艾米餐飲館 — Restaurant in Hualien City

For 4 adults and 2 kids (5&7 years old), the ntd 2500 meant for 5-7 pax was a little excessive. Thai seafood salad, seafood pancake, tokyo pork ribs, steamed fish, steamed herbal prawns cabbage with dried shrimp, bonito seafood soup (wasn't much seafood though) the sweet bread/fried mantou loaf.

Nonetheless, food was enjoyable, presented in a visually appealing manner and food was very tasty.

Though we spoke Chinese, we didn't understand some terms (eg:bonito in Mandarin). Felt the waitress was a bit impatient/ condescending (eg: don't you know.... or this is sweet, you didn't ask for it to be sent later)

But nothing bad enough to stop us from coming back to eat here again...

For those who are familiar with Singaporean local cuisine, I'd say it's like Ah Yat Turf City standard, maybe down...

It sounds strange, but in a tourist city with hundreds of (small) restaurants, there are just a few that offer an extended selection of authentic Chinese quisine on the menu. This restaurant is a welcome exception. It is a great place to visit if your party is at least 4 people. The portions are generous, so with a larger group, you can sample more different dishes. And these are surprisingly good! Prices...

This was one of our favorite dining experiences in Hualien. The staff were friendly and helpful, recommending some of their best-selling dishes—all of which we really enjoyed.

The atmosphere is relaxed but still feels thoughtful and well-kept, and the restaurant itself is clean and comfortable. I’d definitely come back again, especially with a bigger group so we can try even more...
