Quality/Quantity - Bag of 50 Pork and Shrimp Dumplings $24 - I added this to my Indo ramen that I bought from KP Market in Oakland/Berkeley. Bag of 50 Pork Dumplings $20 - Will update if it is not as good as the pork and shrimp dumplings. Very simple menu done well. Everything is frozen. Atmosphere - Small neighborhood business, in the middle of a residential area, see my Volcano Island review. Take away only. Plenty of parking, just like our last visit. Open 6 days a week from 9am to 6pm and until 4pm on Saturday; closed Sundays. Service - Good. Saw me outside taking my Yelp pictures and unlocked the door to let me in. Patiently waited as I tried to call my daughter to see what she wanted or not?!?! No answer, so I just picked. A suggestion would be to also have cooking instructions on your packages. Price - $44, cash or zelle. No credit cards. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success for the last 30 years. I am sorry it has taken me this long to discover you. They are an example of a success story. A small humble business that makes great food for reasonable prices. We will be regular customers now. I was going to suggest updating your name to Lai Young Dumping House, or Lai Young Frozen Foods, etc. But with all your success, you do NOT need any advice from me.

It was a bit unorganized and people walking around but not sure where to seat us. We finally got seated and had to wait a while and waved down people a few times to get out orders in. It is okay, I am here for the good, not the service after all. Right? I was disappointed. The oyster pancake was extremely fishy. The rice cake (well not really a cake but inverted sticky rice cup) was cold and where is the pork floss? The chicken rolls were decent, the best dish. I didn't try the fried intestines but was told there were okay. The stinky tofu not really stinky. I think it is because we are in the US and many restaurants stopped selling this due to complaints. I can take that but the dipping sauce was lacking with no garlic flavor. The other items were nothing to write home about. We were waiting for our stir fried seafood noodles and finally waved down someone only to find out it is out, but no one told us. So we ordered pork chop bento as we saw the next table had one and the portion was amazing. Well, someone must have eaten our order in the kitchen as ours was half of the size as what we saw from the other table. The decor was very simple and as with most Asian restaurant it was noisy. But I was there for the food so no problem. But the food didn't deliver.

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!

You can also order some select items as well off the menu, but what's already out there is perfect serviceable on its own.

I wanted to showcase my Taiwanese heritage for the dinner and was excited that Mama Lee's was available to cater. It was hard to decide from the variety of their catering menu because so much of it reminded me of my childhood favorites. I ordered the following, and of course it was way too much, but folks were excited to take home leftovers: - Popcorn Chicken - Pork chop egg fried rice - Chicken cutlet egg fried rice - Qua Bao - Veggie Chow Mein - Crispy Fried Tofu Sticks (with garlic dipping sauce and pickled cabbage) - Seasonal Veggie & Mushroom The popcorn chicken, egg fried rice, and veggie chow mein was the kids' favorites, along with the winter melon lemon tea, which David and Marysa threw in for being their first customer in Pleasant Hill. The adults enjoyed everything that was offered, and were excited to try many new dishes for the first time. Overall, the flavors were reminiscent of my memories of eating in Taiwan, and that was a huge plus! Communication was easy, and the day of the event, they sent pics of the food. Not only did they include delivery over $350, the food was brought in piping hot & they helped set up the food. I am excited to work with David and Marysa again for next year's dinner, and I would highly recommend Mama Lee's catering for your next event!!

Tastes very close to traditional Hawaiian mac salad but not as heavy. My husband gets the BBQ beef plate which is also pretty good. Popcorn chicken is alright, think I'd pass next time as there isn't too much meat and doesn't taste like Taiwanese style which I usually prefer. There's plenty of tables inside and you order via your phone from a QR code. Service is usually fast and quick. Overall nice spot with good food and large menu.

We started with the One Piece Mixed Salad (tofu skin, vermicelli noodles, woodear mushrooms, carrots, celery, seaweed, and peanuts, all mixed in a savory, acidic, and spicy dressed ) and the Shredded Potato Salad, both of which made for nice appetizers. We also had the Cold Skin Noodles (Liangpi), a bowl of wide, chewy noodles mixed with a savory sauce and topped with tofu puffs, shredded cucumber , bean sprouts, and a creamy sesame sauce. Hailing from Xi'an, the Braised Pork Pita Burger was fatty pieces of pork braised in a savory sauce, served in a dry round of "pita," but even better was the Spicy Cumin Lamb Pita Burger, which contained a tantalizingly spicy, flavorful filling of tender spiced lamb. The Signature Beef Bone Noodle Soup came with noodles in a simple broth, topped with three bone-in beef ribs. The meat on the ribs was rather tough and sinewy, and the soup on the bland side, but the presentation of the dish was definitely impressive. Finally, the House Special Braised Dry Noodle was a bowl of noodles topped with a savory sauce with lots of different dried ingredients including tofu, s mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and red bell peppers. For each noodle dish, you could select from a variety of noodles, but my favorite by far was the 2cm "General Wide" noodles, which had an amazing chewy texture. Overall, this was a great restaurant for authentic Northern Chinese noodle dishes and other eats. Everything came out from the kitchen in just minutes after we ordered. The tasty dishes came at a good value, and the service was super friendly too!

The pig ears were piled up with no fillers - something hard to find these days. You can select the type of noodles so I picked the widest while my husband picked the middle one. I love the el dente texture of the noodles giving it a bit of chew. My braised pork belly dry noodles was not dry... very watery which was not to my liking. I want my dry noodles with as little gravy as possible. The flavor was light despite all the gravy, but the veggies and one egg made it up. The house special dry noodles had just the right amount of gravy for taste but not enough ingredients. I was wondering why the restaurant is called One Piece... I guess the entire bowl of noodles is one piece noodle as it was hard to eat as all the noodles are tangled. No complaints here just need to be careful with the splashes on your shirt.
