My most recent visit: Pure disappointment. Potstickers looked like they were undercooked. In fact, I've operated potsticker steam griddles before, and Yi Mei's potstickers were a disaster. Flour didn't hold up, there was a lack of filling, there were no crispiness to the texture, and the filling again seemed undercooked Alot with the soggy skin. An utter failure. Dan Bing Egg Tortilla Omlette--- overwhelming. Feels like the wrong type of cheese to use, overdose of cheddar, overly salty, omlette was too thick. In all honesty, you are better off ordering a breakfast burrito at Arts Burger in El Monte...or just stick to 4 Seas Taiwanese Breakfast...took two bites and that was it, I can't do it. I wished I had just made breakfast at home, I've lost hope for spending on restaurants because of this. And the Taiwanese sausages....just go to Tawa or 168 and buy a pack for 10 dollars and go home, use a fry pan and low to medium the sausages on all sides until you get even char and the internal temperature reaches 450 degrees, you'll know because juices will be oozing out from the charred cracks and if you use some rice wine, it will bring out the flavor even more, and just finish it off with some ghost pepper powder. Bon appetit. But what was served here today is again, a joke to Taiwanese Sausages. Only two items that were passable were the beef pickle sesame torta sandwich (牛肉燒餅）and Daikon Radddish Cakes (蘿蔔糕） .....can't believe I was craving this place only to realize my expectations were about 1000x the reality ....
This place is so good. Its my first time having a rice roll and it was burst with flavors. Rice roll 9/10 I got it with (Extra crispy Chinese donuts, eggs, pork floss, sour pickles, pickled daikon, korean sausage) I also got beef rice roll - 8/10 and daikon cake with fried eggs -The best daikon cake I've had! Solid 10/10. They even have daikon cake in the fridge for you to take home. Since I live almost 2 hours away, I had to buy 2 to take home. Can't wait to go back!
It was our first time at this location and we really liked it! It's spacious, clean, bright, convenient self ordering by scanning a QR code at the table, quick service, and yummy food! The daikon cake was fried so perfectly! Highly recommend! We dined in on a Wednesday and it happened to be Daikon Special day of $3.75. Woohoo!
With the fan tuan going viral, I did decided to stop by to give it a try as well (not pictured), as well as ordering a pork chop rice. It's interesting how it's going viral, but I'm glad that it is. Fan tuan has spent one of my all-time favourite foods growing up, mostly because it is very carby, but also the Chinese donut and pork floss. It is a heavy item but definitely worth a try if you're hungry. The Chinese donut in the middle is crunchy and these pork floss gives it a perfect salty and savory combination. The pork chop rice is standard, but but that's a good thing. Crispy pork chop, marinated egg, vegetables on a bit of rice. What more could you ask for. If you're looking for a relatively quick meal, and has a hankering for Taiwanese food, you found a place. Make sure to order a soy milk to wash it all down. Interior is clean and services fast and friendly. Surface level parking is a bit limited, but they have underground parking shared with other stores nearby.
Was craving Taiwanese food and found this place for a quick breakfast. Ordering food is a different process compared to other places. You find a seat/ table and you scan the menu and order from there and pay on the app. It's pretty much self service which is a good thing. Along with getting the condiments and water which are posted at the center service station with all the sauces. Ordered the chicken bowl and added sausage 4/5, get this is you're hungry. Popcorn chicken 4/5, good spice and kick to it. Sticky rice roll with Chinese donut 4/5, gonna have to try the black rice version next time. Sitting at some tables can be communal as you're sitting next to someone else.
Food was good. Soy was not extra ordinary but clean and tastes like soy. Beef soup was not comparable to Lao Xi or Din Tai. Portion was good. Price point was moderately ok. Taste was really good for those rice rolls. Staff taking order were nice but they are pretty staffed so I don't understand the lag. Person who delivered our food was sweet but she couldn't answer questions.
Parking lot structure available Came on a Sunday for lunch and had to wait about 30 mins for a table. It's pretty much self service. You scan the QR code to order your food from the menu. There's a counter for self serve water and sauces, utensils etc. We tried a few different things on the menu but I think their best item is just the popular fan tuan! I love how crispy the donut is and you can add extra toppings like with an egg, sausage etc.
One of our favorite places for Taiwanese breakfast, Yi Mei should be on people's must try list. I love coming here for their fantuan which are reasonably priced and so hearty! When you head to the location you may see a long line. Don't be deterred! A majority of the patrons are there for take out. For sit down, you will order and pay first and seat yourself. Everything is priced reasonably and large portions that you'd definitely get your bang for your buck. For this visit we ordered (of course) the salty fantuan which includes egg, pork floss, Chinese donut and we added in a Chinese sausage which is more on the salty side than sweet. We also got a sausage and meat plate, an egg pancake and of course their savory soy bean milk. Everything came out quickly and tasted amazing. Definitely try out this location if you're looking for delicious food and at a great price!
Quaint Taiwanese breakfast spot located in the heart of SGV. I did find this spot through social media because of the viral salty rice roll (fan tuan), but they have a variety of other breakfast options offered ad well. I tried the fan tuan with a chinese donut and fried egg added as extra (already comes with sausage and pork floss), plus a bowl of hot soy milk - unsweetened and a chinese donut to pair with. I personally would give the food a 3.7/5, as the fan tuan is good but there is a bit of flavor lacking. However, if you add either the garlic sauce or chili oil that is offered at the self serve station, it would kick up the rating to 4.2/5. The service is quick and the staff are constantly on the go, but are quick to come to your service at a moment's call.
The extra crispy youtiao makes it special. Don't forget to ask for sauce. Variety of Taiwanese breakfast looks good. Came by on a weekend afternoon and there was a lot of people waiting. The signs said that ordering online might be faster, but afterward we felt like dining in would be ok. We ordered pickup through the QR code at the restaurant and were given a 20 minute wait time without about 6 parties hanging out outside. We walked a few blocks away and saw one of our favorite fantuan places with no wait nearby! We ordered a savory purple rice fantuan with extra crispy donut and an added egg. The extra crispy was something--my partner liked it and I could have done with a regular youtiao. The flavor of the whole thing was good but nothing amazing and balance of ingredients was a bit off. The purple rice fell apart easily. We got an egg omelette which my partner really liked, and a cold soymilk which was slightly sweet and refreshing. We regret forgetting the sauce. Our friends hyped it up to us after. There's an extensive menu beyond fantuan, which includes porridge, rice plates, and soups. Seems like a good place to come to for comfort food.
Like many others here, I had to stop by to try the purple rice roll. The portion is pretty hefty so I would recommend sharing if you're looking to try other dishes. The roll can be ordered sweet or savory, and I would recommend adding protein. The beef roll is flavorful but slightly watery, so it was a bit messy to eat. My absolute fave order has to be the freshly made soy milk! Prices are extremely affordable. I can't wait to come back to try other dishes.
I really wanted to like this place. Where to start? Maybe the positive parts. Ordered via QR code to go. Email said ready in 25 mins. That's was insanely accurate. Parking was not bad. Although I think someone hit my car...if you're reading this...You suck. The food was fresh. But the portion small..this is the day before where they posted they were closed due to lack of ingredients. The customer service is ok leaning more towards improvement. I understand it's not your fault social media blew you guys up. But at the same time in the era that we live in it should be expected. I was told by the front that if you order online just give your name for the order. Now the cons. The left out one of my orders. Pig ears. I called 3 times. No answer. On the fourth call a man picked up and said he couldn't believe they left it out. He wanted me to come back but I was already home...he promised a refund and he was good on his word. I factored this in with my rating. I ordered: 2 beef noodle soups - $14.75 each 1 Mince pork rice $12 FanTuan - $8.25 (extra pickle radish/purple rice) 2 large sweet soy milk - $4.25 each 1 salty soy milk small - $4.75 1 Chinese donut - $3.75 Missing pig ears / $7 Total with tax was $80.15 The food was mid. I'm sorry. It was most likely the influx from social media. The portion are small compared to other taiwanese spots. I feel so bad straying away from my usual spot (which I won't mention). I took a picture comparison of my fan Tuan you can judge yourself... The sweet soy milk was good. Overall I won't be back.
Was so excited to try this spot! You sit down, order, and pay via your table's QR code, which makes things super easy. I got the cold soy milk, which was so delicious and refreshing, as well as the pork chop rice plate. The rice plate was yummy and comforting - I loved the minced pork on the rice as well and the marinated cucumbers and veggies were a great addition. I shared the spicy wonton but it ended up being overly salty and spicy which really overshadowed the wonton flavor itself. They were also unfortunately out of the popular beef roll when we arrived (around 2pm). Service is about average but the prices are quite reasonable, and as a lover of Taiwanese food, I know I'll definitely find my way back! Parking in the plaza or underground.

tried the viral purple rice roll and it wasn't bad. the chinese donut used was super tasty though. it fell apart pretty easily so it was a bit hard to eat the spicy wontons didn't have much flavor to them, it was just insanely spicy. you taste more of the chili oil than the filling of the wontons. it was also way too salty heads up when arriving, you're to seat yourself and order through the QR code at the tables! read more

We came on a Sunday morning. There was a long wait for dine-in so we opted for take out (which also had a long wait). I got the purple rice fantuan with a sausage inside. Super good!!! The wait was long but overall worth it. read more
OMG this place was incredible. I wanted to eat absolutely EVERYTHING on the menu and take everything home from the front display. There is plenty of seating, and the flavors, textures, portions, prices are all top notch. I can't believe how delicious everything was--I haven't had food like this since i was in Taiwan! Absolutely stunning and I wish I lived closer to be able to enjoy more frequently! The service is quick and efficient, the food comes out promptly, and we had a wonderful relaxing brunch! I have had a large quantity of beef rolls in my life and this one was extremely tender and delicious, definitely a step up in juiciness from sometimes the dryer version you might get elsewhere. Sensational! read more

Such a staple breakfast item and great for a meal on the go! Parking was okay, there's extra parking in the little underground garage they have. Service was average and relatively quick for to-go. Got the salty rice roll -- purple rice, extra crispy youtiao, pork floss, pickled radish, fried egg, 1/2 sausage, and sour pickles. So balanced in textures and flavors! A good price for a filling and yummy meal! Overall, it's a recommended stop for me! They have more things on their menu to try and for a reasonable price too. Worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

The beef sandwich was ok to me. Kind of lacked flavor and it was dry. The daikon cake and the rice roll was the star. The daikon cake was so yummy I ended up buying the block to go home and cook it. The service is yourself. You order and sit down and grab sauces yourself read more
Finally came to check out this infamous viral (tic toc) Taiwanese breakfast purple rice burrito, no regrets. It was unique and delicious! We also ordered a curry and pork pastry and a beef sandwich, both were very good! Menu is small, but there is a variety, looking forward to coming back and trying other items. Fortunately they don't serve coffee here, but they do have several milk tea options. Love that this restaurant is close to home, restaurant is very clean, indoor seating available with excellent customer service! Located in a shopping center, additional parking underground. read more
I arrived on a Sunday around 10:12 am and there was a long line for to go and in door eating. They even have a security guard regulating customers going inside. I had to wait a few minutes before I was allowed to go in an order. They have an online system where you can order to skip the longer wait time. Fan Tuan is about $7+ but when you add on purple rice $1 a fried egg $1+, sausage $1+, the total was about $11ish. It took over 30 minutes for my order to be ready. It was just okay and definitely overpriced and not worth the wait. read more
I'm so glad I gave this place a try! Yi Mei definitely lived up to the hype. I was a bit skeptical about trying an Asian-style burrito at first, but it completely won me over. We came for Saturday brunch, so there was a bit of a wait, but the staff were super helpful; quick to clean tables and get us ready to order. You order through a QR code and pay online, which makes everything really easy (no language barrier at all). I absolutely loved my purple rice roll (fan tuan)! I added extra crispy yao tiew and an egg, and the texture was just perfect! read more
Taiwanese breakfast cravings = handled Yi Mei is a laid-back spot serving authentic Taiwanese favorites from savory pancakes and rice rolls to soy milk, noodles, and snacks. Everything is made with fresh ingredients and rooted in tradition, and you can taste that quality in every bite. I tried: Cold sweet milk tea Pan-fried pork dumplings Popcorn chicken Simple, flavorful, and perfect for a quick, satisfying bite. read more
I saw someone try their fan tuan on Instagram, so I was excited to try it! I ordered online and got the Fan Tuan with purple rice and a cold sweetened black soy milk. The fan tuan comes with pork floss and pickled veggies, and I didn't get any additional add-ons. I did request the youtiao to be extra crispy! Picking up my order was easy as you just go to the cashier and they'll give it to you. As for the food, I thought it was decent. I appreciated the large portion size of the fan tuan and despite picking up my order 20 mins late, the youtiao was still crispy, so definitely recommend requesting for extra crispy! The taste was okay though. I've had pork floss many times, and it usually has a nice balance of sweet and savory. However, I found their pork floss to be too sweet, so that really overpowered the taste of the whole fan tuan. I did like the purple rice as it was a great texture, firm and not mushy. Honestly, I had high expectations for the fan tuan, so I was a bit disappointed it didn't meet them. I will say I enjoyed the black soy milk! Perfect sweetness, and I like that they don't put ice in it since you get more of the drink haha. Overall, I would recommend trying it once, but personally, I wouldn't visit again. Maybe I'll try their other food items as they seem affordable, but I wouldn't order the fan tuan again. read more
Love this Taiwanese breakfast place! I like how you're able to seat yourself and order using a QR code and pay on the spot. They also have a sauce station with lots of options. The crispy rice roll (with purple rice) was my favorite dish as it was so crispy and flavorful with every bite. The pork dumplings were so juicy and they gave a generous amount for the price. I really liked the daikon cake with egg too. The texture was just perfect and I enjoyed dipping in their garlic sauce. The egg omelet was also flavorful and added a nice touch. read more

Always excited by Taiwanese breakfast, but I think I went with what's popular here rather than what's simple and dependable. The purple rice roll was good but big and dense enough to knock out a bull. You Tiao in a roll with sugar plus Rou Song was a touch too much. I also wished I could've add sugar to the Dou Jiang myself instead of the fixed options of hot unsweetened or cold sweetened. I like what they're doing here though and next time will just get You Tiao on its own. read more
March 30, 2026 I've been searching for a good Taiwanese scallion pancake ever since my favorite breakfast spot in Rowland Heights shut down, and I finally found the one at Yi Mei. It brought back exactly the kind of flavor and texture I've been missing for a long time. The scallion pancake was the highlight--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and packed with that savory scallion flavor that makes Taiwanese breakfast so comforting. It really hit the spot. The drinks were perfect and paired really well with the food. Everything tasted truly authentic, which isn't always easy to find. You can tell they're staying true to traditional Taiwanese breakfast flavors. I also appreciated how clean and organized the place was. Ordering through the QR code made everything super convenient, and the service was fast. Great system if you just want to get in, enjoy good food, and go about your day. Overall, solid Taiwanese breakfast, fast service, and a scallion pancake that finally satisfied the craving I've had since my old Rowland Heights spot closed. Definitely coming back. read more

I would say it's easy to order your food, scan QR code and order on the website and you can pay on the phone as well which is convenient. I ordered the Chinese donut, flatbread, hot and cold soy milk, and the salty purple rice roll. It was pretty good and affordable. They are at an affordable price too. They open pretty early at 7am. The environment is very clean and utensils, napkins, sugar is self-serve. read more
This spot is a must try! Really enjoyed their purple rice roll. Its all the hype and rightfully so. Get the fried donut extra crispy, add green onion pancake and brown sugar with their sasuage. That made it so so good. I also really enjoyed their beef roll with green onion pancake as it was packed full of flavor! read more
Drove an hr for this and it was very worth it. The food was a hit! I love that purple rice roll. You can add/remove a lot of toppings to customize it anyway you want. We added sausage and pickled vegetables to ours. Wish I brought a cooler so I could buy and to-go some for later. The tamales was also really good with super tender meat. It's called TW tamales but it's more like a sticky-rice with braised meat?? Idk don't quote me on that. The service was a bit slow bc they were short staffed. I love the sign they have read more

Placed our order at the front cashier with no menu given to start and the tv only displayed less than half the menu so.....great experience already. Choose your own seating. Cutlery, napkins, water and sauces are all "self-service" Ordered pork chop rice plates and sausage rice plate. Would have preferred to order noodles if I had been given a proper menu to look at. Food looked good when it came out but rice had some hard bits and half way through, the bottom was really greasy. Sausage was really dry, like over fried to the point where there was no more moisture. Good amount of veggies and pickles tho. Good value if you don't mind greasy food read more

~TAIWANESE BREAKFAST CRAVINGS? THIS HITS THE SPOT ~ Yi Mei is Taiwanese girly approved. This spot definitely scratched that Taiwanese breakfast itch, especially when you're craving classic comfort foods that remind you of mornings in Taiwan. We came late morning and the place was already pretty lively, with a mix of dine-in and lots of people grabbing takeout. Ordering is easy with a QR code at the table, and the food came out pretty quickly once we placed everything. Of course we had to get the purple rice fan tuan (rice roll). It was decent, the fillings were good, though the rice itself was a little firmer than I usually prefer. Still, it had that classic combo of savory, chewy, and crunchy in the middle that makes fan tuan so satisfying. The daikon cake was actually one of my favorite bites. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and super comforting. We also tried the Taiwanese sausage rice, which was simple but really flavorful. For drinks, we tried the soy milk and milk tea. The soy milk leaned more traditional and savory, which some people love and others might find a little different. The milk tea was a easily delicious. Inside they also sell a bunch of grab-and-go items like pastries, pineapple cakes, drinks, and packaged snacks, which honestly makes it feel even more like a Taiwanese breakfast shop. Is it exactly like eating breakfast in Taiwan? Not quite. But it definitely gets pretty close and is a great place to satisfy the craving if you're in the area. Overall: comforting Taiwanese breakfast vibes, quick service, and plenty of classic dishes to try. read more

We were craving Taiwanese food for brunch and found Yi Mei on Yelp, so we decided to give them a try. You can order in the front or via QR code, we opted for the QR code. Once the order is placed, they will bring the food out to you. I decided to order the Fan Tuan with purple rice ($11.05) and it was a tasty bite. The Fan Tuan was filling and satisfied my cravings. The Fan Tuan was a solid amount of food. Next time, I would share a half of it to try more of their other food items. There is a sauce bar where you can load up on sauces, I got the chili oil and enjoyed the spicy kick that it provided for each bite of my food. read more
