Yung Ho Cafe

Yung Ho makes me wish I lived in LA. A great Taiwanese breakfast place. Prices are reasonable. Their you tiao is HUGE and fluffy. Dip in their Northern style salty tofu, it’s like a match made in heaven. Order via a QR code located on the tissue holder. Everyone at that table on separate devices can add to the same bill. Highly recommend this breakfast place. Maybe top two Taiwanese breakfast places on the east and west coast for me!

Yungho Cafe was a bit of disappointment. We drove from San Diego to San Gabriel to try out this Taiwanese cafe for their breakfast items. This is a no frills cafe. You have to order your food at the cashier counter and have to find your own table and when food is ready, they will bring it out to your table. Cashier spoke mandarin with broken English so there’s a bit of slight language barrier to communicate when we ordered. We ordered: ginger peanut soy bean tofu, porridge with preserved eggs and pork, braised minced pork with rice and marinated egg and black sesame soy bean milk soup. The only dish we really enjoyed eating was the braised minced pork with rice and egg. Big disappointment was the chef specialty dish, black sesame soy bean milk soup which was bland, watery and not enough sesame in the dish. Porridge was decent and the ginger peanut soy bean tofu was served lukewarm at best with little gingery taste and this dish got spoiled very fast, so the tofu was probably was not made fresh. Pricing was budget friendly but food quality was subpar. We won’t be back.

Very expensive for what you get. Ordered a small minced meat rice bowl for $7, it literally came in a rice bowl. They have a sign on the wall with some saying that it's affordable. Lies!

Open at 7.30AM and we arrived at 8 AM after ordered the preserved egg congee, salty tofu pudding, twister roll (forgot the name) and Oyster omelette (delicious) the people are getting in and on the line. For me. The the sweet pudding tofu is more better.

Love this place! Their service is quick and the food is delicious! The food taste so fresh and not greasy. The server told us the chefs wake up at 4am and start cooking so everything you eat is made fresh daily. We got their sweet tofu soup (made with ginger and peanuts, not sweet), the salty tofu soup (wasn't salty), the Chinese donut, egg onion pancake, the leak turnover(looks like an empanada has egg leak and green onion inside), and the beef roll. We also got their house made pastry to go. Servers are friendly and accommodating. Although this is a Mandarin speaking restaurant/community, they do speak English. So don't be shy and stop by.

LOVE this place! So many choices on their menu, so far all we had was very delicious! We are vegetarians who don’t eat garlic and onion, and we were surprised by how many vegetarian items they have, or if they don’t, they will accommodate. Very good service by the servers here, and always have positive energy. I can see why they are so busy! You won’t regret coming here!

Not sure why this places gets so little love as the food is very above average and the service is quick and efficient. Definitely come for the youtiao. The soy milk is a little disappointing as the soy bean flavor isn’t very present but still a pleasant drink. Portions are fairly generous but a little bit pricier than some of their competition. If you’re missing Taiwanese breakfast, this is definitely a good choice.

Craving for Chinese Cruellers on a Sunday morning and came to this restaurant to order takeout. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They spoke Mandarin but switched over to English when we spoke to them in English. They call it Twisted Cruellers there. They came out beautiful and still hot. 16” long!!Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside just like I remember them in my childhood. On the way out, saw some Freshly made mochi with sesame that looked yummy. Next time.
