Not a full blown Taiwanese restaurant, it is a Chinese restaurant with Taiwanese dishes. I know, because I am a professional.

When we were there for dinner, the place was pretty full with only Asian customers. Not only were there plenty of dine-in…More »

Taiwanese Hot Pot. Now this review has been tagged - see what I just did?

You aint gonna find a more authentic place than this place outside of Taiwan if you were looking for hardcore hotpotting. I know, fact, I am a professional.

Didn't quite do it for me...

Food was okay, just okay, really, just okay. Seldom came here for dinner, I don't see as much value when compared to luch combos.

To be fair, quality here is consistent - never had anything that made me frown. But, nothing…More »

Probably one of the best chinese restaurants in the area.

How to describe...non-abrasive chinese cuisine. Spices blended well in each dish. Liked by both pro-level and average chinese food connoisseurs. The saying, "when it is good, it is good,"…More »

One of better dim sum places and they have them at dinner too. We went there for dim sum dinner.

BUT, let you be warned, expect a bit of wait...because they don't steam the dim sum orders until you've ordered. Not sure about lunch, though.

It was worth…More »

Solid experience. Meat was very fresh for AYCE, and for only 20 bucks.

The place was packed with a decent length queue, we waited at the bar for about 30 min before we got seated. We didn't waste the 30 min, we studied the menu and chose our foods…More »

was on my way to Amigos Tacos, but saw Sue's Kitchen, since it's been a year or so when I last visited Sue's, I make a sharp left, and there I entered...

Got there at 11am sharp for lunch, I was one of the three customers.

I wasn't sure of the process…More »

Almost 2-months had passed since i tasted dim sum...got my dim sum fix today.

I will give you a tip at no cost, arrive here around 11:30am, & you'll get seated right away. In case you worry that not enough variety is available before the crowd gets…More »

2.8 stars, rounded up to 3 stars. This review is for its dinner, not for its dim sum.

The atmosphere resembles many Cantonese restaurants - bright open space decent furnishing and with specials written on the walls. It was particularly noisy that…More »

in order for a place to get a 5-star rating, it has to be exceptionally good, not just scoring high on cost-performance.

China Place is a solid and honest place, but it is not exceptional. 4-stars for solid cost-performance and the ability to…More »

I acutally didn't know the name of what we've got here, but they were round mochi balls with size of a small fist that came with different flavors of fillings. Not very sweet, very delicious.

A good sign was that we came here in the evening hours…More »

Good vegtarian choices, talk with the waiter for his or her advice - think customisation.

Westernised El Chino food sucks big time, you won't find them fake chinese food at Chef Chen's. Everything tasted as if ya'll eating in Taipei.

There is only one…More »

My default place to buy deserts. Key is the un-sweeetness. American bakeries are all too sweet. Asian bakeries kick arse.

Soymilk aint bad either. Sliced breads are superb.

I absolutely enjoy having typical Taiwanese breakfast here on Saturday mornings. T's Boba does not have Monterey Park or SGV's quality or variety as far as Taiwanese food is concerned, but good enough for me and I don't have to drive an hour.

I am aligned with both Jennifer G. and Carol G. - there is room for improvement for its customer service.

This place is on my way home from either the 405 or the 110, hence, I kept returning...plus, the taro boba is pretty solid. I am able to…More »

Even though this place is about 45min away, I came here two times in two weeks. Both times the place was crowded, but for some reason, we never had to wait for too long to get seated. The customer throughput rate or gradient, I suppose, is pretty…More »

A little disappointed, not as good as the one in LA. But overall cost performance was excellent for all you can eat @ about 15$CND. The soymilk tasted funny, though.

I was not impressed. Had much better chinese noodle soup. Maybe I ordered the wrong item, I may give it another chance. Friend had wonton on peanut sauce, that was pretty tasty. Overall cost performance was not bad, hence, 3 stars.
