"A modest little restaurant in Fremont, 19 Gold is a busy destination for Taiwanese food and bubble tea. The braised combination platters are a good place to start, featuring duck wings and pork intestines, but the main draw is the malatang bowls. These feature 19 different spices — hence the name of the restaurant — and you can order them with meat, seafood, vegetables, dumplings, and even udon noodles. Unsurprisingly, 19 Gold is also a perfect place to sample the national dish of Taiwan: a beef noodle soup with a rich bone marrow base and a slightly spicy kick. But, surprisingly and perhaps best of all, the minced pork over rice or noodles is seemingly simple but spectacular." - Jay Friedman
"This pint-sized Taiwanese restaurant is regularly filled with diners eating dishes like crunchy garlic green beans, flavorful popcorn chicken, and braised beef shank sipping on boba tea. 19 GOLD also serves several excellent versions of malatang, a spicy Chinese soup bowl with ingredients like lotus root, shell-on shrimp, fish cakes, sliced beef." - Harry Cheadle
"This pint-sized Taiwanese restaurant in Fremont serves some of the best popcorn chicken in the city — just the right amount of sweet, salty, and savory — topped with crispy fried basil leaves. You can order the chicken on its own, atop fries and drizzled with sauce, or with fatty braised pork rice, salted cabbage, and a marinated egg as an entree." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart

"Starting out as an online catering service, the Fremont restaurant features Taiwanese malatang, but also offers an extensive selection of milk and fruit teas. Diners will find classics like winter melon juice and cheese cream teas, along with rarer items like peach oolong milk tea and Japanese twice-roasted milk tea. Orders for takeout and delivery can be made via the website, and there’s limited indoor dining." - Ryan Lee
