Wine Braised Oxtail Pappardelle · Tomato Sugo: The oxtail meat comes neatly off the bone, so those with sensitive teeth do not need to worry about gnawing around bones. The oxtail sauce strikes a great balance without feeling overly salty or heavy. Also, the tender meat seems to carry a subtle, citrus-like hint of freshness. White Chocolate Bread Pudding: Compared to the overly soggy and cloying versions at standard restaurants, this bread pudding feels far more refined and pleasantly balanced. Topped with a fresh mint leaf and a strawberry slice, it features bite-sized bread croutons in the middle, resting on a bed of white chocolate custard that subtly hints at a touch of peanut aroma. 物超所值的DineLA 35美金特價午餐。鮮奶茶：讓我很意外完全不輸手搖店。茶湯的甜度、濃淡和冰量等平衡感把控的很好，完全沒有過甜或水感過重的問題。此外，不知是否來自表面的金黃色粉末？帶著一股高雅芳香（但又不是那種低級人工香）。海鮮玉米巧達濃湯：這樣形容會不會很毒舌？比起羅蘭崗邱家台式鐵板排的玉米粒聊勝於無的勾芡湯，藍鵲這碗簡直是更高次元的產物。表面凝結一層薄薄湯衣看著就很有食慾。湯頭含有海味的鮮甜與奶油的濃郁。湯底有蔥段、玉米、干貝、蝦仁和蛤蜊肉。紅酒番茄燉牛尾義大利寬麵：肉塊已從牛尾骨卸下，牙口不好的人無需擔心啃骨不便。牛尾醬汁控的剛好，不會過鹹或醬味過重。此外，肉塊隱約含一絲似柑橘般的淡淡清香... 白巧克力麵包布丁：比起一般餐廳販售的濕軟甜膩，這算是做得更精緻不過份甜膩的麵包布丁。表層點綴薄荷葉和草莓切片，中層堆砌切成小塊的麵包丁，底層該是白巧克力卡仕達醬（好像還帶點花生香）。 read more

Blue Magpie in Arcadia was honestly such a fun date night spot!!! The whole restaurant feels super pretty and upscale, but still comfortable and not too fancy or intimidating. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everything was soooo good!! You can really tell they put a modern twist on Taiwanese flavors. The Lady Camellia cocktail and Wintermelon Highball were both really refreshing and smooth Dangerously easy to drink honestly LOL. The Mala Gizzard had a nice spicy kick, and the Scallop Chimichurri was super fresh and buttery. One of my favorite dishes was definitely the Beer Spicy Clam Stir Fry ~So flavorful and perfect with drinks. The Sour Spicy Branzino was AMAZING. The fish was super fresh, soft and tender inside. The sauce had the perfect sour and spicy balance without being too heavy. We also loved the Pan Seared NY Strip and the Roasted Duck Breast. Everything felt really well thought out and beautifully plated. And don't skip dessert!! The Mango Panna Cotta was smooth and creamy, and the Truffles Basque Cheesecake was unique and delicious. Another big plus is they have free parking in the back, which is super convenient for Arcadia! They also have two private rooms, so I think this would be such a cute place for birthday dinners or small celebrations too. Service was really good. Definitely one of the more unique Taiwanese restaurants we've tried lately. Would totally come back again!! read more

The food overall is good, with some unique East-meets-West fusion dishes that stand out. The 三杯雞麵 (Three-Cup Chicken Noodles) is a creative fusion of Taiwanese and Italian style. They use pasta-like noodles with Asian spicy sauce. The 滷蛋 Sandwich is an interesting concept, but the flavor ends up tasting like a regular egg sandwich. The 皮蛋麵 (Century Egg Noodles) is great, the peanuts, cilantro, and century egg blend together perfectly, making it the most flavorful and unique dish of the day. Service: The servers were friendly, but their presentation didn't match the upscale feel of the restaurant. They had a "just rolled out of bed" look, even though they were in uniform. They only asked about allergies after we had already ordered, which felt like an oversight. For the price point, I would expect staff to be more polished in both appearance and service. Overall: Blue Magpie is worth trying for its bold fusion dishes, especially the 皮蛋麵. The food highlights make the visit worthwhile but the service could use improvement to match the value. -1 star for the service. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this new restaurant, Blue Magpie, and I was genuinely impress from start to finish. The ambience is warm, cozy, clean, spacious and thoughtfully designed. The private dining rooms are especially well-planned, offering true privacy for gatherings. What surprised me the most was the food. They blend traditional Taiwanese Flavors with European-style presentation and techniques. Each dish is made to order-not pre-made or half-prepared - so while some items may take a little longer to arrive, it's absolutely worth the wait. Although I rarely drink alcohol, I was blown away by their house-made drinks. They use traditional 58% Taiwanese Kaoliang (Sorghum liquor) infused with osmanthus and other ingredients, creating a drink that taste incredibly smooth and fragrant, you almost forget it's a strong spirit. The service is great! The manager and waiters are so patient to explain each and every course in detail. If you are looking for a place that combines authenticity, creativity, and hear , Blue Magpie is a must try. read more

Blue Magpie in Arcadia is a fresh addition to the Taiwanese dining scene and an absolute must-visit. The menu keeps things straightforward but doesn't skimp on flavor. We didn't get to try everything, but their signature boba tea with thick milk foam was the star of the show--smooth, creamy, and straight-up reminiscent of Taiwan's best. The street food chicken sandwich was another hit, with juicy, flavorful meat tucked into crunchy French bread that added just the right texture. For our main, we went with the popular steak and egg. It was decent, but the steak itself was a letdown--tough with too many tendons, making it a chore to chew. For the priciest dish on the menu, they might want to consider a better cut. On the flip side, the service was stellar--super friendly staff who made the experience warm and welcoming. The decor's a vibe too, with a sleek bar and great lighting that set a cozy yet modern mood. Parking's convenient out back. Blue Magpie's definitely shaking up the local Taiwanese food scene and worth checking out. read more

I went there yesterday with my family and it was an incredible experience. It's a high-end Taiwanese restaurant that absolutely delivers on flavor and atmosphere. The dishes here are unique and bursting with authentic Taiwanese flair. Each bite was a delightful surprise, blending bold flavors with refined presentation. The menu truly stands out for its creativity and quality, making every dish feel like a special discovery. The bar area is a highlight, with a cool speakeasy vibe that's perfect for a night out. Sleek decor and an intimate feel make it an ideal spot to sip their expertly crafted mixed drinks. The cocktails were a perfect balance of innovative and refreshing, complementing the food beautifully. The entire vibe of Blue Magpie is spot-on, sophisticated yet welcoming, with attentive service that made the evening even better.

Stopped by Blue Magpie in Arcadia for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. It has that refined, modern vibe, but the atmosphere still feels relaxed and welcoming. Their $20 lunch set is honestly such a steal for the quality you're getting. The braised pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just the right balance of savory and slightly sweet. Portions were generous, and the sides didn't feel like an afterthought. The truffle preserved radish omelet had a subtle earthy aroma without being overpowering, and the drunken shrimp were fresh, plump, and well seasoned. Highly recommend adding the milk tea，creamy, smooth, and not overly sweet. They also offer weekday happy hour with 50% off select appetizers, which makes it even more worth visiting. Plus, they have private rooms, making it a great option for anything from a casual weekday lunch to a small group gathering. Would definitely come back to try more dishes! read more

Avocado Salad: Fresh, vibrant, and beautifully plated! The mixed greens were crisp, the avocado perfectly ripe, and dressing with black sesame added a delicious kick. Loved the crunch from the crispy taro strips--so refreshing and well-balanced. Lobster Sandwich: Absolutely unique! The sandwich was fried to a delicate crisp on the outside, while the inside was loaded with juicy lobster, fresh tomato, and creamy dressing. The side of burdock root and colorful veggies with a drizzle of sauce made the whole plate a feast for the eyes and the palate. A standout meal--visually stunning and full of flavor.
