Pingtung, Taiwan

Our story starts with Mama and Papa Liang...

1940

Liang’s Village is proud to be a third generation family-owned and operated business. Our story starts with Papa Liang, a Taiwanese Air Force Pilot. He moved with his wife, Mama Liang, to an Air Force village in Pingtung, Taiwan. The community was woven together with residents from different regions of China. Each family brought with them the authentic flavors and recipes of their home provinces. These culinary styles melded together and it was in this humble village where the food we serve today originated — Taiwanese Juanchuan food. As Mama Liang developed her recipes, she honored her own roots and those of who she met along the way, blending flavors from nearly every region of China.

San Gabriel Valley, CA

Then came California

1981

In 1981, Mama Liang made her mark on Taiwanese cuisine when she opened her first restaurant in the heart of San Gabriel Valley, California, bringing these unique flavors to life in the United States.

Before Mama Liang retired in 1995, to keep the legacy of this truly one of a kind cuisine alive, she taught her children and grandchildren everything she had learned. This learning experience became a bond for the entire family and now ensures her legacy will live on forever. With quality ingredients and a focus on preserving the authentic flavors of Mama Liang’s recipes, we’re here to share the legacy (and delicious eats!) with our customers every day.

Our Core Values

Our core values begin with our story, and most importantly, our customers. When you walk through that door, we make a promise to bring the spirit of Taiwanese Juanchuan cuisine to your tables and hearts. Our restaurant believes in three core pillars:

Family

As a third generation family owned and operated business, there’s nothing more important than family — and that includes our team members and our guests. It is our goal to create a culture in our restaurant where we all see and treat each other as family.

Authenticity

We want our guests to enjoy authentic Taiwanese Juanchuan comfort food. Juanchuan is the mandarin name for “Taiwanese military village,” so it’s key that we authentically speak about the dishes we make here every day. We honor Mama Liang’s legacy by following her lead and serving our guests using her original recipes.

Growth

Whether it’s a better way to operate or improve the quality of our ingredients, we strive to improve and be better than we were the day before. Continual learning is the norm for our staff. If there’s something you’d like to share with the Liang’s Village team, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
