Bottom Line: The food was great. Would come again and try other dishes. Continue reading for more details below.
The dishes are relatively small and if you're an eater like me, ordering three things will be just about right in terms of how much to get if you're by yourself. I probably could have ordered something else though.
Procedure: There are Chinese, English, and Japanese menus available. You get seated first and given a menu to mark up at your leisure. Once you're ready, you take your menu up to the cashier to place your order and pay. You're given a number and your receipt (which they'll mark off as they bring you your food, so keep that) to take back to your table.
The Food: I ordered the Spicy Sesame Noodles, Chicken and Clam Soup, and Braised Pork Rice. I definitely ate these in the wrong order which I'll explain why.
Spicy Sesame Noodles - I like spicy. Personally, I would opt for the normal sesame noodles because the actual spice they use clashes (my opinion) with the flavor of the sesame which what I really was wanting. It's the kind of spice that you would get from skewers or maybe even some hotpots which just didn't mix with my tastebuds. If you wanted to add chili oil which has a more subtle taste, I think that would be better if you're wanting spice.
Braised Pork Ribs - Reminds me of home. There's a dish in Vietnamese cuisine called thịt kho which has a similar if not exactly the same taste minus the eggs. So this was just great for me personally, but delicious nontheless.
The Chicken Soup with Clam was good. HOWEVER, because the first two dishes were so flavorful and punched with umami, the soup just didn't stand a chance with its subtle taste. I wanted more of it, but because I had the other two dishes on my tongue, it was hard to really fulfill my need that this soup had. So my suggestion, if you order something similar to me, try to eat the soup first. It comes out pipin' hot, the clams are fresh and the soup has a relatively deep flavor of chicken and ginger.

Read moreAmazing food. Loved it and worth every single dollar!
Sesame noodles (70) are the best thing I’ve eaten in taiwan. Nutty with a hint of chili. So simple yet addictive! These come in frozen and dry takeaways if you’d like. Oysters (130) were amazing & so fresh! Luroufan (40) was passable, nothing special. All of their soups (130-190) are amazing. All of the soups are so well flavoured and taste very homey and ‘real’. I’m not a veggie person but I loved the cabbage underneath. All dishes are plated very well.
Service was so good too! Everyone was so friendly. They do offer free noodles (takeaway) for giving them a review - but I wouldve wrote this 5 star review even if there wasn’t such an incentive.
The best restaurant in taiwan. Well worthy of the price and extremely deserving of their michelin recommendation! English speaking...
Read moreCute establishment, they divide the tables with plastic dividers so they can fit more people, which helps with the traffic.
The people working here are really attentive and helpful, making sure that we understood what we were ordering, and that we were comfortable. My friend and I came near CNY, and the staff presented us with new year gifts as a welcome to Taiwan.
The food was really good, definitely get the garlic chicken soup, the garlic melts in your mouth and the goji berries add a nice touch. We also had the garlic noodles, most of the vegetables, and the braised and fried tofu. Everything was really delicious and I wish I staying in Taiwan longer so I...
