一甲子餐飲

This place is famous for its braised pork rice (lu rou fan) and even has a Michelin star, but honestly, I found it quite underwhelming. The flavor was just average — the pork was tender, yes, but the slices were way too thin. For this dish, the meat should be thick and juicy to really bring out the richness. You’ll also have to wait around 30 minutes, not because the place is packed, but because the service is painfully slow. The staff take their time arranging each piece of meat in the bowl as if they were playing a puzzle game. Overall, it’s not worth the wait. There are plenty of other spots in Taiwan that serve much better braised pork without the unnecessary fuss.

Wait time: if you get here before they open at 9, you can take a number for the queue, go somewhere and come back at 8:55 to get in line. We got here at 8:45 and our number was 6. By 9:05, it was already our turn to order. We got our food immediately after ordering. Food: we ordered gua bao, braised pork over rice, and the fish ball soup. Gua bao was best one of all 3, but it wasn’t the best I’ve had. I would have liked a little more pickled mustard green with the bao. The braised pork over rice was too greasy, there was little to no meat, mostly fat. The cucumber salad was crunchy and refreshing. Fish ball soup has a clean taste but was nothing out of this world. Overall, if the line is too long and you don’t feel like waiting in line, just go somewhere else. I’ve had gua bao at other street vendors in Taipei and they are just as good. Same goes for lu rou fan

Worth the wait!! Had to queue for about 30 mins but it was worth it. Had the braised pork rice and the bao and it was incredible - the pork was cooked to perfection. The sesame cucumbers on the side of the rice were so good, and the greens inside the bao really elevated it! A few tables outside on the street that clear quickly, may have to share with others though! Definitely a must visit in Taipei

Yi Ya Zhi Bao (一鴨之寶) is a popular spot in Taiwan known for its classic Taiwanese comfort food. Their highlights include braised pork rice (滷肉飯) — rich, savory, and full of flavor — and guo bao (割包), a steamed bun filled with tender braised pork, crushed peanuts, and fresh coriander. The combination of soft bun, sweet-savory pork, and nutty crunch makes it absolutely delicious. It’s a local favorite, but be prepared for a long line, especially during meal hours — a sign that the food is truly worth the wait!

Anything else that I demand for??? The food was incredibly my comfort thing and above the tasteness!! I just came here in the last day being in Taipei, waited for about 30 mins and got a the bunch on hand. The rain was a paid actor to make the food even better (hot soup/rice in a rainy day). Will definitely come back again for sure, posted this review after a month enjoyed it fully.

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.

After trying multiple gua bao in Taiwan, I can confidentiality say this is the best one. The pork is caramelised and with a confit like texture, with a balanced flavour, al placed between a pillowlike bun. I would recommend to get the penut powder on the side as well as extra pickled cabbage. Also, ordering online for pick up is great if you want to save some time.

Very long queue (~30-45 mins) but the food was decently good. I got the luroufan and the guabao. The rice and meat paired really well. The guabao was fluffy and savoury.

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 :)

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 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.

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.

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.
