It's a Taiwanese restaurant, Cali is like that wit the bad service.  Just come for the food and forget about the service.  They don't speak/understand English that well, so don't get disappointed.  They prefer you to let them know when you're ready to order.  \n\nI'm tossed between the Noodle Pot restaurant & this place for the spicy beef stew.  The flavorings are really different.  One feels like its has more flavor (Noodle pot) but I get so thirsty afterwards.  This Yi Mei feels like it can add a little bit more seasoning but the portion size & noodles are more than the Noodle pot.  Btw, Noodle Pot only takes CASH but Yi Mei accepts credit cards.  They're both Good but I wish they taste more like Monterey Park.  I switch off between them depending which one is the closes at that moment.
