"I feel so lucky to live around the 626 area, there are so many delicious Taiwanese restaurants and Cozy Cafe is definitely one of them. It has been 10 years since I visited Cozy Cafe. Restaurant is now under new owner but the dishes are still very Taiwanese the se and the flavors are much better now! During COVID, many restaurant needs to raise the price to survive, but Cozy Cafe kept the same affordable pricing while the portion is still the same!Once you enter the store, you will see the refrigerator with over 30 side dishes, its hard to try them all at once... Its hard to find a Taiwanese Restaurant that sells so many kind of the side dishes. everyday in a very limited amount, if you wan to get them, make sure you call to reserve before they sold out at noon!I ordered Unagi Bento Box, Pork Chop Bento Box, Smoked Duck, Simmered Pork Shank, Fried Roll. Don't need to mention how delicious the unagi pork chop is! The side dishes that comes with the bento, minced pork vegetable is so good to go with the rice! DO NOT MISS the Smoked Duck Simmered Pork Shank, its super popular YUMYUM!!!Living in the Chinese district is really a blessing. There are many delicious Taiwanese restaurants nearby, and Da Guo Da is one of them! It has been 10 years since the last time I went to Da Guo Da. I was still a student at that time. Ten years later, Da Guo Da also changed hands to a new owner, but the taste of the table-style hometown remains the same, even better than before! During the epidemic, various restaurants have raised prices one after another, but the price of bento in a large pot is still affordable, and the dishes are rich and generous.There are nearly 30 different kinds of braised side dishes in the freezer for entry. It is not easy to try all of them overnight! It’s rare to find a store that sells such a complete range of braised side dishes. The boss said that each side dish is made fresh and limited on the day. Sometimes it’s sold out before noon in the morning. If you want to eat, you have to call early to make a reservation. Keep.This time I bought eel bento, pork ribs bento, smoked duck, pork feet, and chicken rolls. Let alone how delicious the main dishes in the bento are, the minced meat and sauerkraut as side dishes are already delicious. Really. It's too much to eat! The boss is super Buddha-minded, eel and ribs are thick and big, so the Buddha-hearted shop hopes to continue to operate continuously. The signature pork heel and smoked duck in the store are not covered either. I heard from the boss that these are very popular appetizers! The smoked duck is really delicious, you can't stop eating slice by slice, and the pig's feet are also delicious!-Fried Roll-Smoked Duck-Unagi Bento Box-Pork Chop Bento Box-Simmered Pork Shank"

"Awful!!!!! Flies and Uncooked Slimy Chicken!!!This restaurant deserves NO STAR!!. I came here with my family for dinner. There where flies everywhere. When we first walked in they sat us down by the counter area. We sat for a good 5 minutes and they took our order. Honestly it felt a-little rushed so we placed our order. On a scale from 1-10 on service I rate them a 3. service was terrible! My family and I love eating out and trying new places. This was a new spot for us plus we where excited to find a new spot to go to and possible invite our friends. My husband ordered there special drink of the day which was the Blackberry Frozen Margarita Drink!! Myself and the kids ordered Jarritos just to be on the safe side. My husband said and I quote That was hands down the worst drink of the day . He took one sip and said it was horrible. My husband kindly asked the waiter to remove the drink from the table. We are fruquent restaurant goers and we know great hospitality and this place had none. The waiter did not ask if something was wrong or if he would like to substitute the drink for another drink, They simple took the drink away while laughing stating awe, you don 't like it again still not offering an alternative. When we received our food I was expecting a clean plate with poblano chicken, rice and refried beans. When I was handed my food you can still see the slimy uncooked chicken skin and the inside of the chicken was extremely slimy and cold. My rice literally was lumps of rice some hard some soft. I work in the food industry and I 'm a firm believer of looks can be deceiving so I took two bites anyway. I regret those two bites I took. After 5 minutes my stomach started bubbling up and I instantly felt the urge to barf. I did not eat anything else I told me children not to eat the food to avoid them from getting sick. When the waitress asked for my husbands order he requested fish tacos, the waitress continued to asked how he would like the dish he said fried and she still came back with grilled tilapia fish. He did not like his food as well being he was not expecting the fish to be grilled on top of it they gave tilapia fish. Well at the end of our terrible experience we immediately asked for the receipt. They did not remove the drink from the receipt. When we told them you clearly took the drink back in it 's full glass why would you still charge the drink.they simple said all drinks are final . So I intervened and said well okay if all drinks are final then please remove my plate from the receipt due to the fact this chicken is not cooked at it 's full temperature of 165 degrees. The chicken was slimy and cold in the inside. so they immediately took the drink off and left the food on the receipt. I advise people not to eat here due to many code violations that I 've witnessed. Flies, uncooked food, raw foods."

"Limited by travel as of late I agreed to try a new place my husband found on Yelp for a late lunch. I ordered takeout, 4 different dishes just to try a few different items on the menu. I 'm not sure if this establishment has dine in option as I did not pickup the order. The Mofongo de chicharron, which was overall fine, the sauce has a lot of good flavors. However, I have to mention that at the center of the mofongo there was a large piece of pork skin that was not mashed that was over an inch long. I was reluctant to try to chew this piece but I gave it a go anyways. It took about 6 minutes to chew through it but I just ended up swallowing some pieces just to get it down. This large piece of skin also created a crater in the middle of the mofongo which made part of the mold hallow. Cutting the chicharron pieces into smaller pieces might have been better. Other than that there were good flavors, a good balance of chicharrones and plantains. The lunch specials on the menu indicate the entrees are served with white rice, mixed rice and salad, much to my family 's dismay they were not aware that salad meant pasta salad, so if you 're not a fan of mayonnaise based pasta salad I wouldn 't recommend it. The res guisado/beef stew and the rabo guisado/oxtail stew where practically identical, the portion of entree to sides are severely at an imbalance. You get a small scoop of the stew and the rest of the takeout box is filled with rice, pasta salad and wedged on top of your rice is a small condiment container of sauce that my family said was unidentifiable. The rabo guisado, as mentioned above looks identical to the res guisado with the addition of the small pieces of oxtail. We also had an order of chicharrones, it wasn 't bad it had good flavors, it was bit softer than I preferred but still had some crunch to the skin, not maximum crunch but some. Was the chicharrones worth $14? Sadly no. Would I give them another chance? Possibly, just for the mofongo, but that 's just a maybe."
