Taipei's Popular and Instagrammable Restaurants Where Locals Queue Up for

Sometimes, even though a business is really good and has delicious food, not everyone will know about it. This is because people are tired from waiting in long lines and don't want to recommend it to their friends, lest the waiting time becomes even longer.

Okaeri ramen

Welcome back to Ramen Noodles in the East District. The interior and exterior of the store have a strong Japanese flavor! The soup base is mainly made from pork bones, and the noodles are thin and straight. The owner will ask you if you want a Japanese taste or a Taiwanese taste. The difference lies in the richness of the soup base, but even if it's a Japanese taste, it won't be too salty. With the addition of soft boiled eggs, cabbage, char siu, and green onions, the overall quality is very good, and you can even get a free refill of noodles.

Fat cat fisherman

There are many delicious options in the Qingguang business district, and Fat Cat Fisherman is one of them! The space inside the store is small, but even on regular days, the business is booming~ The store has its own fishing boat, so all the ingredients in the restaurant are delivered directly from the fishing port, so you don't have to worry about freshness! The price of the dishes ranges from $199 to 1200, depending on the seafood ingredients in the bowl of rice, it depends on whether you want to eat good food that day!
Even outside of regular meal times, the dining area at Xiao Long is always packed with customers! In addition to their noodle and rice dishes, their braised meats are also a must-try, with many customers ordering a plate. But the most special dish is the "Sichuan Strange Flavor Chicken"! Spinach is chopped up and spread on top of the chicken, creating a slightly sour and sweet taste with a hint of spiciness. Its refreshing flavor is almost always ordered by every table.
Friends who love to eat dumplings will never miss this Qiao Zhi Wei! In addition to the signature dumplings, there are also chive and scallop flavors. Although the price of Qiao Zhi Wei is higher compared to other dumplings, this disadvantage can be overcome as long as it is delicious! The skin of the scallop dumplings is green (because the skin is made of green algae), and it seems tasteless when eaten alone, but it can actually bring out the freshness of the scallops. Moreover, you can eat a whole scallop inside, not just scallop shreds! Although one dumpling costs eight yuan, it is still acceptable~

Within the mountain chicken

ShanNei Chicken in the Nanjichang Lane is a must-try food that often has long lines. The chicken leg rice is quickly sold out. The soy sauce on the chicken rice may look a bit salty, but it tastes great with the juicy and tender chicken, and the addition of ginger adds a refreshing touch. However, the chicken rice only comes with chicken and rice, and if you want some vegetables, you need to order them separately.
