讚！美味的客家菜一抹鄉愁！餐後再奌亇粉果挫冰，実在太完美了
Dried Shrimp fried rice pretty good, there is shrimps in every bite. Pig intestines with pork blood cubes very delicious and I like the pickled vege and tofu. Three cup fried tofu is amazingly flavorful best to eat with rice
Super authentic Taiwan cuisine that transports you to Taiwan. From the decor, to the crowded dining room, to the server manners, it's as authentic as it gets in Pleasanton thanks to the owners being from Taiwan. Ordered some traditional dishes and everything was cooked to what you would expect a local restaurant in Taiwan. For me the fried noodles was a touch below in quality due to the noodle texture not being quite on par with the best of the best. Menu prices are also more expensive than what I was expecting for the amount of food and they only accept CASH which is very inconvenient.
GOOD FOOD 👍 , EXCELENT LOCATION AND PRICES. CASH ONLY ...
BIG MENU... A LOT A SELECCION, FROM TOFU , CHOW MAIN... plus
Lots of parking spaces.
A hidden gem! If you can wait a little bit during busy lunch hours, this is a great little family-run restaurant. Today, about 60% of the customers were speaking Taiwanese. The Taiwanese family next to us drove 50 minutes from Brentwood to eat here. For our first try, we ordered "safer" Americanized beef with broccoli along with sweet and spicy Szechuan fish filet. Both were excellent (repeatable)! The beef was tender and fish cooked perfectly with a touch of wine. Price for two lunch specials with tips came to around $20, a great value for the portions, especially for the TriValley. Good-bye, Panda Express!
Love the food here. But cash only which is really annoying.
Edit: no air conditioner, avoid visit in hot weather!
Great authentic Taiwanese restaurant! Ordered the beef noodle soup and it was delicious! It had a hint of spicy but not too much. The noodles were also just right, I just can't place a finger on the type of noodles used. Service was great, probably because I spoke Chinese with the waitress. Cash only.
Although closed on Mondays, but if the Monday is a holiday, they're open and will close the following day instead.
For authentic Taiwanese (or Chinese) food, this is the place to go!! The owner is this old, nice lady who always wears her kitchen apron. The place is quaint and cozy, and it's cash only. There's usually 1 (at most 2) server, so when it gets busy, there's a slight wait. The price and food portions are decent. We enjoy ordering food here (1-2x a wk). It's closed on Mon. It's honestly one of the best authentic and well rounded Taiwanese food you can get in the Bay area. (The next best authentic Taiwanese place elsewhere in CA is L.A.)
Great place. Not many Taiwanese restaurant has this many choices. We ordered four different dishes and they are all just as good than the ones in Taiwan. Friendly staff. Will come again.
Cafe Taiwan is pretty authentic as far as Taiwanese goes. My recommendations would be their Spicy pork intestine and pig blood stew, stir fry vegetable any kind, deep fried tofu, and three cup chicken. I did order their fried chicken bento box but it wasn't what I expected. Normally, that usually comes with a deep fried chicken drumstick but instead, they gave me deep fried diced chicken. The flavor is also more similar to street deep fried chicken than the chicken over rice bento style.
I wish they serve stinky tofu and sticky rice sausage! That would be on my wish list for Cafe Taiwan.
What I do love the most is their friendliness. The grandma behind the counter gave my son some snacks to go for no reason! This is true Taiwanese hospitality.
Cafe Taiwan is so good! I love how they have some Hakka dishes. My dad's side is Hakka but I never really knew anything about it. I would definitely recommend the Taiwanese sausages and Hakka dumplings!
Amazing authentic Taiwanese food. (As said by other Taiwanese people at my table, I'm not exactly taiwanese!)
Everything that we decided to order for our party of 8 were either great choices or this restaurant just hS consistently good food. The big bowls of beef noodles were well flavored without the lingering taste of msg and fat. Fried oyster cake (forgot the name) came out crispy on the edges and almost creamy on the inside, absolutely delicious.
I would describe the service as quick and intimate. Will definitely come back for another meal soon

Cafe Taiwan came highly recommended by a Taiwanese friend. Besides the usual Chinese Cuisine (in the Cantonese style), it's well-known for their Taiwanese home cooking style.
This 'hole-in-wall' is small and gets filled up fast. Lots of families come here to eat. Just two ladies work the front so when this place gets busy plus people ordering take out, the service and food come out slowly. But that's okay because once your food hits the table you will be enjoying your time eating.
The older lady came and immediately started speaking Taiwanese /Mandarin to us (we both are Cantonese) so that was a good sign we blended well here.
For two people, we looked at our iPhones and ordered from the Taiwanese side (Hakka) of the menu. We were not disappointed at all! Definitely would order every thing again! Hakka Dumplings (it's a soup with savory ground pork in a mochi dumpling and green veggies - would order it again in a heartbeat), Hakka Braised Pork (braised pork belly with stir fried green veggies), Ground Pork Over Rice Bowl (ground pork, pickled cabbage, half a Taiwanese Soy Sauce Egg (good 5 spice flavor) over rice), Snow Cabbage with Rice Cake (cabbage, pork, veggie and rice cake noodle), and Spicy Beef Noodle Soup (savory with the right amount of spice and heat. Very tender beef chuck roast stew meat, some kind of noodle, veggies).
Unfortunately, no diaper changing table in the women's restroom (and none at the McDonalds and the gas station that share the same strip mall complex). They do have one high chair to use.
Value for the money, decent portion sizes. We had plenty of leftovers from our 5 dishes. Cash Only. Their simply divine house tea is very fragrant jasmine.
Not easy to see from the street - turn on your Google Maps. It's in the middle of nowhere in Pleasanton. But definitely worth the drive if you love or miss eating great Taiwanese Comfort Food.
Food is AMAZING and at a great price for the quantity! Really reminds me of food in Taiwan. Very traditional and would 10/10 recommend!
was stopping by close from the outlets and discovered this gem! Authentic Taiwanese food and best service. The restraunt felt like home and everyone's very welcoming. Will definitely come again!
Excellent authentic Taiwanese food. Friendly service. Be aware that it is cash only and take away only.
