All reviews of category "Oden"

When you arrive at the restaurant, you need to register for a waiting list; there are quite a few people, and I waited about 20 to 30 minutes.

The atmosphere in the restaurant is quite nice, very lively. They also play music that fits the overall environment well.

You need to take off your shoes before entering and being seated. Ordering is done by scanning a QR code.

For the main dishes, I ordered the noodle soup and the shredded chicken noodle soup, both of which had great broth.

For side dishes, I got cheese beef balls and three-star scallion explosive meatballs. Both types of meatballs were very good, with a nice chewy texture and the fillings complemented each other well.

The soft-boiled egg was quite satisfactory.

The mushroom and cabbage rolls, paired with the sauce provided by the restaurant, also tasted pretty good.

This restaurant is located near Yuanshan MRT station, making transportation very convenient, and the overall environment is really good.

Besides oden, they actually sell cold noodles, beef noodles, snowflake pan-fried dumplings, and spicy duck blood tofu, making it a diverse street food stall. Personally, I think the other items are much tastier than the oden, so maybe the owner should consider changing the restaurant's focus, hahaha 😂

This place called "One Lantern" is located on a small road next to the Tianmu Circle, surrounded by a fierce competition of street food. I noticed this shop because I wanted to eat oden, but it turned out that oden is just an à la carte item accompanied by good ingredients, while the other menu options are much more varied.

There are basically no indoor seating options; all the seats are on the sidewalk. There’s a row facing the stall with a counter, and the remaining two tables are in the public area, making the environment feel quite cramped.

The owner's accent suggests they are from outside the province, and the noodles don't quite match the local Taiwanese flavor.

My personal favorite is their sesame cold noodles; the sesame sauce is sweet and fragrant, and when mixed with the noodles, it tastes absolutely delightful.

The snowflake pan-fried dumplings are visually stunning, with the whole pot of flour cooked to a snowflake shape with the dumplings, and then poured onto the plate. The filling of the pan-fried dumplings is juicy and not greasy, with a crisp vegetable texture. The snowflake part is a bit burnt, but that doesn’t detract from its overall quality.

The Thai-style sour and spicy cold noodles really suit my taste, being tangy and sweet without being overly spicy.

As for the oden 🍢, I actually have the least impression of it… I’m sorry, oden; the ingredients are ordinary, and the broth doesn’t stand out in memory. The braised tofu in it is the most flavorful and delicious, but it seems to have been braised with the spicy duck blood, so I personally believe it can't really compete with the oden.

Warm Hearted Oden is located on Yucheng Street near Houshanpi Station, about a five-minute walk from the MRT station. The sign at the corner is quite clear, and the store is small, giving a warm and friendly feeling.

Today, I took out some oden, totaling 200 TWD.

Oden:
The broth is refreshing and rich, making it a warm flavor perfect for winter. There are quite a variety of ingredients to choose from.

Homemade Hand-Rolled Cabbage Roll:
The cabbage roll is stewed until very soft, flavored mildly but with a solid texture, and the shop cut it into several pieces for easy eating.

Hokkaido Kombu Skewers:
The kombu has a smooth texture and blends well with the broth, containing about two or three pieces.

Scallion Grilled Octopus Balls:
Standard oden ingredient, two pieces.

High Mountain Baby Cabbage:
The cabbage leaves are cooked soft and sweet, absorbing the aroma of the broth, very delicious.

Handmade Shiitake Mushroom Balls:
Rich shiitake flavor, with a solid filling but a chewy outer skin.

Sweet and Spicy Fish Cake and Konjac:
Basic items, the konjac is quite large.

Overall, it's an oden shop with a stable broth and a variety of ingredients. I also ordered Prince Noodles and selected the homemade chili sauce, but there wasn’t much special to describe about that part, the chili is quite spicy.

At the price of 200 TWD, it's filling and quite tasty, but the price is somewhat high.

It’s more like a place to visit on a whim, and the dine-in bar is not very large. You can order using QR code and pay with cash or Line Pay, which is quite convenient, as oden offers a range of types and prices, making it cumbersome to ask the shop about each one.

I recommend it to everyone.

Local snacks that locals will eat.

The prices seem to have risen a bit; it's been too long since I last came here to eat.

My portion was $85, currently known as follows:

Oden3 $40
Fried tofu1 $20
Sausage*1 $25
Soup $unlimited refill

Others (based on others' reviews):
Freshly baked sweet potato cakes (2 pieces) $20
Large intestine wrapped small intestine*1 $75

The grandmother still greets guests warmly, there aren’t many seats available, and there’s a parking lot nearby; motorcycles can just park by the roadside.

When the weather gets cold, I really crave hot foods like oden. A friend recommended this place called "Ah Hua Black Wheel" located in Fengjia Night Market (it seems to have two locations).

At the entrance, there's a stall with an enormous pot of oden, filled with a wide variety of ingredients, including whole foods and hot pot items.

We didn’t check the prices and randomly picked enough food for three people, including cabbage rolls, mushrooms, tofu pouches, radish, chikuwa, fish ball tofu, and more. The total cost was around $300, which I personally think isn’t too expensive; it’s quite affordable.

For takeout, the vendor asks whether you want the soup packaged separately and whether you want the sauce to be spicy. The soup they give you is really generous, so if you want hot soup, you're in luck!

However, after bringing it home, we found that the oden and the soup had gotten a bit cold, and they were at room temperature, which took away some of the joy of eating oden.

The conclusion after eating:
I think the broth itself was quite good, but it's a pity that it was cold.
The ingredients tasted average, with nothing particularly surprising, but nothing was bad either.

Highly recommend the sauce!!!!!!!!! It’s really unique; I’ve never had this type of sauce in other oden places. It's a reddish-orange color, and at first, I thought it might be spicy, but it actually isn't. It has a strong peanut flavor (be careful if you have a peanut allergy), and dipping the oden in it elevates the taste to a whole new level!

Without the dipping sauce, I'd rate the oden about 2.5 stars, but with this sauce, I have to give it 3.5 stars!

🍱 Looking forward to your delicious exploration! 🍱

I stopped by a new store I saw while passing by, but I'm not sure if they still have those promotions now. For spending over a hundred, you get to spin a wheel and I landed on rice pudding.

• Below are the expenses for purchase and dining experience, without promotional details -

At first glance at the menu, I thought, "Whoa... that's a bit pricey." Are "oden" this expensive now? But after receiving the meal, I was like, "Wow, that’s a lot!"

I had already eaten a soup bun nearby, so I thought I’d just buy a simple set meal for two to take home (mainly I wanted some soup). I looked at the menu and didn't know what to choose, so I went for the cheapest set meal at 100 NT dollars.

When I opened it at home, I found that the whole bowl was packed full of ingredients. Although there’s no meat, one person can actually feel full. If you have a big appetite, you can choose a set with a main dish and definitely be satisfied.

In terms of taste, the texture and seasoning are quite average. The soup base isn’t anything special either. However, considering the value for money, it's not bad.

Memories of Middle School Wealth Car - Victory Swordfish Tempura, located on the side of Shengli Road of Datong High School in Pingtung City, this sweet tempura stall on a small blue truck is always especially popular in the afternoon. The truck serves a variety of oden, along with fried swordfish tempura and tempura slices, all at very affordable prices, making it a cherished memory for many people in Pingtung.

A piece of fried tempura slice costs five dollars, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it's delicious with a bit of pepper salt. The daikon in the oden is very flavorful, and the vegetable rolls, rice blood cake, and meatballs are the signature items that must be ordered every time you visit.

There is also miso soup available for self-service, with some tofu and small dried fish in the broth, enhanced with onions and spring onions for flavor. It's a simple but tasty budget-friendly delicacy. 😋

Although there are not many oden shops in Taitung City, this particular one definitely handles the ingredients well!

From the moment you walk into the shop, you can see a variety of oden ingredients clearly displayed in a bright area. The dining space is very spacious, and there is a well-behaved red poodle. The presentation of the dishes when they arrive at the table is also impressive. Typically, food at oden shops in Taiwan is arranged quite randomly, but dining here gives you the illusion that you are really eating oden in Japan. 😂

The ingredients themselves taste quite fresh, and the flavors are very mild and healthy. So, for those who enjoy stronger flavors, you’ll need to add a lot of oden sauce. However, if you take your time to savor it and drink the broth, you can actually taste the sweetness of the soup.

The reason I didn't give it a perfect score is that while the broth has a touch of sweetness, I think it could be improved. Delicious food should make you want to eat more and more. I hope there is still room for further improvement.
