This place lets you order online and pickup only. No inside dining. The purple rice burritos are well made, tasty and authentic. The black soy milk, although advertised as slightly sweet but it is sweeter than I have anticipated. Parking would be challenging. Either one park at nearby capelo's which has excellent bbq or keep the blinkers on and park in front of the building.vThe purple rice dumplings are cheap, good quality and authentic. The black soy milk (slightly sweet) is a little too sweet in my opinion.

Came here for the rice rolls/rice burritos and was def not disappointed! Got the Sticky Rice roll with braised pork, purple sticky rice roll with pork floss, and the sweetened black bean soy milk. The pork floss roll was my favorite. Wasn't a huge fan of the soy milk.Parking: Getting here and parking was definitely a challenge. My tip is to not turn down McArthur. The street is narrow and congested since there's a car repair shop next door so there are cars constantly being moved around. There's no point in trying to park infront of the pick up window since there's only space enough to fit 1 car in their driveway and then good luck backing out. Turning down either Douglas or Hurlingame is a better bet for parking and then it's a quick walk over.

I had the purple rice braised pork roll. The fried dough in it was too greasy. The mustard greens were good but the pork lacked flavor. Overall not very great, but not completely terrible. Located in a ghost kitchen.

I went to this place knowing this would be a spot to order and pickup food but it turns out there’s no physical spot at all. There’s no place to park either. It turned out I had to place order on my phone and wait at the waiting spot in cold wind for over half an hour for the food to be delivered to that specific pickup spot. This is insane. I’ve never had this bad experience before. I almost thought this was a scam until I saw another person also waiting there looking all confused. Then I hoped at least the food please be good but it turned out that the food was not good at all. The fried chicken cutlet was not even comparable with the other Taiwanese places in the Bay Area. I would stay away from this place at all cost.

The food is not authentic taiwanese food. Waited outside 35mins in the dark and cold night for a to-go order. It’s not a real restaurant, and there is no seating/waiting area, no parking and even nobody there to help with the order!!

Just got back from Taiwan and was missing my 飯團。 I happened to be in Redwood City so found the place on Google. I was very surprised to find a food establishment that is between all these auto collision and hauling businesses. I wasn’t sure I was going into the right place because nowhere on the façade did it say it was called taiwanese eats. Luckily, someone appeared at the window right away and told me that I needed to order first. I ordered two rice burritos for $7 each and could only finish one. The glutenous rice was delicious and the fish (魚鬆） and boiled egg inside was excellent as well. I will definitely be going back when I’m in the area. Lucky for me, I have another rice burrito to eat later tonight.

This place is a ghost kitchen. Super slow - didn't get my order until 15 minutes after my estimated pickup time. Their tip system sucks too. Automatic tip added for pickup, and for this service? horrible.

The wrap was really good, I enjoyed it a lot but the rice can be more compact since the protein and veggies inside keeps falling. But the flavors are great overall. However, the wait time is so long and they are very slow in getting the order ready. I would recommend ordering the food at least 25 minutes before getting it.

Best to pre-order and have a runner pick up. Parking is not available in the AM and many are double parked blocking the narrow road. Food was ok but their QR system order update was lacking real-time update. I had to wait a long time for 2 things. Not sure if I would come back based on the experience.
I was super excited when Taiwanese Eats opened because it's so hard to find fantuans on the Peninsula, especially on weekdays. Growing up in the 626 area, fantuans were a staple and it is one of the items I miss the most. I tried Taiwanese Eats when they first opened and have ordered many more times since. Happy to report that their fantuans are consistently good, and definitely one of the best I've had in the Bay. I've tried a few different variations of their rice burrito, and they've all been excellent. My personal favorite is the original with pork floss. The only annoying thing is that it is in a Doordash kitchen and the parking situation is pretty terrible. I often order it delivered just because I don't want to deal with the parking there.

So glad to have found this new breakkie spot on insta! Ambiance was similar to a ghost kitchen with a pick up window. I recommend ordering ahead online so you wouldn't need to wait in person. We decided on the purple sticky rice with braised pork, pork floss, marinated egg, Chinese fried dough and mustard greens as well as added on a black soy milk. The sticky rice roll was delicious and we ate it within 5 minutes. Personally was not a fan of the black soy milk because it tasted a bit burnt but overall a good experience and would definitely come back to try their other rice rolls next time.

I ordered black bean soy milk, sticky rice rolls and a braised pork rice bento Box. Tasted good but be aware that it's hard to park the car around there.

I've been eyeing Taiwanese Eats and we finally tried them. Why have I waited this long? Everything was good and reasonably priced. We especially loved the Purple Sticky Rice Roll with Pork Floss 原味紫米飯糰 and the regular soy milk. The black bean soy milk felt more watery and we both preferred the regular soy milk. We had ordered through Taiwanese Eats' site and drove up to an industrial looking lot to pick up. They share a kitchen with some others; upon arriving, I ran the bell and someone promptly brought out the order. We'll be back!

Order: * Original Sticky Rice Roll with Pork Floss Pros: * Perfect mix of flavors and textures, each ingredient prepared just right. * Size of burrito satisfies me and should satisfy anyone's hunger. * Ordering is easy and consistently punctual. Cons: * Note, this is a ghost kitchen. Parking is very limited in a residential area. Most people double park for pickup. Comments: * I've ordered this and the purple rice version many times and it's always consistently good. I wish they had a retail shop closer to me so I could buy them more often.
