I thought this place was okay. The yo tiao was a little too hard. It was also really filling. Overall it was a good eat. There's no seating there as well so you need to find a place to eat somewhere else. You just order on an iPad and they bring it out to you so not too much service. You can also order online too which is a perk.
I loved it! It's a simple concept, you order on a machine and they bring out your rice burrito! No seating. It's in a strip mall with a parking lot. It was so good! We got the purple crunchy one! We had to ask them to cut it in half after the fact. It can be a little messy to eat but so yummy!
I finally got around to trying Fantuan for the first time and it definitely exceeded my expectations! Xiaoman Riceburrito is the perfect place to try out fantuan for the first time because their menu is limited to only fantuan and soy milk, so that's how you know that it's delicious! It's located in a small plaza so parking can be difficult, especially on the weekends. Their store is also small with a self ordering kiosk with no tables or chairs, so it's more of a grab and go spot. The line was long on the weekend with a bit of a wait for our order, but it was well worth it! I ordered the Purple Riceburrito with mild spicy and my bf got the White Riceburrito with mild spicy. It tastes best when it's hot, especially because the chinese donut is still crispy! I do think that the rice to filling ratio could be better and that you could make it spicier because mild spicy does nothing LOL. However, the variation in textures and flavors made this such a delicious meal! The pork floss can make it a little bit drying, so it's good to pair it with one of their soymilks to wash it down! I got the Soymilk Black Tea and I love that they don't put ice in it so that the flavor doesn't get watered down! The Soymilk drink was my favorite part of the meal, especially because it reminds me of the Filipino tofu dessert called Taho! I honestly think that this is a great quick meal on the go so I definitely want to come back!
I've had my fair share of rice burritos in the bay area. I got the purple rice crunchy fan tuan and it definitely was super duper crunchy wasn't really expecting that but I loved it! Overall the rice to filling ratio is good for a fan tuan. I think overall flavor could've been better but I mean for a general staple place I would recommend. Ordering and service was quick! No place to sit and eat but this place is pretty quick to order and take out anyway so all good.
They were alright. There was poor communication. There's barely a shop here. That wouldn't be an issue but their burritos are smaller and more expensive than another place that's basically just a rented kitchen. The crispy burrito is less crisp but that makes it easier to eat if you have a weak mouth.
First time trying fan tuan! I've had Xiaoman in mind for quite some time since it always pops up on my Yelp feed when looking for new food to try in the area. They're located right by 10 Butchers. When we came in about an hour before closing, there was a fat line out the door. They're take-out only so definitely expect to be in and out; our order was ready about 5 minutes after orderin! Their menu / offerings were much smaller than I expected. I got the crunchy purple rice burrito and added pork floss (+$1) - this was super good!! TBH, I didn't quite know what to expect with this but I LOVED what it was stuffed with (especially as someone that looooves youtiao). Everything was super savory, crunchy, and hit the spot. Definitely a solid experience and I'd come back again in the future!
Not very large in size but filling (did these used to be bigger)? It's a pick up place, order online or from the machines there.
Fan Tuan (rice burrito) is a personal favorite of mine and I'm so glad there is yet another establishment specializing in this delicious snack/meal! Xiaoman Riceburrito opens early for the breakfast crew and serves just a few items so you know their offerings are going to be top notch and made fresh. What helps them stand out from the rest of their competitors is their options starting from the type of rice to the inner ingredients, each combination creating a whole different experience for your mouth. When ordering, consider the type of rice. White will have a more glutinous texture and sweeter taste while the purple rice gives off a heartier consistency and more richer flavor. I prefer the purple rice but for the traditionalists, white rice is the way to go. If you're craving for more texture to your bite, get the crunchy version which includes crispy onion, beans, pickled veggies, crispy dough and braised eggs. The original flavor on the flip side, has pork floss so if you're looking for more umami with your fan tuan, you won't be disappointed! The rice exterior is soft and moist and as you get to the center, the flavor simply bursts out steaming through. For the price, they do seem pretty small but accounting for the richness of the flavors, source of the ingredients, and quality of preparation, it does seem rather fair. For hydration, their soy milk and soy milk with black tea are fantastic options. The soy milk isn't too sweet and when paired in a combo with the rice burrito, make a fairly priced meal. We ordered the meal as a takeout and they had everything we needed all packed up and ready to go. Straws for our drinks, napkins for the food, and all the burritos wrapped up tightly and labeled for our whole party to enjoy! A great to-go experience! Overall, Xiaoman Riceburrito will fill you up with a good balance of flavors and textures. For those that are on the go, this is a great place to pick up your meal. You'll get a taste of the traditional Taiwanese snack in one of the food Meccas of the Bay Area!
Finally got to try a spicy and crunchy fan tuan, but it was a lot smaller than I expected. I thought it would be the size of a burrito, but it's about the size of my hand for a bit over $10. I liked the fillings, but wish it had a bit more. The store is really small, no seats and mainly for pick up. I ordered on the kiosk and they quickly brought out my order within 5 min.
Expensive compared to Asia but they do it well here so I guess it's worth it. However, I would not get their soy milk. It's like $5-6 and super watery and mediocre
Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 I didn't realize it doesn't have seating, but otherwise a cute spot with quick and easy ordering and pickup. There wasn't any staff upfront since you can just order on the ipad, but if you are picking up you ring a bell on the counter and staff comes out immediately. Food was decent -- it got a little messy and I don't love that it was wrapped in plastic wrap, but flavors were decent. We couldn't tell the difference between the crunchy and the non-crunchy purple rice burrito, my crunchy burrito had soft purple rice and a crunchy thing inside, maybe an overfried 油条 (dough stick)？but the non-crunchy wrap had a similar crunch inside. It was hard to tell on the menu if when you select add pork floss, it adds extra pork floss to the original amount or if without adding pork floss, it would have zero pork floss. I liked the pork floss, but my partner found it a bit dry and overwhelming (in terms of overwhelming other flavors and textures). A bit pricey for what it is but overall a nice place to grab a quick bite!
If you want traditional Taiwanese breakfast rice ball, this is the place! The rice ball reminded me of Taiwan, it was very crunchy and tasty. It had marinated egg, Taiwanese pickles, Youtiao, and nori crispy bits inside. One complaint is that the portion is kind of small for its price, but glad I found this place. Will probably return
Got the crunchy rice roll with purple rice. It was delicious. Comes with egg fried dough, Taiwanese vegetables, and I added pork floss. Definitely on the pricey end for breakfast, but it's SF pricing so maybe that is the norm. Very classic Taiwanese breakfast food. Service fast casual takeout Ambience take out orders
This is my first ever fan tuan experience and I'm hooked. My only complaint is their limited hours. I really enjoy their crispy rice burrito and getting their soy milk. Please give this place a try! Service: 5/5 Parking: There's plaza parking read more

This is a new spot in Sunnyvale, and a couple of us came here for lunch. They're still getting everything up and running, so the place isn't fully staffed yet. There wasn't anyone at the front counter when we arrived, but the ordering process was pretty simple -- you choose your own rice burrito and then wait for your order to be called. We tried the Purple Rice Crunchy rice burritos and really enjoyed them! The purple rice was soft, the filling was flavorful, and the crunchy texture was such a good combination. Everything tasted fresh, and the soy milk drinks were really good too. The portions were filling without feeling too heavy. Overall, a cute new spot with something a little different. They're still getting settled, but we enjoyed our lunch and would definitely come back! read more
This place was super hyped, so I was excited to have a nice catch and breakfast rice burrito with my friend, over a walk! The service was quick and efficient. The wait was not too bad but we had line luck and a line was forming when we left. I got the purple crunchy rice burrito with egg. * The burrito was okay, at best! Rather oily. * The rice was mushy. There was nothing standout about this rice burrito, wouldn't come back. read more

Been craving 饭团since coming back from Taipei. This definitely satisfied the craving! The tea egg wasn't dry and the 油条 was extra crispy. 豆浆was also not too sweet. All of this combo was 15 dollars which was a great deal! Though understandably the burrito was a little small. The place was takeout only been got the food really quickly. read more

Filling, delicous breakfast on the go. Purple rice, pork, saurkraut, other goodness wrapped up in a portable little flavor bomb. Note that these are smaller than "mexican" burritos - about the size of my hand. But still very filling! The soy milk tea is also different than what you can usually order at boba places but it's the perfect drink to wash down the burrito with. Logistics: - no seating indoor or outdoor, takeout only - limited street parking in front read more
These little man rice burrito fantuans sure are tasty! We stopped by here for a Sunday lunch and it was quite busy. It's a small grab and go place with no tables or seats inside for dine-in, so we took our rice burrito to a nearby park to enjoy. We got the Crunchy Purple Rice Burrito. The first thing you'll notice is that it's quite small -- it barely measures as a 6-incher in length! Yes it's quite GIRTHY but $10 for that length was a bit disappointing. The first bite bust a symphony of savory Szechuan seasoning, crispy fried Chinese dough, and crunchy pickled veggies in my mouth! Unlike other fantuans I've tried this is definitely a more flavorful and well-seasoned one. The purple rice exterior is sturdy and keeps everything together neatly. Parking wasn't difficult with a spacious parking lot in the plaza. Would come back the next time I'm craving more fantuan! read more
Xiaoman definitely fills a void in the Bay Area for Taiwanese breakfast options. I really appreciate that they have a veggie option as well! Hopefully they can open a spot in SF ;). We ordered the purple rice crunchy burrito combo. Fillings included were: crispy onion, nori crispy bean, sauerkraut, pickled radish, youtiao, and a braised egg. You also get a cup of soymilk as part of the combo. The rice to filling ratio was a bit off; there was just a bit too much rice and I thought the youtiao was over-fried. I know they want it to be super crunchy, but I actually think it would taste a bit better with some gluten left in it. Also could've used more pickled veggies. The braised egg was a nice touch. Service was quick and it's takeout only, so you'll have to eat in your car or bring it somewhere else. Overall, it's an ok fantuan and I'd come back just to support more Taiwanese businesses (especially ones with veggie options!). read more

It was pretty cool seeing a fantuan spot in the Bay Area! I haven't had one of these since traveling in Asia. I got the crunchy purple-riceburrito ($8.99) and really enjoyed the variety of textures and flavors. Price is a bit steep for what it is. This fantuan included purple rice, nori crispy bean, pickled veggies, youtiao, braised egg, and crispy onion. I chose to add "mild spicy" which consisted of a spicy chili mix (chili, white sesame, peanut, sichuan peppercorn). The spice was barely noticeable but it was still nice to have a hint of it. I ordered online ahead of time and picked it up. Order was ready very quickly. The store does not have any seating. Ordering is done on a kiosk and staff from the back will assemble the fantuan and bring it out to you. read more

I ordered the original rice burrito and it was sooooo yummy! They're about $8/ea and pretty filling for a snack. It's savory and umami! So many different textures as well. There's a small lot, so be prepared for parking wars. When you enter the store, there isn't any seating available. You orders at a kiosk, and the service is quite fast. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area :) read more

When I am in the area, this is definitely one of my favorite to go spots! I am a fan of their rice burritos -- it is a perfect blend and combo of rice, meat floss, preserved veggies and egg. Delicious and tasty! The staff is friendly and the wait time can be long. Be prepared to wait. I would recommend ordering in advance if you want to avoid a long wait time. Glad to have found this place -- what a gem! The wait times can be long but worth the wait! read more
Take-out only, no seating available. Ordered the original white rice burrito + soy milk combo. I accidentally ordered the soy milk black tea, and they were super kind to switch it out for the regular soy milk for me. I was pretty impressed with my original rice burrito! I loved how the you tiao (deep fried breadstick) was crispy, as sometimes it can be chewy and hard to bite off in rice burritos. That was definitely my favorite part. The soy milk was ok, on the bland side and needed more flavor in my opinion. I also felt like prices were a bit steep and the rice burrito was pretty small for the price. I would come back again if I have the craving since I feel like there aren't many Taiwanese rice burrito places in the bay. read more

I love it here. If I could eat the fan tuans here every day I would. I have been ordering delivery often while working from home. My go-to order is the purple crunchy rice burrito with soy milk. It's nutritious, filling and healthy. It stimulates digestion because of the fresh ingredients and pickles from Taiwan. I have been to Taiwan twice and it is food heaven there. Xiaoman provides meals that are authentically Taiwanese. They remind me of the breakfast you can find walking down the street along Taiwan-- fresh soy milk everywhere. Xiaoman is one of the few places with authentic Taiwanese food in the Bay Area. It's hard to find good ones. The price point is not bad for the Bay Area. I believe they try to keep prices low and give a lot within the fan tuan itself. The shop itself is very clean and you can also order in person. Service is pretty quick and they are often busy here. I get delivery quite often here! read more

It's my first time having it. Flavors were good but didn't appreciate the super hard chinese donut inside. Sorta took away from the pleasantness. I was expecting a crispy, airy donut with a slight chew. But what do I know, it's my first time eating it. read more
