This place might be a sleeper but their broth in the beef noodle soup is some of the best I have ever had. Their egg pancake is awesome and xlb dumplings were great too. Would highly recommend this place, not much seating so you might want to do to go if you can’t get seats. Prices are so fair too.

Taiwanese breakfast! They are located in the corner. Parking is easy in the morning but small parking spots. Food is great but the price is high and they don’t include the sauce in your bag… you’d have to get it yourself which defeats the purpose of take out.. The soy milk doesn’t have sugar so add your own sugar when you’re there before you leave. I always come back here but just always forget the sauces so I’m disappointed in myself and the restaurant when I get home..

One of the favorite Taiwanese restaurants for the locals here. Many of my Taiwanese friends who visit LA would make a special trip to come here to eat. During the pandemic, they only offer take out service. To facilitate the ordering process, you can order online or call in your order.

Great TW breakfast spot. The beef roll was so juicy and flavorful, contrasted with the fresh cilantro. The daikon cake also melted and has good flavor. Fantuan was just ok.

If you’ve ever been to Taiwan, this place serves many of the tradition Taiwanese breakfast dishes. They have the salty soy milk with Chinese donut dish, a dish I can’t seem to find at other places in LA. Enjoyed all the dishes. Not required but leave some tip after eating. The dishes are really affordable. Come in for breakfast.

Taiwanese breakfast at it’s best! The rice roll is soft and flavorful! If compared the food to big tree’s then I would say the pickles aren’t as good but overall the food it’s tastier.

We were just here. Excellent food, the pork soup dumplings were a standout! My child is a big fan of their scallion pancake! We hope to get breakfast in the future.
