Came back twice during my stay here for the IoT Convention. I haven't had authentic fan tuan in awhile so this place satisfied a craving. They come in 2 different rice choices (white or purple) and original or crispy. I got crispy both times. The inside is stuffed with marinated egg, pickled vegetables, fried crueller, and other items. They also serve fresh soy milk. You can order on their website or go in and use the touchpad terminal to place your order. After a few minutes, a store employee comes out to hand you your food. It's not quite like original fan tuan but it'll do. Breakfast was delicious. Would come back. read more

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! read more

TL;DR: Definitely delicious fan tuan, but dang if the price doesn't sting a little bit. Sometimes it's worth it though. Food: They know how to assemble a good fan tuan--chewy sticky rice, delicious fillings, and crispy youtiao make for a really pleasant breakfast experience. I also like their black tea with soy milk--well-balanced and not too sweet. Service: Food is ordered at a digital kiosk and the staff bring it out when it's ready; interactions have been cordial, so no complaints here. Ambiance: Not quite applicable because there's no interior or exterior seating, but the storefront is well-decorated and clean. Overall I'll probably be a returning customer, but not a super frequent one. They know how to execute well, but fan tuan being kind of a street food makes the relatively steep price sting a bit. But I guess if you live in the Silicon Valley and not in Taiwan then it's what you've got to work with. read more

I really love fantuan, basically rice balls usually made with glutinous rice so it's more filling, more chewy, and stick together better. There are regional versions, of course, but Xiaoman's decidedly Taiwanese, with salty preserved daikon, crunchy youtiao (Chinese donuts), umami-filled Taiwanese sauerkraut filling the insides. You can also get it without the crunch, but to me that's the entire point. The rice is done well. Each grain sticks together but aren't mushy. It's actually quite hard to pull off -- soaking the different kinds of rice, cooking it with the right ratio of water, cooling it slightly to let off some steam. Beyond that, the rice burrito is on the small side (they usually come gigantic in Taiwan), and I'd say it tastes pretty good but didn't evoke memories of the rice balls I've had. I was looking for something more savory, more substantial... and maybe of a slightly different style. Overall, I'm so glad we now have this in the Bay Area. It's something I might get if I'm in the area -- but it's not so good that I'll travel for it. read more

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! read more

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 read more

Xiaoman Riceburrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Tried the Taiwanese breakfast rice burritos at Xiaoman Rice Burrito in Sunnyvale and completely understand why people line up for these. The purple rice burrito looked simple at first, but every bite had something different going on, soft chewy rice, crispy youtiao, pickled crunch, comforting, and ridiculously satisfying all at once.This is not your aesthetic brunch spot with overpriced avocado toast. It's tiny, busy, no-frills, and people are clearly here because the food speaks for itself. Hearty without feeling too heavy and flavorful without trying too hard. Definitely one of those unpretentious food experiences that stays in your mind after. read more

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! read more

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 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.

Xiaoman Riceburrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

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

The rice rolls were really tasty! I live in San Mateo so I don't think I would drive down just for them as it's a bit far for me.

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

A store dedicated to four items on a menu? Yes and it is that good. I remember when this place didn't have storefront and I was running in and out for pick up because there was no place to park in the little room they rented at a strip mall. The ingredients speak for themselves and they actually list them on the menu! It feels like my childhood lunch bag and that's a good thing. Minus one star because it has gotten a bit pricier lately. 2 people with drink for 30$ which doesn't sound bad but the rice burrito itself was small. I'd say about the size of my fist (I am a medium/small old Asian lady) which even though tasty af, leaves me hungry 2hrs read more

Forever my favorite rice burrito spot! Years later and it's good! Small shared parking lot available When I got there, it was busy (a lot of people picking up). There was a kiosk to order. Very simple as they didn't have much options. I got the crunch purple rice burrito. It's so simple but sooo tasty with great flavors and textures. It's sweet, savory, crunchy, and soft. It's small but super filling. Can be a little messy when eating it though. IMO it's still better than a lot of places I tired. And they are efficient. Definitely my go to rice burrito spot. read more

My apologies Xiaoman Riceburrito, I was clearly not familiar with your game. I assumed too much from the name that it would be some sort of bizarre hybrid sushirrito spot, but I understand now. You're valid. My friend suggested Doordashing this spot while giving us a house tour of her new place, so my boyfriend and I ordered their original purple rice fantuan and I got soy milk with it- so so good! I've heard from my Taiwanese friends that this place is legit. The soy milk is also really nostalgic and not too sweet. It is a tad expensive, but incredibly filling and easy to pack up and save for the next day if you're looking to buy an extra or can't finish an entire fantuan at once for your meal. read more

I always get the crunchy roll with purple rice, alongside soymilk. For $8-9, I do wish the size of the burrito to be much bigger; nonetheless, it was tasty.

4 stars. Very yummy 飯糰, but I think it's quite pricey for the amount you get. It's around $8 for the 飯糰 and $6 for the 豆漿. The portion is on the smaller side and this'll be considered a pretty light breakfast. The food itself is flavorful and well balanced. The filling to rice ratio is good. I really like how you can choose to make it spicy. It's a little less traditional than the classic Taiwanese 飯糰，but overall it's a great option for a quick breakfast. read more

Located inside the Camino Oaks Plaza (where 10 Butchers is located), there is a small parking lot. Xiaoman Rice Burrito is only open for brunch, as it's a Taiwanese breakfast. This is more of a grab & go spot and there is no seating. The menu is limited and the burritos are small - probably half the size of a regular (mexican) burrito but can be filling because it's all rice. I got an Original White Rice burrito and Purple Rice Crunchy burrito to go as it was my first time trying. Both were really good! They also offer combo meals with soymilk. The original and crunchy have slight differences. You also have the option to add more floss or spice (a little kick!). Original: Pork floss, sauerkraut, pickled radish, shortbread fritter, braised egg Crunchy: crispy onion, nori crispy bean, sauerkraut, pickled radish, shortbread fritter, braised egg read more

There are two staffs working in the back, you order through the kiosks, and one people hiding behind the back will make your foods as soon as possible. This place is like a ghost kitchen, many people order through online, and pick up the Taiwanese rice burrito (飯糰） when they arrive. If you arrive to the kiosks and order your foods, you won't hear any sound. You click and pay, and the people behind the back (you can't see him/her/others) start making the rick burrito (飯團） very quick, without you notice. You will receive your breakfast very quickly. The taste of the rice burrito were fine, make sure to order their organic soy milk. You should give a try. Let me know if you like it or not. read more

The store has improved greatly since its move from south Sunnyvale. Spacious and clean, easy to order from the kiosk!

It's take out only and each item is tightly wrapped. read more

I was really craving a fan tuan and I never knew how hard it would be to get one. There's only two places in a 30 mile radius and I needed it so I made the trek over. A minimalistic storefront but somehow everyone knew to order ahead of time... like they knew something I didn't know. So many people coming with their phones having pre ordered it. Even still the wait wasn't too bad, ordered at a kiosk and a person was calling out numbers and handing out bags and drinks. The fan tuan was soo good, the crunch on the donut was insane. I liked the addition of crispy onions in it. The soy milk wasn't my favorite, a little bland and watery for me. But will be back for the purple crispy rice roll. Yum read more

this place is actually... really good? there's a reason why there's a constant in and out of this place despite being in a weird location and not offering any seating. if you're familiar with the rice burrito game, it's nothing new - tasty fillings wrapped in white/purple rice, but the speed and execution of their riceburritos have people coming back for more. despite being 90% starch (including the fried donut) the burritos don't feel heavy, don't taste greasy, and weirdly enough, provides a filling... breakfast? I actually *am* new to this particular food but honestly everything I've seen has been absolutely delicious, or maybe I've just had the blessing of only finding good places. In addition to their rice burritos, they also serve soy milk which, with a little sweetness, is the perfect pairing. overall, I'll be back when I have the craving. read more

These burritos are delicious and addicting! You order on a kiosk and never see anyone so can't rate that. Space feels business only.

Located in Sunnyvale near the community center, parking is plenty but very difficult to find. Ordering is done through a tablet. The menu is pretty small with really only 2 entrees (original and crispy. You can pick between either white or purple rice). There's no seating indoors and is limited outdoors. Original white (4/5): quite small but so yummy. The deep fried bread sticks were super crispy. There was a good balance of the ingredients and neither overpowered the other. Size was a bit small though. Nonetheless the rice burrito was wrapped well and the rice was good. Tap to pay is accepted. Overall, Xiaoman Riceburrito is a good place. The rice burritos are quite yummy but fairly small which makes it a great snack. read more

Xiaoman Riceburrito - Original white rice - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Highly recommend ordering online first! With online ordering, you choose a pick up time (every 30 minutes), but it seems like you can pick up at the time specified or after. Pickup is quick. There is no seating so we usually eat it in the car while the fan tuan is still warm. My favorite is the soymilk and original white sticky rice. If you like different textures in your food, fan tuan is worth a try! The crispiness of the Chinese donut (you tiao) with the slightly chewy sticky rice, the softness of the pork floss and marinated boiled egg, combined with the crunch of the sweet pickled veggies is perfect! They also sell black tea soy milk (also pictured). read more

A bit on the pricey side for what I hope for a rice burrito, but they do somewhat make up for it by offering a bit more of a difference from the norm. Purple rice is not something I've seen used before, and I do like the fillings they include. For me, nothing beats the original savory rice burrito with its simple fillings, but I respect that this store innovates without taking away from the original taste of the savory rice burrito. read more

Ok. I really wanted to like this place and was super excited that I remembered it while I was in Sunnyvale. I'm Taiwanese and I know about fan tuan. I also know given the easy access to certain ingredients in this "rice burrito", I have to cut it some slack when I eat it in the U.S. I've tried the other fan tuan place in RWC too. Ok, let's talk about Sunnyvale- okay, first of all, this fan tuan is $8.99 before tax! Look how small it is!!! I have to say, there were plenty of filling so I'm wondering why the owner doesn't add more rice to balance it out and also make it a real burrito size! Okay, true, in Taiwan, they are not that big but we're in the U.S. so we need our money's worth! Lol. Ok, taste was good, rice was nice and chewy. Add more to balance it out bc it got a little salty after 3 bites. Another reason for the 2 stars is the packaging. It's wrapped in Saran Wrap and the stickers made me THINK I should rip open from middle and then I can use the yellow paper to re-configure. But NOOOOOO, don't do that bc the yellow paper literally sticks to the rice! (Remember I didn't have that much rice to begin with???) yeah, I did try to scrape my teeth to salvage what I could. Was a mess. Then I realized they didn't give me a napkin ‍. Okay, I have to say soy milk was 5/5. Food was 2/5 Packaging 0/5 Value 1/5 read more
