“ I am a regular there. My favorite dish of all time was the "五更腸旺"，we all agree this dish is the best in town. I also recommend the 美極三文魚 salmon, the 3 cups chicken, the special seasonal 龍鬚菜 veggies. Parking is easy, the staff was nice. They only have 1 big table for 12, and may be 8 tables for 4 ppl. So I order togo most of the time, and I would go during lunch which is not as busy. ”

“ An excellent place for Taiwanese food, love their fried fish and many other dishes. Little small place, so if big party better make a reservation. Also some special dishes are available if you ordered couple days ahead ”

“ 3.5-4 stars I have passed by Java Cafe countless times over the past few decades but never tried it until this past week. They are located across the street from Boomers Parks (previously Speed Zone, and pre-previously Showboat). Java Cafe always felt so ambiguous to me and I never would have thought it was Taiwanese food until a friend mentioned it to me. We have heard great things about the dishes from many Taiwanese friends. I grabbed a physical paper menu earlier this week, and after looking through the entire menu, we decided on 2 entrees to try first. I phoned in an order and it was ready within 15 minutes! Lunch Menu Complimentary stewed peanuts appetizer Chicken w/ Sesame Oil & Soy Sauce (Three Cup Basil Chicken) $15.95 Shredded Pork w/ Dry Bean Curd $15.95 Front the outside, I seriously thought that the restaurant was bigger than it looked. It is quite small, and a bit cramped on the inside. There are only a few tables, including a "party" room that is a bit separated off. The biggest pet peeve were the containers were a bit shallow and both the entrees had sauces (the chicken more than the shredded pork), which actually spilled all over the bag, and into my car as well. Without the sauce, the Basil Chicken was quite dry and this dish is all about the sauce, especially over the rice. Sadness. In the past, when we ordered Basil Chicken from other restaurants, they were in tubs with lids so the sauce would not spill out. There were also lots of bits and pieces of chicken bone everywhere so eat with caution. As this was the lunch menu, both dishes came with 2 "bowls" of rice as well, which is convenient for on the go lunch. The Shredded Pork w/ Dry Bean Curd was a bit on the dry side. There were lots of dry bean curd than shredded pork, thus the reason why it was more on the dry side. Make note that they are closed every day from 2:30-5 pm for an afternoon break. Overall, flavors are good. Prices are a bit high for what it is, but there are not that many Taiwanese 小吃 places around here anymore, so hope that they continue to thrive. Parking lot is a bit small as well, so one may need to park a bit further if the plaza is busy. ”

“ Authentic Taiwanese cuisine . Love almost all dishes. Can't go back enough. Small family restaurant with excellent service ”

“ Very authentic Taiwanese restaurant. We ordered quite a few dishes and all of them were really good (and this is coming from someone who has been spoiled by all the good food options available in LA) I am not sure why there are so many one star ratings for the bad service, because we thought the waiters were quite attentive and welcoming. The food came very quickly as well. Definitely will be coming back for more. ”

“ Food: 4/5 Classic Taiwanese cafe vibes, the food is one of the better Taiwanese lunch spots in the area. Always recommend stinky tofu if you can try it. (It smells worse than it tastes) Services: 4/5 They are a small cafe restaurant run by a couple of older Asian grandparents. A little slow, a little nonchalant, but that's how you know they've been serving for years. Ambience: 3/5 Like I said, small Taiwanese restaurant. Most people are genuinely there for the food ”

“ Absolutely love this restaurant! The food is incredibly delicious, delivering an authentic taste of Taiwan. Despite its small size and simple decor, the cozy ambiance adds to its charm. The staff is exceptionally friendly, providing top-notch service. A bonus is the complimentary hot tea that truly warms the heart. It's not just a meal; it's an experience filled with flavors and warmth. Free parking and easy to find parking. This place is across from Boomers. ”

“ Food - pretty much best for the price in this category IMO but I can't give them a 5 since they still have variable in their quality Service - they need to make sure each table is covered or at least check few times, lots of times I see customers look around try to find waitresses but has to wait long time to get served Ambiance- dinning area is small so you need to get there early to secure a table or make reservations, it doesn't look fancy or even look shabby compare to other places but it reminds me of Taiwan so I can give it a 3 loll ”
