The Taiwanese stinky tofu with unique sauce is delicious, and the sour-flavored vegetables are also delicious. In addition, there are Taiwan-style braised pork rice and Taiwan-style meatball noodles, which are also delicious. During the epidemic, they all eat outdoors, and the store is not open. The overall sanitation environment is very ordinary, and the location is relatively remote.

This has been my go-to comfort food spot whenever I miss home. The 香菇滷肉飯 (mushroom braised pork rice), 雞排飯 (baked bonless chicken rice), and 米糕 (mi kao) are all tasty—portions are just right. If you’re a fan of stinky tofu, it’s a must-try here too. Definitely worth visiting!

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 priced well.

Good food, Local restaurant, and Authentic. I came across Tofu King because of Stinky Tofu! During my trip in LA, I'd talked to my GF and I mentioned that I wanted to have stinky tofu like Taiwan so bad then she said, there is one place in LA that served good stinky tofu (Chow-To-Fu). So here we go! While I parked the car, I can smelled something smelly but saliva drooling...It's stinky tofu smell! Stinky Tofu was very good, probably the best that I had so far in these couple years. It's not so smelly, but tasty and still juicy and grabbed Taiwanese sausage with sticky rice, and minced pork over rice back home. Overall, I'm so impressed with the level of flavor. As you may know Taiwanese cuisine was very simple, and neutral taste tendency so Tofu King was like that kind of. I'll definitely come back again next time when I visit LA. See you later!

Hole in the wall kind of place that doesn't disappoint! I was born in Taiwan and grew up all the Taiwanese Nightmarket delights. This was a great find and totally hit the spot!!! If you are in the area and you are into Taiwanese dish, you can't go wrong here.

Amazing Taiwanese street food restaurant! The flavor was authentic. Stinky tofu was really good with the cabbage. Wan quei was soft and smooth. The minced pork rice was really good, just like what you will taste in a local small restaurant in Taiwan. I will recommend this place to my friends and family who love Taiwanese food.

As a Taiwanese, I highly recommend their stinky tofu 臭豆腐 (all 3 kinds including 麻辣臭豆腐 & 一口香). Every time when traveling down to SoCal, we must visit the place to enjoy my hometown taste. Other than stinky tofu, their minced pork rice is so far the best I’ve ever had in US (didn’t order this time; so no picture)

Small shop owned by a friendly Taiwanese owner. I always come here for the stinky tofu. I personally would like the beef noodle soup to be less sweet and the noodles to be less soft, but it still tastes good!
