Four Sea - Hacienda Heights — Restaurant in La Puente

It is not dim sum, it's Taiwanese breakfast!

I've been coming here for years and the quality has not changed. Although I love this place, it could get a little messy dining here and ordering can be difficult if you don't speak Mandarin. I've attached a photo of my receipt, so you can use it to point and order. I would encourage all my fellow yelpers to upload receipt to help each other out!

The set up is quite simple, but there's no climate control in here. I don't think the heater or AC has ever been on, but that's how they decide to save money. They open everyday at 6am, so make sure to bundle up if you're dining here in the early mornings. The best thing about this place is their take out, super convenient! It usually takes about 10mins on average, unless you're ordering during peak time on weekends.

Here are my favorite things to order:

Salty Rice Rolls: The center has fried bread covered with dried pork song and pickled veggies. The whole thing is then rolled in rice (think sushi) that's always the perfect texture and warm.

Egg Covered Tortilla: This is a very simple dish, but it's one of my favorites! Think of scrambled eggs with green onions being cooked and then layering a tortilla above it. They then wrap it up and then cut it into bite size for you, love! If you love eggs and tortilla, get it!

Fried Radish Cake: Another one of my loves, but be warned that this dish can get a little too garlicky. It's basically a turnip cake mix in squares and pan fried. I know turnip cake sounds really odd, but it's sooo good! I always ask them to cook it a little longer, so it's extra crispy. Worth the extra 2min wait!

Sweet Soy Milk: Their soy milk is the BOMB! Always Fresh. You can order it hot, warm, or cold. I would suggest ordering it warm if you are hitting the road and ready to drink it ASAP because if you order it HOT, it's literally boiling temperature! I've burned my tongue many times before because of this, but I love HOT drinks. PS, you can also order Salt Soy Milk, but I don't have much to write about that since I never get it.

Sweet Bread with Onion Egg: This is basically a steamed sweet bread with the scrambled egg with green onions jammed in the middle (same thing they use for the Egg covered Tortilla). Think of ham and cheese we use to put in between sandwiches, same thing but eggs. A very simple dish, but tasty if you want a bit of sweet and salty.

I hope this helps with your future orders. I would definitely recommend starting with these items and then venturing out! Till...

If I could highly recommend it would not be this place. I read someone else's one star review and our point of view could be identical. Problem 92 degrees in the summer and no air conditioning just the restrooms had ac. My Mama had the peanut rice drink and she only had half she said it was a little sour. Not suppose to be. The fried crouton bread or yo tiao was not crispy and our food was only warm not hot we requested hot temperature food. My Mama could give it no stars she would I said who arrives in the U.S.A and expects to eat the best Taiwan food. If you want fresh exotic go to Taiwan and satisfy your cravings. As for my opinion it was clean service was okay lah and finished all my food including Xiao long bao I give 6-7 out of ten wasn't Ding Tai Phung it was home like as if it was a food stall in Taiwan a step from the street or back alley of a street market. My Mama I could only say she had experience selling The soy milk breakfast at 99 ranch in Nogales St. Many years ago 33 to say at The Shanghai Garden fu chiang. She said it was not good to eat. Some chefs want to make it the best and some just good...

This is a great place for a traditional Chinese breakfast.

Salty/sweet soybean milk, beef or pork sandwich with cilantro, and of course, the bread sandwich (you tiao stuffed in sesame bread).

They also have a lot of different baked goods such as man tou, tzong dze (glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaf- sweet or salty - a Chinese style tamale) also daikon sesame bread, and Taiwanese style fried radish cake (lo bok gao/ nabo frito).

You walk in and place your order at the counter. They give you a number, and then you sit down wherever you find some space. This is a super no-frills place where you “eat your breakfast and go”. Just keep that in mind. You’re there for the food, not...
