Kikugawa Japanese Pavilion — Restaurant in Songshan District

The freshness of the sashimi here is alright, but not really exceptional. For the price, I would definitely say that there are better places to eat.

Their handrolls are very good, but that's pretty much the only positive thing I can say. The service is passable but not great.

The worst part of my experience was that the restaurant was FULL of flies. There were flies everywhere, so I'm not so confident in the cleanliness of the kitchen area. I was finishing my meal at 3pm, and the staff were swatting at the flies with electric fly swatters... while I ate.

Maybe I just had bad luck with my experience, but I definitely won't be...

🇹🇼 Right before flying back to Europe, I had one last unforgettable taste of home — A private dinner crafted by a legendary banquet chef from Tainan, who also happens to be the official chef for presidential state banquets in Taiwan.

Everyone knows that Tainan locals are true connoisseurs, and this master chef is a national treasure. He’s not only served presidents but is also the go-to for political and business elites. No gimmicks, no fuss — just pure culinary excellence, dish after dish.

Honestly, not even the Michelin stars I’ve tried across Europe compare to the depth and soul in his flavors. This wasn’t just a dinner — it was a culinary farewell, a heartfelt send-off from Taiwan, wrapped in warmth, tradition, and masterful taste.

🇹🇼...

Very comfortable neat place. I was just passing by, and surprised by the nice service and quality food. I went faith the the lunch special set and tuna sushi roll. Pretty nice experience! Would love to...
