I often crave for a good fantuan and a lot of the places are on the peninsula/South Bay and not many in the east bay. Except MITK. Which is great because MITK, hit the spot if you're looking and craving for Taiwanese food! They're a hole in a wall and serves up freshly made food Wed-Sun. They post up the menu and prices on their FB group and you can either order through FB or drop by their actual store to order. They also do pop up and delivery to different parts of the bay but I mostly just order through FB and in person. Prices are reasonable for homemade food, it's not a big establishment and everything is made day of. They recently also started selling jianbing (Chinese crispy crepe) and for the price, you're getting a full meal out of it! read more

A small hidden shop with quick service! There is not much standing room inside, so would definitely check out the menu beforehand if possible. The purple rice burrito was delicious and had a great crunch from the fried dough, saltiness from preserved vegetables and also contained pork floss and eggs. Only thing to watch out for is the burrito does gradually come apart once the plastic wrap is unraveled. P.s. bring cash otherwise there is a credit card fee read more

MITK Kitchen - Purple Rice Burrito - Taiwanese Near Me - Hayward, California

See all

During a recent visit to Hayward, I had a craving for Taiwanese food and stumbled upon MITK Kitchen after a quick search on Yelp. Located in an industrial business park near a car audio and tinting shop, the location is very unassuming: take-out only, with no seating indoor or outdoor. I stopped by right when they opened and within 10 minutes, there was a long line out the door. There are a bunch of pre-made bentos and other grab-and-go items on the counter, but there's an entire made-to-order menu as well. I stopped by in a group and was able to try a wide variety of items. MITK Kitchen has by far the best fan tuan in the Bay Area -- it's not even close. The fan tuan here are so much better tasting and better value than the ones at Xiaoman Riceburrito down in Cupertino and Ranch 99. They are really generous here with how much fillings they pack into a fan tuan. The you tiao inside is incredibly crispy and the pickled veggies and stewed egg inside are exactly like how you'd find them from a street vendor in Taiwan. Definitely get the purple spicy version, because that one is a winner. The other dishes I had a chance to try out was the black pepper bun, the beef roll pancake, and the fried red pork belly bento. Of the three, the one I enjoyed the most was the black pepper bun. There's a lot of well-seasoned beef inside that's juicy and tender. Not quite as juicy as the ones you'll find at Raohe Night Market, but definitely one of the better ones I've had in the Bay Area. The beef roll pancake I tried out was a made-to-order item. The one here is a bit on the bland side -- lacking a slathering of sweet plum sauce and thinly, julienned scallions, but it was good value. The pork belly in the bento we picked up was nicely fried and had a texture similar to popcorn chicken. This one could have been seasoned just a tad more, but I loved the lou rou fan that came with the bento. Overall, while not a perfect meal, I would definitely recommend MITK Kitchen if you're looking to satisfy your craving to Taiwanese snacks and bentos. read more

I was eager to try 阿美厨房 (MITK Kitchen) when I was in Hayward for my friend's powerlifting competition, as I am a huge fan of Taiwanese food and love a good Taiwanese breakfast. However, this place fell short of expectations by a landslide. I walked over to MITK in between my friend's sets and ordered a 鸡蛋饭团 (egg and chive rice roll). I excitedly took the first bite, but it was bad, and it only got worse from there. Everything tasted off about the fantuan, which was not a good sign, and I've had MANY, the first of which were from the GOAT, Taipei itself. For starters, the rice had zero flavour and the texture was off, which indicated to me it was either cheap American grown Calrose sweet rice or very old rice from Asia. The egg was prepared American style and also had zero flavour. The 油条 (fried dough stick) tasted stale and way too crunchy. It had a sharp cracker consistency, with none of pillowy softness in fresh youtiao. The 肉松 (meat floss) was the only ingredient that offered a bit of flavour, but barely. All other fantuan I've gotten included 榨菜 (pickled mustard greens), but this fantuan was definitely missing its satisfying crunch and umami taste. Overall, whatever I got here was not an authentic fantuan. It had the right ingredients, but it somehow tasted nothing like the real deal. This is by far the worst fantuan I've ever had, the only one I actually completely disliked, and worst of all, the most expensive at $9. When I saw the rave reviews for MITK, I knew I had to try it, but I guess others haven't experienced authentic Taiwanese food, or they've settled for this knockoff. read more

We Yelpers LOVE a good hidden gem. MITK Kitchen quite literally brings you back to a small ma & pop shop in Taiwan with its small cramped interior, lengthy menu stacked with Taiwanese favorites, and fresh soymilk pre-made cups. This spot is hidden in a warehouse area where you wouldn't expect great Taiwanese food to be found. The cashier was very friendly and fluent in both Chinese and English. He explained the menu thoroughly and walked us through some popular items. Bento boxes, rice burritos, sweet potato balls, the list goes on and on. There's just so many options here. It's easy to get overwhelmed. Jianbing with roasted duck- they made this fresh on the spot in front of us. As soon as it was done it was piping hot. The onion crepe was thin and chewy. The sauce was quite salty but paired well with the roasted duck and lettuce. The wonton cracker was still a little crispy and added a nice crunchy texture to each bite. I asked for spicy and they did deliver in spice. Fan tuan with braised pork- These were premade and sitting in a cooler so i kept my expectations low. The chinese donut was soggy so it would definitely be better if served fresh. The pork belly was soft, fatty, and tender with a nice soy glaze. I feel like this fantuan was missing more texture and flavors.. so for that reason, I prefer the fan tuan at other spots like Taiwanese Eats in San Jose. If I'm ever in the area, I would come back and try other items. They have so many Taiwanese snacks that you can't really find in the Bay Area. Keep in mind this spot is takeout only and cash only. There is a private parking lot right outside. read more

Wow, legit family-run Taiwanese takeout-only spot in a nondescript warehouse right off Whipple. I've driven by dozens of times and knew this place existed! A friend told me about it, whose friend also told her about it. Known for their various bentos, fantuan, and other Taiwanese snacks like stinky tofu. Unfortunately menu not available online so had to rely on Yelpers' photos (thanks!). I called the day before to place a group order. Guy said their Facebook page has the latest info on what's available and pricing. Too bad they didn't have Changhua crystal meatball, that's a specialty not often found here. I got a Jianbing with duck and stinky tofu, both which were made fresh on spot. It got close to noon so they got busy and it was 10 min wait. Jianbing was tasty and pretty filling, next time will try regular pork belly. Stinky tofu wasn't stinky at all, more like fried tofu (3/5). Pay cash for discount. Credit card has surcharge. Purchase over $50 also get free soup base thing, can be used for noodles or hot pot. read more

First time here for the pork belly burrito, which is pretty tasty btw. Soy milk was just ok. -1 for confusing location. -2 for overcharging me $18 instead of only $12 for both my items.

Waited in the car for a fan tuan prior to opening. I would recommend getting out of the car to stand in line because those in the know got in even prior to opening by sneaking up to the front door. Prices are a bit on the high side for what you get but with limited options in the Bay Area for Taiwanese snacks it's no wonder this place does so well. read more

This is a great little place to pickup various Taiwanese bento boxes! It's located in a very industrial area and they just have a small store front in the plaza. Most bento boxes are premade and you can pickup and take it to go, although there are dishes they can make fresh for you in the back as well. Most bento's are in the $12-15 range and then the fan tuan/rice burrito is $7 for white rice and $7.50 for purple rice. This place is cash only so bring enough for the amount of dishes you're looking for! All the food is good and tastes really honey. My favorites were the braised pork belly and red pork chop. Jiang bin/crepe is made right in front of your eyes! I just ate it cold but some of the fried ones would definitely taste even better if you air fried some of the proteins to make it a little bit crispy. They also have some steamed and pan fried bao's in the front for purchase. Definitely worth stopping by if you're craving Taiwanese bento's! read more

Taiwanese bentos and quick bites pre-ordered to guarantee availability and freshness from this small operation, serving patrons all across the Bay Area! We first became aware of MITK via Yelp as we were searching for places that serve sticky rice burritos (fan tuan) and lo and behold, they have one of the most unique and tastiest ones we have had in the bay. In addition, they also offer delicious stinky tofu, Hainan chicken, pork belly and other rice bentos - all of which are flavorful and loaded but the standout for me after trying this place several times is still their purple sticky rice burritos. Their fan tuan are stuffed with crispy fried dough, pork floss, tofu pieces, and pickled veggies. Each one is filling enough on its own but for those with an appetite, this is surely an appetizer to open that stomach. The Hainan chicken and pork belly meats are super succulent and will keep you chomping down for more. The chicken comes with their signature ginger garlic oil dipping sauce which I couldn't get enough of. Each bento is served with rice, veggies and a half of tea egg. It's definitely shareable, especially if you've already had a full fan tuan of your own. Otherwise, a bento on its own is a hearty dish and will fill you up with a balanced diet. The stinky tofu is crispy and pair well with the pickled veggies and dipping sauce. I've had stinkier ones elsewhere but if you're craving it and are already grabbing a meal here, get it! You won't regret it! This little shop is managed by a small team, truly a mom and pop shop. Most times, we have ordered ahead to ensure a quick and complete pickup. The takeout packaging has always been solid and comes with all the utensils you need for you and your party. Overall, MITK Kitchen is the kitchen you never have to step foot and labor in to get your favorite, delicious Taiwanese dishes made with care in small fresh batches and ready to be taken wherever you please to enjoy. This a gem of the east bay and should definitely be in your bookmarks for your next visit to the area. And if you're a fan of sticky rice burrito/fan tuan, this is certainly a place you'll want to try! Just make sure you order ahead! read more

So good! Very tasty! I don't know much about fan tuan but my friend loved it! I messaged them on Facebook with short notice and they still made it happen! Very quick and easy to just stop by, pay, and pickup. Will definitely be returning! There's no sit down, but that is not a huge point for me. The people were kind, no frills, but still quality food read more

MITK Kitchen is a great spot when you are craving Taiwanese street food. The Beijing crepe is really good, and the rice burrito (fan tuan) is awesome and very filling. Everything tastes fresh and well made. Just a heads up that they only take cash or Zelle, so come prepared. Also, the menu is a bit limited on weekdays, but what they do offer is worth it. Definitely a solid spot if you are in the area. read more

A hidden gem, quite literally. This place is hidden in a lot with a lot of car shops. They sell a variety of Taiwanese foods, primarily street foods. Looks like a lot of people ordered ahead, but they have things available for walk-in as well. There are also pre-made bentos for take out. Since the place is located in a small lot, there are no seating available. This place is essentially togo only. I did, however, see people just get food and eat in their car. Foods: - Rice Burrito (Fan Tuan?) - I got the one with pork belly. It also came with mustard cabbage, Chinese donut, veggie floss, pickled radish and an egg. This thing was bomb! Super tasty and filled to the brim with goodies. There is also a spicy version of this that was really good as well. - Garlic Beef Shank bento - A bit on the salty side for me, but this really good! There is plenty of garlic to go around. Overall, a great place for some Taiwanese food. Would recommend! read more

The day before, we pre-ordered a pork chop bento and pork belly rice burrito. For hot food, pre-ordering is essentially mandatory as there is almost nothing being sold on the fly. We were also able to pick up some frozen zongzi as well as sweet peanut soup from the fridge. There is a discount for paying in cash. There is no seating area or microwave, so we put the zongzi in our ice pack and ate the rest of the food in our car. The food is definitely not hot but it's still a bit warm. The flavor is very good and authentic. read more

I saw this place while looking for Taiwanese food and decided to give it a try. I couldn't find too much info on the store and current menu so I just went in to see for myself. It can be easy to miss since it's just a suite in a non-descript commercial building. Upon entering, it looked like they may have been sold out of a lot of items. That or they didn't have much ready-made foods. I did pick up a spicy fantuan (rice burrito) and a hujiaobing (black pepper bun). The only other item there was a pork belly bento box. The fantuan was stored in a warmer so you can eat it right away if you want. Mine had purple rice on the outside and youtiao (Chinese donut), dry-pressed tofu, egg, and some sort of vegetables in the inside. I couldn't tell what the spice was from, but there was a small kick of heat which complimented the dish well. I enjoyed the fantuan as a whole, though the youtiao was a bit overcooked and hard. I think the ratio of filling to rice was just right though; they didn't use an absurd amount of rice. The hujiaobing was larger than I expected. At a glance, it had a nice top and appeared to be baked well. It's definitely different from the street food version but still tasted good. The pork was juicy and flavorful and even had whole pieces of pork belly. The only thing I would say is a downside is the bottom was a bit soggy and collapsed after a few bites. The store is cash and Zelle preferred. I believe they do accept card but there's a fee. They also advertised other food items such as stinky tofu but they didn't have it in hand. It may be better to call ahead to see what they have! It's really handy to be able to grab and go though. read more

Clean, tiny place with tons of ready to eat food to go! I was pumped that I finally got to try out this place. I got the chicken feet, rice cake with shiitake mushroom and shredded pork, cabbage bun, raw fried cabbage bun, and purple rice roll. The winner was the rice cake, thank goodness I got 2! I haven't had that since I was in Taiwan years ago. The chicken feet were good, but just a little spicy for me. I love that the rice roll had stewed egg in it. The service was super amazing! I look forward to going back! read more

A Taiwanese hidden gem in the bay area that is absolutely worth the visit! The way to pre-order is a bit confusing but it's worth figuring out since items can sell out fast if you don't come early. For best deals, stop by on Wednesdays when they offer a discount. Their fantuan and lunch boxes are fantastic - fresh, flavorful and made with care. Their mouth-watering chicken is another standout, with the right balance of spice and tenderness. They also roll-out seasonal specials like Buddha jumps over the wall, rice cake and radish cake during Chinese New Year and rice dumplings during Dragon Boat Festival, which really add to the authentic experience. read more

Yummy rice burrito. So tasty and fresh. Will try more things next time and come back when I crave fan tuan

Something wrong happened on a Saturday lunch hour where I received the wrong orders-- regardless, I was on my lunch work hour and in a hurry to eat. Handling the white rice pork belly burrito was a MESS as it fell apart as I unwrapped it. The Chinese fried donut in the burrito must've been fried several times as it was hard as a rock. I'm just gonna put this visit in the books as a ONE-OFF since I did look forward to the purple rice burrito with braised beef that I enjoyed in the previous visits. [sadness] read more

Soul satisfying Taiwanese soul food. Will definitely put you in a food coma, but it's not heavy or overly seasoned. I would call it elevated home cooking, But I definitely wouldn't be able to make any of it from my kitchen. I see why this spot is such a gem. Next to the storage lot - don't go into that parking lot like we did. Very busy on a Sunday at noon. Glad I called ahead to place an order yesterday. The number listed on Yelp is good. First time trying stinky tofu and they make that fresh while you wait - smells stinkier than it tastes. Really enjoyed the red pork - comes with fish cake, preserved veggies and corn/ham. Every bento felt like a complete meal. The pork pastry wasn't overly greasy - reminded me of dim sum with pastry dough. Check out their speciality Taiwanese pantry items - pricy but unique and good quality. Accepts cash, check or Zelle. Cc's have 3% charge read more

Ok I've been missing Taiwanese food for sooooo long. And it only made sense it would be from a take out only place!! Flavors are perfection, so nostalgic. 2 bento, 3 fan tuan, 3 xian bing = $59 cash only (or Zelle). Bento: rice is perfect Japanese short grain, and the rou zao person was not stingy (!!!!!), even the fish cake was seasoned so nicely I may have skipped the pork if I wasn't paying attention. Broccoli is also surprisingly al dente and perfect. Fan tuan: I prefer the hard boiled egg one over the pork belly, even if the belly sounded really good in burrito form. The sweet and salty and texture differences were perfect. Falls apart a little but I think all fan Tuan places around the Bay Area get that review. Haven't tried the spicy versions yet. Xian bing : I think I got the last 2 and I was only #5 in line?? The rest was probably pre ordered and set aside. No stinky tofu today, still getting stinky apparently. Def come around 11am, I suspect everything else is preordered. One day I'll try the Milpitas pick up location for pre order. read more

The fan tuan (rice burrito) was so yummy! We got: * white rice burrito with pork belly * purple rice burrito - original Both fan tuans were flavorful and packed with fillings. I preferred the purple rice burrito (fillings include boiled egg, youtiao, tofu, pork floss and pickled vegetatables) while my partner liked the pork belly better (same as original but pork belly instead of egg). I thought the pork belly was too fatty, but it tasted good regardless. The total came out to be $14.50 (we paid by cash). My partner and I were overwhelmed with the traditional Mandarin menu but we were able to secure the goods. The lady speaks English and the prepackaged hot foods also have English labels. The location is very lowkey and there was no space to eat there. Fan tuan can be messy so be careful as you enjoy them! Make sure to go early for more options. They were scarce on burritos when we came around 11am Saturday. I'll be back!! read more

Short Story: A good place for Taiwanese street food. Long Story: I've been coming here for several times now along with their "night market events." I've gotten their rice burritos, stinky tofu, black pepper buns, and more! The Hayward location is more of a small storefront. You can only order take out and there's no dining area. It's also better to call a day or two ahead and pre-order. I really like their rice burritos and the stinky tofu. Ever since China Bee in San Mateo closed there's no good place for tofu anymore. But MITK Kitchen comes close! The prices are really good as well. Verdict: I'll definitely go back! read more

As a Taiwanese person myself, I am always on the hunt to find amazing Taiwanese food in the Bay Area. Nestled in an industrial park of the East Bay is this gem where (in my opinion), some of the best Taiwanese food is produced. This place is not a restaurant but more of small store with hot foods for sale. Stepping into the store brings back nostalgia of being in a small mom and pop shop in Taiwan. The classic Taiwanese snacks bring back memories. Parking is easy and right outside the store. I found this place while searching on Yelp (go figure haha) as I have been craving a fan tuan for the longest time - especially a purple rice fan tuan. They have ready made hot foods for sale: fried red pork belly bento (紅糟肉便當), pork feet bento (豬腳便當), braised pork chop (滷排骨), bawan (肉圓), spicy wontons, Hainan chicken, and many more classic Taiwan dishes. Their purple rice fan tuan is really popular so would suggest calling in to pre-order for pickup before heading to the store. Service was simple, there is someone upfront that'll bring out your order - helps if you know how to speak mandarin. I ordered two purple rice burritos and the fried red pork belly bento - and let me tell you, both dishes were AMAZING. The closest to Taiwan taste I have had in the Bay Area. The purple rice burrito has the BEST chewy purple rice and their vegetarian filling was seasoned so well. I was ready to go back for more the second I had my first bite. If you are looking to satisfy your Taiwanese food craving, you won't be disappointed coming here. Will definitely be back very soon :) read more

best rice burrito in Bay Area!! The pork belly is tender and the Chinese donuts are super crunchy.

I didn't feel like cooking so I had hubby pick up lunch from here. We picked up braised pork belly rice burrito, pork chop rice burrito, fried red pork belly bento, fried chicken leg bento, braised pork belly bento, and pork pancakes. Customer service was good. Hubby didn't know what to do when he walked inside the store but one of the employees, who spoke English, assisted him. As for taste, I thought everything tasted average. I was excited to try the rice burritos but they were quite bland. The pork pancakes were super greasy so it was not my cup of tea. read more

MITK Kitchen - a variety of food items on a table - Taiwanese Near Me - Hayward, California

I found out about this Taiwanese takeout food place from my sister-in-law. It's in an area with a bunch of warehouses and we drove slowly to find their storefront/entrance. They have parking stalls right in front of their entrance. My sister-in-law did a pre-ordered and we got a few things to share. My favorites were the fan tuan and the sheng jian bao. The fan tuan was still warm and the filling in the center had ground pork, preserved vegetables, and Chinese donut crispies. The sheng jian bao was made fresh, it was hot, so we let it cool down before eating it. The bao was super juicy so be careful on the first bite. It was filled with pork and the outside of the bao was cooked perfectly. The inside the of store is also stocked with Taiwanese snacks, instant noodles, and toys. The lady in the shop was friendly and she explained what some of the items were to me in English since I don't speak Mandarin. We bought some chilled pudding and a few varieties of instant noodles to try since we don't get those products in Hawaii. I highly recommend checking out this place for the delicious Taiwanese foods/snacks. read more

I got it as a food truck. Very yummy sticky rice, especially. All the food was fast and warm. The flavor for the sticky rice was delicious. The stinky tofu is also especially good.

I was craving a Taiwanese rice burrito and discovered this was nearby me. I forgot to check their opening hours and had assumed they opened early so I arrived disappointed that they were closed but the owner happened to see us outside while they were prepping and she opened the doors for us and let me order! The owner was super sweet and friendly, she talked to us about her food and I mentioned that I was planning to go to Taiwan soon so she gave me some suggestions. And luckily I was able to get my two rice burritos which were both pretty good, although I would say I liked the one at Xiaoman in South Bay more. I definitely want to come back to try their milk tea and their pepper bun, among other things! I told my friend about it the same day since she loved the pepper buns in Taiwan and they were sold out by 1! Definitely must go back to try it. It's a small shop so you can grab some food, snacks, and drinks to go. I recommend bringing cash or if you have Zelle, that's another option since they charge fees on credit card payments. read more

This place is hidden in the middle of nowhere. It's next to some warehouses with parking available. Even though the location of the store doesn't seem like much, there was a line of people waiting outside. There is a way to reserve your order on their Facebook group online cuz their more popular items like the fan tuan (rice balls) get sold out later in the day. We pre-ordered some fan tuan, oyster misua noodles, and stinky tofu. There were also premade dishes in the store that you can choose from. We got the Hainan chicken rice and sticky rice from there. There was a fridge on the side of the store that has additional items. The inside of the store isn't big so most people wait outside for their turn. Their menus are also mostly in Chinese which isn't a deal breaker if you can speak Chinese or if you want something that is premade in the store. We took our items to go since there is nowhere to eat there. They were nice enough to leave the lid of the stinky tofu open so it doesn't get soggy. It was definitely very pungent but we all like the smell of it. We haven't found a lot of places with good crispy stinky tofu outside of Taiwan. Since the lid was left open, the tofu did get a bit cold by the time we arrived home, but definitely reminds us of Taiwan! The fan tuans all have a lot of filling and not too much rice. Very good ratio and tasty. The other items were very solid choices and great if you're craving those particular items. This is a great place for authentic Taiwanese street food! read more

The hole in a wall place has superb authentic Taiwanese food! Yes, they don't have indoor or outdoor seating, but the food is so good that it's worth the effort to takeout and eat at home or at the park when the weather is great. A tip now that I've been there once, GO EARLY or order ahead. They sell out quickly, especially the extra good stuff. We got: 1) Hainan chicken rice - the chicken is so juicy and tender, and goes well with the flavored chicken rice with condiments. This is GOOD chicken rice. 2) Red pork chop rice - if you know, you know. This is delicious and reminds me of the red pork chop in Taiwan! 3) Rice burrito (rice on the outside with assorted vegetables, braised egg, and Chinese doughnut) - oh so so good and it hits the spot as I was reminded of how much I miss this when I first had it in Taiwan. Haven't found anywhere else that makes these and especially when it is made so delicious! We will be back and yes, will be there early to get the other items that we sadly couldn't get our hands on. read more

I know Taiwanese people are overly polite and all but... I've tried most of their items several times and I'm still not sure why no one has mentioned how high their prices are (inflation or not) for how inconsistent their rice ball quality is. Their rice balls (~$8) do have good filling but is very inconsistent now that they've increased production and the boss lady isn't always there. Three times now I've thrown away partially finished ones due to stale ingredients or the fried dough stick being way too over fried or under fried. Or the rice being too dry. Many other items they sell don't taste good after it's been packed in a box (ie fried pork chop and mee suah). The vermicelli noodles tasted like boiled dried bonito flakes and was so soggy I threw away the whole container. Items aside from rice balls cost roughly $12-15 while the imported instant noodles are like $5 a pack. The Hainan chicken is not bad but they don't even put scallions in the ginger sauce like they once did. The frozen stuff is okay too, overpriced, but more reliable than other stuff. Satisfies a bit of nostalgia but aside from the stinky tofu(!!!!!) not much else is worthwhile anymore IMO Their stinky tofu, however, is like no other, the boss lady ferments it the old fashioned way. Not with chemicals additives like most shops. Stinky tofu is 5 stars. read more

Wow what a wonderful gem. You would never know that in this sea of office buildings there is a kitchen selling wonderful Taiwanese food, with the best Fan Tuan in the East bay. The service is as you would expect and the ambiance is no frills...but you come here for the food. Now, ordering from this place is NOT easy, but if you are interested in tasty Fan Tuan (their specialty) then read on. Everything is in Chinese, including the menus, but their most popular items are: Original Fan Tuan (no egg) Purple Rice Fan Tuan (has braised egg in it) Hainan Chicken Bento Red Pork Cutlet Bento Fried Pork Chop Bento Garlic Beef Shank Bento Most things are preorder only, and you have to do it 1-3 days in advance via the process below. They DO NOT pick up their phones reliably, nor do same day orders. Guide to get your wonderful Fan Tuan: 1. Go to Facebook and type in MITK (see the image below) and request to join their Facebook group. 2. Once you are accepted, find the most recent post. Alternatively, you can DM her like I did to begin your order. 3. You can respond directly to the most recent post with your order details. Advise your pick up date and order and be specific. Maxine, the owner will respond with a number that you will tell the cashier when you go for pick up. 4. Orders are ready for you when they open, around ~12. When you arrive, look for the blue tent (see pictures below). The address does not take you directly to the shop but just drive around the plaza looking for the tent/ shop signage. 5. Stand in line and when it's your turn, pay with cash (you get a discount) or card. They may or may not have extra items for sale that day. Preorder to avoid disappointment. Good luck! read more
