Mimi 5 Bobee -Rowland Heights — Restaurant in Rowland Heights

Traditional Taiwanese food served with warm service!

Returning back to the area, I was craving some authentic Taiwanese food...something that would take me back to the night markets of Taipei. I think this may be that spot. It was clear to me some folks regularly visit this spot, because many patrons walked in, and were greeted with a "your usual?". This warmth in my opinion adds to the authentic Taiwanese flavor and overall ambiance.

We went with the stinky tofu w/ Taiwanese sausage, the Dan Dan noodles, and the braised pork belly set with rice, spicy tofu, and vegetables.

The stinky tofu and Taiwanese sausage was AMAZING. It's not something I would recommend if you're NOT a fan of this pungent yet delicious food, but if you are a fan like myself, this place does a good job with it! It is good as it comes, but I would recommend adding some extra hot sauce on the pickled cabbage for a bit more kick.

The braised pork belly combination won my heart. I mean, it was soaked in a rich broth and paired with bamboo. It was absolutely mouth-watering. The fatty pork belly was true to it's name and absolutely melted in my mouth. The flavors were bold, rich, and perfect with a spoonful of white rice.

I know a few people have spoken highly about the Dan Dan noodles, and they weren't bad, but to be honest, not my favorite, subjectively.

We will be back!! I truly love this little mom and pop restaurant and I sincerely want to try every single item on the menu to see if it'll transport me back to the humid...

It was 6pm and my wife and I were the only customers there. We ordered beef noodle soup, Taiwanese braised pork rice, braised tofu, and two cups of milk tea.

Waiting time was not long. Braised tofu and braised pork rice were tasty, but the portions of them is only enough for a 5 years old, beef noodle soup took a while to be served, the beef and the soup are no where near authentic Taiwanese beef noodle soup. Noodle was not bad though, kinda chewy. One of the worst milk tea, if not the worst…

On top of the overrated food and drinks, the waitress overcharged $3, come on! We already feel like being robbed by the tiny portioned food that costs $13 a bowl, and the watered down milk tea that costs $5 each…

Waitress ended up change the price matching what’s on the menu, and apologized then explained there is something wrong with their POS system…

It was our first and...

My favorite Taiwanese comfort food spot ❤️ The menu has changed slightly since the last time I came (years ago, pre-pandemic), but the prices are still very reasonable and the food is outstanding. My friend, however, ordered dandan noodles and was unhappy to discover that it was salty beyond belief, nearly to the point of being inedible. I'm not sure if that's always how they make their dandan noodles, but a word of warning to those who can't tolerate or eat...
