Yum! Affordable Taiwanese food in Rowland!!! $10.50 Cold Noodles is a must!! $13.99 for beef noodle soup, $8.99 Pork rice, $7.99 Boiled A Vegetable and other appetizers. Located down the walkway between the plaza's main buildings. No restroom. The Food District restroom was closed too when we visited. Takes credit card if order $25min. OG place with sticky tables, and such.
I'm not a fan of the Arcadia location. This location is way better. Everything was okay and mostly decent. And for the prices offered, I'd call it pretty amazing. There's tons of other Taiwanese shops around too. Competition is tough out here. We haven't tried other Taiwanese food around. Also we haven't really been around this area in years.
Orders out if the Popular section: $8.99 Mushroom Sliced Pork Rice with Egg. This wasn't for me. It's okay. Kinda like the arcadia location. Its okay if you're buying a cheap meal.
$12.50 Pork Intestine Wrap Sausage. Not really what we expected. It's alot not sausage slices. Sausage has qq skin as expected but we probably wouldn't order this again.
$10.50 Cold Noodles is a MUST!! It was tasty and refreshing. I like that the sauce isn't thick like other places me. It doesn't remind me of Taiwan!
$8.99 Stinky Tofu had crispy skin and cabbage. If you add their chili oil with it, it's decent. I wouldn't eat this without the chili oil.
Snack section $7.99 Boiled A Vegetable is simple. Great for ppl like me who enjoys A vegetable anytime. If you're particular about the qq/cooked precisely, this wonh be for you. But I'll order this again.
$7.50 Marinated Seaweed is decent. They have a good amount.
$13.99 Beef Stew Tendon Noodle (half meat and half tendon). Broth was super flavorful. To some delicate Taiwanese eaters, it could be just a tad just more salty than expected. Meat was tender and tendon was soft. We'd order this again.
Overall, the cold noodles is a must. And the whole menu is...
Read moreI went there with my mom because I was craving some stinky tofu. I knew it was somewhere in this plaza, and just like Toucan Sam, I just had to follow my nose. This is kind of a hole in the wall restaurant, and you and you can see the cooks are literally behind a literal hole in the wall. Super authentic! the Stinky Tofu was great, it was sitting in a sweet and sour sauce with some crunchy cabbage mix on the side of the plate. my mom also wanted to try the Rou Yuan, which I wasn't too keen on. it came out looking like a gray glutinous rice ball which enveloped a meat ball. I couldn't bring myself to eat it. the picture on the menu made it look alost edible, but when it came out looking gray and gelatinous, I couldn't. I had to ask the lady four times to refill my cup of water. she filled it up three times. we were one of two tables that needed to be waited upon. yet I still had to keep asking for water. so the service was lacking, the presentation of the Rou Yuan and apparently the texture was off. my dad said that it was hard. he actually couldn't eat it either. But the stinky tofu hit the spot. service 1 star. ambiance 1 star. stinky tofu 4.5 stars. at least the tofu at tofu king didn't suck. just...
Read moreFirst of all, let me report this: the price for a plate of Stinky Tofu and a bowl of Sliced Pork Rice is already $18.50 from $15.33 from July, 2018. My daughter and I went to Tofu King, Irvine but we can't dine in because of the COVID. Then three days later, we decided to have one at the Rowland Heights branch. We still can't dine in, but fortunately, there are outdoor seats. I visited Rowland Heights one and Arcadia one several times before, both are good. The Stinky Tofu I got this time is the best. 4 deep-fried Stinky Tofu have been cut into 16 pics, they are so crunchy and crispy, the tofu has so many little holes can absorb enough sauce. The pickled cabbage is so sour gives me a striking feeling which I love. The Rowland Heights one is located inside a plaza, which is so Chinese. Full of Chinese restaurants and every speak so loudly and even a woman uses handsfree WeChat to tell her friend on another side: I am going to eat my Stinky Tofu now! The Sliced Pork Rice is also good, which is not made from ground pork but sliced tiny pork pieces. It's a very authentic...
