錫鼓 Tin Drum — Restaurant in Tainan

Nothing special if you have been to Japan or if you are Japanese or if you expect to eat good food. The food is not very Japanese inspired and has nothing unique about it. The hospitality is almost non-existent besides someone taking you to your seat for your reservation. The location and environment is suppose to make you feel special especially if you are a tourist but if you have traveled to other parts of Taiwan that also have Japanese style tatami restaurants or if you have been to Japan then you might not find this place to be very unique or as impressive. If you really want to experience eating inside a very old style Japanese looking Tainan house and take photos then you will probably enjoy it...

WILL NOT COME AGAIN or should actually say REGRET COMING. Awful service, was just asking about the things on the menu, and one of the server literally mocked at me after my friend and I walked out the door. (Right, I was out there taking photos so I heard them laughing really loud). Have no idea what’s the problem with her, it’s seriously impolite and disrespectful. I can understand one’s face not cheering up all the time, but IT IS SUPER RUDE MOCKING OTHERS.

Food and beverage was just okay but not the price (tiny portion). Frankly the space will be attracting if nothing...

Cute Japanese style cafe.

I came here to get away from the hustle and bustle of the streets of Tainan, and thankfully, that's what I got.

The cafe is located in what likely used to be someone's home. They decorate the place to look retro but placing Showa Era knickknacks throughout the cafe. Lots of people use the background for taking pictures so don't feel guilty if you want to whip put your camera too.

The waffles are yummy. We tried the season fruit and matcha one. I was shocked that they gave me a whole passion fruit. I've never seen a real one in person...
