Duck Zhen — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

This bowl of braised duck rice immediately captivates with its rich aroma. The glossy sauce seeps into the white rice, infusing each bite with layers of duck fat fragrance and savory depth. The duck meat is tender yet pleasantly chewy, retaining its natural flavor, while the bits of braised pork fat add a luscious, salty-sweet richness that’s indulgent but never greasy — truly irresistible from the first bite to the last.

The accompanying offal soup complements it perfectly. The broth is clear yet full-bodied, carrying the essence of duck bones balanced with the gentle spiciness of shredded ginger. Each sip is warm and soothing, with the cleanly prepared duck innards adding both texture and depth.

Overall, this humble duck rice set showcases exquisite craftsmanship — flavorful, comforting, and deeply satisfying. Whether for lunch or a late-night meal, it’s the kind of dish that fills not only the stomach but...

This place feels very typical Taiwanese, but I honestly don’t understand the hype. The restaurant gives off a rather dirty impression — the walls look like they haven’t been painted in years and the toilet was absolutely disgusting.

The food is cooked fresh to order, which is good, but the result wasn’t impressive.

The line moves fast

What to do when you arrive (2 or more people) -Have one person (If in a group of 2 or more) find a table and leave an umbrella there or text the table number to the person waiting in line. -The person in line will order -They will bring your food to your table and ask for you pay upon the delivery of the food. -Pay in cash

Solo Travelers: Just stand in line to order. There is a large table I. The same area as the ordering area and just have them send the food there.

My Impression: It is definitely good and inexpensive. However, this is not a restaurant that I would crave and want to go back to as soon as possible. You will most likely see a queue unless you are there when it is opening up but it is a fast moving line. Eating is a 10minutes job.
