Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Zhōngzhèng Qū, Taipei

Teresa • November 29, 2016Besides their famous soup dumplings, you should try their chicken/beef soups, pork chop noodle soup, zhajiang mian, fish dumplings, shrimp & pork shumai, mini black sesame bun, mini taro bun

Johnny W. • May 16, 2019(5/5) Small, hip cafe with delicious cakes, tarts, and other pastries. Be sure to try the guava cheesecake and tropical passion tart: both are tasty yet surprisingly light.

Raven A. • January 24, 2016Cozy & comfortable. Kind of between Taiwanese & Japanese, between restaurant and izakaya. Don't expect authentic food although this is in an old Japanese house. Roast strings, sake & dessert are good.

Li Lian M. • September 30, 2013Braised Pork Rice/Noodles and the Pork Tendon Soup are a must-try!

Raven A. • January 8, 2017Cozy and relax. Specialty coffee is awesome, one of the tops in Taipei. It could be pretty crowded at peak hours.

Magdalena M. • November 3, 2019Delicious haka tofu and green tea noodles. Great option to combine vegans and carnivorous.

Alice S. • February 4, 2015Love the ambiance here. Great service, good coffee.

Ian C. • June 22, 2019The beef noodle broth tastes stronger by default than most places. La main is cooked al denté. Try the Zhajiang mian!

PYeong • May 4, 2023Din Tai Fung instructions on how to enjoy their xiao long bau 👍🏻

June Young C. • January 10, 2017One of the better beef noodle places in town. The line moved rather fast despite the snaking line. The noodles have a balanced texture and compliments the soft beef toppings.

Bilal R. • February 17, 2017Great food made with lots of passion and care. Come give it a try!

Pieter L. • February 9, 2019Amazing meat buns from local vendors. 8/10

Ruby H. • April 16, 2015Very authentic place despite its aged setting n environment. Excellent xiaolongbao (steamed buns) n amazing pan-fried prune paste cake. Cabbage (baizai) salad is best in town.

eifeh • December 3, 2020Old beef noodle shop with big local following. Flavors are decent, but beef could be more tender. Busy at meals, but line goes fast. Not my favorite, but a solid choice if you’re in the area.

Enn E. • November 18, 2018Loved the boba tea. I’ve heard that the lines can be very long.

Constance |. • October 3, 2019Delicious peanut and black sesame tang yuan (favourite is peanut), super soft. Friendly and helpful staff.

Niqitta A. • April 25, 2018Dough was yummy and the tomato base definitely different. Awesome!!!! Keep it up!

Ruby H. • September 9, 2014Freshly baked croissants! A great selection of coffee and the bakery menu is always changing. Surprise yourself!

Jessica W. • February 4, 2017It's everything you want in a Peruvian chicken joint. Incredibly seasoned and tender chicken (not dry). The rice was flavourful and I couldn't get enough of the fries. (The salad was also delicious)

Chris C. • July 3, 2013Famous for their tsai bao and rou bao, but also try their gan mien.

eifeh • June 27, 2019My favorite sushi train joint in Taipei. Good selection. Good price. You can make a reservation on their app or head to the restaurant and grab a number. Dinner can be very busy with a long wait.

Azliana Rashidah A. • February 2, 2019Very generous portion that I couldn’t finish mine. The beef is very tender like melt in your mouth. I like beef dumpling and taste good when you eat with soy sauce + sesame oil + vinegar + chili paste

Robin C. • August 5, 2015Super long line. It's 80NT for the chicken rice, which is somewhat similar to hainan chicken with soy sauce. Comes with soup and some sides.

Innster T. • August 22, 2018So yummy and very juicy!!

Che-Chun C. • May 5, 2015在街角經營時就常光顧了，搬遷後有再去吃一次，湯頭還是一樣好喝。
