WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
A creative Taiwanese restaurant with roots going back to 1973 that found a new wave of devoted fans after relocating in March 2023.
1973年創業、2023年3月の移転を機にさらに人気が加速した創作台湾料理の老舗。
Original dishes like shallow-fried shumai and bottarga fried rice — unavailable anywhere else in Tokyo — are served at lunch prices starting around 1,000 yen, a value that regulars consistently call one of the best deals in the city.
皿焼売やからすみ炒麺など、ここでしか食べられない独創的なメニューが揃い、ランチは1,000〜1,999円という驚きのコストパフォーマンスを誇る。
Expect a queue every lunchtime and dinner reservations booked solid six months in advance.
昼は必ず行列ができ、夜は半年先まで予約が埋まる激戦店として、食好きの間で広く知られた存在だ。
