Kamekona Hawaii 鉄板焼

JapaneseTeppanyaki

This place is amazing. It's like a roller coaster adventure meal. The best Teppanyki I've had hands down. So many dishes and presented so exquisitely. All the dishes - appetizer, soup, salad, main course, second main course, third main course, dessert, another dessert, everything so good. The Wagyu beef steak was the best Wagyu I've ever had and they cook half at a time because "it's best served warm" so they only want you to have the absolute best experience eating it. The only negative thing I can say is there was just too much food. I actually managed to eat everything and I was full for the entire next day. Service is impeccable. Kamekona only has 2 tables and seats at most 10 people at each table so you know they have to be good. This is a place you can't just walk in and need to make reservations as it's booked full most evenings. I'll go back again for sure. A great "special occasion" restaurant.

為福樓(信義店)

ChineseBeijing

A great Beijing style restaurant that serves large portions of food. The Peking duck is tasty with enormous portions of meat. Great CP and the staff are really friendly. It's been around for decades and still has a 1990's feel to it which is part of the charm of the restaurant. My kids loved their 鳳梨蝦球 and of course Peking Duck.

This is a small restaurant that has been in this night market alley for over 40+ years and the menu consists of 4-5 items. There's always a long line and I tried it for the first time. The dishes are no more then NTD100 a piece. Dishes are tasty and great for a quick bite.

Tasty high end steak house. Steaks are amazing. Presentation and ambiance top notch. If you are looking to impress, this is the place to go. Also the cake is gigantic and the most decadent tasting chocolate cake served with hand whipped cream.

Salad

Look beyond their name and realize this is a really good healthy salad / healthy light food eatery in Taipei. This is the best healthy salad place in Taipei. You can customize your salad in so many ways down to each and every ingredient. You can add meat, fish, tofu etc... The black sesame drawing is the best.

MAMASANG Taipei

Asian Fusion

Ambiance is hipster restaurant meets lounge and the food is a creative twist on Taiwanese good. For example, the spring rolls have oysters in them. The food is really different. Place really attracts a younger hipster crowd as the place turns into a lounge after 9pm and is full of pretty people.

煮海 La Mer

Japanese

Some of the best Japanese food I've ever had. Super fresh because it's located in the fish market (Aquatic Addiction). It is also super expensive but you won't find better King Crab or other seafood.

Le Blanc Taipei

American

Best value steak and lobster place in town. Fries are unlimited and decadent. Mac and cheese is also great. Very limited menu but that's what's great about Le Blanc. Also probably one of the best burgers in Taipei.

番割田甕缸雞

Taiwanese

Wow! This is a super famous roasted chicken place in Yilan. This is one of their larger restaurants. If you get their set meals you can make a reservation but otherwise need to wait as the line is long. Roasted chicken is amazing and they roast in these clay ovens. You need to rip the chicken by hand into smaller pieces and eat it. They save the chicken oil that you can dip the chicken meat into. Eat it with the fried onions. It's super delicious but super fatty but oh so good. I gained 2 kg that dinner.

油花炭火燒肉專門店

JapaneseYakiniku

Quality of the beef is excellent and you usually need to make a reservation. They specialize in Wagyu beef. The servers will also help you cook the meat so you don't have too. We got the Wagyu platter for 2 but should have gotten a bigger protein as the meat is really, really good but portions aren't large on the sample platter.

夜酌居酒屋（忠孝店）

JapaneseIzakaya

Great hidden Izakaya hidden away just outside City center. Local recommendation where there isn't a time limit. Izakaya is really good and they don't charge a corkage fee so long as you buy NTD$500 worth of drinks first.

This restaurant is in Linkou and it's been around for a while. If you want some authentic, no-frills Taiwanese food and you are in Linkou, this is the place to go. The goose is what it's known for and delicious but pretty much everything is so delicious. If you don't know, just ask for recommendations. Thumbs up!

Pretty decent hamburger. I usually get the double and it's filling and pretty good value $190 ($240+ for set). Resemblance to a high end Wendy's Burger. Good for a burger fix.
