Sinbala Corporation - Arcadia

Good, fast, inexpensive Taiwanese/Chinese food. We came before the crowd and were quickly served with delicious dishes. The Chinese Beef Stew noodles were great. The sausage with rice was good. The shaved ice was one of the best I had. The brown sugar crystal added great taste. When we left the line, the next store was over!

This restaurant is known for its Taiwanese sausage. You can get it a variety of possibilities, with blows from basil to chocolate to strawberry. My favorite is the sausage with cut garlic, but this is biased because I didn't try all the variations (I just can't move to order strawberry sausage. But besides the sausage (which is really good and tastes much fresher than most other places, they serve a Smorgasbord of Taiwanese dishes, and I must say everything I have tried was quite good and authentic (and I know my Taiwanese cuisine - I make visits every year only for food... hehe.. I get her sausage rice and pork chop noodle regularly (order to go and your order is ready in 5-10 minutes... 5 if it is sausage and I love it every time. But besides the delicious food and authentic taste, I should say my favorite thing in this place is probably their service. It is usually around lunch and dinner time, but the workers are always very efficient, and more important, FRIENDLY (yes, not rude... which is the equivalent of friendly in a Chinese restaurant. This is hard to reach when you are frequently infamous Chinese restaurants. Oh, and it's really cheap. The last time I was my friend there and I were starved, so we ordered 5 things from the menu (2 main dishes and 3 pages, and the bill came to $20. How's that for good food? I had the shaved ice here as soon as it was pretty good. You have a pretty good ice razor because the ice was pretty good and didn't hunt like so many other places (ahem Life Plaza and Guppy House . The ingredients were delicious and the girl put the perfect amount of condensed milk on it (the last time I had her shaved ice there was not enough condensed milk and I had to ask for more. I always get shaved ice with condensed milk without the sugar syrup, because I think the combination of the two is simply too sweet for my taste buds. Anyway, her dessert is good. I would give this place 6 stars if I could. But remember – they are closed on Tuesday. I don't know how often I went there on a Tuesday, just to leave with a pout and an empty stomach.
