Love the mapo tots - Edit
I love their mapo tots and appreciate the nondairy milk options. Also really like that the menu is constantly changing with seasonal items!

Excellent beverages - Edit
Creative drink menu. Some are seasonal. Non dairy milk options are available. My go tos are the hojicha latte, hey sesame milk, and strawberry milk. I love all the drinks I’ve tried so it’s always a difficult decision. There’s limited seating both inside and out and parking can be tricky.

Taiwanese Vegan Options - Edit
I can't believe I have yet to try Wong Fu's cafe until now, even after having lived in LA during their golden age of content creation.
Read moreThe phonetically named 'Bopomofo' Cafe offers a great mix of boba and hearty Taiwanese snacks that made this an exciting visit. For my fellow vegan/plant-forward friends, their Mapo Tots (no cheese) ($14) and Soy Popcorn Chicken ($14) are two staples that should be added to your eating arsenal.
The tots are just as you'd expect with the spicy mapo flavor going really well over the potato pockets, and the soy meat karaage essentially reminded me of all the spots I ate in Japan that offered this selection. Sauce wise - only ketchup is vegan but it doesn't make or break the dish at all.
For my drink, I ordered a Guava Matcha Milk Tea with Boba and it was fantastic. Oat milk as a non-dairy substitution is offered at no additional cost which is how it should be everywhere. I loved my drink for it's actual half-sweetness, chewy boba, and perfect blend of matcha.
Note: restaurant gets packed and the layout makes it a bit tight when you're in line waiting to place your order. If you're arriving for lunch with a party, I recommend having someone go in to wait in line or claim one of the few tables inside.
Free parking is available in the plaza's lot or on the streets if the lot is full.
Pros: Vegan friendly snack items, Drinks are made with real ingredients
