    Got there 5 minutes before opening on a Saturday and there was already a line. Moves quickly. Once we ordered we were directed to a table within the cafe. Utensils, water, napkins are all self service. Their teas were light and refreshing. Must order is the pineapple bun and the french toast. I'd honestly pass on their kitchen items next time and drop by just for their pastries and drinks. The spicy wontons had a unique flavor but were on the smaller side. The pork rice usually sells out before they close. It was good but nothing too crazy. Again, the pineapple bun is a must order.

    We got pretty much everything on the menu -- and everything was so good!! I feel like the taste and quality is pretty authentic and reminded me of Taiwan street food. My favorite was the chiayi chicken rice and the dry noodle was super yummy as well. I thought the pineapple bun was a little dry actually so I would skip that if I come again. The service is friendly and attentive. I love the vibe inside, very cute and bright. Only con is that the wait can be a bit long since there's not that many tables, so definitely come earlier if you are hoping to get a seat during weekend brunch! There's a good amount of street parking but only if you come a bit earlier in the day probably.

    Five Stars! Liu's Cafe in Koreatown, may have a long queue and a small menu, but it's packed with excellence! The Chiayi Chicken Rice is a standout - perfectly cooked chicken with flavorful rice that's simply irresistible. The Braised Pork Belly over rice is melt-in-your-mouth delicious, with tender pork and rich, slightly creamy flavors. And don't miss the Hong Kong style French toast - it's a sweet and indulgent with a custard filling that's a delightful surprise. Liu's Cafe is worth putting your name in the queue and finding parking!

    Cute cafe. You order at the front next to the very tempting pastry case. Make sure to get the pineapple bun. I also tried the yuzu loaf, which also was very moist and citrusy. They have a small food menu. I ordered everything but the French Toast since I already had sweets from the case. Everything we had was delicious. I especially liked the spicy wontons and the chicken and rice dish. The pork belly and rice was good too, but I liked that the chicken was a lighter version. We also had the peach tea and the cucumber mint lemonade. Both were super refreshing especially with the weather being so hot that afternoon. Service was friendly and efficient. I can't wait to return. Street parking is available but can be challenging. Sorry, no pics. We were hungry.
