I had high expectations for 台蔡, especially given its Michelin recommendation and the constant long queue outside. Unfortunately, the experience was a letdown from start to finish.
The service is genuinely poor. While the waitresses weren't exactly bad, their attitude was "not nice" to everyone. Customer interaction is zero, they just ask everyone to use QR code to order. When someone tried to ask a question, they were rudely told to wait.
The Food is far from “Authentic”
Salt & Pepper Chicken (鹽酥雞): Incredibly oily, it tasted like plain chicken with no seasoning at all and not crispy too. There were a few basil leaves, they had no flavor. Also, I found a hair in the chicken.
Minced Pork Rice (滷肉飯): The rice was soggy and wet. Minced pork wasn't flavorful. The only decent part was the pickled vegetables.
Egg Pancake (蛋餅): I was disappointed to see they used a scallion pancake as the base. While the taste was okay, very cheesy.
The pacing was the final straw. My boyfriend and I both ordered minced pork rice, he finished his entire meal before mine even arrived.
To the restaurant owner: people queue up because they want to appreciate your food. Please put more heart into it.
