Baxian Grill

Baxian Grill is a sterling example of rechao, the popular “hot stir fry” restaurant popular with Taiwanese locals. Characterized by fresh seafood, freshly stir fried dishes and open air dining, rechao are particularly popular during humid nights where the rooftop ambiance and tasty food pair well with drinking. On a rainy day, we stopped by and it was notably more quiet than typical though still filled with a few large group gatherings. One downside is that smoking is popular We sampled a variety including the signature wet stinky tofu and a variety of vegetable and meat dishes The style for me is reminiscent of Hong Kong’s “dai pai dong” or Sai Kung Harbor fish tank restaurants where wok heat is key The English menu doesn’t have all the items nor are prices shown for everything. You just gotta trust for this one Luckily, everything is delicious and I’d cap this as another stellar Taiwanese meal 📷 Fried Ong Choy / Fried Rice / Fried Clams with Basil / Grilled Pork Blood with Intestines Nt$250 / Grilled Stinky Tofu / Three Cup Boneless Chicken / Fried Pork Intestine NT$250 📍 Baxian Grill (Taipei City, Taiwan) Reservations are available although not required.

It's a busy joint but they kindly accommodated us when we arrived at 5pm on a Saturday without a reservation. I liked the alfresco dining experience, just glad there wasn't any smoker around us. Unfortunately I'm not sure if we ordered the wrong dishes but they weren't outstanding and it was a rather pricey meal overall. Definitely had better in Taipei.

We ordered about 10 different dishes, and nearly everything was amazing. The highlights were the fried rice, suan ni bai rou, and the deep-fried long beans – they were exceptional. The spot is perfect for both eating and drinking, and the service was quick. 👌👌

Baxian Grill is a delightful dining experience that excels in friendly service and group gatherings. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and cater to your needs. It's a fun spot for a lively group dinner, with a vibrant and convivial ambiance. The menu boasts a diverse array of food options, catering to various tastes, and their vegetarian-friendly selections are impressive. Whether you're a meat lover or a vegetarian, Baxian Grill ensures everyone leaves with a satisfied palate and heart. Highly recommended for memorable dining moments with friends and family.

A local outdoor hangout place where we got to try the 18 days Taiwan beer. All the food are soooo good. Service is tourist friendly though lots of local come here Stingky soft tofu, not the fried one is so good here. The steam fish. I think all are good as it is freshly made. I would definitely be interested to come back :)

It is your typical street food turn restaurant. They have been able to keep the flavor of the street food. I was a little bit disappointed with there grill stinkies tofu, because it came in soup base. The duck intestine and the pig grill intestine are worth reordering.

Very traditional The menu has a lot of delicious options Fairly a lot of space 真的很好！

This restaurant has been here for a long time. A lot locals go here. Seating are in a roof top (second floor). And because it's open air, so people can smoke there, which makes it hard to enjoy the food if you are not a smoker. The service was also just acceptable. We didn't order a lot food, but the waiters still managed to bring us the wrong drink and forget one order. Food was also just acceptable. We ordered about 10 different dishes, only enjoy 3 of them. Over all, I would not recommend this place, especially if you are not use to eating your food with a lot of second hand smoke.
