The friendly staff welcomed me with warm smiles, setting the tone for a delightful dining experience. 😃 🍲 The menu at Xiaolizi Rice Porridge is a treasure trove of traditional Taiwanese dishes, with the rice porridge being the star of the show.

Price is not so transparent as not obviously displayed or indicated on any where. Food is average taste, staff are quite attentive though. Overall a different experience compared to normal pick dishes places.

Pretty good food was reasonable price A great variety of dishes to choose from

Our 1st meal in Taipei, very late dinner cum supper. We are so excited and ordered so many plates of dishes to try out all the flavours. Yummy and satisfying...smelly toufu, soya sauce pork belly and etc.Honestly, it's something anyone should try if you visit taiwan as all locals eat here too. Our total cost NTD 1300 for 4 pax...I'm not sure, too expensive? The unique way of this restaurant, you do not know how much it dish will cost you. You just point and point to make order over the counter. Then, after you seated down & start eating, there will be one guy walk over and do his own assessment without even talk to us. After that, he will bring over 1 bill listed the cost and leave it on the table. You pay your bill based on that bill.

Really enjoy dining here. The food is delicious, well priced, the atmosphere is very family style. We had a group of three and tried a few dishes. Stinky tofu was awesome, rice and fried egg were perfectly cooked and the fish(cod) was delicate and fresh. Overall would recommend this place for a casual dinner with friends or family any night of the week!

A friend brought me here for dinner. Delicious food and great dining experience! Would love to dine here again on my next trip to Taiwan!

Not sure why the bad reviews but I really enjoyed the food here. Apparently its everyones go to place for after drinking or late night snacks. The food is displayed and you just choose what you want to eat or heat up. After that, you sit on a table and they give you some porridge too. Wide selection of food that tastes good for it being 2am. Rowdy inside as you can imagine and not the tidiest but you're here to sober up with food anyway.

This was our go-to place for years if we need late night snacks or suffered the jet lag munchies. Always loves the food and the unlimited porridge. However, our most recent visit wasn't quite as pleasant. The portions are significantly and noticeably smaller and the service was less than stellar. As we always get lots of dishes, the server didn't allow us to take a slightly larger table, but directed the four of us to squeeze in a little corner with 4 chairs that barely had enough food for our food. We supported them through times when their business was suffering, but I think we'll be looking for other go-to place for next time.

The only 清粥小菜 around here that's still alive. It's quite expensive but you get free parking and very good quality food + service. My go-to restaurant for dinner on typhoon day. Wide selection of food. Also a popular location after clubbing apparently.

Open late! Great no frills option for quick sit down dinner if you're getting in from a late flight or hungry after bar or club hopping. You get a pot of rice porridge with sweet potato for the table and order a bunch of sides from a hot plate type setup. Super filling comfort food, I appreciate that you can get a bunch of veggies in if you want. I generally recommend trying a bunch of stuff including the garlic cucumber, thousand year egg with tofu, peanuts, chili chicken, eggplant, cabbage, tomato scrambled egg, etc.

Apparently this is the joint to got late at night after heavy drinking. There's a wide variety of menu items, And everything was pretty decent. I'd come here again. The pride we got was not seasoned. Not sure I'd that's the style or that's all their porridges there. Something to keep in mind.

"THE place to enjoy left over food" This restaurant (and every congee place near by) starts their day like this: around 9am the cooks start to prepare the food in the back alley, where they also use to store the compost from last night. They bring out the food around 11 to sit on the buffet steamers. Most of the dishes will sit there all the way pass midnight. Oh, then they charge customers a huge premium over stir-fried places because their food are "fresh made and healthy". THE place to go for if you enjoy left over and unsanitary food.

My parents like coming here for dinner but I am not the big fan because some dishes are super greasy and the price is a bit high. The congee or rice (at ur choice) are free refill. You can order fried eggs, egg dishes and veggies on site as well. Cook by order.

This is a good spot of Taiwanese style congee. This place has been around for a while and it's known for opening till 5am and its varieties of dishes. It's a pick your dish style. On the right side is non vegetarian and left side is vegetarian. They will portion each dish based on your party size ( they do have single person servings too ), most 2 person portion dishes are around $70-$80 NTD. Once you select your dishes, you can grab a seat on the second floor where they will bring you the congee ( with yam!). The congee is unlimited refills and it's only $20 NTD per person. My favorites are : braise pork belly, egg and tomatoes, soft tofu ( by large pieces). But everything is just really good, you can't go wrong here.

Dirty. 骯髒. The customer service is terrible. I got a rash from touching their table. Smells of stinky tofu and is not very suitable for the uninitiated in Chinese stinky cuisine. Food isn't fresh.
