    I've been here a few times before, always had their beef noodle soup, and they always hit the spot! This time decided to try their mini personal hotpot for a change of pace. The food came out quickly and looked yummy! I had the spicy pot, the spicy level is just right. I also appreciated all the ingredients they put into the pot! The beef isn't the highest quality, but is ok given the price is so low compared to other personal hotpot places. This visit was on Christmas Eve, I'm not sure if they are understaffed, but it took sometime to get the server's attention each time we needed something. Not a big deal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is definitely one of those hole-in-the-wall small restaurants, worth a try if you're in the mood for Taiwanese beef noodle soup or personal hotpot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Coming here was a little confusing because the big sign for the restaurant is rockstar noodle. They do have an Even Life sign but that was a neon sign through the window.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The restaurant is located right next to subway. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is a little small but still good enough for parties of 4-6 max.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was really good. The lady was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Taiwanese sausages and the minced pork over Taiwanese egg noodles. Your typical Taiwanese dishes and they did not disappoint. Price was fair too.

    Signature Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (with shaved noodles) Fried Tofu Smashed Cucumbers

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]A cozy and quaint Taiwanese eatery that is open late and specializes in spicy beef noodle soup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ive been coming here for years and the owner is so enthusiastic to help customers. You can tell that he loves his business. Here are my recommendations: 招牌牛肉麵 Signature Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (spicy) -For those who want something along the lines of Medium spicy. It comes with chunks of tender beef, bok choy, and noodles of your choice. The broth is so flavorful, you cant stop drinking it. I choose Shaved Noodles because theyre both flat and wide, which grabs the broth nicely. For the price of $12.99, the value is unbeatable. 炸豆腐 Fried Tofu-8 pieces of perfectly cut rectangular tofu fried to crispy golden brown. Served with garlic soy sauce. The tofu slices are about 1x1x2 inches in size. Quite filling despite the size. 拍黃瓜 Smashed Cucumbers- Perfect blend of rice vinegar, garlic, and sugar. Not too salty and is a cool, refreshing side dish. 炸魷魚 Fried Squid Legs- Incredibly filling. Lightly battered and crispy. Not fishy tasting at all. Usually served with a side of kewpie mayo. Highly recommend for those who like fried calamari.

    chili Spicy Wonton
    Claudia H.

    Came here out of curiosity because we always see this place but never go! We got beef noodles and spicy wontons. The beef noodles were good! I didn't really like the spicy wonton though, I'm not sure if the sauce had some bean paste in it or something but it tasted a little bit weird to me. Friendly staff.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]first off, the place is a bit misleading since the sign says "Rockstar Noodle Bar", but has "Even Life" neon signs in the windows.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's a small place, but one of my go-to's![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] i went in with only one guy working the register & kitchen, but he friendly and quick! the prices are just unbeatable, ESPECIALLY for the lunch combo?! a drink, a bowl of noodles & a side for $15.99 is crazy. even a bowl of the beef noodle soup for $12.99 during regular hours is amazing compared to any other place! one of the only places i can find that has the option of beef noodles soup with glass noodles (my favorite), but the hand cut noodles are my family's preference!

    Beef and Beef Tendon and Beef Tripe Noodle Soup
    Haru H.

    service was fast and kind! our food was delicious and the smashed cucumbers were a table-favorite. i got the beef tripe and tendon noodle soup with extra chewy noodles, coming out to be $16. the broth was good but i would've liked more beef pieces. [[HIGHLIGHT]]ambiance is clean and inviting, we went around 10pm so by then the restaurant was quiet with a couple of chatters providing white noise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]great late night spot to fill your noodle cravings![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Beef Tendon and Beef Tripe Noodle Soup
    Jessica W.

    I always ordered delivery on Fantuan and finally went in person. The server was nice and our food came out quickly. All times I've eaten there, I've been really pleased with all items - the beef noodle soup, spicy wontons, fried chicken, chicken wings, cucumber salad

    Menu
    Michelle T.

    Service was great and noodles were very tasty and fresh I think the best noodle places are the ones that you don't have to drink the soup/ sauce in order for the noodles to have taste and this place does just that but if you can't handle spicy I recommend getting medium or mild spicy is. Pretty spicy definitely a great place for fresh pulled noodles

    Signature Spicy Beef Noodle Soup Chicken Wings
    adda w.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tucked away with the best view of Colima Rd.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You'll find this small restaurant with two entrances. If you're looking for full service, this isn't the place. You will need to order your food at the cash register and the server/cashier will bring your order to the table. I ordered the signature beef noodle soup in medium spicy, which had the perfect amount of spicy flavor and decided to try the extra chewy flat noodles. Texture of the noodles was 10/10. I felt the broth had a lot of depth of flavor but felt an overpowering flavor of white pepper. But did not overlook the very tender chunks of beef and perfectly cooked bok choy. Chicken wings were good but had that over powering of white pepper too. I don't know if I came on an off day but I will give this place a second chance.

    Great food especially very authentic beef noodles with 9 different noodles type is really incredible

    Menus

    Good authentic Taiwanese food. Lots of street food varieties. Service is ok. Opens late for my late night cravings.

    Signature Spicy Beef Noodle Soup
    Ivy W.

    Food(5/5): I got the Beef and Beef Tendon and Beef Tripe Noodle Soup and my bf got the Signature Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. The texture of both noodles were perfect. The portion size appears to be small but the noodles were really filling. The broth was flavorful and wasn't too oily. Service(4/5):There was nothing special about the service. She only came to our table when we ordered and when we asked for the checks. Ambiance(4.5/5):The interior was so cute with little legos displays. The interior has a modern cafe feel to it. It's a bit cold inside but it feels relaxing. The location is a bit hidden and you wouldn't see it unless you were actively searching for it on the map.

    Originating from Taiwan, this bubble tea shop is a must-try. I am a huge fan of their Osmanthus…read moreOolong Tea with Mango. It tastes crisp and refreshing and does not taste syrupy at all. Another amazing drink is the Cassia Black Tea with Mousse. The tea itself tastes robust and slightly malty, while the mousse adds a silky and creamy texture that enhances the drink. My husband especially likes the drinks from the Lemon Condensed Milk series. Each cup is freshly brewed to order and has a strong tea base, which is exactly how I like it. This particular location only has one ordering kiosk and only a couple of small tables. It is definitely more of a grab-and-go type of place. The premium tea taste and tea quality here are consistent with other locations I've been to. I like that we can see into the kitchen and watch the drinks being made. If there is a wait, it is all worth it!

    I stopped by Chicha San Chen after hearing about its award-winning reputation, but unfortunately,…read morethe experience fell well short of the hype. The shop itself was clean and filled with a pleasant tea aroma that created a welcoming first impression. Service was average, with nothing particularly memorable about the visit. Considering the relatively small size of the drinks, paying over $8 per drink felt difficult to justify. **Green Tea with Boba: 2.5/5** For a tea shop renowned for its freshly brewed-to-order teas, this drink was surprisingly lackluster. It tasted noticeably watered down and had very little of the fresh, fragrant jasmine tea flavor I was expecting. The chewy boba was the highlight, offering a pleasant texture with just the right amount of sweetness, but it couldn't salvage an otherwise disappointing drink. **High Mountain Pouchong Tea: 1/5** This drink was an even bigger letdown. Like the green tea, it tasted diluted and lacked the floral depth and complexity that a high mountain pouchong tea should offer. An unusually artificial, creamy, sweet aftertaste also lingered after each sip, further detracting from the overall flavor. Overall, the drinks lacked the bold, distinctive tea flavor I'd expect from an award-winning tea house. Considering the premium prices and relatively small drink sizes, the quality ultimately didn't justify the cost. There are simply too many better bubble tea shops at this price point, and I don't see myself returning.

    This was our first time visiting Summerfield Rowland Heights, and unfortunately it turned into one…read moreof the worst dining experiences we've ever had. When we arrived, the shopping center was extremely busy and all of the parking near Summerfield was taken. We parked along the brick wall in what appeared to be the same parking lot as the restaurant. There was nothing obvious to suggest that those spaces belonged to a separate apartment complex. The only warnings were a couple of small tow signs posted along the wall for about 18 parking spaces, and the main sign near the entrance was bent over and unreadable when driving in. We had no idea that section was private parking monitored by Quick Tow. We went inside, ordered food and drinks, and waited over 30 minutes for everything to be prepared. When we finally finished and walked back outside, our car was gone. After reading other reviews, I realized this isn't an isolated incident. It seems to happen to many people visiting this location. With how popular Summerfield is and how often customers end up parking there, I think the restaurant should at least post a clear warning telling customers not to park along that brick wall because vehicles will be towed. If they truly care about their customers, this seems like a simple step they could take. Instead, at 10:30 at night we were left stranded, had to take an Uber to another city to retrieve our car, wait while the paperwork was processed, and pay $640 to get it back--all in less than an hour after it had been towed. The whole situation felt incredibly predatory and sketchy. While the food itself wasn't bad, this experience completely overshadowed everything else. I won't be returning, and I strongly recommend that anyone visiting be extremely careful where they park. Avoid parking anywhere along that brick wall unless you're absolutely certain it's allowed.

Fortunately, I quickly found parking. Staff is professional and polite. Staff gave good recommendations, and Staff answered all my questions. The drink took about five minutes. As mentioned, I ordered the Iron Goddess Milk Tea ($6.75 - Large - 100% Sweetness). The crisp tea taste is pronounced and brewed perfectly (not burnt). Its gentle sweetness soothes the throat, and the flavor of honey and caramel flutters about. It's DELICIOUS! On ambiance, Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) is aged, worn-down but well-maintained. The location is a little small; there's about four tables. Fortunately, it feels well-ventilated and airy. In addition, Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights) also has PLENTY of utility. This spot has 34 electrical outlets!!! WOW! These outlets easily blend with the wall. There's also customer internet with password; customers must ask Staff for details. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. Overall, I found unexpected happiness at Tenju Tea House (Rowland Heights). The tea is one of the best! If you love tea, this is a very easy recommendation. 4.9 out of 5!

I ordered the Taro Mochi milk tea and customized it to 25% sweetness. I generally don't like my drinks too sweet, but I wasn't sure if choosing 0% sweetness would affect the taro flavor. Thankfully, 25% ended up being perfect. This was easily one of the best taro milk teas I've had from any boba shop. The taro paste really allows the taro flavor to shine independently from the milk tea itself. A common issue I find at other places is that the taro flavor is either too weak or the drink ends up overwhelmingly sweet. Cha Redefined strikes a really nice balance between the two. The mochi is also one of my favorite drink toppings, so I appreciated that they already offer a taro milk tea option that includes it. It paired perfectly with the drink and added a great texture. The shop itself has plenty of seating and a relaxed, chill atmosphere that's great for hanging out or studying. While we didn't have much interaction with the staff, our drinks came out surprisingly fast, especially considering how busy many boba shops can get in the evening. Overall, I was really impressed by both the quality of the drink and the atmosphere. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a taro milk tea.
