"Small Taiwanese restaurant/tea shop located next to grocery outlet and Bhanu Indian restaurant. There are only about seven small tables available so this is not a great place for larger groups. They are known for their fresh teas and Taiwanese food. Service is friendly and pretty quick, and they Chinese/Taiwanese music playing in the background.Food/Drinks: Jasmine Green Tea: I stuck with a plain jasmine green tea with less ice and less sugar. I asked for the less bitter choice between the jasmine green tea and assam black tea, and the server told me the jasmine green tea is less bitter. But I still felt that it was bitter and wasn't a huge fan. I think next time I'll try the Assam black tea. Popcorn chicken: My favorite item we tried. They make it with fresh basil and I really enjoyed eating the crispy basil leaves that came with the chicken. We got spicy level and wasn't that spicy. Came in a good sized portion to share. Basil chicken with lo mein: they called this 3 cup chicken (3 杯雞 but it does not taste like that. If anything, it taste more like a chicken and ginger stirfry with lots of green onions and some basil. But I really enjoyed the lo mein, which is stirfried with a caramelized onion sauce. Slightly sweet and savory. The Railroad pork: the pork chop is made with a garlic and ginger marinade. It is soft soft with a layer of breading, and we got it served over rice. I wasn't a fan of this, despite everyone's raving review, the race was a bit dry, and the pork chop is just standard to me. Comes with corn and veggies. Bringing takeout is easy because they serve you the food in the to go boxes already, so they just give you a lid and you're out the door. I think next time I might try the pork Katsu, braised pork, or beef noodle stew."

Credit card fee: 4%Beef noodle soup: Noodle texture didn’t hold up on the 20min drive. Broth heavy and rich. Decent but i advise don’t order as takeout, eat it there.

I got the braises railroad pork yum! So moist and delicious!! I also really liked the egg wrapped in green onion pancake! The yolk and pancake in the same bite was so good! Service was attentive and parking was easy!

This is my favorite spot for lunch whenever I’m in the area. Why? I can’t get enough of the basil chicken rice. It has all the key elements of a great Taiwanese dish: it’s freshly made, packed with garlic and green onions, and the fresh ginger pieces really elevate it. I give it 5 stars! View menu

Great Taiwanese lunch style boxes. They have amazing happy hour deals. Regular prices are around $10. Tea drink for around $5. Really good milk teas that have real tea flavor, unlike some places that taste more like sugar water. Service is also great and AC is super cold. Great for me, but my GF always brings a jacket to wear.

I haven't visited this restaurant in a while. I've noticed that the portion sizes have decreased, and the bento box used to include an egg, which is no longer the case. I ordered the railroad pork chop, and it was quite tasty. At the time of my visit, there was only one other table occupied. The service was good, and I'm interested in trying some of their drinks on my next visit.

My family has been coming here for over 10 years! We ordered takeout today and it was ready within 15 minutes. They have the best Taiwanese pork chop rice (The Railroad). The meat is soft and flavorful and definitely my favorite. I also love their lo mein which is a typical thin noodle with a green onion sauce. The popcorn chicken is also one of my favorites because of the thicker, fluffy exterior. I've had the basil chicken and sacha beef and they're fine too but would highly recommend trying The Railroad the most! View menu

*3/3/23 UPDATE*Picked up a stewed pork chop bento today aka 'Railroad bento '. OMG it really hit the spot, leaving me hungry for more. I could probably eat this stuff 3x a week it 's that good! The XX Large pork chop is marinated in Chinese herbs and spices and stewed to perfection. The fried version is also excellent, not dry or overcooked. *Original Review*Current #1 Taiwanese pork chop bento in the 626. If you ever go to 99 Ranch Market and see their lunch boxes under a heat lamp, don 't waste your money on those they 're no bueno. Glad I checked out this new restaurant, will try their drinks next time.

Decided to check out Why Thirsty while I was in the area and got their braised pork chop with rice (also called The Railroad $13) togo. There's a good amount of parking in the plaza and ordering for takeout was reasonably quick 10min.Honestly, I was really surprised at the amount of food and how soft the braised pork chop was. The flavors of the braised pork seemed pretty traditional not overpowering but still tasty. When paired with the rest of the side dishes, which included corn scrambled eggs, steamed cabbage broccoli, and half a braised egg, the overall meal felt pretty well balanced (not going to put you in a food coma lol).Considering the large portions and decent price, I don't think...
