Lots of food options. Open early at 7:30 AM. Close on Thursday. Chinese donuts, soy milk and soy bean curd ( sweet tofu soup) are good for my stomach after work out. Turnip cake is good too. Can't ignore the beef pan cake also. Service is good & price is reasonable. Casual dining style. I ordered mostly to go. Need to try more on the menu. Lots of parking space. read more

There are not that many Taiwanese breakfast places and this is definitely a place that you should put on your list every place flavor is a little bit different when you order you will find out for example the rice tends to be a little bit sweet and the pork zone is a little bit different also but doesn't mean that it tastes bad it's just everybody's different and how their flavor is the Chinese donut that they put inside is also soft instead of crunchy pricing is relatively comparable to other places but this place somehow the service is much faster compared to other unnamed areas and unnamed places parking is not plentiful but it is there read more

When we went this time, the young lady who speaks English is not there so we struggled with trying to order, Make sure you check what the woman staff typed in in her notepad. Beef vs lamb was an error we found before saying yes to the final order. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Really good place if you're already an established regular customer. Not so much if you're not, even if you speak Mandarin. Walked in with sis a while back to try and order take out. There was a short line, so we waited for our turn patiently. We finally make it to the front after about 10 minutes. We barely started ordering with the moody lady working there when a regular walked in shouting from the back about her to-go order. The lady taking our order just dropped everything, walked away without saying a word to retrieve that customer's order, hand it to her, chat for a bit, all smiles, before slowly returning to us with her RBF again, acting impatient as if we're interrupting her. Needless to say, our minds changed quickly and we left without ordering anything to go. read more

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?!?! read more

no frills chinese breakfast! i've only ordered to-go. i've gotten their turnip pastry (super yummy and flaky), fan tuan, and xlb. per other reviews, their xlb are indeed very small, which is perfect for my kids. they thought it was delicious too. they're happy to customize my fan tuan how i like it - no pickles and old you tiao (asking for an older one means they fry it back up so it's extra crispy). unfortunately, on my last visit, the old you tiao did not hit the mark. will still come here out of convenience, though! read more

I live fairly close to this restaurant, located in a nondescript strip mall close to the busy junction of Las Tunas, Live Oak, and Santa Anita. But what this Taiwanese-inspired restaurant lacks with its beige stucco exterior, it more than makes up for with a varied and delicious menu. In addition to the usual fare like their delicious Hot & Sour soup, there are some hard to find delicacies here: chitterlings and blood cake with intestines, pickled (sour) cabbage with pork stomach... all the good stuff. IYKYK. Service is efficient but not the gushingly friendly... I'm not here for charm school training, I just want some good old fashioned Taiwanese good like I used to get with coworkers when I was at 華美銀行. read more

This place has likely seen better days. Everything we ordered didn't taste good. The interior and facilities were very old.

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. read more

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. read more

Man I love this place. It's so low key and reminds me breakfast joints you'd find in an alley in Asia. Also tells you how authentic it is. Price is so cheap you can get filled up on ten bucks, I mean that's just unheard of in 2024 post inflation. Every time I visit this place it's just the same as last time I was in here. No fancy interior, but 100% 人情味. Whenever I'm in the area I make sure to stop here. read more

First time coming back to this place post-Covid as it used to be our go to for Taiwanese breakfast. Unfortunately, the price went up (expected) but the quality went way down. Order five items on our recent visit: fried pork bun (sheng jian bao), beef pan cake, rice milk, egg cake, and stinky tofu. The fried pork bun tastes bland and the shape/texture suggests it was machine made, similar to those commercially mass produced buns you find in the frozen aisle in Asian supermarkets. They skimped on the beef in beef pan cake (only two slices of beef). Rice milk tastes like it's made from a mix but somehow has little flavor and has the consistency of snot. The last two items are decent but unremarkable. Not sure what happened to this place but the quality of the food definitely doesn't warrant a return visit. read more

Sometimes you're just in the mood for some taiwanese breakfast, soy bean milk, fried you tiao, so thats what i came for. When i sat done i heard the man from another table talk about the you tiao and i asked him, "is it not good here? Then i'll order something else" he replied "no it's the best here! Light and crispy not so doughy.." he was right!! Soy milk was super flavorful and not watered down. The you tiao was probably the best that i've had in a long while. I ordered the meat stew soup and man! Packed with flavor! Fantuans were so good too! To be honest, i was really full by the time i got to the turnip cake. Reheated later it was really good too! I ordered alot, so i had alot of leftovers to pack (on purpose) .. i think they thought i didnt like their food. It hit the spot and brought back memories when my mom took me to yung ho in taiwan... read more

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. read more

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. read more

My mother and I came to this location for breakfast one Sunday. We were the first party to dine in and more started to enter around 11:30 am. There were several customers who ordered to-go. This particular location is very dated! The aesthetic brought me back a few decades. The staff was very friendly with us and the other customers. There was an elderly man who dined alone and they were especially patient with him and his changing demands. As for my mother and me, we had a simple breakfast. We ordered the salty soy milk (comes in a medium bowl), a Chinese donut, pork buns (comes with 6), and a plain soy milk on the side (unsweetened, comes in a cup). Everything was SO GOOD! We were very impressed with the quality, the flavor, everything! We plan to return and try some of their other dishes. I would definitely want the salty soy milk and Chinese donut again. I would maybe skip out on the buns though. read more

I used to come here frequently for Chinese breakfast but stopped after few negative experiences. The low rating is for the business owner's lack of customer service. There isn't a high expectation for service when dining here. The wait staff is ever changing, but friendly. They try to keep the tables clean, but can't always keep up. However, two instances involving the wrong food served and the business owner refusing to exchange/refund warrants the low rating. Once during dine in, and the other for take out. I picked up to go during one visit and realized they gave us the wrong item once home. Called the restaurant to let them know the issue and since I paid cash, I requested a credit for next visit instead of driving all the way back immediately. Business owner claimed the only option was to bring the food back same day for her to "inspect" and determine if a refund can be given. Ended up just letting it go after the frustrating phone call. Not the worst of experiences out there, but very disappointing. read more

The only Chinese breakfast place around arcadia that hasn't drastically increased their prices (yet). We've been coming here since it was don jon and their soy milk has definitely improved. The soy milk with the old owners used to have this burnt taste but not anymore! And they even have a few flavored ones! I usually get the ginger one. My other usual orders are the fried egg radish cake, deep fried donut (?) to dip in soy milk. I just recently discovered their oyster pancake is really good too. Usually there's plenty of parking unless you come during after school hours as there's a tutor place in the same plaza. read more

Six stars if I can give it. The store set-up immediately reminds me of my hometown Taiwan, and I might have cried biting down to my favorite dishes (饭团 & 蚵仔煎). Lovely price, fast delivery. Nothing to complain about; a must-visit if you're in LA and have a Taiwanese soul. read more

Yung Ho Restaurant - Taiwanese Near Me - Arcadia, California

This no-frills corner store serves up a variety of Chinese and Taiwanese breakfast bites. The new owner from a SGV chain maintained the same practical aesthetics inside from Don Jon Station, and the menu stayed basically the same. The Soybean Milk is a definite staple for breakfast you have to get. The plain or sweet bean milk goes quite well with a dish of Turnip Cake. When I'm craving a more filling breakfast, the Egg Cake brings you light portions of protein, and its more bland flavour compliments a bowl of Salted Bean Milk with the green onions and salted twisted cruller. This bare-bones shop gathers a straightforward menu of Chinese breakfast standards like congee and buns. The guaranteed seating and plaza parking are welcome bonuses for a quick meal. read more

Apparently Doe Jon Station turned into Yung Ho. My sister suggested here or Yung Ho (another location). I decided on Doe Jon and when I got there, I was confused cause the sign read Yung Ho. I didn't really care because both places served Taiwanese breakfast. I'm sad to say that the food was not good... It was edible but lacking in flavor. Even soy sauce and vinegar barely helped it. The food was not aromatic but it was hot. Out of all the items we ordered, I only liked the pork dumpling (xiao long bao). The skin was soft and thin and the meat had good flavor. Only complaint is that there was no soup inside. The turnip cake was too doughy and there was just a thin layer of egg on top rather than actually being pan fried with egg. The fan tuan consisted of 50% rice with dried pork, egg and pickled veggies. It would have been nice to have a Chinese donut in there too. We ordered this pork with bamboo shoots and veggies. This dish was indelible. The pork was tough and the rice was too soft. Service here was good. The girl speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese and was helpful. As we left, we saw a van outside with the name Doe Jon and was wondering if Doe Jon was actually a food truck. Sadly the van was just storage for supplies. read more

Yong He is a district in New Taipei, Taiwan. It's famous for the origins of soy milk drinks. Many restaurants like Yong He Doujiang Wang offer cheap and yummy breakfast with you Tiao( Chinese fried dough), Dou Jiang ( hot soy milk), and shaobing ( crispy pan cake). This combination is a must have when visit Taiwan. Yung Ho Cafe offers similar breakfast items right here next door to our house. So I don't have to go Taiwan to satisfy my Taiwanese soy milk and you Tiao breakfast craving. This restaurant is run by a mom and pop owner and they do put a lot of love into the food they prepared. The hot soy milk and the You Tiao are in par with the ones in Taiwan. I had the craving for You Tiao and Doujiang today and we went to the shop to order takeout. The You Tiao was perfectly hot and crispy and soft on the inside when we go it. In other places, the you tiao feels a bit stale, but here, it tastes like it just came from a vat of bubbling oil. Even after it's cooled in the paper bag when you get it to go, it's still retained a satisfying crunch. The Doujiang was also perfectly cooked without having the burned tasted like many other restaurants do. Besides the usual Youyiao and Doujiang, we also love their Turnip rice cake and Radish Cake. They have the best in our town( Arcadia). We will be back to try out their other dishes soon. read more

A total RIP OFF!!! If I can give it a zero star rating, I would. I purchased their spicy beef noodles to-go today and came home to find only 2 pieces of beef stew that is not even larger than 1/2 the size of my thumb. Mind you...this bowl of noodles is $13! When I called Yung Ho to ask if this's a mistake, I was literally told each order of spicy beef noodles come with 2 small pieces of beef stew. Can you believe it??? Not only that, their soup base is way, way too salty!!! I was expecting to enjoy a nice beef broth but only to be disappointed to taste nothing but salty soy bean paste. If you want to spend your money & get something decent, DON'T, PLEASE DON'T, patronize Yung Ho Dou Jiang, Arcadia! Go somewhere else! read more

Not bad! I don't normally trek out here for Asian breakfast but I do when I get my car fixed up. It's a good way to pass time and enjoy some fresh Chinese donut, porridge and fresh soy milk!

While there might be some other places with a bit better ambiance, you really can't complain! Their prices are so reasonable. Cash is always preferred. They have other little prepackaged baked goods to eat that are available for grab and go. I love them all! So fresh and delicious- the skin is flaky and crispy! read more
