the best darn Chinese (Taiwanese) buffet in LA.

Shau May
830 E Valley Blvd
Alhambra, CA 91801-5225

$3.99 for a very authentic (greasy) Taiwanese buffet. Devoid of pseudo Korean/Japanese/Mexican:



nothing like consuming all-you-eat papayas with chopsticks:



in the buckets are tubs of congee, rice, seaweed/egg soup and my fave: minced pork stew to dress your rice. this is truly a local Taiwanese delicacy at its best (and cheapest)

This particular Shau May is also home to the much sought after $3.25 mango shaved ice with mango pudding. Unbested in any part of the country due to its sheer size & value... The restaurant is an unmined treasure unknown to most Chinese population...
