Shin Yuan (West) – Taichung

The food was delicious. But the worst serving I don't know how they got 6 years of Michelin. The server does not even understand the menu. The drink came out that I didn't order, and I ordered 2 bottles of beer, but I got 4 bottles. Well... 4 bottles of beer isn't the problem for us, so we did drink it all (even 4 bottles opened and brought it to us), but the drinks only came out after we finished our first order and had to order extra for the beer. It's not even fine-dining, but the food is so slightly cut off. The bowl we finished eating doesn't clear up until the end of the meal, even if there's no place to put it by placing an additional order. Extremely insufficient servers and unskilled responses. Drinks and food are left, but personal plates and spoons are removed. What's surprising is that all these server mistakes come from one meal in one restaurant. Watching the beer ready at the bar getting warmer, waiting for the smelly finished bowls and food that hasn't come out yet is the worst experience ever.

Finally had the chance to visit this restaurant in the West District. I was served by a lovely waitress named 晴晴, who was friendly and attentive throughout my meal. The ingredients of the day were exceptionally fresh and perfectly suited to my Cantonese taste. I was very impressed by her thoughtful food recommendations and overall service. The dishes were delicious, and I even ended up ordering an extra dessert because everything was so enjoyable. Overall, I’m very happy with the dining experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality food and great service.

We stumbled across this delightful restaurant for lunch on Google Maps. We ordered the duck with pineapple, stirfried seafood, stirfried mushrooms and tofu along with the black garlic chicken soup. The food and service were fantastic and shoutout to 熊熊 for being so attentive. She even took the initiative to add a candle to our dessert for my fiancee's birthday month. ☺️

High-quality Taiwanese food with a slightly modern take. The service was super friendly and took their time to explain the menu thoroughly. As a single-diner, it can be difficult to find good Chinese food options because you often need to dine in larger groups. However, here they have a great option to make any Main dish into a set meal (teishoku-style) that comes with seasonal side dishes, soup and a beverage. They also have some smaller dishes that add-on well to the set meal in terms of quantity and price in case you’re hungry or want to try a few more things. For me the real star was the service though, some of the best I’ve received in Taiwan.

Fantastic: fried egg tofu. Tasted like a plate of phenomenal agedashi tofu. Good: Taiwanese sausage (I personally felt it was fantastic), Black garlic chicken soup, stir fry duck with pineapple Average: Stew egg, shrimp and seaweed. It was really quite bland. Overall, an enjoyable meal.

The food was very good and 建璋 / BoBo helped us a lot with the menu and recommendations! He took great care of us and was very kind. Thank you for the experience! You need to try the fries.

Coffee shop venue but serves authentic Taiwanese cuisine, food is great, good service, must try!

A casual lunch short stay in Taichung surprisingly visited this mansion with history since 1929. Building used to belong to a wealth gent with 3 wives all under one roof, but different sections…. Now converted to authentic Tai Wan cuisine, love it! All dishes in small portion dishes abled us to sample many dishes all new to me except the succulent roast chicken, braised pork knuckles, both delicious, no wonder this place Michelin recommended! After lunch we stepped to next room the coffee lounge used to be the third wife’s quarter, tranquil & relaxing…. This place really worth visit if you visit Tai chung🥂🥂
