This offshoot of a 30-year-old dumpling shop exudes rustic charm with warm wood and rattan features. In tribute to the unique food culture in villages for military families, the menu offers steamed dumplings, side dishes and marinated meat, all characterised by fresh, balanced flavours. Noodles are served in soup or tossed in sauces, with a choice between knife-cut noodles and fine noodles. Also try their steamed pork ribs in spiced ground rice.
This unsophisticated eatery champions home-style Hakkanese fare whose low fat and sodium content is rich in healthy benefits. The welcome drink, sicklepod tea, is said to promote bowel and eye health. Their signature Silkie chicken herbal soup is slow-cooked for eight hours with over 30 Chinese herbs. To highlight its herbal aromas, the health tonic is intentionally unseasoned. For starch, try their fried rice with home-made pickles loaded with savoury depth.
Founded by a vegetarian F&B group in 2020, Shan Guo Tang boasts a lofty space drenched in natural light. The Japanese-inspired wood-rich interior feels serene. Unlike many vegetarian joints, the menu brims with creative gems based on Taiwanese, Sichuanese and Jiangzhe cuisines. Stir-fried vegan pork with French beans and pickled gourd seduces with crisp textures and big-boned flavours, ideal with steamed burdock rice.
WebsiteThis bright, cosy shop moved into this space in 2022. Their signature item of braised pork rice topped with a sunny-side up egg has won the hearts of many local gourmets. The glistening sauce is slow-cooked for 10 hours to allow the flavours to mingle and the hand-diced pork to soften; the runny egg yolk is the centrepiece, enrobing every grain of rice with custardy nectar. Fans of spicy food should add a dab of dried radish chilli sauce with anchovies.
This yakiniku restaurant, prized for its Japanese Wagyu menu, is just the ticket for beef lovers. The well-curated set menus are ideal to sample a range of different cuts, including rare morsels like chateaubriand and zabuton. Everything is grilled to perfection at your table, and served with condiments like wasabi and garlic chips to complement the buttery notes. Wagyu sausage is another must-try. There is also a non-beef menu with seafood, pork and lamb.
For 20+ years, Garden.V has been valued by locals for its authentic Jiangzhe fare served in generous portions. The three-storey space feels airy and bright thanks to full-length windows. Certain items, such as cabbage rice with Jinhua ham, need to be pre-ordered. Be sure to check out the glass display case for cold appetisers and sides – the kao fu, or fried wheat gluten with mushrooms and bamboo shoot, is savoury-sweet and incredibly appetising.
This secluded eatery is the quintessence of Japanese style, courtesy of a profusion of cypress wood and elegant tableware. The chef who used to work in Taipei offers three omakase menus that strike a balance between raw and cooked courses, Japanese classics and creative gems. Fish from Toyosu market is paired with rice dressed in a mellow blend of white and red vinegars. The crispy spring roll filled with crabmeat, crab roe and tomalley is an umami extravaganza.
This stall in Dongmen Market has long been around and it specialises in thick rice noodles in a clear broth made with chicken bones. The signature seafood taro rice noodle soup is the must-try: deep-fried sea bass fillet, milkfish balls, shrimps and fried egg bits impart robust flavours; scallions deep-fried on site add extra fragrance; the chunk of creamy and starchy taro that melts in your mouth is the icing on the cake.
