"Founded in 1978, this shop made its name with rice steamed in a soft rush-woven pouch that imparts unique aromas. Though no longer cooked that way, quality local rice is now topped with a dab of house-made pickled potherb mustard for savoury sweetness. Their deep-fried boneless chicken thigh with a golden, crispy crust and juicy meat goes down a treat with the rice. It tends to be busy at mealtimes, so come in the afternoon for shorter queues." - Michelin Inspector

The best fried chicken we had during our trip. There was a long wait for a table even when we came around 3pm, so we chose to takeaway their top three sets to eat at our hotel. The beef was okay, served in a gravy-soup, the pork chop was tasty but we were blown away by how perfectly crispy and tender the fried chicken was!

I came here for the lunch and everything is good. The food taste well, hot & suitable for a raining day. The atmosphere in the store seems cozy, full of table but not too noisy. The price is ok as well, we have the bill of 800 TWD for 5 people

Great quality for the price, clean environment and friendly staff. Not much more you can ask for when it comes to local Taiwanese food. The pork chop was crisp yet juice, the stir-fried vegetables were fresh and had a nice wok-hey depth to them. There was a short wait when arriving at 12:30pm but the line went fast and I was eating by alittle after 12:45.

Ate here on our first day in Taichung and this Michelin Bib did not disappoint. Me and my boyfriend were struggling since they do not have an english menu but the staff helped us so much. Loved the crispy chicken thigh and leg as well as their beef stew. The veggies were also refreshing.

Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. Specializes in their fried chicken. I found the food tasty but not something super special. Chicken was seasoned well and perfectly crispy with a very moist centre but not much different to the night market fried chicken down the street. The cucumbers are quite nice to cut the grease of the chicken and rice pairing, it gets difficult to eat so much friend chicken with rice in my opinion. The specialty kimchi was too sweet and nothing too special. The new marinated egg was tasty, but you can get a similar egg at seven eleven for half the price that tastes the same if not, more flavourful. The A Cai was stir fried very well, perfect amount of seasoning, spicy and Wok Hei. Miso soup is miso soup. Tastes like any other restaurant. Overall, we waited 20mins on a Tuesday at lunch time. It was worth it but I wouldn’t necessarily be craving it again.

None of the staff speaks english but theyre really helpful! The batter is just divine. I would say that their pork chops and chicken are seasoned very well but the batter they use to fry takes it to a whole another level. I prefer the chicken compared to the pork cause the chicken skin part with the batter is just crazyyyy

A simple and yummy food affair. For the price point, the spare ribs and chicken are really delicious. Best to select the set meal that comes with white rice top with preserved olive. Recommend to try this in Taichung.

First meal here in Taiwan that we closed our eyes as we savor our meal. It’s a wonderful experience to each such delicious food. We had the beef and pork chops with rice and miso. The signature kimchi was also such a delight! 🌟
