Ashyan's Lu Ruo Fan

A friend posted about this Lu Ruo Fan delivery service and I decided to give it a shot. I was not disappointed! I'm not normally a fan of rice-forward dishes, but the sauce had such umami (maybe from the slow roasted meat?) that each bite was lusciously rich.

I only ate 2/3 of it and was full - the rest I refried the next morning and scrambled an egg into it (highly recommended).

Only downside was that distribution appears to be only occasional. So if a delivery window opens, jump on it!

It's really good lu rou fan. It does take some planning and signing up for her email list. I think it is very expensive to where it's more of a luxury occasional spend, but it does hit the spot. The portions noticeably shrank over the years though, so I think I'll have to learn how to make it myself...

The best Lu Ruo Fan in SF since Taste of Formosa closed! Even better than Red Hot Wok in Cupertino.

The moment we spot Ashyan's email opening up the dish for pick up, we immediately jumped on it, since we live outside of her delivery area. Sign up for her email list; watch out for those emails!

The flavors are balanced and vibrant. The texture is melt in your mouth goodness. The portion is plenty. There is really no complaints to the dish.

100/10 recommend!

I been wanting to try Ashyan's Lu Ruo Fan for awhile now, but due to the pandemic and distance I couldn't. More recently they offered delivery in my neighborhood in the Outer Richmond and I jumped on the chance!

I ordered the LRF for delivery and it came exactly in the provided timeline. The food was still warm and didn't require any heating! The food is very saucy and never felt dry as some other places I have tried. The meat was insanely tender and the flavors packed a punch.

Consistency is also good, I have had this twice now across multiple days with no issues. Reheating the food from the fridge was fine as well the next day. It did no diminish the flavors or textures of the meat.

In short I highly recommend trying this at least once :)

I'm a big fan of small-menu food. You know that what you are going to get is good when the star dish is the menu. You see it most often in street food, but even a few brick and mortars have made their way with limited menus.

AshYan fits the bill and delivers in spades with an out-of-sight Lu Ruo Fan. Hearty, rich, and delicious. Do the extra egg, especially when you're splitting it. If you have the option to order an additional item - I also had chicken noodle soup - go for it!

SUPER tasty! The pork was popping with flavor, portion sizes were generous, pickled yellow radishes paired perfectly and were delicious. Definitely recommend, you won't be disappointed.

Ashley's Lu Ruo Fan was the delicious Taiwanese-style comfort food I needed after a long day at work! The meat and rice were perfectly flavored. Excited to have more soon :)

I was kind of disappointed after becoming very excited by the reviews and watching Chef Sze's YouTube video on Taiwanese Lou Ruo Fan. The meat was more like little minced pieces than small chunks of pork belly. Flavor was very mild. Eggs were over cooked with gray rings around the yolks. I have not eaten this anywhere else before so I can't really compare. Maybe this is the usual way it is made. The chef seem really nice so I gave it 3 stars even though we all were really disappointed.

This was my third time ordering Ashyan's LRF! The meals are consistently delicious, flavorful, fresh and filling. The food, the delivery, and the experience all feel very personal and different than typical restaurant / takeout.

I am excited to try new foods, and Taiwanese LRF has become one of my favorites. Ashyan's often switches up the menu and includes something fresh and interesting - this time, Ube (purple yam) milk tea.

The portion has been large enough to stretch into multiple meals in the past which allows me to prolong the experience and flavors. It also gives me the opportunity to share the flavor others!

Overall, it feels great to support a presumably small business run by someone who cares about embodying a home cooked and personal feeling!

We got the Lu Ruo Fan with extra tea eggs and I honestly can't stop thinking about their perfect texture drool emoji). And that tender pork just hits! Something about the combination of savoriness and fragrant spices in AshYan's preparation of this dish makes it incredibly comforting yet nuanced. Since the portions are quite generous, we wound up with some leftovers, which for some epic pork fried rice tossed together in the trusty cast iron. Can't wait for the next delivery drop!
