    Leek pie. Delicious
    James L.

    I've known about Yung Ho for many years, as we came here to grab some handheld foods before driving to Vegas. This is my first time dining here for some Taiwanese breakfast items. The inside is small, dated and resembles an eatery from Taiwan; meaning they don't focus too much on decor and ambiance. Where they lack, it's balanced out by the nostalgic comfort food. We went with some familiar items: Chinese donut was fresh, slightly crispy, fluffy and a decent size. Perfect for dipping in sweet soy milk or on its own. Ginger soy milk was surprisingly good. It's a perfect balance, you taste the ginger and the sweetness of the soy milk without one overpowering the other. I'd get it again. But is you order plain sweet soy milk, you'll have to add your own sugar to taste. The beef pan cake (not pancake) had good flavor but the pastry part was a bit dry and hard on the edges. The texture seemed like leftover from the previous day, then reheated. The leek pie was very good. Fresh and flaky shell stuffed with the right amount of leek. I also got a giant almond cookie before leaving. It was a bit dry and crumbly. They're displayed by the counter near the entrance. Besides serving simple breakfast items, Yung Ho also have lunch items like rice and noodles. The people here are friendly with a warm smile, and it has that family owned small business vibe. We will definitely be back. The parking lot is small and shared with a few other businesses, but I never had problems finding a spot. Side note: Yung Ho located next to Arcadia Donut, another family owned small business that I like to support, and who happened to be survivors of the Monterey Park mass shooting.

    XLB... very X (Xiao-- the X in XLB) or small and not juicy which is just fine for my seven year old

    This is my new go to spot for traditional Taiwanese (Chinese) breakfast. Four Sea(s) AKA Sihai is good but I prefer the atmosphere here at YungHo as it has better seating, more extensive menu, and not to mention way better service. As always I like to start with the great history of this place. Even if this particular restaurant doesn't have direct lineage to the original brand YungHo, its menu and main dish reflect the founding and philosophy of YungHo. YungHo was founded in 1955 by a retired Chinese soldier from ShanDong. Its original location is at one end of the bridge at the cusp of YungHo District in what was once Taipei County (now New Taipei City). Its exclamation point in establishing its prominence in food excellence was when Madame Chiang visited the place since she was a food enthusiast. Back to present times, this YungHo may not be spot on with all the original flavors but the main items of soybean milk and Chinese donut (YouTiao) are solid. The hardest dish to master is the rice roll (FanTuan) and they came through with that as well. Last but not least I cannot leave out my younger son's favorite, Xiaolongbao (XLB) or steamed buns. This is definitely not a YungHo dish but it's a popular item here. Don't expect them to be the juicy XLB at DTF because they are not exactly juicy. Rather they are homemade and still quite tasty without the juice. So be aware if you like lots of juice in your XLB. Until next time I see you, YungHo. Of course I cannot wait to visit the original location in YungHo, soon!!

    Wow, I missed this place when I moved to the East Coast. There's a bunch of poser Taiwanese fusion breakfast spots in NYC, and they're overpriced and subpar. There's no line here on a weekend morning for brunch. Meanwhile, in East village, you'll have to wait like 3 hours for Ho Foods, and their food is twice as expensive and a fourth the quality. The fried dough here is fluffy on the inside and cripsy on the outside. I don't have to order a set menu. My favorites are the egg pancakes. Probably each dish is under $7. The service is no frills and quick. If you order the normal soy milk with not the "salty" version( that one has tofu chunks and sesame oil,etc. to make it savory), then you control your diabetes level. There's a sugar glass on the side and you can pour as much as you want?!?!

    What is this??? 3 pieces of lamp for an $18 dish? Makes me sad to see this place. Try harder.

    Was craving Taiwanese breakfast and decided to check this spot out for the first time. The menu is quite extensive! I got a number of dishes including shao bing (plain and with egg), you tiao, soy milk, scallion pancakes with egg, beef rolls, beef noodle soup, xiao long bao, and stinky tofu. Overall the food didn't taste fresh. The shao bing was more tough than crispy. The XLB was not juicy at all and the skin was thick and a bit dry. One item that was made well was the radish omelet, which had a good texture and taste. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is in a small plaza with easy parking.

    Egg pancake with Chinese donut
    Vicky W.

    I was born and raised in Taiwan!! Growing up with traditional Taiwanese breakfast and this restaurant warms my heart with their food-- the taste of home. The parking situation is quite easy and there's always no issue to find a spot on weekdays and weekends. They accept cash and card and I usually place phone orders and pick up, it's quite convenient. No outdoor seating only dine-in. ⁣ ⁣ Here I present my favorite Taiwanese breakfast item- Egg Pancake stuffed with Chinese Donut (You Tia)!!! The outside is crunchy with a slight savory flavor, inside is the freshly deep fried dough, nice a warm and very crispy. Every bite is full of flavors and layers of texture. ⁣ ⁣ If you are hesitant about trying Taiwanese breakfast, this is the place to fulfill your appetite and cheer up your tastebuds.

    Vegetarian rice roll with egg
    Judy T.

    As a vegetarian, I was happy that they had vegetarian options. We got a rice roll with egg, salty soy milk, and a vegetarian fried rice cake. It was all very delicious. I liked that they added seaweed for a little more umami. Staff was friendly and not overly attentive. The flavors weren't too salty either. Pricing was decent for what we ordered. I would definitely go back. for some comforting Taiwanese breakfast.

    Takeout Menu as of 6.20.21
    Stacey C.

    Glad I found a new Taiwanese breakfast joint nearby our home! I've always gone to Si Hai in San Gabriel and Yi Mei in Monrovia in the past but I recently tried Yung Ho and the quality is pretty much the same among these restaurants. But I think Yung Ho is less expensive than Yi Mei. They are still operating as takeout only, no dine in, as of June 2021. Their indoor dining space inside is pretty small so I don't know if I would feel comfortable dining there yet even if it was open. Every time I pass by the restaurant, there is always a line of at least 3-4 people outside waiting. Their fan tuan (rice roll) portion is huge! Good value for the price. While I was waiting, I could see each party ordering a few of these rice rolls. The pan fried radish cake was okay. If you order it, it taste better if you order it with egg. Their sweet tofu soup was good. It's already lightly pre-sweetened with the ginger sauce.

    You tiao. So light and crispy!!!!

In the way of ambience, they have a lot of license plates, freeway type signs and other signage throughout the facility. It is very neat and clean and the decor is actually very nice.! If you are in Monrovia, I recommend you stop into this place for breakfast, you won't be disappointed!

Even though the place was buzzing with energy and clearly a local favorite, the team handled the weekend crowd seamlessly. The staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and fast, making the entire experience feel smooth from start to finish. Since there were five of us, we ordered a variety of dishes to share family-style, which turned out to be the best decision. The absolute star of the table was the pancakes--they are truly outstanding! They nailed both the texture and the flavor: golden on the outside, insanely fluffy on the inside, and rich without feeling overly heavy. The waffles were equally delicious, holding a fantastic crisp on the edges while remaining light in the center. To top it all off, the drink selection was top-tier. Whether you get their specialty coffees or refreshing iced beverages, or even hot tea. Every drink was crafted with care and tasted wonderful alongside the sweet and savory brunch items. It's rare to find a busy weekend brunch spot where both the food and the service shine this brightly. We will definitely be back!

Great balancing meal if you want something on the lighter end. Monte Cristo: This was a big dish was huge or the other dish was small and it comes with a side. We ordered a side of crispy scalloped potatoes, soft and gooey. I would recommend ordering the potato scallops to try something new. Ham, Swiss and egg was warm. The sandwich was cut into two halves so really shareable plate.

We sat at a table by the front window facing the main drag. The area definitely has an old town feel with many restaurants and shops up and down the street. There is also a park right across the street. There is plenty of parking around the corner on the street and in a nearby lot. I started out with the Coughlin's Law cocktail (Aviation gin, house infused vanilla syrup, fresh lemon, egg white, lavender bitters, $16). It was a good light drink with light vanilla and lemon flavor. I always love a good foam top too. She started out with a Basil Paloma (Herradura silver tequila, muddled basil & grapefruit, fresh grapefruit juice, lime, simple syrup, seltzer, $15). It had good grapefruit and basil flavor, and was nicely balanced. We ordered the buffalo cauliflower appetizer ($14). The cauliflower was supposed to be grilled, but it seemed almost raw. The buffalo sauce definitely had a good kick. For my entrée, I had the Black Angus Basin Burger (manchego cheese, carmelized onions, arugula, special sauce, brioche bun, $19). The burger was excellent. The cheese, carmelized onions, and arugula was a great flavor combo. The fries were good, but I'd order them more crispy next time. She had the two taco plate with fish and potato tacos ($15). The taco shells were freshly fried, and it was a filling plate that she enjoyed. We had one more round of drinks and I had the Billionaire cocktail (Old Forrester 100 proof bourbon, lemon, house made grenadine, absinthe, $16). This was excellent. It was very balanced, and not boozy at all with a very light sweetness. Her second was the Smoke and Fire (Peloton de la Muerte mezcal, Ancho Reyes liqueur, muddled jalapeno & orange, fresh lime, agave, chili salt, $15). It was pretty well balanced with a medium smokiness. It definitely had a kick of heat on the finish. Our server Lakyn was friendly and provided good service. The menu prices are cash prices. There is an extra 3.5% surcharge if you pay with a credit card. The buffalo cauliflower appetizer was mostly a miss, but everything else was very good so I'm rounding up to five stars. They have a very good sized cocktail and food menu, as well as many beers on tap. They also have happy hour specials. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.
