toumei kuuki — Restaurant in Yuanlin City

Is really worth it? I don’t think so.

Out of curiosity and after two weeks of frustratingly tring to get a reservation on their “Line” page, I was able to score a table for two (but for only me and myself). Haha 😃.

Parking is about 300 meters away through a unpaved road. Will be fun to watch when rain.

Average services also, which you can encounter almost at all the so-call high-end coffee shops in Taiwan.

Therefor: One star for the pudding and one star for able to score a...

This is a reservation only restaurant so make your online booking at least a day before.

Parking is somewhat annoying because there’s only a few spots at a nearby temple. Otherwise you need to find street parking that’s even further away.

The signage to the main entrance is small. There’s two ways to get inside, either 1) walk across the farm field on a narrow soil path or 2) walk further along the rocky path and walk over some wooden planks to get to the grass area to continue towards the restaurant building.

I feel like the biggest enhancement the restaurant can do is improve the visibility of the entrance and signage.

Food is great, view is perfect, interior temperature is just right, and the...

Toumei kuuki is one of our favorites among all restaurants we visited in Taiwan this year. It’s located in countryside, in the middle of nowhere. The decor is elegant and beautiful in authentic Japanese style with homy ambiance.

They only serve Prix Fixe menu currently and the set comes with steamed egg, salad, soup, entree, drink & dessert. We had four different entrees and my personal favorite was the Miso Cod with delicate texture & flavorful taste.

We were full but couldn’t resist their signature desserts. All of our four selections were amazingly delicious with delicate texture &...
