"After several years as a takeout-only operation, this classic Taiwanese breakfast spot in Monterey Park reopened its dining room and brought back one of the most charming places to spend a morning in the SGV. The diner-esque space oozes comfort from every corner, complete with grumpy old men reading the newspaper and food that hits your table quickly. Get the fan tuan if it’s your first time, a sticky rice burrito of sorts stuffed with eggs, pickles, and fried dough, plus the pan-fried omelet wrapped in a thin, crepe-like pancake and a beef roll with pickled greens for good measure. Wash it down with a bowl of fresh soy milk, available sweet or salty (we usually go sweet to balance out the savory)." - Brant Cox
