Dubu House Breeze Taipei Station — Restaurant in Zhongzheng District

Stone Pot Rice (Smoked Duck) ($188): First time seeing Korean pot rice except for Bibimbap, so I tried this one and another reason is that there are no vegetables which I don’t like. The pot is extremely hot when it is delivered but the smoked duck really hits different to me. Not only can you enjoy the saltiness of smoked duck but also the crisps that are same as regular Bibimbap. In addition, it’s served with a spicy sauce that you can mix some with the rice and duck.

Tofu Ice Cream with Tapioca ($128): The blend of Taiwanese and Korean desserts appeals to me. The tofu ice cream and the tapiocas complement each other perfectly, and pancakes also taste delicious. I highly recommend you try this once.

Rose Milk Tea ($128): I’ve heard of rose milk tea which sounds great but never have I actually tried it before. As a rose syrup lover and buyer, this is definitely one of the greatest milk tea ever. Simply put, it has a strong flavour of rose at the very first sip but it gets lighter at the further sips.

By the way, the restaurant is quite bustling around 7 p.m on Tuesday that you still need to queue for 15-20 minutes by registering via your phone number.

In summary, truly amazing and authentic foods and great quality at such affordable prices, benevolent staff, and the speed of cooking is rapid. I appreciate how creative the dishes, desserts, even the drinks one the menu are in comparison to other equivalents. Besides, there was a robot waiter playing one of the top kpop song: Magnetic by Illit. I’ll definitely be back again in the near future. Overall, it’s a 9.5 out of 10!

FYI, the side dishes, seaweeds, hot tea, and a soybean pudding (comes after the meal) are complimentary, and there’s 10% service charge...

This place is located on the 2nd floor of the station. We were seated rather quickly upon arriving. Once we were seated, the server brought us tea after a few minutes and asked if we’re ready to order or needed a couple more minutes.

We ordered 2 orders of the original tofu soup with beef, medium spice. The side dishes provided were rather bland and the Kimchi was not fermented enough. The hot stone pot of rice came out first, followed by the soup. They provided fresh eggs to crack into the pot.

The soup itself was also kind of surprisingly bland when comparing it to BCD tofu house. It wasn’t as flavorful and when I say flavorful I think it just needed a tad bit more salt and maybe gochujang or something. I’m not sure but it just didn’t “hit” as much as it did in the states. They do have instructions to pour barley tea into the empty hot stone pot for rice so that after your meal, you can enjoy this tea rice mixture to cleanse your palate.

They do box any leftover food for you after you finish your meal. Then they serve you this dessert that’s like tofu/pudding like texture dessert with the likes of sugar syrup, brown sugar, and peanuts. It wasn’t my thing but it was interesting nonetheless.

I will say they’re not very attentive so you’ll need to flag them down if you need something. But other than that this...

It's very tasty Korean food with a few downsides. The prices are on the higher side, which however is understandable considering the location in the main train station. The service is professional and quick, but you can feel that they are pretty stressed because of a high workload. This brings us to the third downside: it's packed and it's loud, since many people are put into a rather small space. The taste of the side dishes (banchan) was a bit disappointing, but the main dishes are really tasty. Rice is served in the stone pot (dolsot) which makes the bottom layer nicely crispy. Portion sizes are pretty big (never had such a big kimchi pancake aka kimchi jeon), so make sure not to order too much. A complementary dessert (Douhua with citrus zest) is included, as well as free-flow barley tea. All in all a solid option with good...
