家家客家菜館 — Restaurant in Taipei

This restaurant has been in the district for a long time, but we never thought about visiting it in the past years for unknown reasons. Maybe because it looks too common.

After reading the reviews online, we decided to give it try, and it turned out to be one of the good restaurants in this district on our list!

We love the “must eat stinky tofu”, it served with fried thousand-year-old egg and tasted very good. Their “Hakka stir fry” is good, too!

The portion of dishes is standard, not too big not too small. The prices of the dishes are standard and reasonable, too. Actually, the prices are more likely fair compared to other pricey restaurants in this tourist hot spot.

I am not a Hakka, but the food they serve are authentic Hakka cuisine I think. The dishes are salty and thoroughly favored, typical Hakka style. Kids also love the dishes, they even ate two bowls of rices!

Few reminders, Cash only 10% service...

A friend of mine and I randomly visited this restaurant as the original restaurant we planned to go to was full already. As both of us have quite small appetite and planned to save some space for desserts afterwards, we ordered one veggie dish and one pork dish which were both nice; however… here comes the shocking experience.

After ordering, one of the staff (not sure if she is the owner of the restaurant) came to us and said, “It would be better if you ordered more than two dishes. You two occupied one table and only ordered two dishes and one drink.” I was extremely shocked, confused and speechless as I have never experienced this in Taiwan! Seriously…?! How on earth can you say that to your customers? Isn’t it more sensible and environmentally friendly to order the right amount we are able to eat and it’s our right to decide how much food we’d...

Food is really good. The environment is inevitably noisy. If you are seeking for a place where you could chat with a bunch of friends, this may not be the one.

The service is really attentive. However, the price is also not cheap. What you see on the menu is small portion. 1.5x for medium, 2x for big. When you have 6+ people, you are going to order big portion and the price is going to double. My own feeling, even its big portion, I still feel it’s really not big at all. Not to mention the price is doubled...

The food is really delicious. But if you are seeking for a place where you can chat and don’t want to spend too much money, this might not be the most suitable...
