Golden Leaf Restaurant

Authentic Taiwanese food. Loved the Pork over rice (Lou rou fan) and the oyster pancake.

Tight quarters, but cozy Taiwanese food will be sure to draw you in. The restaurant packs your traditional Taiwanese dishes (minced pork and rice, pork belly, various noodle soups) and will boast a healthy line during eating hours.

The portions are a bit in the smaller side, and parking can be limited in the lot (but easy to find in the surrounding neighborhood).

I found out to come as early as 5pm or later at 830pm then there is usually no wait for the seats. Otherwise it's very crowded and even you get the seat you still feel the stress of rushing to finish your meal cause you know somebody else is waiting.
Their intestine vermicelli noodles ($5.75) plus oysters ($3) is no doubt the BEST in town and it's for dinner only so make sure if you're coming at a dinner time do not miss it!!!!

We came here tonight and got three classic Taiwanese dishes - popcorn chicken, oyster pancake, and oyster and intestine vermicelli soup. The vermicelli soup has to be some of the most authentic you can get in the San Gabriel valley. The popcorn chicken and oyster pancake, however, are not as stellar. Popcorn chicken had zero crisp, but lighter flavor and a consistently tender middle. Oyster pancake used an unorthodox vegetable in its composition, and the sauce was a fermented bean instead of the more traditional tonkotsu style sauce. I'd suggest coming here only for the soup, but be prepared to wait a while; they're pretty popular and possibly short staffed.
