Sawit K. • March 6, 2024I like boba tea here. not too sweet and milk is good.

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.

Lucas C. • December 9, 2016There are real live cats! Great siphon coffee too

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.

Derrick M. • February 12, 2016Pretty good live house, better spot to chill with good music and hip atmosphere.

Wendy W. • October 10, 2013Delicious food from a small menu (chicken or pork chop, rice or noodles). What they do, they do well. Worth the visit for the middle aged waitstaff, curt but quick service, and amazing retro decor.

Nathan • September 8, 2020Wow, the chicken here is phenomenal — extremely juicy and flavorful. Pair it with a beer and you’re set.

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

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

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.

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

Franklin H. • June 4, 2015The definitive go-to for Taiwanese breakfast. The queue can be very long, but worth it. I recommend the sweet soy milk, fried doughnut-fritter, and egg pancake (add some chili sauce for a nice kick).

Boris • January 5, 2016This is hands down the best and most authentic Thai restaurant in Taiwan, with a chef who is actually Thai and world-renowned, where could you possibly go wrong? Book early!
