[Irvine] [Taiwanese] 梁媽媽家 Liang's Kitchen

Liang's Kitchen
梁媽媽家

5408 Walnut Ave #1
Irvine, CA 92618
(949) 262-1404

We passed by Takaraya a few months ago and noticed that people were working on remodeling inside.  We thought it was Takaraya working on upgrading their decor.  But sadly, it was closed.  We liked the food from Takaraya.  So Liang's Kitchen opened at this location.  The line has been crazy since it opened.  I went to Liang's Kitchen in San Gabriel before, and thought the food was just alright.  It definitely wasn't worth waiting in line for one hour for.  But we still wanted to try Liang's Kitchen in Irvine.  Maybe it's better than San Gabriel location so the line is always long?  Dr. P called and ordered the food to-go before he went to pick it up.  No waiting that way.


紅燒筋肉麵 Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup ($6.75)

We got their famous Beef & Tendon Noodle Soup with handmade wide noodle.  The only thing I liked about this was that it came with pickle vegetable.  The noodle was soggy.  Beef was overcooked and too chewy.  Barely any tendon in the soup.  And the soup was sweet.  Hmmm.... Don't like it at all.



台式炸排骨飯 Pork Chop Rice ($6.45)

Pork Chop Rice, on the other hand, was very very good.  I love it!  The pork chop was cooked perfectly.  The meat sauce on top of rice was good.  Side vegetable and soy braised egg tasted very Taiwanese.  The only complaint I have is that everything was cold.  I think they probably pre-packed those to-go bento boxes.

I thought Liang's Kitchen is famous for their beef noodle soup?  We just didn't like it at all.  But I would go back anytime for their pork chop rice!

  1. I like their pork chop rice too. There is one in Arcadia on Baldwin Ave.

    It's much better than beef noodle soup.
    Do you like their other items? I like the spicy wonton from the San Gabriel location.

  2. I like this tofu appetizer.

    Tofu and thousand year old egg?

  3. The beef noodle soup is sweeter than average, sure, but your other complaints are probably related to the fact that you ordered for take-out and ate it 15-20 minutes later. Can't blame the restaurant for that.

    Everything in the bento box was completely cold.
    And there was no steam on the clear cover, either.
