SinBala

Old school Taiwanese food It’s been around for 30+ years ? Very authentic Taiwanese food It’s different from typical Chinese food The best dish here is their Taiwanese sausages that is made specially by themselves I also love the popcorn chicken Can’t go wrong with any of their combo rice fish here Price is reasonable flavor is consistent It still taste like it did 30 years ago The atmosphere is a bit dated but the food makes up for the decor

Classic Taiwanese food. They hit me with the Mandarin the minute I stepped inside and I was totally unprepared for that to happen but it was chill. Service is very fast. The price is not super cheap but it is reasonable. We got 麻辣豆乾 (spicy bean curd), 香腸 (Sinbala sausage), 炸排骨乾麵 (fried pork chop dry noodles), and 扣肉飯 (pork belly rice). The portions are pretty large. The pork chop was dry but crispy, so I have mixed feelings about that one. They take card if you order more than $30 worth of food. I’d love to come back to try their shaved ice because I hear it’s better than Meet Fresh!

This place is comfort food to the max. It is so homey and delicious, offering traditional Taiwanese dishes. The sausage was super tasty and one of their signatures. Pretty affordable too with good value and good portions. The staff are very nice and speak both English and Mandarin. The interior is a bit run down but does not take away from the quality of the food.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - came for an early lunch so there were plenty of tables available. It was a delicious Taiwanese meal 23) Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was delicious with a very salty broth. It was great while eating the noodles but could not finish the soup afterwards. 30) Popcorn Chicken was juicy and well fried. Nicely seasoned with flavors all the way to the center of the chicken. 37) Sticky Rice was as expected. Well seasoned and flavored but a bit oily. Ambience: 5/5 - clean and more spacious than expected. Service: 5/5 - friendly and quick. You do need to waive them down for anything needed as they don't check back on the tables Value for price: 5/5 - good food, quick service, reasonable price

We’ve been coming to Sinbala ever since they opened nearly 30 years ago. The quality of food have not changed a bit. It’s great to see they continue to thrive and service the Arcadia area. Must stop Taiwanese quick food, if you are in the area. My favorite is the Taiwanese sausage. There is no where else that makes the sausages as good as Sinbala. Beef noodle soup, Pork stew rice noodle, eel rice and the Brown Sugar Shaved Ice are amount our top picks. Drinks wise, you can’t go wrong with Coffee Jelly milk green tea and boba with brown sugar milk (good for kids, no caffeine). About 2 to 3 weeks before Chinese New Year, Sinbala makes Red bean Rice Cake that is just amazing. My latest favorite - Eel Rice Plate
