SinBala

Love love love love the sausages! It's a must have! I was craving for 肉羹麵 all of a sudden and this is the best place for it! My husband loves their spicy beef noodle soup so much and said it was one of the top 3 he's had.

I love Taiwanese sausage here! There is no good enough Taiwanese sausage in Atlanta, so every time I come to LA, I always try to bring some SinBala sausage back to Atlanta. This time, I also tried the shaved ice here as well, taste great! The place is small, but if you just want to taste some Taiwanese flavors, here definitely is a good place you should come.

My comfort food! We went around the time it opened so it wasn't too busy yet but this place can have a long wait! Food always comes out super quick and I love their shaved ice too! The photo is the sausage rice and chicken leg rice.

I have tried Taiwanese beef noodle many times , but by far this was the best !!! The broth was so rich and flavorful and the beef was high quality and perfectly tender ... great noodles too... The sweet sausage was good and the spicy garlic wantons blew me away !!.. so garlicky just the way I like it

If you manage to survive the parking, grab this Taiwanese restaurant's famous fried chicken or sausage rice and you'll realize why the sub-$10 meal is raved about. Make sure to put your name down early, as seating fills up quickly, especially during rush hours. Cash only.

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

With its understated atmosphere and compact tables, this gem invites diners on a culinary journey through Taiwan, delivering an authentic experience from start to finish. When we walked into La Sin Bala, the cozy environment immediately caught our eye. With limited seating and neatly arranged tables, our anticipation was at its peak as we perused the menu, eager to sample a selection of Taiwanese delicacies. Our culinary exploration begins with the typical rice, elegantly presented in the style of a traditional Taiwanese bento. Every bite of tender and juicy pork paired with fragrant rice made us feel like we were in a buffet restaurant in Taipei. Next we had the oyster omelette, a dish that really stole the show. Egg rolls are full of Taiwan's unique flavor, a famous night market snack, harmoniously blending plump oysters with delicious eggs and indispensable vegetables, a perfect match with aromatic spices. Super authentic! A must order meal that left us wanting more with every bite. We also indulged in chicken rolls accompanied by dipping sauce and a serving of shiitake mushroom and chicken soup, both delivering simple yet gratifying flavors. These simple yet satisfying dishes are the perfect end to our culinary journey, leaving us feeling nourished and satisfied. Of note, the highlight of our experience was undoubtedly the oyster omelette, a dish that encapsulates the essence of Taiwanese cuisine. Its authentic flavors and affordable prices highlight La Sin Bala, making it one of the must-go places for food lovers looking for a taste of Taiwan.

Authentic Taiwanese restaurant! Been coming here for years! The price has definitely increased. Their food is still delicious though! The staffs are all so nice and helpful. I always get the sausage rice plate. Their portions are pretty generous. Their beef noodle soup is a bit spicy but flavor is great. Highly recommend this spot! Parking may be a bit difficult during lunch and dinner hours. They fill up quick so I’d recommend coming a bit earlier than the lunch/dinner hours.

great Taiwanese comfort food Our favorite: - Taiwanese Sausage (a la carte or meal) - Pop Corn Chicken - Pork Chop rice - Shaved ice - Steamed dumpling (15 minutes wait) not as good as DTF but it is good Most of their food is great. $20 minimum for credit card purchase

I have been to Sinbala about three times now and it has yet to disappoint me. They are known for their homemade sausages and they are delicious. I always get the plate of Sinbala sausages and popcorn chicken. This little Taiwanese store is quite popular and it is not surprising due to the quality and price of the food. The beef noodle soup is also recommended and their beverages are also great as well. Their tea tastes have a strong tea flavor and I recommend getting either their black milk tea or green milk tea.

Busy Taiwanese restaurant. We waited around 10 minutes for the table. Ordered the spicy beef noodle, sausage rice and the popcorn chicken. The beef was tender, I wish the broth was spicy but it was flavorful. Great restaurant!

Taiwanese tasty crafty stuff. Waiting for a table is part of an inescapable plot here. Even at 1:30pm, still waited for 20 minutes. Dishes size varies but don't miss the sausages.

The Sinbala sausage rice had a bunch of good stuff: rice, minced pork, Taiwanese sausage, cabbage, corn, and eggs. But it arrived a bit cold, and it’s probably because of the AC here. The spicy beef noodle soup was just okay. The broth's spices were a bit too much for me, and the beef was tough. I might swing by again for the Taiwanese sausage, but I'll probably skip the beef noodle soup. There's plenty of seating and parking available.

Food came out a bit too quick. I was skeptical. It was lukewarm and the plate was hot but the food wasn’t. I feel like it was microwaved but I still took a few bites to confirm. The taste was definitely on the super bland side, nothing on my plate really had a nice flavor to it; it was all just so lukewarm and bland. Definitely not cooked fresh. The waters were there before we sat down, and they gave us water cups. Tasted like sink water. I was extremely hungry and left still hungry
