A-Mei Restaurant

A very traditional Chinese restaurant with some seafood specialties. It reminded me of every Chinese place I went to with my parents when I was a kid. Homely vibe with massive tables equipped with lazy susans. Everything was made fresh to order with big portions. I especially enjoyed the whole cod fish. The flan was good too, but a bit too much for my liking. Overall, only about $90 USD for three people, which included drinks and dessert. Would recommend.

Definitely 1 of the best meal in Tainan! Very localised Taiwanese style restaurant which well known among the people in Tainan. We had most of their signature dishes and all the dishes were not fancy type but really delicious! Our favorite of the night was the braised duck thick soup!

horrible! our worst meal ever in Taiwan! arrived at 8 pm & was informed "most of their dishes are already out of stock". they don't even have basic white rice. we ordered their casserole duck, fried noodles & one fried cabbage. the cabbage, pale & unappealing, turned out to be the only dish that was barely edible. the casserole duck was an absolute disappointment - the soup was oily & bland, the duck meat tough & tasteless. the noodles were a nightmare! overcooked & soggy, & just beyond tasteless. we never like to waste food, & there was really ALOT left, but we decided not to torture our souls with this nightmare. we tried to inform the wait staff nicely that we travelled so far from overseas only to be disappointed, but that earned us snide remarks they spoke in their local dialect that they think we couldn't understand. honestly, any street food vendor can serve tastier stuff than here. pure tourist trap. please avoid at all costs, you have been warned.

An institution to Taiwanese cuisine in its own right. Just think Taiwan style full on 10 course wedding banquet, annual D&D or lunar New year dinner. Big dish. It was an absolute joy dining here, for all their dishes were all so good! Thankfully they now have set meals for smaller groups. Highly recommended.

Their specalty dishes are really good. Duck casserole-looks blah but really tasty. It is a big bowl for 6+ people to share. The crab with sticky rice is also worth trying. Service is sub par for the price. Go for just their top dishes and you'll be fine.

Delicious and authentic Taiwanese/Tainanese cuisine. English/Japanese picture menu available. Difficult to order for small group due to large portion sizes. Competing restaurant, Ah-Xia, nearby.

My favorite place to eat in Tainan. Reservations are a must.

We were only three people, so we couldn’t order a lot. The food is amazing, really miss Taiwanese food when you live abroad! The staff are extremely nice and great hospitality! Would love to come back again, hopefully bringing more people and order more! Highly recommend to book and pre-order most of their dishes as they are truly amazing! Some dishes are only available when you pre-order.
