真真庵壽司割烹 — Restaurant in Songshan District

This was an unforgettable omakase dining experience that quickly dispelled any concerns about portion size; each course was abundant and satisfying. The restaurant excels in fresh sashimi, sushi, and various cooked dishes. The seafood, especially the ark shell clam, sea urchin, and tuna belly, was impressively sweet and flavorful, with the torched mullet roe and horsehead fish standing out as must-try highlights. The chef provided detailed explanations of each dish and thoughtfully adjusted the pace, enhancing the overall experience. Service was equally attentive, accommodating dietary preferences—such as offering alternative dishes for those who don’t eat beef— and even adjusting tableware placement for left-handed guests. Thoughtful touches like personal care items in the restroom further exemplify their dedication to customer comfort.

The setting is elegant and tranquil, ideal for celebrations, with private dining rooms available. The relaxed, friendly atmosphere at the sushi counter, coupled with the chef's warm humor, adds to the experience. Conveniently located a five-minute walk from Nanjing Fuxing Station, reservations are required with a 1000 TWD deposit.

The beef was very good but I don't quite get the prawn head. You get a complimentary dish if you are celebrating your birthday and quite a few people did that so it was rather nosiy. Didn't speak to the chef but he chatted quite a bit with another group of diners. It would be good if he...
