Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Zhōngzhèng Qū, Taipei

MikiRei • May 7, 2015Rumoured 1 of the best minced pork rice in Taipei as recommended by Taiwan foodies. Succulent pork pieces but surprisingly not too oily with a very unique taste. Definitely worth the trip.

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

R A C H E L • December 24, 2017A quaint little cafe located along the old streets. Serves pretty decent coffee and pastries, a lovely place to hangout. Love the sleek minimalist ID too.

Vally A. • November 16, 2016Insanely delicious sashimi. The other food on the menu is average or better, but the sashimi is perfect. Their house beer is delectable, light, & fruity. Very relaxed and authentic interior design.

Dann • January 9, 2017I had pork rib noodles and it(big bowl) cost me only 80 TWD(2.5 US$). The broth was flavourful that I did not add any extra spices. The Taiwanese traditional not-fully-boiled noodles were perfect!!

Caro S. • April 28, 2019Best coffee in town. They have own coffee blends and roasts - just delicious.

Daniel A. • February 11, 2018The original Din Tai Fung. Get here early on a week day (10am) and you must get pork soup dumplings, spicy shrimp and pork wontons, and the chocolate dumplings. Enjoy!

ningsta • December 28, 2022Good drip at affordable price :). Friendly baristas sharing coffee of other customers and helpful to recommend coffee beans based on customer's pref. Nice vibe & truly one gem in taipei's coffee scene

eifeh • April 12, 2015Great Hakka restaurant near MRT Guting. Homey, cozy space. Takes reservations. Try the betel nut flower (炒檳榔花) for something delicious and different. Good choices for vegetarians. Sells Hakka tea.

eifeh • November 15, 2020Delicious, juicy roasted chicken. Love the chili sauce. Sides are all good. Prices are a little high for the portion (cheapest set is NT299). No frills hole-in-the-wall joint. Takes reservations.

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.

Jennifer L. • October 14, 2015My daughter kept saying it was a religious experience for her. Extremely healthy, and delicious. I recommend the cheese platter and their juices and smoothies are so fresh and so what you NEED.

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.

Charles Y. • March 23, 2013One of the best lounges within the SPG network. Substantial offerings during bfast, snacks and Happy Hour (enough for dinner!)

Catsi C. • October 28, 2017Black pepper bun popular for its traditional way of cooking in clay oven. The oven-baked bun is seized with pork and minced spring onion filling. Crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside.

Lien C. • April 15, 2018They have four vegetarian options - all delicious on the thin, crispy crust.

Afro l. • April 18, 2013Delish! Must try the soups n shrimps

Mu-An . • April 2, 2015OK priced, steak, risotto, meat dishes are all pretty good.

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

Johnny W. • March 28, 2017(5/5) Excellent peanut and black sesame-filled 湯圓 (tangyuan), and even better 酒酿 (rice wine). Try the latter as a straight-up cold drink instead of a tangyuan soup base!

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

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.

lee E. • June 19, 2019The drip coffee is good! the atmosphere is chilling and it’s comfortable to sit inside and enjoy chatting with friends.

Jimmy Chun-Hsien F. • May 24, 2016Great tonkatsu for this price, I'm becoming a regular here lol

tinabella C. • May 19, 2011肉圓皮相當Q軟，清蒸麻辣臭豆腐十分入味！麵線羹一碗吃到兩種美味！

Karina G. • January 6, 2016Pon de ring is where it's at. My favorite is the almond caramel. Flavors are seasonal.

Robin C. • August 5, 2015Cookie cream puff was pretty good. It's similar to the top of pineapple bread and adds to the puff texture.

Jemimah W. • December 25, 2017Soooo good. Don't forget to get the DONG BO ROU
