It is not dim sum, its Taiwanese breakfast! Ive 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 dont speak Mandarin. Ive 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 theres no climate control in here. I dont think the heater or AC has ever been on, but thats how they decide to save money. They open everyday at 6am, so make sure to bundle up if youre 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 youre 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) thats always the perfect texture and warm. Egg Covered Tortilla: This is a very simple dish, but its 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. Its basically a turnip cake mix in squares and pan fried. I know turnip cake sounds really odd, but its sooo good! I always ask them to cook it a little longer, so its 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, its literally boiling temperature! Ive burned my tongue many times before because of this, but I love HOT drinks. PS, you can also order Salt Soy Milk, but I dont 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 next time.....

I love Taiwanese Breakfast and this place is similar to some of my other favorite Taiwanese stops! You make your order at the counter and they make the order via a Microphone to the back, wondering how they make the proper order with so much going on the same time! People seemed to continue to roll in and the food just keep on coming! We had the hot sweet soy milk, "fan tuan" the Chinese rice balls ( vegetarian style) included Chinese doughnut and vegetarian pork grinds. A side of Green Onion Pancake, too oily but decent. My man ordered the sticky rice but we didnt like that they didnt keep it in the Zong Zi leaf but he said it was still pretty delicious!

Taiwanese Breakfast, not Chinese! Service is not very good, the establishment could really use a makeover but the food is great. Their fan tuan (rice roll) with fried onion and pickled vegetables tastes just like the stands on the street in Kaohsuing. Their Mijiang (sweet peanut soymilk) is also great hot, I never get it cold. Dont eat their. Just call in your order, pick it up and eat it at home or in the car. Oh and if your chinese isnt very good, the ordering process is a little tough but worth it.

A great place to get a delicious, authentic Taiwanese breakfast. Its counter service so you order your food at the counter and find a seat. In the morning, it may be hard to find a seat since it can get busy. Highly recommend the fan tuan (rice roll). My personal favorite is the fan tuan with stewed egg and pickled vegetables. They only accept cash so make sure you have some before coming.

This is the place to buy authentic Taiwanese breakfast. Soy milk with friend gluten rolls. Yummy sticky rice burrito and egg pancakes. The only problem is they take phone orders but their phone is always off the damn hook. If you got time to wait then great place but if you think you want to grab and go dont bother. The line is usually almost to the door.

I loved this place! The traditional Chinese breakfasts here were to die for. It was almost like being back in China eating breakfast with my family. The "tofu brains" and meat pancake sandwiches with pickled veggies are so good! I recommend this place to anyone missing breakfast from "home".

One of the most authentic taiwanese restaurants in LA. Their specialty is breakfast. Its probably best to go in a group so you can try as many breakfast dishes on their menu as possible!! Its also the only place Ive been able to find delicious, rich rice milk. Cannot wait to go back!!

早上点了豆腐脑和油条带走，结果回家一看杯子里居然装的是豆浆而不是豆腐脑。而且还有一个碗里装的豆腐脑酱和切成片的油条。

The use of office stationary and lots of plastic as food containers might have long term health effect. Also random debris (plastic bag) in the food is not unheard of. Although the food is tasty and there are really no other alternatives.

服务极差、卫生条件极差、东西恶心难吃、假借台湾式早餐为名，实际上是非常劣质的饮食！！！

A great Chinese breakfast place that can feed you for about five dollars. Skip the wait and order ahead by phone if youre going to do pickup. The menu on the wall is entirely in Chinese so ask for an English menu at the front.

A bit noisy, looks old and looks not that clean, but not actually too dirty. They serve Taiwanese food which tastes quite authentic, and the selection is very wide, from breakfast to desserts, but only accepts cash.

The places cleanliness is sub par, but their food is decent and their service is good. Some foods are left on multiple open racks where many customer can walk by. Im a bit concern of their food handling.

Havent had such great tasting authentic Taiwanese food in the US before. It is clear the owners are dedicated to serving real good food as fast as they possibly can. Saturday morning at 10, 20 minute line.

To be honest, this place is not clean at all, but the Taiwanese breakfast is the best in town. Rice Roll, pickle veg pork sandwich, egg crepe , salty soy milk are great.

Delicious Taiwanese breakfast that is filling and affordable. Dan bing, fantuan, and hot soy milk are legit. Only downside to this place is that its cash only.
