Yi Mei Champion Taiwan Deli is a popular Taiwanese cousin restaurant that offers authentic Taiwanese breakfast experience. It has restaurants located in California and Las Vegas. The restaurant is generally pretty busy in the morning during the breakfast hour and gets less crowded in the afternoon. As we were flying to Las Vegas in the morning, we wanted to give this a try after we land at Las Vegas.
We wanted to get to Yi Mei Champion Taiwan Deli around noon right after we landed at Las Vegas airport. However, we waited for so long at the Budget car rental center because the service was extremely slow. We finally got to Yi Mei Champion by 1:30PM and the restaurant was quiet and only had about 4 tables.
After we entered the restaurant, the server greeted us politely and offered us a table. We sat down and looked at the menu and immediately knew what we wanted. At that time, we were not sure whether we were supposed to order at the counter or wait for the server to come. As we walked towards the counter to ask, the server apologized right away and said he would swing by in a minute.
We ordered a bowl of Spicy Beef Noodle, Egg Pancake, Rice Ball, Zong Zi, and Radish Pancake. The server were surprised with the amount of food that we ordered and attempted to stop us to order more.
The Rice Ball was delivered to us right away. This Rice Ball is a classic Taiwanese breakfast and we got the sweet one with peanut butter. The Rice Ball was splitter into 2 from the middle to better serve people to eat. Egg Pancake came next and it was perfectly cooked, The down side was that it was not served with sweet and hot sauce that usually comes with the dish in Taiwan.
Zong Zi and Radish Pancake came at the same time. Zong Zi was wrapped with bamboo leafs with sticky rice and meet in it. It was steamed perfectly to have everything cooked with great taste. Taiwanese Radish Pancake is very different from Cantonese ones. Taiwanese Radish Pancake is fried on the pan instead of steamed. It has crispy crust with great texture.
The Beef Noodle came last and it was a bit spicy than we thought. The noodle used in the Beef Noodle was a bit too soft. We preferred to have harder noodle to make it more chewy.
Overall, We enjoyed our dining experience at Yi Mei Champion Taiwanese Deli. The food was great and authentic. The service was great as well where the server greeted us with great manner through out. We would definitely come again next time.
