Old Taro, nestled in Fremont, CA, offers an authentic taste of Taiwanese-Chinese cuisine that delights with every bite. The standout dish, the spicy beef noodle soup, features tender beef and tripe immersed in a rich, flavorful broth, perfectly balanced to satisfy without overwhelming heat. The noodles, whether thin and soft or thick with an al dente bite, complement the hearty soup beautifully. Beyond noodles, Old Taro’s dessert selection shines—particularly the black sesame oil fried mochi, a unique and indulgent treat that adds a sweet finish. The kitchen’s signature sesame oil chicken hot pot is a must-try for those seeking comforting warmth, though note it’s available only until 30 minutes before closing. The inviting interior, decorated with Taiwanese touches, enhances the dining experience, making each visit memorable. Friendly service and generous portions round out what feels like a genuine, homey culinary journey into Taiwanese flavors.
