一甲子餐飲

Relatively famous street food place, mainly because it got recommended by the Michelin Guide and gets featured in numerous reels on social media. These places are often not holding up to the hype, but luckily not here. The braised pork bowl (Kong rou fan) is one of the best dishes I've had in Taiwan. A bit more expensive than in other places, but with a perfectly balanced, bold flavor. The pork is tender, the pickled cucumbers add some acidity, there's salted radish for the salt level and fresh chili for a little kick. I added a tea egg for even more flavor. Their Guabao is okay, solid taste, but there are better places for that in Taipei, that's why it's overall 4 stars. There's always a queue, but if you go between the usual lunch and dinner hours you're not waiting for long. Definitely recommended, especially for the braised pork rice!

This famous local food stall serves delicious tasty and melt in your mouth braised pork. The braised pork bun is also a must try. The stall is quite busy and queues are long, you do have the online order option as well. The food is worth the wait as you dine in the alleys the local style. A Michelin Bib Gourmand shop that wont break the wallet.

You definitely need a lot of patience when dining here—we lined up to order a food for almost an hour. T’was worth it tho, coz it will be served straight up to you nice and warm, and the pork bun was a pleasant surprise, literally melting in my mouth. Cant complain a lot coz it was very cheap too!! Would I come back? Absolutely—but next time, I’ll make sure I’m not too hungry 😄

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.

Arrived around 1PM on a Saturday, long line already. Got lucky, they handed us a card saying we were the last order. Started eating around 2PM. Flavors were good and satisfying, on a sweet side but not too much. Just a personal preference, most of what we ordered was a bit too fatty/oily for our liking, but soooooo tender

I was searching for gua bao in Taipei and ended up at Yi Jia Zi with about a 1-hour wait even before peak hours (later learned it’s been on the Michelin Guide for years). I ordered the braised pork rice bowl with egg and tofu, along with a gua bao. The pork was on the fattier side but didn’t feel greasy, and the rice soaked up the sauce well. The egg and tofu added a nice layer to the bowl. The gua bao had a soft slightly sweet bun with rich meat filling and balanced condiments. I’d recommend trying the kong rou bowl instead of the regular. Overall, 9/10.

Visited on a Saturday late morning. The wait in line was about 1 hour, but the gua bao and lu ro fan were worth the wait! The pork is braised well with good depth of flavor aside from just some soy sauce. Streetside seating is limited, and my party and I were lucky to have a table right as we got our food.

The best pork stew place in Taipei. Tried many places and this was our favorites. The porks were very well seasoned - not too sweet, not too much spices or too fatty. The side vegetable also helped to balanced the richness very well. Line can be very long had to wait around 30-45 mins and then find a table after.

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.
