一甲子餐飲

This is proof that some of the best Taiwanese food lives right on the street corner — in a spot that looks like it hasn’t changed in decades. The prices are so good, they practically dare you to order everything on the menu… and I almost did. I showed up on a Thursday morning, 30 minutes before opening, and spotted an old-school paper pad with numbers. Took me a second to figure it out, but it was the queue — a sign of just how popular this place is. They can sell out by noon. Every dish here is outstanding. From the melt-in-your-mouth pork belly bao to the rich braised pork rice to the comforting fish ball soup — everything is so damn good. An absolute must-visit.

The most delicious 刈包 I have ever had. The bun was soft, the meat was tender and juicy, and the subtle peanut taste really enhanced the flavour of the meat. The 滷肉飯 was also really really good! The sauce was not too heavy and the pork was, again, super tender. They also provide some cucumber on the side to cut the fattiness of the pork. Overall this was an amazing meal and I can definitely see myself coming back over and over.

One of the most delicious food in my Taipei trip. Tastes delicate and just balance. No wonder this place is favorites by both locals and tourists. There is quite a queue but does not take long to service. There are seats and table on street side. Please share the seats.

I really enjoyed and loved the soy marinated pork belly. I’m missing it already even that’s my lunch. So delicious and affordable. We also have takeout, the taiwan burger. Yummy!!!

the fattiest and most tender piece of pork i’ve ever had for sure , the best kong rou fan i’ve ever had. the oil seeped into the warm bed of rice underneath, and the second you touched it , IT LITERALLY MELTED. like it was easier to cut through than melted butter and jelly; the spoon sank into the fat as if it was a single entity. despite that, there were also bits and chunks of leaner pork throughout, which made a good balance. the meat wasn’t overly saucy, so you could really appreciate the texture and flavour of the meat. the accompanying ingredients, like the cucumber and sauerkraut, were PERFECT with the heaviness of the oil. it was tangy, crunchy, and really refreshing. the gua bao was also so delicious, and had the same fatty, melty chunk of pork sandwiched between a soft, pillowy, and slightly sweet bao bun. the sauerkraut was sour, the cilantro was sharp, the sauce of the meat made the bao a little bit soggy, but the most prominent of all was the peanut powder — it was earthy and some bites, where the powder had accumulated, were quite sweet. it all went so well with the star of the show, the pork. the wagui wasn’t as stand-out-ish as the other dishes, but still quite yummy. it was like a firm and savoury jelly/pudding, sprinkled with some beans on top. i would have liked a bit more sauce so i could coat every bite, and also more chunks of meat because the taste of the pudding itself was a bit plain. the ladies up front were really kind and stood up for their customers (e.g. when someone cut in line), and had a really soft and friendly tone with me 🙂 there is limited seating, but it’s surprisingly easy to get a spot so don’t worry about that . the tables were also constantly cleaned .

Great to finally experience. It was worth the wait. Long line but service is fast. Unfortunately I didn't get to eat at their tables I just had it to take away, as you might predict tables are limited. Yeah just go, don't hesitate if you see the long line it moves quickly. Ordering tip: just show the pictures what you want to order and just say how many you want. Either take a screenshot from google map reviews or just directly from the photos in google maps.

Yi Jia Zi is a great spot for classic Taiwanese comfort food. We ordered Gua Bao and Lu Rou Fan. Their Gua Bao is soft, flavorful, and filled with tender pork belly, pickled veggies - perfectly balanced and satisfying. The Lu Rou Fan is rich and savory, with braised minced pork over rice Friendly service, fair prices, and authentic flavors make this place well worth a visit. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience classic Taiwanese dishes.

I agree with the previous reviews - food is good in this place, but the wait is excessive. Midday on a Monday we waited 50 minutes. The Bao was the best part, great texture of the bun, the pork was super tender, only thing the sauce was very sweet. The rice with braised pork was good too, I just wish there was more pork. Very good pickle cucumber.

delicious gua pao. their pork belly rice is good as well and so is thw fish ball soup. the rice bowl is ok. the ladies serving are nice considering long lines and the hot weather.

This Michelin-recommended spot (5 years in a row) definitely lives up to the hype. It's busy with tourists, so expect a long line, but the fast service keeps it moving. Seating is limited to sidewalk tables, but takeout is a convenient option. The pork belly is cooked to perfection--melts in your mouth with rendered fat and balanced seasoning that's not overly salty. The guabao is the standout dish, featuring peanut powder, Taiwanese mustard greens, and cilantro wrapped with the pork belly inside a sweet, fluffy white bun. The combination of sweet peanuts and fatty pork is perfect, with the cilantro and mustard greens adding a nice textural contrast. I also tried the rice bowl with pork belly, chilis, cucumbers, tofu, and rice. The crunchy, sweet cucumbers were a highlight, and the bowl was well-balanced overall. The soup had good depth of flavor but was a bit oily from the rendered intestine fat--still hearty and satisfying.

we discovered this place last year & have been cravin all da yumminess this past year this time, we brought 1 of my roomies 2 try & he also immediately fell in love w their gua bao + braised pork rice this is by far my fav gua bao stop & since i plan on bein in town 4 awhile, ima b visitin couple times weekly :)

The lines here are long all day and are filled with both locals and tourists alike. We got their signature gua bao bun with pork belly, peanut powder, and pickled vegetables. The pork was tender, not too fatty, super flavorful, and the ratios were great on everything. We also got the pork belly rice with pickled vegetables and bean curd + pickled cucumbers, which was a pretty big portion. There's nothing like Taiwanese pork based comfort food. It's worth the wait!

Wow! What a long line already at 9:30AM! They just barely opened for the day. We came here for their famous Guabao. There are guests from different countries also in line. I am shocked this is not 5 stars. Probably a star deducted because this place is small.

This was my first time here after hearing rave reviews from my roommate and her sister. I got to say, they were on point again. Their gua bar is the most amazing 1 that I ever tried and I did not ever think I was ever a gua bao fan. Ever since I tried on this trip, we went on a hunt for other gua baos in Taipei area and nothing comes close. I also like their braised pork kong rou fan. I will come back very soon during this same trip.

Omg! This place is very busy so be prepared to wait 45 mins or more just to put in your order. The place has the tastiest gua bao and the braised pork over rice is also tasty. Need to try getting here once they open so you can get seated more easily.

It's a decent place to try, but if the line is too long, come back at a different time

Really fluffy buns, pork blood soup wasn't bad. But so many tourists even during weekdays. Not very organized in seating customers. Need to be diligent in letting the shop know to find you a seat.
