Half & Half Good Old Time Cafe@San Gabriel ★

Cozy Authentic Taiwanese Cafe. Fast food restaurant with good pricing. Affordable Boba. $6.58 for Minced Pork Rice is a good deal, but you may want to order some sides. Chicken Nuggets (Popcorn Chicken) were delicious. Communal condiments in the back. Boba Milk Tea is usually on the sweet side, so I recommend requesting 50% sweetness instead. Seating is not that comfortable, but the cafés in Taiwan are like that. Mark on their menu to order. Pay with cash or 3.5% fee with credit card. Same plaza and Katsu Sando. Free very limited parking in lot or street parking.

Minced Pork Pickle Rice $6.58

Chicken Nuggets $9.98

Milk w/ Honey Boba $4.88, Osmanthus Black Tea w/ Grass Jelly $4.38

Half & Half Good Old Time Cafe@San Gabriel ★★★

Cozy Authentic Taiwanese Cafe. Fast food restaurant with good pricing. Affordable Boba. I actually prefer Half & Half over the 2-Michelin-star-restaurant Kato in terms of price-worth and service. It's 1/10 of Kato's price with better service. Been in love with their Noodle Soup with Thick Clear Noodles since my college time. You can choose different noodles and toppings. Have communal condiments in the back. Chicken Nuggets (Popcorn Chicken) were delicious but very oily. Boba Milk Tea is usually on the sweet side, so I recommend requesting 50% sweetness instead. Mark on their menu to order. They did raised their prices since last year. Same plaza and Katsu Sando. Free limited parking in lot or street parking.

Finally tried dinner there. The Chinese Herb and Soy Sauce Boiled Dish Combo with Clear Noodles is really good. The Buttermilk Fried Chicken smells so good with the buttermilk, but I waited for one hour for that dish. They said it takes some time to fry the chicken… it's worth the wait though. On top of the buttermilk, you dip the fried chicken into Japanese mayo and a special sauce. You don't always have to get super rich filling drinks at Half and Half. I have discovered that their #10 Grapefruit Green Tea with Lychee Jelly is light and tastes really good too.
