The atmosphere is like a hole in the wall vibe.. it's small and cozy. You can see them making the rolls up front. I tried the Taiwan roll and this was a nostalgic taste to it for me. It was easy to eat and the insides were packed with flavors. I also tried the dumplings and they were hot and fresh. These had just the right amount of soup inside of it. However, the meat did seem like it was too chunky. Service was a little slow for the dumplings but quick with the rolls.

Came for the egg pancake, but was blown away by the tao roll! Wow! If I had to choose between like a Japanese style rice ball or a Tao roll I'm definition choosing a Tao roll for my choice of rice that's stuffed with stuff inside. There was a lot of different stuffed inside our rice roll and we got the A0 one which was a great recommendation from the cashier. Food came out really quick. They mostly use chair stools, but they also have regular chairs if you prefer in the corner. Overall I would 100% come back to try their other dishes !

This is the most delicious thing I've tasted in a loooong while. And the best part? Free hot water. I dined in and I don't think they had any heating system in place so it was quite cold in there (end of January is when I'm writing this). The rice rolls were straightforward and just generously stuffed with the perfect amount of filling for each roll. I got the sausage egg roll, sweet sesame roll, and tuna mayo roll. When you see "egg" on the menu, that means the roll is filled with a QUAIL egg (omg!) versus the "fried egg" which is what you'd expect with that name. The sausage egg roll had a sweet taiwanese sausage as the main filling. The tuna mayo was just OK, would not get it again, but it was still great. The rice is perfectly cooked and a nice chew, and the pork floss was slighted crunchy and added the BEST sweet, savory texture to the roll. I wish this place was opened for longer hours, but I'm so glad I got to try this place on my day off.

Order at the counter, has some seating available. Place was clean and opens early. The food was good. Tried the double egg pancake and two rice roll, both were solid. First time trying salty soy milk, had fried dough, seaweed and meat. The soy milk was perfectly sweet for my taste.

Under $15 for a full meal? In this economy?? We got the tao rice roll and the egg pancake and it was enough food for 2 people. It's a casual dine in place and we got our food pretty fast. I like the texture of the original rice roll with the crispy outside. Filling was savory and delicious. I preferred the rice roll to the pancake but that's just preference. Parking fills up when it's peak weekend.

I am so happy this spot opened up. Taiwanese breakfast rolls are my jam! The rice is nicely cooked and not dry, the fillings are fat. The doughnut is crispy. They have a lot of options to choose from! Everything is hot and made fresh to order.

Located in the Dun Huang Plaza in Chinatown, Tao Roll and Pancake offers various Taiwanese breakfast/street food items. I tried the signature Tao Roll and the small noodle to go. The Tao Roll is a sticky rice roll filled with pork floss, fried stick, egg, sausage, mushroom meat lettuce and mayonnaise. While the size of rice roll looked not that big compared to a banh mi or a normal sandwich, it's actually pretty filling. The taste is simply the combination of all the fillings which is what you'd expect (personally would cut back or take out the mayonnaise completely). The small noodle was simple and tasted comforting. Overall, I think this is a good grab and go spot to try out if you are in the area, I wouldn't go all the way to Chinatown just for some rice rolls.

I've always seen this place and finally had the chance to go in and I'm so happy I did. I love this place. It was so fast and pretty cheap. I had the Tao and the Taiwan roll and they were so good! There was a good amount of filling and it was so easy to eat. It was super easy to order, but I think they had limited English sometimes.

I decided to stop here on my way to San Antonio from Galveston. Looked up reviews and so decided on here. It's a busy little restaurant but the service was fast and efficient. Not much room to sit, they can seat probably 12 people at the most. So plan on a take out order if you're pressed for time. The food portion is smaller than American restaurant but very filling just enough to get full.

Double Eggs Pancake, sausage egg roll

Ordering is really simple-- there's someone that takes your order and then you have to wait for a bit since there are some people cooking the food immediately as it's ordered. We ordered a double egg pancake and a sausage egg roll. There is so much food for honestly a really great price. Food is really well seasoned and resembles street food in Taiwan.

Tao Rice Rolls
Vian N.

i've seen this place for a while and have always wanted to try it! we tried the original rice roll and original crepe. i liked being able to watch them make it right in front of me. there are a lot of ingredients that go in, but i think by the end of both, i felt like it became a bit one dimensional. i preferred the crepe more due to the more apparently varying textures and chili oil. the pickled vegetables and rice in the roll were both delicious.

Tao Rice Rolls and Taiwan Pancake
Kacee T.

YUMMMM! So rare to find traditional Taiwanese breakfast anywhere and this place did NOT disappoint. Cheap and delicious, you can start your morning off right with a fresh steaming cup of hot soy milk paired with a crunchy buttery Chinese long doughnut Their rice rolls are also amazing. The ratio of sticky rice to filling is perfect - while the descriptions of what's inside might not sound appetizing o the menu, all of them are crafted with the perfect combination of flavors. My favorite is the Taiwan Roll but I've tried and loved the Tao Roll and Traditional roll. The Taiwan pancake is good fresh and unique but after trying it I would rather get another rice roll or the scallion pancakes (thin, flakey, CRISPY - maybe a lil oily BUT delicious)

Came here to pick up a quick meal while studying in the area and was so pleasantly surprised. I got the Taiwan rice roll and it was SO GOOD. The sausage paired so well with the egg yolk and pork floss. I also tried a bite of my friend's eel roll which was so good as well. Service was quick and the place was cute to sit in and grab a quick bite! Will definitely be back!

My husband and I have been eating at Frank's for over 35 years in one location or another. And,…read morethat alone should serve as a testament to how much we love these diner style restaurants! The food is always good, plentiful and efficiently served. The hash-browns and grits are always fresh and cooked perfectly. The homemade rolls are fluffy and delicious and the pancakes are generously sized and thick. And, on the very rare occasion that there has been a mix up on an order, things were rectified quickly and with no hassles. So you should understand that we were devastated by the news that the Frank's location closest to our house was totally destroyed by fire recently. That would be the 1915 Mangum Rd. location. It is my understanding from employees at neighboring businesses that they plan to reopen, at least temporarily, in a vacant building on a lot that is adjacent to the burned building. I have not checked that for any factual accuracy, so take it with a grain of salt, as it were. Meanwhile, we will drive the extra miles to one of the other locations.

Options are limited for breakfast near my work, so I opted for Frank's…read more I have ordered from them in the past and it has been ok. I tried the fish this time and will say the coating was ok, however, it slipped off. I asked for fried hard. I felt the food today was bland and lacked any flavor. I ended up not finishing and just disposed of it. I ordered via door dash so I am unsure of the ambiance.

i said it once, i'm going to say it again;…read more i love high quality simple food! district 7 grill is that! as a california native, diner culture is in my blood!! (and tacos, avocados, strawberries, and wine- lol) i never pass up an opportunity to visit a diner. district 7's inside is very "dreamy" and i can see a lot of editorial potential.

ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!! Let this place die like it's trying to. Unfortunately we were in a pinch…read moreand staying in a hotel nearby so we had limited options. 1) Nobody in the place at 7:00 on a Friday should have been a sign. 2) Waiter never took our drink order. He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

Food: Burger and fries were delicious. 5 Stars…read more Service: I think the owner, himself, was my server. He was very customer-focused. He kind of reminds me of Dolph Lungren. At first, he came across a bit rough. But quickly I noticed that he really goes out of his way to serve his patrons well. 5 Stars Ambiance: Outside seems to be a bit unappealing. Inside is much better. 4 Stars Overall: 5 Stars

This place is in a somewhat empty shopping center, and I am saddened that more people weren't at…read morethis place on a Saturday night. They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.
