When i saw them appearing on my feed, i wanted to try but couldnt make the drop times and the hayward location had just stopped allowing pickup. I got such a kind phone call, offering delivery - such personalized service that these small mom and son shops give along with the scale difficulties they face. I ordered: Fantuan, of course - one purple rice and one regualr. Both good. Filled with pork belly, rou song, pickles. Good flavor and texture. Wish i could compare apples to apples with the fresh ones i have had in hong kong Beef shank Eggs Hainan chicken - still prefer Ming Kee. I know its not same. The spicy one is a bit different here but maybe we could make a spicy sauce for our ming kee chicken Fish ball soup - filled with minced pork. Good! Simple. Also reminiscent of fish ball soup I have had but usually with lots of seaweed Soy milk - they were out so subbed winter melon Would definitely get the fantuan again! read more

I went on a weekday so the menu is limited. Many street snacks are only available on the weekends. Even though that was a bit disappointing, the fan-tuan (rice balls) were very much available as well as milk teas and sugarcane juice. They also had some varieties of lunch bento boxes. The rice balls tasted delicious, almost just like how they make it in Taiwan! I ordered one with Taiwanese sausage inside and I enjoyed it very much. There are several topping choices to choose from. The drinks were tasty and refreshing too. The food is surely 5/5 but service and wait time can use some help. Inside space is small so it gets crowded very fast. It's strictly a take-out operation right now but hopefully they can find another space to have sit down space. Apparently they take orders on their website too but haven't tried it yet. read more

They take orders through fb group or through the square app only now with pickups at predetermined meetup spots since parking is an issue at the shop location. Their fantuan is so good!! I want to order more but waiting for them to come to my area again...! Prices are fair and rice to filling ratio is perfect. read more

MITK Kitchen - Hell no - Taiwanese Near Me - Hayward, California

Came on a little before noon on a Saturday and it took about 30 mins before we got to the front to order. Took about another 15 mins after that before we got our order. I ordered the pork belly fan tuan with purple rice. I had low expectations because I always end up getting disappointed since it the ones in Taiwan tastes better. BUT THIS PLACE IS SO GOOD. The pork belly was tender and the perfect fattiness. The crunchy bits were a good balance. The rice ratio was perfect. I also ordered the jian bing with duck and was also blown away. It was nice to be able to see them make the crepe fresh in front of me! Huge fan of duck and all the ingredients paired well together. You can request for spicy or not spicy. Recommend coming earlier to beat the rush. Otherwise be prepared to stand in the sun. No tables or seats available. This place is legit. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Tik Tok and instagram has really ruined this place. Before the lines were for the weekends.. now because of the reels, there's also a line on weekdays. Get there before 11 and you see a line in the small parking lot. Also you wouldn't know there was a small mom pop here because it's in the industrial plaza. It does get a little chaotic because you have online orders as well as walk up. The bentos people don't talk about but it's a really good portion for $10, $14 for hainan chicken. The fan tuan: The flavors are good we got a spicy pork belly (which pork belly isn't usually an option for fan tuan at most places) with purple rice, and a braised beef. the fan tuan is pretty good, I know some people loved the super fried hard chinese donut, but I prefer it to have a little more chew vs... it's on the edge of fried too long. I also don't know how these people ate it in their cars without making a mess, because there is a thin layer is sticky rice with each bite it was crumbling all over the place. I think i prefer my fan tuans to me squeezed a little tighter so it's slightly easier to eat. We also got a hainan chicken bento and a pork chop bento. People should be reviewing these. for $10 it's a decent amount of food and it tastes fresh. I def liked the tomato egg side that came with the porkchop, it was very nastalgic. The minus stars are for : parking, if it gets really busy as it does it can be hard to find a spot. and because it's so popular now fan tuan used to be fast, but now you're waiting some time to order and then some time waiting for yours to be rolled, especially with all the online orders pouring in. Also: if you pay cash or zelle there's no tax, if you pay via creditcard be prepared to pay a tax. read more

Fan Tuan is the viral food item that has been all over socials, so we decided to stop by to check it out. We arrived on a Sunday around 2 PM and a line was already forming. It's located in an industrial area. I wouldn't have known that business here until it was mentioned. We ordered two Fan Tuans - purple rice burrito and pork belly rice burrito (too much rice). The youtiao (Chinese doughnut stick) was harder than I would like. I really enjoyed the veggie floss and mustard pickle because of the texture and the taste. It's been a long time since I've had one of these - pure nostalgia. It's great that there is a Taiwanese small business in my neck of the woods. I will stop by in the future to try other items on their menu. read more

This is the only fan than (Taiwanese rice burrito) spot that I know of in the Bay Area so there's not much to compare it to, but for what I know about it, they do it well. Very authentic. Braised pork belly burrito is always a hit. The main annoying thing is how flaky and messy it gets as you're trying to eat it, but they stuff it with lots of goodies. Their menu is literally all over their walls, so it seems like they're always adding new things. They offer zhong zi in different options too which is nice, but haven't tried those yet. Their bentos are pretty decent. Didn't realize they had a braised beef burrito so might be trying that soon. Service is alright. They are quick and to the point with what they do, but they only accept cash or zelle I think - no credit cards. I think they typically make everything to order too, which is nice. read more

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

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

Got the spicy purple rice fan Tuan with beef and it was so yummy! They do not skimp on the filling. I love the pickled radish and tofu/bean curd. It was a bit hard to eat though since theirs falls apart really easily but it was very delicious. Their jian bing with red roast pork was my favorite. Enjoyed with a cup of cold, sweet soymilk, this was the perfect meal! The place was packed by the time we left but staff was friendly the entire time. Will hopefully be back soon! read more

The rice burritos are delicious here! I do have to mention be ready for chaos. On the weekends a line is already forming before the doors open at 11. There is almost always a line out the door. The first time I wasn't able to wait so I pre ordered for pick up the next time. Door dash predicted my order pick up at 11:35 and I walked out around 11:50, it was a mad house only one person taking and handing out orders and one making the scallion pancakes. They have a small selections of snacks and fresh drinks like soy milk, grass jelly, winter melon tea, and sugar cane juice. I ordered the spicy purple rice burrito and I think this had to be my favorite. The flavors were so well balanced and there was not too much rice. I also enjoyed the pork chop burrito and last the pork belly burrito flavor was good the Chinese donut was not crispy inside so it lacked in texture but not in flavor. I overheard the lady say that they use a veggie floss rather than pork floss because the flavor is better and I won't fight her on it because these rice burritos were tasty. I will be back again to try some more things like the fried items and maybe even some freezer staples!! read more

Yummy!!! Ordered the pork belly rice burrito and it hit the spot! Lots of filling inside and the rice was perfectly cooked. Gave me a mouthgasm at first bite. Crunchy, savory and well seasoned. I also ordered the purple rice burrito which was good too. Green onion beef wrap was okay, but needed to be popped into an air fryer. Taiwanese wonton was delicious and meaty, fried Taiwanese tempura tasted like some sort of fried fish cake. Would definitely order from them again soon. read more

MITK 阿美廚房 Taiwanese Kitchen is one of those places that makes the trip completely worth it. Their rice burritos (fan tuans) are the real stars of the menu--freshly made, packed with flavor, and incredibly satisfying. My favorite is the pork belly fan tuan, which has the perfect balance of savory, rich pork belly and chewy sticky rice. The Taiwanese sausage fan tuan is another must-order, with that signature sweet and savory Taiwanese sausage pairing beautifully with the sticky rice. Don't leave without trying the Taiwanese meatball (bawan). The soft, chewy exterior and flavorful filling make it a classic Taiwanese comfort food that's hard to find done this well. The sauce that comes with it is especially amazing, so much so that the taste takes me back to Taiwan! A word of advice: get there early. The popular items can sell out, and the line can get long. Also, bring a bottle of water and maybe an umbrella or hat because the Hayward sun can be absolutely brutal while you're waiting. Trust me, it's a small price to pay for some of the best Taiwanese breakfast and street food flavors in the Bay Area. read more

The fantuan is delicious. We got the pork belly, pork chop and original. While we were the 3rd party in line with a pre-order, the wait is deceivingly long because everything seems to be made once you get there. It took about 35 minutes of waiting in a squished small space on a hot day. The cold drinks were not that cold, but I appreciated that the winter melon drink wasn't cloyingly sweet. I would definitely come back to try other foods, but maybe on a cooler day. read more

I still haven't made it to the Hayward location yet but I've ordered their Fan Tuan with pork belly at their pop ups maybe four times now and it is the best! So much filling, so flavorful! I love the pickled vegetables in it too. Also was given a tamale ones because they ran out of Fan Tuan , that tamale was also full of flavor meat and delicious sauce l. I don't think they can go wrong with any dish! Can't wait to try more. read more

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

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

MITK Kitchen - People in line - Taiwanese Near Me - Hayward, California

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

This place is fun and there's a line even when we pull up within the first 15min of opening. Yes you can order ahead but it's through DoorDash only. We waited in line and it was worth it. The most fun thing to try was the hotdog, it was unique to eat and the flavor was so good. The rice burrito is good too. Like you need a plate good bc the rice to content ratio is amazing, so much content but each bite was spilling over bc the rice can't hold it all in. I recommend the milk tea too. I got the jasmine one and it was good with the grass jelly. The next thing we tried was the meat ball in a bun/roll. It was massive and felt more like a soup dumpling but massive. That one did spill over the place. The 3 options we tried (4th with the drink), were good. We went back and bought some more to take home. No nonsense about ordering, it very straight forward and the lady is just as quick to get to the next customer. 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.

Long wait in a weird industrial area with little shade and no seating (in or outdoor), but the best fantuan I've ever had (only had at 2 places). I had the pork belly with purple rice. The pork belly was perfectly tender juicy flavorful - good portion- and the rice was moist and the perfect amount. Menu(s) are all over the place (all over wall) and with seemingly needlessly diverse offering of different kinds of dishes (maybe just offer 15 dishes?) for a tiny place, but all is forgiven with such good fantuan. 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

Heard about this place from TikTok, was excited to finally find somewhere in the East Bay, closer to home that serves fantuan. I bought the original and braised pork belly rice burritos. Both were good and comparable to the ones I've had in Taiwan. Although some pieces of the pork belly were a tad dry. However, will I wait in a long line for this, perhaps not. To note: my total came out to be $25.50 for 3 rice burritos. I wasn't aware that if I pay by Apple Pay, they'd charge tax. So the cashier caught me by surprised when she turned the screen over to me and it said $29.00. That's when I questioned the discrepancy. Im fine with paying tax under that circumstance but that should've been disclosed. Also even with 10.75% tax, I was overcharged read more

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

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.

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
