[Irvine] [Chinese] A&J Restaurant

A&J Restaurant
半畝園

14805 Jeffrey Rd #D
Irvine, CA 92620
(949) 786-3585

We went to A&J for lunch last weekend.  A&J only serves breakfast on weekend before 2pm.  I had to take the opportunity to try their Chinese style breakfast.


鹹豆漿 Salted Soy Milk ($1.65)

We started out the milk with a bowl of Salted Soy Milk.  The size was a bit small, but I really like the flavor of  the soy milk.  The "Chinese Churro" (油條) in the soy milk was still crispy.  It was Dr. P's first time trying salted soy milk, and he likes it.



蛋餅 Egg Cake ($2.50)

Egg Cake was just alright.  The "cake" part was a bit too dry.  I probably won't order this one again.


花素蒸餃 Vegetarian Steamed Dumplings ($2.50)

Vegetarian Steamed Dumplings were big.  I like all the veggies and vermicelli inside the dumplings.


牛肉餡餅 Pan Fried Beef Bun ($1.50)

One of Dr. P's favorite item, Pan Fried Beef Bun.  He has to order this every time.  Even if we have too much food, he still order one to take http://www.eileenlikestoeat.com for snack later.


紅燒各半麵 Spicy Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup (Szechuan Style) ($6.95)

Spicy Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup is always pretty good here.



Dr. P is a very manly man, except when he's holding a spoon.  hahahaha....



I like A&J's salted soy milk.  We should come back another time to try more of their breakfast items.  And it was a pleasant surprise to run into Michelle and her hubby! ^^

  2. The egg cake looks like using flour tortillas. @Q@

    Yup, that's what I thought, too.
    The "cake" was too dry and thin.

  4. 你很喜歡這間喔,你的網誌裡它出現過好多次了 ^^

    我覺得你的胃始終是台灣胃啊 XD

    我猜小威的胃大概已經被美國同化了?? XD

    小威最喜歡吃的是那種三道菜客飯
    就像台灣自助餐那種
    很妙吧

  6. A man's hand is too big for that tiny little spoon, so there's no place for the 5th digit, which then has to go somewhere else...

    But what I really want to say is that A&J is the only decent Taiwanese restaurant in DC. Unfortunately there is just TOO much MSG in all their dishes--and I always go into a coma afterward : ( But I do love that salty soymilk soup!!!

    Dr. P said he likes you, hahahahaha....
