You can see in my pictures how cute the decorations were as well. Food I think is pretty typical Taiwanese, which you can actually really feel when you order the hot pot, because it has that relatively clear/relatively not oily flavor to it that I think is quite rare for hot pot outside of Taiwan. I also had a side of pork trotters, which also came out surprisingly not that oily. Would strongly recommend this place if you're a fan of traditional South Chinese foods, but not really a fan of oily, overly heavy meals! Service was overall very good, I actually had the sense that they were paying attention more or less the entire time to immediately refill water and other such service items. They also went out of their way to make sure the hot pot thing was constantly lit. Anyways, there's a lot of competition for this type of cuisine in Fremont, but if you're anywhere in the area or have some time to spend, I think spending it relaxing in this restaurant would be a great use of time! The food is solid if you're looking for that type of cuisine - and the service and decor is top-notch.

Taiwanese food is still a niche in the Bay Area, and Old Taro is a good place to be introduced. The…read morevibe here is homey Taiwanese, with cartoon graphics on the wall and playful banners and ceiling hangings. We started with stinky tofu for appetizers. The version here is atypical in that the dipping sauce was not the garlicky sweet soy sauce but lighter with no visible garlic. The dipping sauce was also poured on top of the tofu rather than on the side. It was enjoyable nevertheless. The tofu was perfectly fried on the outside and moist on the inside. With a generous heaping of chili sauce and outstanding pickled cabbage, this dish was a good reinterpretation of the Taiwanese classic. We tried various tasty bento boxes- fried pork chops, Taiwanese sausage, popcorn chicken. Each bento boxes came with side servings of steamed vegetables, stewed egg with bean curd sheet or mini spring rolls. We also had the pork knuckles over rice, which had very tender stewed pork knuckles over rice with meat sauce, bamboo shoots and a stewed egg. Beef noodle soup is an iconic dish in Taiwanese cuisine, and at Old Taro I gave it high marks. The broth was very aromatic and mildly spicy which was perfect for me. You can specify the noodles and I requested the thick flat noodles which really soaked up the broth. The bowl was a good size and filled with prodigious amounts of tender beef chunks, tripes and soft tissues. The meat was tender so it went down without getting between my teeth. Taiwanese desserts are a must, and here you can choose from a selection of shave ice, tofu puddings, regular as well as fried mochis. We had the cute little bathtub filled with taro shave ice, grass jelly, colorful sweet rice dumplings and a panda shaped mango sorbet. A second dessert was soft tofu puddings covered with the colorful sweet dumplings. This came with a side dish of two incredibly flavorful taro cookies. So many dishes we wanted to try. Guess we have to come back!

Usually to start your order, you pick a base between rice and porridge (the porridge is bland with pumpkin mixed in, which is how it's traditionally prepared and a good balance for the more flavorful dishes, but be aware) and then you can select what ever number of sides from the entrees available in the service pans behind the counter. You can also order some select items as well off the menu, but what's already out there is perfect serviceable on its own. The portions provided per entree have always been fair, and they always give a generous amount of rice/porridge. There's a great lunch deal and late-night dinner discount.

This dish was bursting with flavors from the spices and herbs and the combination of chicken, squid, and pork intestine. It's a good blend of flavors. The beef noodle soup had the al dente noodle, but I was not that impressed with the broth. It tasted a little plain for my liking. My son and hubby enjoyed it a lot and almost finished the huge bowl. This was our first time at this restaurant. It was great to see how efficient the whole restaurant operated. It was busy throughout our visit. Non-stop walk-ins for dine-in and takeout customers. We were fortunate to be there just before 12nn to beat the line-ups. They say that they open at 12nn but they start letting patrons in way earlier. Would love to go back to try their other dishes.

It's a small space with limited seating, but the restaurant is always clean, tidy, and well-stocked. Orders can be placed to go by phone or online, and there's also a convenient kiosk by the entrance for ordering in person. The staff are always so friendly and polite, no matter who is working. The service is very consistent, which I really appreciate. The food and drinks are comforting, delicious, and fulfilling--everything just hits home. My favorites are definitely the crepes, sandwiches, and soy milk. I've ordered from Cafe Mei for both breakfast and lunch, and I've always enjoyed my meals.

3.5 for the fan tuan but rounding up for ease of pickup…read more The good: glad they have pickup around south and east bay now so we didn't have to drive to Hayward to try this. The fan tuan are also hefty and very generously stuffed The meh: this might be a personal preference kind of thing but I actually wish there was more rice, both to hold the fan tuan together better as well as to balance out all the salty and pickled flavors. The abundance of pickled vegetables and braised tofu was very overpowering to me - I watched feedmeimei's review where she says the pickled vegs here are more pickled and I think that's true and may have contributed to the more overpowering taste. Then when you add sausage or pork belly, it gets heavy and salty real fast. I might be in the minority of preferring a simpler and more balanced fan tuan but hope this is helpful for anyone with a similar palate

Full House Dumpling Came here for an early Saturday lunch…read more A few good signs: Restaurant was fully packed by the time we left. Almost all Asians eating here. As soon as we sat down, we got 6 little dishes with vinegar and ginger. They know if you're not here for XLB, you have made a big mistake. What we ordered for 6 people: A1 Pork XLB A2 Pork w/Crab Meat XLB A3 Loofah & Shrimp XLB A4 Shrimp & Pork Shao Mai A9 Green Onion Pancake Thin A12 Beef & Cucumber Roll w/Green Onion J3 Salted Egg Yolk with Tofu B2 Stir-Fry Pea Shoots with Garlic We were satisfied, but not stuffed. Definitely recommend the normal XLB. Good meat flavor. Skin not too thick, but also little breakage. The three dishes I thought were pretty interesting. The Shao Mai - even though it's pork, it's seasoned and has texture like a dim sum beef ball. Loofah and Shrimp XLB - good flavor, but it's a loose filling (nothing to form it into a meatball). Salted Egg Yolk Tofu - tastes good, a little more moisture than what you would expect from this style of prep. Overall, we were happy with the items we got and would definitely come back if we were in the area.

4.5 stars. Full House is still delicious!…read more This visit we enjoyed the boiled tofu, a Choy with ground pork, and XLB. All were still delicious as ever. The boiled tofu is a fried soft tofu that is taut on the outside but almost custard-like in the middle bathed in a sweet, yet delicate sauce and then topped with cilantro and bonito flakes. Gets us every time. So good. The A choy dish. Was cooked to perfection..still a little crisp to the bite. The addition of braised pork belly was a taste of savoriness that rounded the veggie freshness. The XLB here has always been solid. Nice ratio of filling to broth. The XLN skin here is also on the thinner side. Perfectly done. Glad that this restaurant is making it through the economy when so many in the area have closed.
