Yi Mei: Discover Authentic Taiwanese Breakfast & Brunch in Monrovia

Really solid Taiwanese food at affordable prices! I really like the turnip cakes and the rice dishes.

One of the favorite Taiwanese restaurants for the locals here. Many of my Taiwanese friends who visit LA would make a special trip to come here to eat. During the pandemic, they only offer take out service. To facilitate the ordering process, you can order online or call in your order. They offer all of my favorite Taiwanese food here especially breakfast items. The rice rolls are excellent and authentic. I particularly like their sesame flatbread with eggs. This breakfast item is crispy and nutritious. I also like their Hot soy milk. For many Chinese, this is a morning stable drink. Every time I come here, I have to have a soy milk drink. Yi MEI has done a good job on this drink. Fried dough goes well with the soy milk drink too. Lunch dishes are good too. They have probably one of the best noodles in town. My favorite is their pig feet noodle. The pig feet are tender and flavorful. The soup is heavenly and reminds me of the good food I had when I visited Taiwan. Set lunch plates are also offered during lunch time. The plates include many famous Taiwanese dishes such as minced pork rice and Taiwanese sausages rice. For those of you want to have their frozen item, they have frozen pork dumplings and pot stickers. In the refrigerator, you can get cold drinks as well.

Love Taiwanese breakfast! I had a Danbing 蛋餅, a radish cake and a shaving 燒餅 with egg. I also ordered soy milk. Super recommend!

Really missed Taiwanese breakfast! The meatball and rice bowl were very authentic . The salty soy milk wasn’t quite what I expected — not the same as back home.

Nice and casual spot for breakfast, offering lots of Taiwanese classic foods. The items are simple and made well. Open early so popular for breakfast. You order at the counter or on their website and the food comes out quickly. Staff are friendly and all of the utensils are disposable for quick dining.

If you've ever been to Taiwan, this place serves many of the tradition Taiwanese breakfast dishes. They have the salty soy milk with Chinese donut dish, a dish I can't seem to find at other places in LA. Enjoyed all the dishes. Not required but leave some tip after eating. The dishes are really affordable. Come in for breakfast.

Call ahead place order. Can be long wait at times when busy

This place might be a sleeper but their broth in the beef noodle soup is some of the best I have ever had. Their egg pancake is awesome and xlb dumplings were great too. Would highly recommend this place, not much seating so you might want to do to go if you can’t get seats. Prices are so fair too.
