Taokay Restaurant: A Disappointing Chaozhou Meal in SG 😕

📍 800 W Las Tunas Dr, San Gabriel, CA 91776 Visited the new Taokay Restaurant hoping for authentic Chaozhou flavors, but left underwhelmed. While the space was busy at lunch, the dishes we tried missed the mark—especially the rice noodles, which three of us barely touched. 🥢👎 🍽️ What We Ordered: 🐷 Longjiang Braised Pork Knuckle Rice – Okay, but nothing special. No vegetables included. 🍜 Rice Noodles (Kway Teow) – The biggest letdown; bland and poorly executed. 🍲 Stir-Fried Dishes – Might be better (based on other tables’ orders), but we didn’t try them. 🏮 Vibe & Crowd: Packed at lunch, suggesting some dishes may appeal to regulars, but our experience was mediocre at best. 💬 Final Thoughts: Unlikely to return. If you’re in San Gabriel craving Chaozhou food, there are more reliable options nearby. An honest review for those curious about this new spot—maybe stick to the wok-fried items if you decide to visit. 🏮 #TaokayRestaurant #ChaozhouFood #SanGabrielEats #HonestReview #LunchLetdown #LAFoodie #AsianCuisine #FoodieExperience #NotRecommended #MixedFeelings
