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.

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.

Katsu Sando@San Gabriel ★★★

Katsu Sandwich by Daniel Son. (Sushi Sonagi) Snow Crab Korokke Roll with 3 kinds of Tobiko was amazing. Pork Katsu was thick, tender, and juicy. Crispy on the outside. Great with curry. Corn Potage (Japanese Corn Soup) was great. They have shaved ice with Kuramoto Ice from Japan seasonally. Would love to try next time when available. Cute mini-mart corner. Bottled Green Tea $3.95. Free limited parking in lot.

Gamjatop@San Gabriel ★

Nice Korean Spot. Gamjatang – Spicy Pork Backbone Soup, is their signature dish. Cooks in 5 minutes. The Sujebi noodles (big flat pieces) is popular, but the portion is small. Perilla Oil Noodles are a bit pricey and took forever to come out, but the taste is nice and interesting. It;s addicting. Dining there comes with 4 variety of banchan. They were small but have unlimited refills. We must have refilled 5 times. My favorite Banchan was the Crispy Class Noodles with Mayo, but the Mayo mixture was not consistent. One of them only had few glass noodles soaked in overflowing heavy mayo dressing. Rice Pop Ice Cream was nice. Could get pricey, but Korean food has been getting pricey in general. Their Raw Soy Marinated Crab ($43.99 single serving) and Raw Soy Marinated Shrimp ($14.99 4 pieces) seemed a bit pricey, looked interesting, but they were sold out of it. Free parking in lot.

Cozy Authentic Taiwanese Cafe. 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. Amazed by the attentiveness of the servers in the cafe. Been in love with their Noodle Soup with Thick Clear Noodles since my college time. You can choose different noodles and toppings. Satay Udon Soup could get oily sometimes. Have communal condiments in the back. Chicken Nuggets are Popcorn Chicken in generous portion. Boba Milk Tea is usually on the sweet side, so I recommend requesting 50% sweetness instead. The only downside is that their MSG is a bit heavy, so make sure to drink lots of water to keep hydrated. Mark on their paper menu to order. Best to come when they open to avoid the wait. Free parking in lot.

Yelp Elite: Cheers Bar & Grill@San Gabriel ★

Yelp Elite Perk: Free Margarita + BBQ Chicken Pizza. Also got a free drawstring bag from the perk. Thanks to this Yelp Elite Perk, or else I would have never found this place in the San Gabriel Valley. A bar with nightlife ambience – with karaoke stage, pool table, and couches. Decent food & drinks. Margarita was nice and refreshing. BBQ Chicken Pizza and Cheesy Tots were tasty and up to standards. The oil-absorbent paper they used was cute with comic strips (eg. Garfield) printed on it. Bartender George was nice and friendly. They also have bottomless Mimosa on Sunday from 11am - 2pm. Street or lot parking.

Watermelon Margarita (originally $12)

Hand Tossed BBQ Chicken Pizza (originally $17)
chicken breast, caramelized onions, yellow peppers, cilantro

Cheesy Tots $12
