Hanlin Tea Room - Rowland Heights

Their personal hotpot is one of the best I've had! What makes it so yummy is the broth rich, clean, and super flavorful. The ingredients are able to absorb all of its yummy goodness. The amount of food is substantial, and it comes out fairly quick. We also tried some of the other items on their menu, and everything tastes fairly authentically Taiwanese. You order via a QR code at the table and pay up at the register. Service is quick and efficient. There is plenty of parking in the parking lot. Will definitely be back!

I enjoyed this place and the panda boba was sa bomb. I'd be back if I'm around the area

One extra star for service, which was not bad, pretty courteous Came here for lunch, daughter ordered shrimp fried rice. picture in ordering system looked really good, tho expensive for fried rice imo but inflation these days so guess it 's becoming somewhat normal. However when the actual fried rice came, I was just laughing in my head. The whole portion was like the size of my daughters palm. For $12? No thx. Talked to couple of their servers and they both resorts to their leader for my curiosity in essentially false advertisement. One came back and politely said they can take it back, which was fine with me, no way paying what looks like double of what was served. Boba was good, which I also got, so credit is given where is due but I know inflation is bad just this shrinkflation for this order is ridiculous in my opinion. Judge for urselves, u have been warned, I m taking my biz somewhere else

During covid and the constant promotions from uber eats and postmates, this place was one of my go to's for delivery order eating at home. I got to say i prefer this place over boiling point. Their individual hot pot meals were so good and spiced just right. A mild is actually mild unlike Boiling point which varies time to time on their spiciness level for a mild. There dipping sauce is also good which consist of a sesame sauce and a sweet soy based sauce. They also offer other main entrees and sides. I have ordered there oyster omelettes which is large enough to split into 2 portions. The oysters are generous in quantity and the traditional red omelette sauce is perfectly sweet to counter balance the saltiness and the oyster flavor.The taiwanese sausage with the sticky rice hot dog combo is delicious as well. I would wish they had it made it like Taiwan where the sausage is actually placed inside the sticky rice like they do in Taiwan, but it will do. I also got an opportunity to dine-in and the service was good enough for a tea shop. It was attentive and it was not difficult to get services from the waitress. The place is clean and the tea choices are a plenty and great as well. I don't do boba, so i do not know how the quality of their boba are. This place has something to eat for anyone, whether you want a rice plate entree, or something warm and soupy to something to just snack on. They are quick and quality is great.

It seems the workers there dont even bother with menu and insisted using barcode to order. Whats up with more personal service by taking order ? They might as well hire robots to do the work than these useless workers who don 't wanna be there to work. Pathetic experience.
