i'm always coming here for food. It has the best home-cooked Cantonese food in the inland empire. (Hong Kong style.) I'm a little selfish in saying this, but I'm thankful that it's not as busy because Service is probably faster because of it I could see how this might get not so good reviews because the service. But if you understand Cantonese culture, you'll understand. That's just the normal rude which they're not rude. It's just the culture. The environment is not the cleanest and is also probably why it doesn't give the best stars. But if you get past all of that, best comfort Cantonese food in town without going to Monterey Park or Chinatown. Also, the best Chinese tamales if you grew up eating them at home read more

I'd rate this place a 0 star if Yelp would allow it. Complete ghost town when we walked in on a Friday night at 5 pm... and with it being a ghost town the place was FILTHY. Was brought two sticky menus.. gross. Then server came and brought hot tea in a small tea pot that seemed to have never been cleaned. While she did this she was on speaker on a phone call? What the?? Food came out... greasy, flavorless and a waste of money. Server never came back until we went to counter where she printed our bill. Receipt prices did not match menu prices and she said "that's old menu price went up" okay then say that when you hand them to us OR update your menus? So when I complained she corrected and tossed the receipt at me... RUDE service. Never going back, and telling anyone I know to not waste your money here. read more

They're really fast. If you are in a hurry and need food fast then this is the place. They have a lot of selections to choose from. Crispy chow mein is good. Fried fish as well. We only do to go. read more

Always good food and fast service. Needs improvement with ambiance and service. Maybe more friendliness

Been to this place many times through the years. It's a place that you can get your Chinese food fix. The serving size is pretty decent and good for sharing. Big selection of entrees. The congee, noodles, rice plates, and clay rice outs are always good choices. Place needs a little updating but good value read more

A year later and we're back for Chinese New year lunch this time. The service was much better this time. There's only one lady. She is always there. She is not the nicest or the friendliest. She was more accommodating to our party of 14 than she was last year. When we asked for something she brought it. One thing, she can only split the check 2 ways. Oh well. The food this time was better. The serving sizes were big and the prices were reasonable. Hence the 4 star. My favorite dish was the fish porridge. I also liked the fish in black bean sauce. The XO beef was always a favorite of mine. I would skip the Kung pao chicken. read more

Picked up authentic Cantonese food. I used to go to this restaurant a lot when I lived in Rancho Cucamonga. I had time this weekend so we ordered takeout. The beef pan fried noodles was absolutely delicious and had generous servings of tender beef, mushrooms and fresh vegetables. The sweet and sour pork hit the spot with the delectable green peppers, onions and bits of pineapple. The batter to meat ratio was just right to absorb the sauce. The corn soup with chicken was perfect for a cool and breezy day. Let's not forget the yang chow fried rice - only one word to describe it - perfect. Thank you for keeping your prices affordable while maintaining the authenticity and quality of the food. We called in our order and picked it up after 30 minutes with everything packaged so nothing gets spilled during transport. Thank you Tai Pan!!! read more

Celebrated my mom's birthday a few weeks ago and her one request was Hong Kong Style crispy noodles. Tai Pan House was one of the only places that distinctly came up on the Yelp search with this style of noodles, so we took a chance and ordered our dinner from here for take out. They did not disappoint. The food was good, especially the crispy noodles, and the service was friendly. They made a strong first impression. Tai Pan House is located in a small shopping center off of Archibald Avenue. The restaurant occupies its own building within the center but shares plenty of free parking with the other businesses. As noted above, we ordered our food for takeout. We called the order in and the time they estimated for pickup was reasonable and accurate. Our food was ready upon our arrival. Although we took the order to go, the food remained warm despite the drive home. Our order consisted of - Chinese Pancake with Scallion - Orange Chicken - Honey Walnut Shrimp - House Special Hong Kong Style Chow Mein - Shrimp Fried Rice Although we ordered takeout, the portions for the dishes were very generous. The price point for the meal was also very reasonable. Our favorite items were the Honey Walnut Shrimp and Hong Kong Style Chow Mein. Both were tasty and very fresh. The Chinese Pancake with Scallion was good, but very greasy. We would steer clear of this item in the future. The Orange Chicken was plentiful, but several pieces tasted like they have been prepared from earlier in the day. Overall, we did enjoy our meal from Tai Pan House and would visit them again if we were in the area or if we had a craving for their Hong Kong Style Noodles. Definitely, a solid option for authentic Chinese food in the area. read more

Are you kidding me? I was CRAVING some Chow Fun and ordered it with beef. I don't know if the woman who took my order was confused but it should be pretty cut and dry of what basic Beef Chow Fun is. She told me the extra container is what you pour over the noodle. I was like...what? Usually you don't have a separate container to mix in the noodles. I thought it was some new thing they had going, but I was tired and just wanted to get home. So anyway I get home and I open it up to find PLAIN noodles with NO BEEF, and no seasoning! Then there is a container of Egg Flower Soup with Shrimp. The person I wanted to share it with has a seafood allergy! What a fail! I feel like they just slapped something together and brought it out because they didn't know what beef chow fun meant. It's literally on the menu. How do they not know what's on their own menu? Unless I just got someone else's order, but she told me that I poured what's in the container over the noodles so it had to have been mine. I spent $18 on this and I feel completely cheated. Look at the photos I took of it. She wanted me to pour egg flower soup over plain noodles and said that this is the chow fun? read more

I love the food variety there - it's authentic Chinese cuisine, mouthwateringly tasty and delicious. But keep your guard up; those clumsy cooks can screw up and leave bits of steel cleaning pads in your meal. It's not on purpose, but damn, watch what you're shoving down your throat. read more

Everything is always delicious and the owners are so kind. It's quick too! When we call, pick up usually 10~15 mins. Our favourite is the seafood crispy noodles and the beef chow fun. It's nice at the restaurant but we usually get to gos because of the speed and convenience. Will always come back whenever we crave Chinese food. 10/10. read more

I ordered the frog legs and shrimp fired rice. I've eaten frog legs all over the country, and these were by far the biggest and most flavored Ive had to date. Highly recommend this place if you looking for them. They were a little pricey compared to the other places I've went to but the size of the dish explains the price. Customer service could use some improvements. I waited at the front for my order to be taken for about 5 mins before even being acknowledged, but I will give them the benefit of doubt that they were busy. read more

I really wanted to love this place because I have lived in the area for almost 3 years now and have been DYING to find my go-to Chinese place with hong kong style noodles. The food was just okay for me. Nothing to write home about unfortunately. I picked up our food to go, and it was still piping hot when I got back home. But everything seemed to be lacking something, i couldn't put my finger on it. When i got there, there were only two tables of people. Luckily the food was ready when i got there. The gentleman was nice that helped me. read more

I love this place! I usually do take out, usually my go to. The lady at the counter is the sweetest I absolutely love the speedy great customer service she gives. She's quick with the order no hassle, especially for us that are busy and have no time for chit chat! Best authentic Cantonese food in the area, the mapo tofu, chow fun, and Chinese sausage fried rice is what I usually order but everything I've tried is good. read more

Food was average Chinese cuisine. The green beans with beef XO sauce was my favorite. The lo mein noodle was bland and pig's feet were tough to bite. Not pressurized enough. The fried deep soul was ok. Been coming here for awhile but today was ok. Service was always excellent. Fast and gives all we need. Ambiance quiet airy and spacious . read more

All I wanted was some congee and real Chinese comfort food without having to drive to SGV. I've tried all of the highly rated Chinese restaurants in Rancho and Tai Pan is the only one that comes close to serving actual Cantonese food. Compared to restaurants in SGV, this place would be considered average at best. But compared to the Chinese options in Rancho, Tai Pan is 10/10. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could the service was terrible there was only two groups of people there food had no flavor took 20 mint for are waiter to even talk to us gave us are bill as soon as we got are food would not recommend to anyone ever if I didn't like you I wouldn't send you there. read more

Unfortunately, this place has been a victim of the economy and poor management, when this place first opened, it was full of potential, it had several servers, good food was quick to come out and the place was clean, but with slower-than-expected business, they had resorted to having only 1 person running the whole front and probably 1 or 2 people at the back kitchen, I don't think they turn on the Air Conditioning anymore. It's a cycle, not being able to afford help results in not as good service and the rating went down, which in turn made business worse, the food, as far as I know, is still good, but with 1 person running the show, it's hard not to be worn down, they're pretty much on a "survival mode" as some say, just creating a job for themselves, I highly doubt it's a profitable business at this point read more

I only come here for the food. The one person there makes it very difficult for me to want to come back. My suggestion is to buy to go only, or eat there and be treated rudely. read more

I really hope to love this one, as I'm looking for a restaurant with Cantonese dishes around this area. However, they food is just ok. They have so many various dishes on the menu, but the quality is not that good. I tried the No158 Beef dry noodles. The beef is so hard to chew, not tender at all. The noodles itself is bitter, not smooth. I cannot even finish this dish. Xiao long nap is also disappointed, I don't think it's even fully cooked, I don't like the taste. The service was also so-so. The waitress is very cold, with a poker face. Dishes came fast though. I think the reason why this restaurant is still open is due to their competitive prices, but why they are not popular is because of their food quality. read more

This place is a host town and the food is less than expected. Lady had attitude not very friendly and worst, she was clipping her nails as I was eating. I could not see if it was her finger nails or her toenails ! You can imaging how disgusted I was. And her clothes is dirty and she kept touch her iPhone as she was bringing my food out. Also, where's the pork?? Ordered spicy pork- got flakes of pork. Not happy with service and food. Place is dirty and looks like it's never been cleaned. read more

There are not a lot of Asian restaurants like this in the area. You normally have to go SGV for food like this. I've gone several times and each time the food is good.

This is one of my favorite places for Cantonese comfort food in the area. I was surprised to find it here. For some reason, service at places with good Chinese food is always hit or miss, but I haven't really had any bad experiences yet here. I will say, I mostly come here for take out and have not dined here, so I am speaking more for the food. I usually call in to order my food, and it usually takes about 15-20 minutes for them to be ready. Everything I have ordered so far has been pretty similar to the kind of food I get if I were to go to SGV and always hit the spot when I am craving some good comfort food. I have ordered their honey walnut shrimp, salt and pepper pork ribs, braised tofu, braised eggplant, clay pot rice, beef broccoli, chicken chow mein (with crispy noodles). All were good! Overall, good portions and comfort food! read more

Great Cantonese food! Our party of 6 devoured the food and loved all of it We had the hot and sour soup, made perfectly with plenty of fungus, tofu, mushrooms, and pork. We also had the crispy pan fried noodles and ordered one seafood and one beef with vegetables. The most delicious noodles! We also had the beef over rice plate with gravy and vegetables, just like grandma made. Pigs feet were tender and perfectly cooked. Delicious! Everyone raved about the Walnut shrimp in mayonnaise sauce, also available in honey walnut sauce. You must try this restaurant! It's family owned, we have always had great and friendly service, and the food is delicious and authentic, read more

Mouth-watering Cantonese Chinese food! Not sure why the ratings aren't higher for this restaurant, this is why I feel like you can't always trust Yelp. This place is truly a hidden gem, food is DELICIOUS and AUTHENTIC, and the chef and servers are nice and attentive. They have an extensive selection of different dishes. We ordered the #27 (assorted preserved meat clay-pot rice), #101 (clams w/ bay leave sauce), and deep fried sole. I can't wait to come back and try their other dishes! read more

I wanted to find a place with porridge and found this place on Yelp that was on the way doing errands. I ordered the Sauteed String Beans, French Style Filet Mignon, and Salted Shredded Pork w/ 1000 years egg Porridge. The string beans was really good even though it has a spicy kick to it. It wasn't too spicy where I couldn't eat it. The filet mignon wasn't as good because it seem like it was cooked medium rare that made the meat chewy. The meat was hard for me to chew and enjoy it. I wouldn't order that again. The porridge was a good amount and it was tasty. The staff were friendly and plenty of parking spaces. They have quite a lot of choices on the menu and I would like to try other dishes when I come back. read more

Came here as we really craving Pork Chop, looking at some comments on Yelp to be honest made me debating with myself whether to still try this or not. And here I am giving a comment, means that I decided to give a try. Restaurant was quite, only us the party that came in. There was elder lady (assume she is part of the restaurant staff) that sat down on one of table and lady cashier who we found 'threw' the menu on the table, her attitude is really far from hospitable. We ordered Spicy Pork Chop which disappointed, it was oily and not crunchy - not what I expected considering I have been tasting this menu at other restaurants. The Seafood w/ Tofu, I admit is quite tasty to my opinion. As for the drink, you will be served Chinese Tea as complimentary. People tend to do take away, wandered already what was the reason. Do I recommend this place? As long as this restaurant's service remain like what I and others experienced, I don't think I will recommend. read more

This is my to go place. Been here since I moved to the neighborhood. Great food. Their calamari, Cantonese fried beef noodle are must try.

Don't let the boxes by the door turn you off. If you're looking for a fine dining experience, this isn't the place for you. But if you're looking for good food, then stay for the food. Looks can be deceiving.. The place is not as grand as anyone wanted it to be, the lady manning the front and taking orders might come off as rude, but that could be how she is. But don't let that turn you off. When it comes to food, my favorite is the West Lake Beef soup, shrimp in scrambled eggs and the crispy noodles. I tried the fried rice with scallop and eggs. I have tried that somewhere else but this will do in a pinch plus it's much more affordable. The portion size is not too shabby, you may have plenty to bring it home. We're regular patrons so this is one of our favorite places to go to. read more
