Dumplings Taipei

Our friend from Taiwan recommended this place to us. We ate there today and we're not disappointed. Many traditional Taiwanese meals to choose from and desserts. The food was delicious and the service was great. I always find that restaurants like this that are lacking atmosphere and decor, more than make-up for with their tasty food. Thank you.

Hidden little restaurant in a quiet piazza on the main road. Came here on Sunday lunchtime and it's half full. Service was good, it's interesting to see they have a corner selling asian grocery too. Ordered sesame oil chicken noodle soup. The soup base is really delicious, decent portion size and pretty authentic. Plenty of choices on the menu. Good value for money.

We had a quick lunch at this popular Taiwanese joint and ordered two rice sets (lu rou fan and lardy rice) plus oysters' omelette as side dish. We also got the fried taro cakes for dessert. All rice sets are good, authentic Taiwanese comfort food and we love them. The oysters' omelette seems to be their signature dish since many customers beside us also ordered it. It is quite nice, but the sauce is a bit too sweet for us. The taro cakes are nice little snacks and they're not too sweet. Prices on the menu are quite good value for money and comparable with other popular Taiwanese joints across Sydney. Customer services from staff member(s) are good and efficient. The place is not big, but has reasonable ambience for customers to enjoy their meal. You can pay with credit cards with additional 2% surcharge, which is high and unfortunate. Normally you only pay around 1 to 1.5% for this kind of surcharge.

My grandma died last year right before my birthday and with her the last ties to being a child in this lifetime. After a long week of work, I wanted comfort food for a sore and tired full-time employee on a Friday evening. Without realising, I ended up at this place and was welcomed in by the owner's daughter still in school. Looking for something warm for a late Autumn night I gravitated towards the sesame oil chicken noodle soup, a plate of boiled pork and chive dumplings and a cup of warm soy milk. Ambience was lovely and I was glad to see the restaurant was deservedly at full occupancy by the time I finished my meal and paid. It was only as I was on the way home with a full belly of great homemade food that I began to tear up and cry remembering my meal was the equivalent of the few dishes my recently deceased grandma knew how to make back when I was still only 4 and both parents that had recently migrated here were working full time leaving only herself and me at home with my younger brother. It wasn't the best dumplings I had ever had in my life in terms of quality, but the imperfections of homemade cooking was what made them better than fine dining today in a way that couldn't be copied and is desperately in short supply these days. Thank you for letting me revisit those years and I'll be back.

Some foods (eg. red bean pancake, veg pan fried dumplings, veg buns) are nice and tasty, the elder lady staff has very nice manner. Found steam veg meatball has too strong pork flavour and not for me.
