    Bamboo Shoot with Shredded Pork(桂竹筍肉絲)
    Kwang C.

    Pan-fried Fish Stomach dipped in pepper salt and drizzled with lemon juice was good, but I thought Eat Joy Food's was slightly better. Organic Chayote Vine was crisp. This restaurant stir-fried it, while Eat Joy Food served it as a cold dish. Bamboo Shoot with Shredded Pork was good, but I thought Newleaf Bistro's was slightly better. Sauteed Shredded Pork, Squid, Celery & Bean Curd and Cilantro Root with Beef were both excellent with rice. The meat in both dishes was tender, and the sauces tasted the same, but I preferred the one with more beef slices. Minced Pork Over Rice was good, but I thought Tofu King's in Irvine was slightly better. The bean curd in Stewed Combo: Seaweed, Soy Sauce Egg & Bean Curd had a texture similar to fish balls, which I didn't like. The braised peanuts served before the meal were delicious. For three people, with two bowls of white rice and seven dishes, the total after tax and a 15% tip was $149.14. For convenience, we rounded it to $50 per person. The price was reasonable and cheaper than Newleaf Bistro and Eat Joy Food. 蘸胡椒鹽和淋上檸檬汁的乾煎虱目魚肚不錯,但我覺得頤中福的略勝。 龍鬚菜口感爽脆。這家是清炒,頤中福是涼拌。 桂竹筍肉絲不錯,但我覺得欣葉台菜的略勝。 客家小炒和香根牛肉的肉片都夠軟嫩,且醬汁味道幾乎相同,但我更喜歡牛肉片多些。 滷肉飯不錯,但爾灣的臭豆腐大王的略勝。 滷菜三拼的豆干口感似魚丸,我個人沒有很愛。 餐前滷花生很好吃。 三個人,兩碗白飯,七道菜,15%小費含稅後,總價149.14美金。為方便計算分賬,平均每人算50美金。這價錢還可以,比欣葉和頤中福便宜。

    1/17/2026. I've seen this place but never tried it because the name is 'Java'; sounds more fitting for a coffee shop. Anyway, finally tried it after all these years and have definitely been missing out. It's a small place and very packed on a Sat afternoon. We got a table right away luckily. Service is friendly and efficient. Food is delicious, Tasty and super generous portions. One of the ladies speak Cantonese and she took the time to introduce specials on the board which were only written in Chinese. She was patient with taking our order. And check this out because nowadays, there's nothing free! However, you get free tea and a little plate of peanuts! Wow, those freebie days are long gone so it was a nice surprise they offered tea PLUS stewed peanuts! Stinky tofu: not my fave. They used firm tofu and the dipping sauce was not the Taiwanese garlic sauce; a little disappointing there. Four God Soup: yes, will reorder. Generous portions of barley and tender pork stomach. Comforting! Rice noodles with pumpkins: one of their signature dish- rightfully so! Comes out piping out. Green onion pancake: skip, not worthy. It's thick and barely has any scallions. Intestine with basil: delish!!!! Made very well and definitely needs to pair with rice! Pork chop rice combo: fried just like popcorn chicken. I would highly recommend asking them for no ice in the drink (black tea). The ice is 'cloudy'; a sign that they desperately need a new filter! (Wink wink) Overall, definitely a hidden gem and authentic Taiwanese cuisine! Will return for sure!

    In the past, most of the takeout orders from this restaurant were placed by elderly family members at home, and we rarely dined in ourselves. The overall flavor profile is quite light and mild. The sesame oil kidney dish, in particular, tasted like it had little to no salt, so it's more suitable for people who prefer food in its original, less seasoned form. The prices are slightly on the higher side, but the portion sizes are reasonable. It's a place I might revisit occasionally when I'm craving Taiwanese-style dishes or home-style, mom-like flavors. That said, it's worth noting that the restaurant currently has a B health grade, and the dining environment is fairly casual and not especially fancy.

    This little spot servers authentic Taiwanese food. It got reasonably busy during lunch time on Sunday but we were able to get seated a little after 1:30pm without waiting too much. When we entered we smelled a strong smell of stinky tofu so we knew we had to give that a try. Here are my thoughts on the food. Clear Stewed Beef Noodle Soup - I liked it, it was simple, clean and meat was tender. Pretty delicious. (4.5/5) Deep Fried Salt and Pepper Oyster - This dish was good. Its fried well and the oysters were tasty. Great seasoning. (4.5/5) Stinky Tofu - Personally didn't like this but also I'm not a big fan of stinky tofu in general. I think the tofu could be crispier overall but yeah it's pretty smelly. (1/5) Sauteed Garlic and Vegetable - Personally thought this was whatever. It's basic but if you need greens its not bad. (2.5/5) Minced Pork Over Rice - The portion was small but the flavors were good. Best thing we had easily. Very tasty dish. (5/5) Deep Fried Fish - Fried perfectly and flavors were good. Wasn't too greasy which was great. (4/5) Overall it's a pretty good spot for authentic Taiwanese food. Prices were reasonable and we spent $95 for 5 people before tip. Would I be back, I thought it was on the more okay side so probably not but glad I gave it a try.

    If you're a fan of real-deal Taiwanese flavors, this spot is a must-try! I came mainly for the stinky tofu and three-cup chicken, and both were incredible. The stinky tofu had that perfect level of funkiness--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and paired with tangy pickled cabbage that balanced everything out. The three-cup chicken (san bei ji) was full of flavor--savory, fragrant, and slightly sweet with that rich basil aroma that fills the whole table. It reminded me of home-cooked food in Taiwan. Everything tasted fresh, portions were generous, and the service was friendly and fast. The atmosphere is casual but cozy--great for a comforting meal or bringing friends who want to try real Taiwanese dishes.

    This is my go to spot for authentic Taiwanese food. The quality is pretty close to Taiwan compared to other restaurants. The staffs are super friendly and knowledgeable. It is on the pricier side. I would recommend it.

    The restaurants name in Mandarin means"TEN" So you understand why it is so popular and loved by the guest ! Here they serve their authentic Taiwanese food ! I'm very surprised and happy to taste so delicious authentic Chinese food like the country I was born ! Which the food I missed so much like I missed my country! Actually, there are only four of us , can we order a lot since I want to try each every favorite food that I missed?, And I'm sure I'm coming back again to try all the other delicious dish that I didn't order.!

    This was our first visit and we first arrived, I felt very rushed. Later, I realized that I barely made the cut before their lunch break which made sense of felt rushed. I'm glad they took us in instead of sending us away! I went specifically for the rice noodles soup and the stinky tofu and both didn't disappoint. Coming from a picky eater, that means something. At the first bite, I thought the rice noodles were not salty(flavorful enough) but when I added the white pepper, the flavor popped. The soup came out HOT, which is exactly how I like it! We ordered two stable side dishes and both were flavorful and tender. The stinky tofu was served last but it was worth the wait! It is quite authentic especially pairing with the pickled cabbage and the hot sauce. Speaking of the hot sauce, did I mention that I am a picky eater? I am not the one hot sauce goes with everything kinda gal and their selections were perfect for what I needed. Another worth mentioning, their restroom was very cleaning!!!! That alone is worth the 4 stars. I will definitely go back again and will recommend to anyone who craves a bit Taiwanese dishes. 我想吃米粉湯跟臭豆腐但又不想去之前去Temple city 吃過的那家,正在頭痛不知所措時突然看到Java Cafe. 點進Yelp看到米粉湯跟臭豆腐,尤其臭豆腐的照片就像是台灣的一樣,我立馬加足油門「宏前ㄍㄧㄤ」(台語不好請見諒)。 剛坐下就聽到,我先幫妳點吧!對我有選擇障礙的人來說,這句話有點壓迫感即使我知道我想吃米粉湯跟臭豆腐。 後來發現是因為他們要午休了,難怪。 我們點了兩碗米粉湯,臭豆腐跟滷味三拼。 老闆娘跟菜單上都推薦米粉湯配黑白切因為老闆娘說米粉湯只有米粉跟湯而已。 我們也追加了黑白切(嘴邊肉、大腸跟油豆腐)。 米粉湯蠻大碗的(難怪老闆娘只上一碗)不過我們太餓了並都想吃獨食,所以又叫了一碗。 第一口米粉湯入口時覺得味道不夠但加夠白胡椒粉後,整個味道都提升了。 太久沒吃了,忘了要加胡椒粉。喔,對了,米粉湯出來時是熱騰騰的,加分!!! 滷味三拼(豆乾、滷蛋跟海帶),豆乾入味柔軟,海帶香甜脆口而滷蛋更是一級棒。 臭豆腐配著台灣泡菜別家也有不過他們家的是真的好吃! 泡菜脆脆的,微甜,味道不重當配菜剛好。 除了東西好吃外,另有兩件事也值得一提。 其一,我是無辣不歡的人,也不是ㄧ辣走天下的人。 不同的菜要配不同的辣椒。 他們備足了兩種,辣椒醬(吃臭豆腐跟黑白切),辣油(吃滷味),雖然辣油不是很辣不過意思到了,加分! 其二,這也是對我很重要的一點,他們的洗手間很乾淨,看得出來他們很用心經營。這個加巨分!!! 我不住附近不過還是會再去的,以後還要帶其他家人跟朋友。 難得一次吃外食沒有後悔去了那家餐廳。 我是個無辣不歡的人

    Java Cafe Taiwanese Cuisine is located in Rowland Heights (directly across from Boomers Los Angeles). The restaurant has been around for at least 15+ years and I stopped by this cafe for a quick lunch in recent months. [Parking]: Has a free private parking lot and I had no issue finding a spot to park. [Service]: Subpar service, but there were complimentary peanut appetizer and hot tea. [Menu]: The restaurant advertises their Taiwanese hot stir-fry dishes as their speciality and this places also sells special Lunar New Year dishes every year, but some of hot stir-fry dishes are seasonal. Some of more unique and highlighted stir-fry dishes include #27 Gracilaria aka Dragon Whiskers (龍鬚菜 - seasonal), #3 Water Bamboo Shoot (aka Wild Bamboo Shoot) with Shredded Pork (筊白筍炒肉絲 - seasonal), #1 Cilantro Root with Beef (香根牛肉), #7 Deep Fried Salt and pepper Oyster (蚵仔酥), #5 Taiwanese Salted Pork (台灣鹹豬肉) / #6 Stir Fried Tender Garlic w/ Salted Pork (蒜苗鹹豬肉), #18 Stewed Chinese Cabbage (白菜滷), etc. I was pretty overwhelmed with their selection of Taiwanese hot stir-fry dishes and I ended up with Yelp's highlighted dishes - beef noodle soup and stinky tofu. Please note that they also sell this special clear broth beef noodle soup for $49 (as of August 2024) in limited quantity. *** #3 House Special Beef Noodle Soup ($14.95): It was basically the classic braised beef noodle soup. Everything was generally good from broth, noodle, and beef. However it was my 1st time having a beef noodle soup with ginger slices instead of Chinese cabbage. That left much to be desired. #2 Deep Fried Pork Chop Rice Combo ($12.95: I sampled their pork chop and it was pretty solid, but side dishes like cucumber tasted pretty uninspiring. #7 Stinky Tofu ($10.95): Stingy portion on Taiwanese cabbage. While stinky aroma and crispy tofu texture were on point, I was somewhat disappointed with this dish. *** 3-star mostly on their popular highlighted dishes via Yelp, but I am willing to give this place another try, but only for their Taiwanese hot stir-fry dishes as not many restaurants in SoCal cook some of these specialty dishes. P.S. - The only other Taiwanese restaurant that offers Gracilaria is Eat Joy Food (https://www.yelp.com/biz/eat-joy-food-rowland-hghts-3) and the restaurant received Bib Gourmand from Michelin (https://guide.michelin.com/us/en/california/rowland-heights_2880170/restaurant/eat-joy-food).

We had ordered Thai iced tea, the beef chow fun, potstickers, bbq pork appetizer, and the string bean chicken. Here's a breakdown of what I thought of each of the dishes: - You can never go wrong with a Thai Iced tea. This hit the spot, was refreshing, and was the perfect thing to sip on whilst waiting for our food. - The potstickers were okay. They were definitely lacking a dipping sauce, which I think would've balanced the dish out perfectly! - I really enjoyed the bbq pork! It was slightly on the dry side, but I didn't mind. (I tend to like meat on the dryer side for some odd reason). I think this dish, with a side of fried of rice would be spectacular together! - The Beef Chow Fun was my favorite of the items we ordered. The noodles & accoutrements were seasoned beautifully and the beef was tender and delicious. - The string bean chicken was also yummy! The string beans were cooked to perfection! However, my only critique of this dish is that there was not enough chicken and the chicken bits were a tad smaller than I had expected them to be. I definitely want to come back here and try more of the menu items! I'm eyeing the braised beef noodle soup, the pan fried noodles, the orange chicken, and the spare ribs for next time... YUMMY! Overall, what's not to love about Canaan Chinese Cuisine? The food is DELICIOUS, the portions are large, the location is great, and the overall experience is fantastic! I highly recommend this spot to any folks that are in the area looking for a solid Chinese/Taiwanese foodie experience!

When I asked she had only charge me for a single one which was fine but another worker had to come check the order for me and explain the mix up.

The noodles were gummy and stuck together in a giant clump which made it hard to eat. For $17 with no meat and overly soft noodles, this was not worth it. The cheese coin was a total disappointment. It was mostly mochi like breading and very little cheese that didn't have any pull to it. Not sure what cheese they used but it's not anything like the ones in Korea.

Egg Drop Soup (Free): It's boiled water, egg, and cornstarch. Idk if they even salted it. They might have. It doesn't matter, it's free. They took it away before we could finish the pot. Peking Style Pork Chop: It's good. I will gladly spend $13 for this. You get the signature sauce that's sweet, salty, and just generally good. I can recommend this 100%. Curry Beef Stew: Another above average option for the price point. Not too spicy, tender beef brisket, at a respectable portion size. No complaints from my end. Seafood Tofu: The worst of the bunch.

After we started to skim the menu, I noticed that most of the menu items did not have pricing information clearly displayed. Since we were a large party, we decided to order the dinner package.

Since when did Chinese food get so pricey? Pan fried noodles were ok, walnut shrimp was good, pork chops were decent but everything else was mid! Oh and those sodas are about $7,xx bux each so stick to hot tea. Also, they wrote in a suggested tip amount and underlined 16% but probably charged the 18%. It's also calculated after tax. It's supposed to be calculated based on pre-tax. I didn't want to fuss over the bill while the server stood over me. This will probably be the last time I step foot in this place. Not worth the price point at all.

    I normallly order take-out from Tasty Spot Cafe (TSC) (previously known as Delicious Food Corner)…read morein the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) area. However, one evening, I had already left SGV. I googled for any TSC locations on my way home. Bingo! There is one TSC in West Covina right next to Tokyo Central. I was on my way... I phoned in my order for a few dishes for both my daughters and me. My youngest daughter loves their Shredded Pork Chow Mein (crispy style) and BBQ Pork Chow Mein (dry style). They both tasted delicious. I got my eldest daughter one of her favorites, Honey Walnut Shrimp. Tons of big shrimps, but too much mayonnaise. I had the Taishan Chinese Broccoli wth Fish Filet. Lots of broccoli and fish filet with great flavor and taste. I love eating it with white rice! Parking is plenty. Good and bright inside space. They also have a BBQ deli. Staff was friendly. Prices were a tad higher than norm. My order was ready upon arrival so no wait time except for paying the bill. I was in and out of here under 5 minutes. Fantastic! I will be back. Thank you TSC!

    Yummy!! I was looking for Delicious Food Corner because that's the address for this place on Yelp…read more I was hesitant to go in when I saw that it wasn't DFC but was already there and decided to give it a shot. The restaurant was spacious and there weren't too many customers. The guy who took our order was very nice. We ordered fish fillet with creamed corn, steamed garlic ribs and beef chow fun. It was so good! I'd come back to try more dishes
