The 21 best spots for fried chicken in New Taipei

XXXL size fried chicken chop. Tender. Crispy. But the chicken was too big (in a way) we were so stuffed after eating just one of this. The staffs worked efficiently. There were staff members dedicated to keep the queue on line. Overall, worthwhile to try but I don’t think I will go back to frequent this often.

Definitely a must try if you visit Taipei/Shilin Market. The chicken is so huge. Every chicken served is always fresh and hot out of the deep fryer. You have an option if you want it spicy or not. There are other Hotstar branches in different country, but having it in Taiwan will definitely complete your whole Tiawan experience!

Super huge chicken fillet, super juicy & good protein. You can tell this is fresh chicken, not the frozen thingy. The favor & crunch is just right. The zie-zag queue also super long if you go for it afyer sunset. My recommendation go earlier around 5 to 5.30om & continue your exploration through Shilin night market.

Saw all the hype for XXXL Taiwanese fried chicken, so decided to head to Shilin Night market. The chicken stand is close to the street and there a huge queue but it moved quickly. Order the spicy version. The chicken cutlet is huge and very reasonably price. Its crispy and tender but most of the flavor is in the seasoning they sprinkle on at the end, in my case spicy chili pepper flavor that mostly coated on the outside breading. Its still super hot as it came right out of the fryer. The chicken itself is on the bland side. Visit for the novelty and the experience but in terms of taste, there are more tasty fried chicken out there.

📍Place: one of the most popular place for fried chicken, it's basically a food stall at the side entrance to Shilin Night market. 🍛 Food: I am not a big fan of chicken thighs (even if it's bonless), but this one was amazing. Super crispy on the outside and very juicy on the inside, well spiced making it slightly hot, but it is just adding to the taste. Occasionally you can find some small bones in it, but overall it's perfect. 👩🏻‍🍳 Service: prepare for a long queue, it is very popular, I was waiting 15 minutes, but it's worth it.

Hot Star chicken refers to a Taiwanese-style fried chicken from the Hot Star Large Fried Chicken chain, known for its extra-large, flattened chicken cutlets. The chicken is typically a butterflied chicken breast, battered with a mix of potato and tapioca starch for a crispy, yet tender, result, and then deep-fried. It is a popular street food from Taiwan's night markets, available in various seasonings and styles. The large fried chicken cutlet is its signature feature, often described as being larger than a person's face. The menu also includes other fried items like popcorn chicken bites, fries, and fried oyster mushrooms, as well as drinks. In my opinion, it’s fried chicken! How can you not love this stuff. I don’t understand the 1 star reviews. For the price you’re paying especially when you’re a tourist it’s a lot of protein at $3 and change Canadian. It’s so big you can literally share it with another person.

Hot Star chicken in Shilin Night Market. The queue was long. But the servers were very efficient and did a great job. Big chunk of deep fried chicken; crispy batter & moist chicken. The spicy one is saltier & tastier than the original one. Although there was no bone on the top part of the fried chicken, there were some bones at the end of the chicken pieces.

We ordered through Uber Eats and it took a while to arrive, which may skew the rating a bit due to fried food should be eaten hot. Nonetheless, some of the items we’d ordered were good and others were so so. The egg tofu (just a name as there was no egg in it), the sweet rice stuffed in pig intestines and cucumbers (yes, you’ve read that correctly and we didn’t know you can deep fry cucumbers) were very good. I guess the old saying “it’s true that anything deep fried is good” has some truth to it. Others such as tempura and chicken were just okay.

This one is 100% recommended & must try!! They sells Taiwanese fried chicken and the other fried stuff. The squid and chicken taste really good. Besides, they also sell a tasty curry rice! If you buy the curry rice, they provides a free drink.

Excellent fried chicken and other fried companion food was also tasty. The freshly chopped, deep fried garlic lifted the taste by a notch. Strongly recommended. Service can be a bit slow but mostly because they made every single order a fresh batch. Worth the wait.

Unknowingly ordered 300NTD worth of food here. It is very easy to over order if you want to try a variety of items. Chicken was good, though not the best. Love the french beans and shisamo.

Got the fried chicken (no bones) and the fried calamari (squid?) And fried sweet potatoes. Overall, seasoning was nice but maybe on the lighter side. Chicken was yummy and the portion for 60NT was big. I would skip the squid next time, it's like a huge chunk of squid and not tentacles and thus tastes really bland like chewing an eraser. It seems like a lot of fun eating a bunch of fries stuff on a piece of paper with a bunch of friends in their sitting area. 😍👍

I think this restaurant just a normal Taiwan style fried chicken stand...not many differents to others,but the foods are still great! Highly recommend curry rice with fried chicken if you want to fill up your belly,or you can grab some chicken pop corns for a snack

The best item here is the fish balls. They are huge and substantial. Close seconds are the glutinous stuff: sweet taro mochi and sticky rice sausage. The skewers have the perfect amount of breading, and always come out hot and fresh despite the crowds. They are not saucy but more the dry and crispy type which they do so well. You can switch it up with a side of curry to soak up the grease. Green beans are the best vegetable pairing imo. There is downstairs seating with stools at a couple high tops/bar.

white wine clams were super super good , the dessert shop with the old lady i highly recommend (inside a restaurant) it is SOOOO GOOD and friday night was pretty crowded. beef was alright... abit tough for my liking and the mochi is very interesting concept. but nice coz very chewy and handmade on the spot . would definitely come again

Legendary night market This is the one everyone is talking about. So glad we finally got the check it out. We went right at opening and the market was already packed. Two giant columns of stall after stall. My main issue is that it was so overwhelming. I was sad that I wasn't able to try it all. My favs were probably the fuzhou pepper buns (toasty buns cooked in a tandoori style oven filled with pork), the stinky tofu (super concentrated flavor, much stronger than what I have had in the states), and the roasted pork (I always love the look of giant hanging slabs of pork. It was super tender with a crisp crust. Loved how they sprinkled on five spice to finish the dish). We also tried the Gua Bao and grilled trumpet mushrooms/zucchini which were excellent. The freshly made shrimp rice rolls, which while looking amazing, were a tad too doughly for my taste. Washed it all down with a craft Raohe beer from TimeBeer, which offers free seating and welcomes outside food, with a purchase, of course. Will need to come back.

Out of all the night markets I’ve been to in Taipei Raohe night market has got to be my favourite. It’s exactly what you would expect from a Taiwanese night market, fully brimmed with food stalls and also external restaurants and stores on the side. So many places you must visit here food-wise and everyone is super friendly and famous for their specialities. It’s one big line that you just need to walk both sides of and surprisingly there’s barely any rubbish because all stalls take the trash regardless of what stall you got it from. Must go for first timers in Taipei!

The food are pretty nice and there are a great variety of food stuffs. Please see attached photos and videos including those hawkers owners "working in progress" preparing their food from the start to its finished products. Despite the rain when I was there on 22nd October 2025 many shops were closed. I love to come back for all the food there.

Raohe Night Market is an absolute must-visit! The place is always bustling with people, full of energy and amazing aromas everywhere. There are so many different foods to try — we indulged in the famous pork buns, crispy fried squid, doughnuts, and even a delicious melon pan–style bread, among others. The variety is incredible, from savory street snacks to sweet desserts. Every stall offers something unique, and it’s easy to spend hours wandering around, tasting a bit of everything. It can get quite crowded, but that’s part of the lively night market experience. If you love food adventures and don’t mind the crowds, Raohe Night Market is definitely worth the visit!

There are an enormous number of people. Although not very large, the narrow alleyways are densely packed with shops along the two sides of the road. There is a lot of food, but be careful as the smell of pork bones and stinky tofu can make you feel confused. The lines at famous restaurants are very long, and it's not easy to taste anything. However, if you want to see Taiwan's representative night markets, it is a must-visit place.

Raohe Night Market is my MUST visit everytime I come to Taipei. I like the food there and it gets crowded on Fridays and weekends. It was rainy Oct Taipei this time round for me, many stalls were not open due to the non stop rain for days. Big I was glad u managed to eat all the food I like. Still my best night market to me in Taipei 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Really solid bowl of 牛肉麵! The broth had a great depth of flavour but wasn’t too heavy. They were also generous with the meat, which is always a plus! We also ordered the 排骨 which was really special and the 炸醬麵! Everything was really solid and would definitely come again! Don’t sleep on the side dishes either (my fav was the lotus root and the eggplant)

This is the best beef noodle spot recommended by my cousin who knows food really well. I loved it! The beef noodle soup does not have tomato in it (or at least I couldn’t see or taste it). The eggplant and string beans were a good addition. Saw a lot of people who ordered the rice powder dish (it looks like fried rice). My friend and I came on a Sunday around noon and waited about 10min. The turnover is pretty quick, and staff is friendly.

Finally made it here, this must be one of the top 5 must try beef noodle shop for tourists in Taipei. Soup & noodle were ok but I was disappointed by the texture of the beef. The meat breaks apart easily in your mouth but tastes dry and sticks to the gaps between your teeth. This is the most I’ve ever paid for beef noodle by a big margin so I’d have to rank it bottom of my list. The guy next to me ordered the dark broth version and it looks tastier.

I dropped by on a weekday late morning, there was a queue of maybe just 5 groups infront of me, possibly due to the rain. After 10-15mins wait, we got in and was placed with another group of 2 to share a table. Ordered the large beef and tendon noodles and a side of steamed pork rib. They have a variety of other side dishes which we skipped. The steamed pork rib came first, the flavour and texture is so unique, I believed its mixed with sticky rice, and pumpkin at the base of it. The beef noodles would be one of the best I’ve had so far, the meat is tender and easily fall apart upon bitting while the tendon just melts in your mouth. Would definitely come back again if I ever visit Taiwan.

The beef noodle taste as standard taste in popular restaurant in Taipei. Soup is good with chinese herb as standard soup in Taiwan and taste is mild and balance with a slightly salty taste. Beef and tendon is ok, not very soft. Noodle has soft texture with little chewy. The texture is in between ramen and udon. Verdict: overall taste is in standard of beef noodle in Taipei. By the way, this is famous restaurant with long story in Taipei. You can try. The down side is you have to share the table with others if your group not fulfill the seat in your table. By the way, the taste noted in mind is the wonton with peanut sauce that makes me notice of this restaurant. I like the wonton with peanut sauce here a lot, recommended.

The noodles are good but not one of the best we tasted. There are two serving type, solo and for sharing. It is not salty or oily and the little spice for the flavor. The place is not that big but comfy to eat. Serving is fast as you will not that long to get your order.

Excellent flavor and perfectly balanced broth. The beef is incredibly tender and soft, and the noodles are cooked just right. A great place to enjoy authentic Taiwanese beef noodles🍜.

ChiaTe is a well-known bakery and their premium packaging is perfect for souvenirs and delicious treats. If you buy directly at the store, you can mix different types of pastries in one box. Box sizes come in 6, 12, or 20 pieces. I really like their Egg Yolk Pineapple Pastry — the crust is soft, and the filling is rich and flavorful. I also enjoy the nougat green onion cookies. The cookies has a nice savory onion taste, and the nougat filling is just the right amount of sweet without being too sticky. I also tried the red bean glutinous rice cake, which was still warm when I got it. Surprisingly, it was really good — the rice cake was soft and chewy, and the red bean paste was smooth and tasty. The service is quick and friendly. It’s best to come a bit early so you have more pastry options and avoid the long lines. The shop is clean and well-organized, with clear labels and pricing for each item.

Amazing pineapple cakes and must have souvenirs if you’re visiting Taiwan/taipei. Expect to see a long line but it goes quicker than you would think. They have a large selection of pastries but I can only recommend their pineapple cakes there. They’re a cut above the rest and you can get them in very large servings. Do note that they have an expiry date and should be consumed within a week. I really recommend to have it within the first three days because of how status they are. The prices are bit more compared to your usual pineapple cakes at the supermarket.

Worth to come here! The selections are massive. Feels like a kid in a candy store. Staff speaks english. Do ask for a order paper before line up outside. Line move fast, dont worry. Do come early for freshest batch!

If you want to buy their Pineapple Pastries AND Wife Cakes, you need to queue in as early as 7:00 AM. I went at about that time, and there was already a queue once I got there. Anyway, at 8:30 when the bakery opens, the line moves pretty fast. I would suggest that you already have what you want in mind so that you’ll be able to check out much faster. I was able to leave the store at about 9:15 because it took me awhile to decide what to get. Not bad. Verdict on what I bought: I’m not too much of a fan of egg flavoring in pastries, so I skipped out on buying a box of the Egg Yolk flavored pastries, and I’m glad I did. If you’re not a fan of those, you can definitely just buy individual packets for you to try but I wouldn’t recommend getting a box. I bought a box of the mixed Pineapple and Pineappple-Cranberry Pastries and MY GOSH — they were quite literally one of the best pastries I’ve had in Taiwan! I will definitely get more of these the next time I’m going back to Taiwan. And the WIFE CAKES were really good as well. Make sure you get the wife cakes because they’re limited!!! Overall, I’m quite happy and satisfied with what I bought! Chia Te is definitely one of the spots you should go to in Taiwan!!!

Chia Te is really the OG of Taipei pineapple tarts. The queue everyday shows that. If you don't want to queue, there are 2 ways 1. Come at night, about 1 hour before closing. Cons only have the basic items/long shelf life items, e.g. pineapple tarts, maybe sun cakes, sesame pastries. 2. If you are in Taipei at least for 4 days, order on your 1st day & collect on your 4th day. Order collection can only be done 3 days after ordering. If you want to soak in all the atmosphere of buying pineapple tarts at Chia Te, then come in the morning. Either from opening time at 08:30 (queue already formed before opening time) or at about 09:30-10:00. This is when some of the short life pastries will come out fresh. Usually it will disappear very fast. I still couldn't get the pork mung bean cake that I've been eyeing. Service is pretty good. There are staff to watch the door, and staff to help you if you need any help. You can create you own set or buy the pre-packed set. Note there are separate boxes for pineapple tarts & pastries, you can't use tart box for pastries & vice versa, just ask the staff. Payment can be done with cash / card. There is no tax refund here. Chia Te also provide packing boxes for extra fee. Tips: if you are buying pineapple tarts for yourself, I suggest to check out the plastic box tarts. They have shorter shelf life & some maybe a little bit crushed. It's much cheaper NTD 350 for 12 pieces and still tastes the same, just sans packaging.

First time here in their actual shop, their Pineapple cake and Sun biscuits (Limited stocks per day) are my favorites here. If you have time, visit their shop. The varieties are so much more especially the sun biscuits are limited in stock. Was lucky to get the last 2 boxes. 😃

One of the best cranberry tart ever. And now due to mid autumn festival they also sell mooncakes. Looks like long queue but they move fast. You can also buy boxes to pack your goodies for easy travel. Definitely recommend

Lin Dong Fang is among several places listed as the best beef noodle soups in Taipei and is a particular favorite with locals. It started as a small stall but the current location is a modern, clean and multi-story restaurant with a laminated menu and table service (although utensils and spicy beef paste are self serve). However, judging by the empty space and the noodle soup I had, it’s hey day are probably past and I much preferred Yong Kang Noodles. I found the broth to be very mild even when I added the spicy beef paste and although we tried multiple versions, the beef cut and toughness was present in every bowl except for one or two pieces that were tender. The tendon was very soft but the noodles (only one type) tasted very manufactured rather than fresh made. Prices are affordable and service was fast with zero wait but overall underwhelmed. 📷 Half Tendon/Half Beef Noodle Soup Small NT$260 / Beef Tripe Noodle Small NT$260 / Beef Noodle Small NT$210 / Hua Gan ~ dried tofu in beef broth NT$40 Dining is indoor only, no reservations required and they accept credit cards

Broth and beef was alright. The highlight for me was the super chewy and thick noodles. Loved it alot. Portion size was also quite big even for the small portion. We arrived in Taipei late at night so it was great that this place was opened till late. There was also no queue at all around 10pm.

Noodle is ok, not bad. The soup taste is mild and balance well. Beef softness is well cooked. I visit due to this shop is one of the top list for beef noodle in Taipei. I don't give three atar since the noodle still enjoyable. Overall is ok. If you don't like atrong tasts, old school beef noodle. The beef is soft and tendon also soft at good level. For the price is juat average price for beef noodle in this area. You can come to try, the queue not build up when I visited. The down point is I order just beef soup but get the beef noodle instead.

Good taste Great beef texture Soup with added spicy butter is 👍 great. Not a fancy decorative restaurant, the restaurant just focus on the food. The environment is clean. Good, can recommend to go

A+ [would come again / 還會再來] · this is a famous traditional beef noodle in Taipei thats known for their signature spicy beef butter · their large size looked like small size (stingy portion for the price because famous) · their beef slices tasted perfectly tender + juicy (about 6 large slices) · i liked how they added more soup when we asked (bonus points since we were given very little soup in the beginning) · add their spicy beef butter to enhance flavor (its a must) · its open during late night hours for 宵夜 (went around 1 am) tldr: a must try beef noodle restaurant that has stingy portion but perfect for late night snacking

A decent bowl of noodles but definitely not the best in Taiwan. The beef was tender but the soup and the noodles weren’t that special. They also really hurry you to order so it felt a bit rushed inside.

If this is Taiwan’s most famous beef noodle stall, then this is giving Taiwan’s iconic dish a bad name. The soup is limp, thin, yet very salty and full of msg. Beef tendons are very tough. Food is served without chopsticks, with no chopsticks around the shop in sight. When I walked around the shop looking for chopsticks, the staff sitting against the table looked displeased that I interrupted her rest (is she having a break or is she just idling around?), as she pointed to a black box. But service aside, honestly find the beef noodles here terrible.

I have been waiting for years to try Hot Star and I finally got my chance. It was HUGE, as big as your face, piping HOT, and NOT boneless. Majority of it did not have bones until near the end of the piece. It's super juicy and very tasty. Definitely very inexpensive for this much chicken. Would definitely come again and it is recommended. Just wished it was boneless.

Fresh and crunchy! What The big piece of chicken! It was really good. I believe it was a piece of chicken breast/rib combo because the bottom part of the chicken was the bone part. So if you think the whole piece is a chicken meat, sorry. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually appreciated the bone part of the chicken as well. I love that it was freshly fried. For being freshly fried it didn't feel oily and was very crunchy. It definitely was hot and you need to nibble at it first. There was a lot of the seasoning, whatever the seasoning was, it was GOOD!! Environment This was in Ximending street. It is a stall and there is no seating available. you order and find your seating. It could get busy and chaotic. Niceness of the staff He just wants to take my order and fulfill my order. Let's say that's as far as it went Dollar It was very cheap comparing tot he US. Yes Definitely yes. Worth the hype.

Worth the experience. Super-sized fried chicken on the go, super hot & crispy on the outside & inside was a lot juicer than expected. One order was plenty for 2. Order the chicken first as you can get a discount coupon for the Juice & Tea shop next door. We got the Juice b4 the fried chicken.. should've known!

One of the best friend chicken to try on. Their fried squid is tasty. They charged 2NT for a take away bag.

Huge Taiwanese Fried Chicken! Better flavor profile than their competitor (M). Looks affordable also. However, customer service needs improvement. The one selling is a little short-tempered (in the morning!?) 😂😂😂

Fooled by the Q, should have check the review before buying. The chicken is indeed large at TWD 100 but it is tasteless and dry. Thick coated flour makes everything worst. Taste: 1/5 Portion: 2/5 (60% flour) Price: 1/5

I'm not sure how the original stall in shilin tasted but food from this particular store wasn't good. I picked to eat the fried chicken pieces and tofu. Neither of it was good because they were hard and coarse. I didn't like the chicken texture. The fried tofu had more batter/flour then the tofu. Both items were "over fried", so it was tough. Maybe the original stall is better.

Seems to be really popular with the locals. I was there at an off peak hour, 4pm and while there isn't a snaking queue, there were 5 orders before mine and a constant flow of diners. I ordered a 鲁肉饭便当 which comes with 3 sides and got an additional braised egg. The rice is not as sticky as I would like (not the pearl rice texture) but the braised pork is really good! I like that you can really taste bits of meat and not just fats and a good portion that covered the rice well. The braised egg was also very well braised through. Even the marinated seaweed side was good. A good 鲁肉饭, worth a queue if you are in the area, but not something I would travel all the way for.

I was initially hesitant to try the braised pork belly rice here after reading reviews that the rice they use is not the slightly sticky/gluey kind that I prefer, but I’m so glad I gave it a try! The generous serving of sauce and layer of well seasoned minced pork went surprisingly well with the short grain rice which soaked up the flavours while remaining discrete and yet surprisingly moist. The braised hard boiled duck egg was a really great add-on as it was unexpectedly flavourful. As is to be expected for such popular eateries, I arrived around 1225pm on a weekday and waited till 1240pm before I got a table. The nice lady at the entrance made the system of ordering, getting the queue number for the table, payment etc, very easy even for a first timer.

Definitely one of the best braised pork rice i try while in Taipei. The 卤肉饭 sauce goes really well with the rice. Expect a queue if you come late, and some items may be sold out if you arrived late. Never miss this if you are around the neighborhood!

Hands down one of the best bowls of braised pork rice in town. We’ve tried many and we unanimously agree this was the best we had on any trip to Taipei. Highly recommended! all of the positive reviews speaks for itself!

SO DELICIOUS Definitely one of the best braised pork over rice we’ve had in town. We arrived around 12:30pm and there was already a line. We got their queuing ticket but it was a little confusing so we asked the local in front how it works. The aunty that manages the queue was kind and understanding. Super clean space, affordable price, and very very delicious, highly recommended!

Despite opening at 11:30 a.m., the restaurant already had a queue of ten tables by 11:40. Dine-in guests faced a 20-minute wait, while takeout orders required about 30 minutes. Humble in appearance but rich in flavor, this spot lets its classic Taiwanese staples speak for themselves. A well-balanced mix of locals and visitors filled the space, all drawn by the promise of authentic tastes. Among its specialties, the Braised Pork Rice（控肉饭）stood out—the pork was so tender, it practically melted in the mouth. It's the kind of place for someone who wants to eat like the locals do—without frills, but full of hear

👎I do not recommend this place for tourists. 😡The woman who takes orders behaved in a discriminatory way—she intentionally ignored me, and I ended up waiting much longer than the local customers who arrived after me. The ordering process works like this: each customer takes a menu/bill, fills it out, and returns it to her. Most restaurants I’ve visited are willing to help with translation or menu selection if I explain that I cannot read or speak Cantonese. Unfortunately, this server was not willing to help at all. When I asked for an English menu, she eventually provided one. But even after I had completed my order and tried to hand it back, she deliberately accepted the menus from locals who came after me, treating me as if I were invisible. I had to wait several more minutes before my order was finally received. The food itself was just okay—certainly not worth the poor experience. In fact, I suspect the pork was of lower quality, as it tasted quite gamey. Overall, the disrespect and unwelcoming service completely overshadowed the meal.

After a whole bunch of walking around Shilin, we wanted to sit down for a certified Taiwanese classic - the oyster omelet. This did not disappoint - it sounds like a real oddity, with egg, sweet nutty sauce, scallions, and of course the oysters themselves battling in your mouth. However, the goopy texture, familiar to me as the less grilled parts of a Japanese monjayaki, is kind of awesome, and the ingredients all end up supporting each other harmoniously. The stinky tofu, however, was the other side of the spectrum. I liked the flavour and aroma, but the texture was awful - too chewy on the outside and too hard on the inside, making it quite unpleasant to eat. Skip and get that omelet!

It was about 18:00 on a Saturday, the place was full and the waiting line long, so I decided to take out. Service was great and the food even better! Ingredients all made in-house (e.g. the hot and sweet sauce that accompanies the oyster omelet). Recommended!

The oysters here were cooked well, the sauce is slightly too sweet but what was exemplary was the ‘wok hey’, the breathe of the wok caramel taste that comes with the stir-fried dishes. Food here is definitely high 4 star.

Good smelly beancurd. No. 2 in taiwan. Love the way it stuff the sauce n garlic into the beancurd.

I will not come to this restaurant again. Today, we ordered Fish floss and pork rice, Fried rice noodles, Stinky Tofu and Sautéed Squid Soup and Fried egg. Except fired egg, others dishes were bad. The food came very fast, we expected hot dishes, but the food was warm and cold. The fired rice noodles had many garlic, the garlic lovers should like it, but we don’t like it! Fired stinky tofu was not churchy and warm. It did not fired before serve. Sautéed Squid Soup was disgusting!! The customers who seat next to us also complained this dish!! Finally, the rice was warm and the fish floss was wet. As a common dish, they did bad. We have not visited this restaurant for a long time, but tonight dinner was terrible.

On my must eat list whenever I'm at Shilin Night Market. Loved their fried bee hoon.

Food was OK, I expect to be more, watching people waiting outside, I thought the oyster omelet was going to be good but it wasn’t great…. Plus they gave me a dish first thing then I waited for an other 20 minutes later for my omelet!!! My first dish is cold by the time omelet comes… Not impress…. I complain about this and they shuffle me off. Over all the place was clean! The food wasn’t up to my expectations! The service was lousy, i’m guessing they don’t really care because it’s tourist place you come eat once you’re gone…. Too bad

My first dinner after arriving in Taiwan 3 days ago. Not sure if I was hungry but I found the soup was good. I ordered one pork rib soup, one meesua and one lurou rice. Guess what? It cost me only NT$170.

Generally, there are many places that sell this soup and I have not try most of them. However, I believed its taste should be similar if not the same. The soup is lightly herbal and tastes sweet so it might not appeal to those who like a heavy dose of herbal taste in their soup. So to those who has sweet tooth do drop in and savour the soup. Enjoy

I’d give it three star not because it’s bad. The taste is good, the make is really basic. The ten herbs soup was tasty but the rib is all bones. Would have loved it maybe because I’m comparing it to how my grandparents would make it at home. For the chicken, I think it’s not as tender and flavourful but it fills me up. The noodle and vegetable is tasty but there’s lack of ingredient. However, if you’re not a local and you want to get a taste of Chinese local cuisine… this is not bad already.

We stopped here because it was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The pork ribs themselves were tender. Broth was fairly plain, but still good! Service and atmosphere here were excellent! Things are efficient! Overall, a pleasant experience and solid choice in the Shilin Market!

Nice, hot, flavorful, dark soup, I loved the chicken one, with 2 drumsticks tender and juicy. The owner is a good reclame for his soup, 70 years old and has more energy than me and my wife together. If you're around the Shilin night market, don't miss this warmly place and his soup.

Good flavor, the ladies from the staff were friendly. While leaving the male staff made a sexist joke, that maybe he assumed I wouldn’t understand and only my companion would. This might be considered local humor but both of us found it disrespectful and unnecessary.

We ate in a rainy day, ribs were really good but who hate the herbal smell is not recommended. My father said the goat meat noodles was good too. But they use one-time bowls, not very sustainable.

Had to try this place after all these high reviews. Unfortunately, it didn’t live up to the hype. Was not as tasteful compared to other Taiwanese fried chicken places, and the waiting time was quite long as well 😔

Very nice

Nice👍

Love this place, their chicken skin is the best!!!

Nice

Nice

Great

The food looks so good from outside and turns out it’s really good!! Must try!!

The chicken is juicy and crispy. The price is much cheaper than in HK store. Even the shop here gives more powder, the favor is much weaker than the one in HK.

The original one is very good . Only 100 TWN

MongGa Chicken is very tasty and yummy. Their chicken is delicious and very huge. You can choose what you want and your taste. There are different tastes such as original favour, seaweed favour, spicy favour, etc. Our favourite taste is seaweed, the taste is very strong and smell so good.

My go-to place for Taiwan fried chicken. It's freshly made with a good variety of sauces to choose from.

The most moist and juicy Taiwanese fried chicken that I ever tried on this recent trip. Very impressed.

Good

A halal certified! The chicken a bit pricey but acceptable! The cashier can't speak English, but need to make sure you have a translator at least! You should try a half chicken set, really tasty!!!! Fries also not bad. Almost Fried Chicken Master outlet provide space to guest. A must visit in Taipei! Tips: But remember, if they said closed at 10:30pm, no, you must come at least before 10:00pm!!!

Delicious fried chicken and instant noodles. Surprisingly good. Very juicy and thick cut fried chicken. Noodles taste great. Instant noodles like Indomie. Simple and delicious. Only a few seats on the side. Better to take away. Wait time is a big long due to only one staff at the shop. Not bad if you want to grab a quick bite.

I came around 11.25am.. the store’s door half open. Waited until 12pm still didnt open. Ask the staff but it seems like he didnt speak english. He just said no when I ask what time he will be fully open & taking order.

Craving for fried chicken during in Taipei. There are several branches of Fried Chicken Master. However, Nangang branch is close due to exhibition hall renovation. So I went at Gongguan branch. Halal fried chicken. Love the taste of fried boneless chicken breast and fried sweet potato.

Only one staff worked at the time, so we had to waiting almost 1 hour. The staff very friendly, they gave me permission to take a pray here. My favorite is thai sweet jimbo cutie, and I also order frozen thigh chicken here. Definitely will come back again.

Been searching for a halal chicken place and happy to have found it. It has several branches. The one I went is nearby Gongguan MRT station exit 1. It is also nearby the night market. Which is super strategic :)

The chicken was too oily to eat. KFC is far better option than this. The only plus point is that it is halal. The chicken was also not crispy. It was just too soft and we just couldn’t finish it. If they can make sure that it doesn’t get too oily, then it can be a better place to eat fried chicken.

No frills just good food with clean and air conditioned environment

Disappointed. Meat is fatty. Small serving. Vegetable has no taste. Don't understand why it is recommended by many.

Very good place for Taiwanese food, and quick eating.

Absolutely delicious Taiwanese cuisine - simple and fresh.

The food is ok but you can get the same quality or better for cheaper. Still, it's not terrible and the service is good. I just think it's a bit over priced for the food. Their sausage is pretty good

The food is good but the wait is too long even not so many people are in the restaurant. Some mistakes of the delivery of the food and also on the order.

The place is not big or comfortable, but the the food is good and the service as well.

I’ll mention some positive points about the hostel: they offer a kind of sleeping pod that provides good privacy, and the internal space of the pod is quite spacious, allowing you to keep your belongings like some clothes or equipment. The bed is comfortable, and the room was at an ideal temperature. The bathroom is large, featuring six sinks for brushing teeth, four shower stalls (with good, hot water), and three toilet cubicles. The place was cleaned every day. They also have a spacious common area for socializing and cooking, though I rarely saw people there. Some points for improvement: the WiFi is not always consistent. I had to connect and disconnect many times! it would be helpful to include in the booking website instructions which floor to check in on, as when I arrived at the hostel’s entrance elevator, there was no sign indicating where to go. Another point I believe should be a courtesy is the availability of bath towels, which is currently a paid service. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and it ranks among the best hostels I’ve stayed at. The check in is at the 5th floor.

I had a great stay during my time in Taipei with the hostel. The toilets are clean and I love the layout of the capsule. Everyone is kind and super friendly. The location is perfect as it is close to Taipei main station. There are also amazing food near the hostel. Shoutout to the receptionist (apologies I didn’t catch your name), who recommended me to try the best donut in Taipei :)

This place is not bad. Although there’s no all male room, there’s only mixed and females only. Place is clean which I liked. It’d be nicer if the room was colder. The showers could Have had better shelf to hang your key card / phone/ your own toiletries there’s not much to hang. Toilet is mixed with ladies and men so be mindful when changing. That’s the only disappointment I have here

This hostel was a terrific stay in Taipei. It’s centrally located and very near public transportation. The facilities are terrific, and the rooms are very spacious. I would definitely return

Best experience I had in Taipei! Great location, clean facilities and friendly staffs! I’d definitely be back for my future trips! 💛

The hostel is 10/10. Very comfortable and clean. The staff are extremely nice and sweet. Would recommend.

Clean rooms, toilets, and common areas. Foreigner friendly. Great recommendations from front desk staff. Common areas were inviting, creating a friendly atmosphere where strangers can meet, hangout, tell stories, and share cultures.

Price is cheap, so don’t expect too much for the taste

So good

Korean restaurant run by Koreans. The potato is pretty good. Otherwise, an averagr Korean restaurant.

So-so Side dishes are too salty.

Good

The food here is terrible, and the portions are too small.

Nice customer service and excellent meal.

(Translated by Google) ⭕️Boneless salt crispy chicken, squid, sweet and spicy, delicious ⭕️The garlic slices are enough 🥲Plum powder sweet potatoes are very salty (the container used for sprinkling plum powder, pepper and salt is universal) and very dark. 🥲Onion rings are so bitter, salty and soft 🥲The egg tofu softens quickly -Purchased on site, not delivered (Original) ⭕️無骨鹽酥雞、魷魚、甜不辣好吃 ⭕️蒜片給的很夠 🥲梅粉地瓜很鹹(梅粉、胡椒鹽的灑粉容器通用)，也很黑 🥲洋蔥圈好苦、好鹹、軟趴趴 🥲雞蛋豆腐軟的很快 -為現場購買，非外送

(Translated by Google) It’s a delicious salty crispy chicken restaurant! Recommend their thick fries, sweet and spicy and chicken steaks It tastes less greasy after removing oil The store will add onions and garlic, which makes it super delicious. The first choice for late night snack🤩🤩 The small disadvantage is that the waiting time is relatively long (Original) 是一家好吃的鹹酥雞店！ 推薦他們的粗薯條、甜不辣跟雞排 有脫油吃起來比較不油膩 店家會附蔥蒜，吃起來超級爽 宵夜首選🤩🤩 小缺點是等待時間比較長

(Translated by Google) The Innocent Bone Salt Crispy Chicken is delicious, but it runs out around 10:30 every day. If you want it, go buy it early. (Original) 無辜骨鹽酥雞很好吃，大約每天十點半左右就沒了，要的要早點去買唷。

(Translated by Google) It's still delicious, but! I changed the type of sweet potato 🥲🥲 and it doesn't have the same crispy texture as before. I hope it can be changed back. (Original) 一樣好吃，但是！地瓜換種類了🥲🥲吃起來沒有以前脆脆的口感，希望可以換回來

(Translated by Google) There is a healthy deoiling machine, which is full of delicious flavors and very economical. Boneless salt crispy chicken, squid, dried tofu, shiitake mushrooms, and king oyster mushrooms are all delicious. (Original) 有健康脫油機，口味滿好吃的，價格很經濟，無骨鹽酥雞 魷魚 豆干 香菇 杏鮑菇都很好吃

(Translated by Google) The ordering process was smooth, but I felt that the chicken steak and salty crispy chicken were not as delicious as before. The fried items were a bit dry, and some fried items were slightly browned. (Original) 點餐接單流程很順，但覺得雞排和鹹酥雞沒有之前好吃，炸的有點乾，有些炸物炸的有些許焦黃

Our first fried chicken when we landed in taiwan and really disappointed with it The portion is big but the taste isn't right They will give voucher for every purchase and can be used to buy drinks at the stall next to it (Can buy iced lemon tea, taste good)

10 minute wait at 9:15pm on a Thursday night. The chicken was so juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. It was huge however managed to eat one all to myself!

The chicken was much larger than I thought and actually took the other half home. It was crispy on the outside and tender juicy inside. The cook definitely didn’t skimp on spice. It smelled and tasted really good. I was lucky that there was no line when I got there. Haha

We loved the chicken. It was worth it for 100NTD. We recommend having it spicy since it has more flavor that way. The queue at night is also really long so be prepared to wait or come early.

Although Hot Star is originally from Taiwan, I find the Hot Star in Manila better. First, the Hot Star in Taiwan are just stalls in street market, while the Hot Star in Manila is a restaurant with seats and with other food items. The Hot Star in Taiwan only offers chicken regular and spicy flavor. The Hot Star in Manila has other flavorings such as teriyaki, etc.

There are two options: the classic and the hot. It's juicy, crunchy, and spicy. However, the flavour is unimpressive.

You can’t go wrong with this EXTRAAA LARGE Chicken from taiwan. 75NTD is definitely worth the price. Seasoning and savory ate perfect! ❤️

Ordered uber. The fries are so oily and wet. The tempura is not crispy at all and wet as well. I ordered middle spicy and it’s too spicy. Not satisfied at all. Think twice before order at this place!

(Translated by Google) The landlady is kind and polite. Crispy chicken steak is a good companion in the cold winter. Take a big bite without cutting it. The crispy skin + tender and juicy chicken will instantly heal your body and mind! The egg tofu has a sweet and fragrant texture that cannot be found outside. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is worth buying again~ (Original) 老闆娘為人親切、有禮。脆皮雞排是冷冷冬天的好夥伴，不剪的大口咬下，酥脆的外皮+鮮嫩多汁的雞肉，瞬間療癒身心！ 雞蛋豆腐更是外面吃不到的甜香口感，外酥裡嫩，值得回購～

(Translated by Google) I ordered takeout from a place that was terrible. The fried food was terrible and dry, and there was one dish missing. They gave me sweet and sour food, but I didn't see the note about adding spice. I called to ask, and they told me I didn't see the note. I was speechless. (Original) 叫外送叫的超雷的一間店，餐點炸的難吃又乾而且又少一份餐點甜不辣給我，還沒看備注 加辣，打過去問還跟我說我沒看到備注又夠無言

(Translated by Google) A very delicious fried chicken restaurant. Garlic is added to the fried chicken nuggets, which is very fragrant! The chicken chop is big and crispy. The most important thing is that the owner claims that the oil is changed every day! (Original) 非常好吃的一家鹹酥雞，鹹酥雞雞塊會放大蒜，好香喔！ 雞排又大炸的又酥脆，重點是老闆有標榜每天都會換油喔！

(Translated by Google) I really advise everyone not to buy it. I’m so greedy that I want to order salty crispy chicken for delivery. I saw that this restaurant has very high ratings on Uber. But the portion is really small. The chicken is full of wood and is as hard as a rock. The king oyster mushrooms are cut into small pieces and wrapped in super thick flour. I don’t eat flour at all. All in all, the two items are $141. It’s so lonely after eating🙃 (Original) 真的奉勸大家不要買 嘴饞想說叫個鹹酥雞外送 看到這間在Uber評價也是頗高 但份量真的超少 雞肉又有夠柴 硬的像石頭一樣 杏鮑菇切的又小然後粉裹超厚 根本在吃麵粉 總而言之兩樣$141 吃了個寂寞🙃

(Translated by Google) Call at least 4 times a month. 2 servings of green beans just called. Not even half of it was delivered. I called the boss and insisted on releasing it. The problem is that I didn’t receive it... Do you think I want the 80 yuan?zzzzzzzz (Original) 一個月最少叫4次 剛剛叫的四季豆2份 送來沒半根 打電話給老闆 一直堅持有放 問題我就是沒收到啊⋯⋯難道覺得我要a這80塊嗎zzzzzzzz

(Translated by Google) The portions are not big, but the chicken steak has a high CP value. The boss would skip meals when ordering (but he would charge the money), and he would only find out when he got home to eat. Because of the crayon drawings, it is difficult to clarify... Therefore, it is recommended to only order his chicken steak!!! (Original) 東西份量不多，但雞排的CP值很高。 老闆點餐會漏餐(但錢有收),回家吃才發現。 因為蠟筆劃單的，很難厘清… 因此建議只點他的雞排!!!

(Translated by Google) I ordered the Smoked Chicken Noodles with Crab Sauce (80 yuan). The sauce was rich, the flavor was strong enough, and there were plenty of ingredients. Although you can’t see the sauce in the photo, you will realize after eating it that it is actually enough. I can feel that many people mistakenly think that this is another store. The boss will remind you again that this is a store for people. The replies from other store owners who commented are also very interesting (because of this, I want to try it). It is a pity that I forgot to take the menu, otherwise I will... You can put the current menu up It is recommended that the store can add new photos of the store (meals, menus, store appearance, etc.), because the existing photos are actually not very attractive. I originally asked my friend if he wanted to eat together, but he was not interested after seeing the photos. Got it (Original) 點了蟹醬燻雞直麵（80元），醬料足、味道夠濃、料也多，雖然照片看不到醬料，但吃到後來會發覺其實是夠的 能感受到很多人誤以為這是其他店，老闆還會再次提醒這是民享店，其他評論的店家回覆也很有趣（也是因為這樣而想吃看看的），可惜忘記拿菜單，不然就可以把目前的菜單放上來 建議店家可以新增店家照片（餐點、菜單、店家外觀……等），因為目前現有的照片其實不太吸引人，本來有問朋友要不要也一起吃，但他看了照片就沒興趣了

(Translated by Google) The portion size is generous, the value is high, and the crab sauce is delicious. (Original) 份量多，Cp值高， 蟹醬口味好吃

(Translated by Google) Super delicious! I originally ordered pesto sauce but the boss said there was no more. I ordered clam noodles with cream and white wine instead. The clams were very big and fresh. I had picked them before. The cream was not greasy and fragrant. There were plenty of ingredients, but I recommend the cabbage. Can be replaced with cauliflower to go better with pasta~ (Original) 超好吃！原本要點青醬但老闆說沒有了～改點了奶油白酒蛤蜊麵，蛤蜊很大顆也很新鮮是有挑過的～奶油也不會很膩非常香，料多實在，但建議高麗菜的部分可以換成花椰菜比較搭義大利麵～

(Translated by Google) The company is ordering food delivery today Colleagues are full of praise Plenty of ingredients, cheap and delicious (Original) 今天公司叫外送 同事們紛紛讚不絕口 料多便宜味道好

(Translated by Google) I, my relatives and friends have been buying from this store for many years, and there has never been a situation where I was given 1 piece🌟! It must be the wrong store! Although this store offers delivery, the owners themselves deliver the food. The nearby cram schools also often order meals from this store! 👍👍I recommend it to friends who like to eat for reference😄 (Original) 本人與親友在此店購買多年，並無像給1顆🌟的情況！應該是搞錯店家了！此店家雖有外送，但都是老闆他們自己在送的.附近的補習班也都常訂此店家的餐點喔！👍👍本人推薦給喜歡吃的朋友參考看看😄

(Translated by Google) If you want to eat pasta, don’t be wronged. Today my wife accidentally slipped into this restaurant while delivering food. We ordered the Xinzhuang store. I ordered a garlic spicy bacon pasta. I thought I was in The assorted fried noodles at the snack bar were so bad that I couldn't swallow the whole portion after two bites. However, the price was really a good deal, but I couldn't describe it as pasta at all. When I bought it, I could only treat it as a normal snack. Look at the fried noodles in the store. (Original) 如果想吃義大利麵的各位，就千萬別冤枉了，今天老婆外送無意滑到這間，我們訂的是新莊店，我點了一個蒜香辣培根義大利麵，我還以為我在吃小吃店的什錦炒麵，爛到一個極致，整份麵吃兩口就吞不下去了，不過價格實在是划算沒錯，只是根本不能用義大利麵來形容，買的時候就只能當一般小吃店的炒麵來看待。

(Translated by Google) It sucks! ! All the websites (google, FB) were still using the old menu prices. I called and ordered first. After I picked it up, I found that the price of the cream bacon pasta I ordered was 79 yuan. I immediately asked: Your online menu is not 55 yuan. ? The store owner said: Oh, that was from before, I will tell our lady to respond. (Are you saying hello🙄? ) Me: Panda’s current discount is NT$99 for two. I looked at your online menu and wanted to pick up two 55X2s. It’s a little more expensive than Panda but it saves time, so I picked them up myself. As a result~~it feels like I’m being sat on and the price is raised! Just say your own mistakes: Oh, it's not my fault, it's everyone else's fault. Then continue to lie, right? The difference of tens of dollars is not the point! The important thing is that the store has no integrity and sincerity, I'm so angry... (Original) 爛爆了！！ 所有網路上（google, fb)都 還在用舊的菜單價錢，打了電話先訂餐，自取後發現點的奶油培根義大利麵價格是79元，立馬問說：你們網路菜單不是55元？ 店家說：歐～那是之前的，我會跟我們小姐反應。（是在哈囉🙄嗎？ ） 我：熊貓現有優惠，兩個99，我看了你們的網路菜單才想說自取兩個55X2，比熊貓貴一點但省了時間，所以我才自取。結果～～感覺就是被坐地起價！自己的錯誤就說一聲：歐～不是我的錯，都是別人的錯。然後繼續騙是嗎？ 差幾十元不是重點！重要的是店家沒誠信沒誠意，氣不過⋯⋯

Neighbor always put shoes and garbage at the corridor

(Translated by Google) The manager's attitude has always been very bad. He won't even look at you, won't stand up and ask you who you're looking for, won't talk to you, has a very aggressive attitude, and won't help you open doors or windows. When will it be changed? It would be terrible to drop such an unfriendly person. (Original) 管理員態度一直都很差，看都不看你一眼，也不站起來問你要找誰，也不跟你說話，講話態度也很兇，也不幫你開門開窗，到底哪時候要換掉????這種不友善的人，蠻差勁的

(Translated by Google) A few nights ago, when I was delivering food, the manager didn't open the window inside. He pointed at a ghost painting on the window and asked me to see it for myself. When I went in, I couldn't find it, so I turned around and knocked on the door to ask the manager, but he was very impatient and said he didn't want to see it. When I saw the picture and I said I couldn’t understand it, he asked me to go out and look at it again. Couldn’t he have a better attitude? Has your boss ever felt so good about paying you? You didn’t even ask me where to send it, and you didn’t even care about the peace of the residents? (Original) 前幾天晚上送餐過去，管理員在裡面不開窗，比了窗口上的一張鬼畫符要我自己看，進去後找不到又回頭敲門問管理員，結果他很不耐煩說不是看了那張圖，我說看不懂，他就叫我出去再看一次，態度不能好一點嗎？老闆付錢給你這樣爽爽過嗎？也沒問我送哪裡，住戶的安寧都不用顧？

(Translated by Google) The night guard is terrible Ask anything and don't answer They say it’s too late and too dark to see (Original) 晚班警衛真差勁 問什麼什麼不回答 都說太晚太暗看不到

(Translated by Google) Some residents refuse to pay their outstanding management fees, and their tone and attitude are not very good. (Original) 有些住戶欠繳管理費都不繳，口氣態度又不是很好。
