Yi Mei — Restaurant in Monrovia

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.

They offer all of my favorite Taiwanese food here especially breakfast items. The rice rolls are excellent and authentic. I particularly like their sesame flatbread with eggs. This breakfast item is crispy and nutritious. I also like their Hot soy milk. For many Chinese, this is a morning stable drink. Every time I come here, I have to have a soy milk drink. Yi MEI has done a good job on this drink. Fried dough goes well with the soy milk drink too.

Lunch dishes are good too. They have probably one of the best noodles in town. My favorite is their pig feet noodle. The pig feet are tender and flavorful. The soup is heavenly and reminds me of the good food I had when I visited Taiwan. Set lunch plates are also offered during lunch time. The plates include many famous Taiwanese dishes such as minced pork rice and Taiwanese sausages rice.

For those of you want to have their frozen item, they have frozen pork dumplings and pot stickers. In the refrigerator, you can get cold...

If you love Taiwanese food, Yi Mei is the spot. The restaurant is fairly new and very clean. They're located in the same plaza as luscious dumpling in Monrovia.

My friend brought me here to have their Taiwanese rice rolls. I've had this at many other places in the SGV before but the made-to-order rice rolls here are definitely the best. I order the salted rice roll, which has the pork sung and Chinese donut. I also add a fried egg and Chinese pickles. For $4.75, the rice roll is very filling. You can also add a cold or hot soy milk to make it a combo for just $1 more.

Other than the rice rolls they're known for, Yi Mei has all your Taiwanese favorites of noodle and rice. They also have baked items and a cold fridge of prepared food. I haven't tried their Taiwanese tamales yet but it seems to be another popular item there.

The restaurant is cash only. You order at the counter and self-seat. The food come out quickly and the...

Decided to try a new Taiwanese breakfast spot and it didn't disappoint! You can order at the counter or order on the iPad by the door. This place has a decent selection of items to choose from. I ended up trying the salty rice roll, Chinese donut, and soy milk.

Soy milk came warm, in a bowl, and unsweetened. They have sugar for you to add so you can sweeten it to your liking. The Chinese donut was slightly cold when I got it, wish this was served hot but the taste and texture of the donut was good especially with the soy milk. The salty rice roll had too much rice. Looking at the other pictures it seems like mine had a lot more than how they typically made it. Despite it having too much rice, really enjoyed the taste of the pickles, pork sung, and Chinese donut altogether.

Overall great value and good food. They accept...
