Xiao Lin Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Da'an District

Very bad service Restaurant. We ordered 4 dishes, first 2 came out within 45 mins, which is acceptable since it is packed place. We started at 7.00pm but we waited until 9pm remaining 2 dishes never appeared. We asked the two lady waitresses, the short hair girl basically just snapped at us said it is inside the kitchens just wait. We waited until 9:15pm I decided to pay the bill and came the last 2 dishes, miraculously the Squid dish appears, and waited another 15 mins the last dish which stir fry lotus leaf never came. I pay the bill asked the waitress to exclude the last dish, the short hair waitress practically yelled back it is already cancelled. When I asked which item is that costs Twd750 she yelled again it is the squid. Both waitress are rude but the short hair girl is the worst. Will never go back there again. Prices are expensive for such standard of restaurants. TWD1500 for 2 persons. 3 dishes...

This quick fry restaurant specializes in seafood and does have some unique dishes. During dinner time this place gets really busy and your seating time will be limited. They asked me to return the table in an hour which was fine since the food came out fast. This place is much more expensive than your typical quick fry place. I would estimate it is about 50% higher price than your average place. That would be fine if the food was great. However, I didn’t find the food to be special.

Food: 3.25 stars Value: 3 stars Overall: 3 stars Recommendations: don’t order the stinky tofu unless you really enjoy the braised kind (it is not the deep fried type)

Based on other reviews I ordered the stinky tofu. I really couldn’t eat it because the texture was so off putting. However, I am not a stinky tofu fan. Given the price premium and difficulty in getting a seat I will...

A restaurant that would have been higher rated had the service & atmosphere matched up with its good food.

FOOD Beef is a must-try for steak lovers. Ordered it medium rare and what we got in return was a delicious dish which was tender & really well cooked. 空心菜 was perhaps the crunchiest vegetables I have ever tasted. Thought it went well with the flavourful stir fried clams which was flavourful. Deep fried pork ribs was fried to that right degree of crispiness. Tennderness & crispiness were both achieved.

SERVICE Perhaps it was 10pm. Perhaps the staff were tired. But the general vibes from the staff were less than pleasant & far from welcoming. Quite atypical of what one usually comes to expect from Taiwanese culture. Think the most amusing was when I was 'nodded' to my table when I approached the staff.

ATMOSPHERE -Decent. No...
