"His hand roll was so impressive that it caught my eye; at least it's something I want to eat again after trying it! 🤣" by Older Sister
<About the Meal 🥣>
I ordered a pork chop rice bowl, a shrimp hand roll, and miso soup.
The miso soup tasted quite good, it went well with rice and wasn't too salty.
The pork chop rice bowl was quite large, and the pork chop was fried just right; the egg on top was the finishing touch, adding some layers to the texture. By the end, I didn't feel sick of it, making it quite a nice meal for me.
As for the shrimp hand roll mentioned at the beginning, the most memorable part was the powder sprinkled on top (I forgot the name of the powder at the moment and didn't think to ask 🫠). It tasted a bit sweet, and since the hand roll was served in a sweet cone, I found it quite interesting. After finishing the hand roll, I could still enjoy the cone wafer!
<About the Staff 👨🍳>
There wasn't much interaction between the staff and the customers; they mostly stayed busy at the counter. 😂
<About the Environment 🐾>
The environment was fairly clean, and the lighting was a bit dim; I personally think it could be a bit brighter for a more comfortable stay.
There wasn't much space for parking at the entrance, so it might be more convenient to go to a nearby parking lot.
📎 Tainan【Sunday Omurice】
🥗 Sunday Okinawa Taco Rice 300
Highly recommended! It looks like a salad on the surface, but inside there’s actually meat sauce, white rice, and corn chips, combined with cherry tomatoes, lettuce leaves, cabbage shreds, and olives. When mixed with raw egg yolk, it is super satisfying in one bite. The combination of sour, salty, and spicy flavors is completely not overwhelming, and before you know it, it's all gone...
🥠 Japanese Fried Tofu 120
The fried tofu is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, served hot! It’s delicious and refreshing when dipped in sesame sauce along with bonito flakes!
🍛 Chicken Karaage Curry Omurice 280
🦪 Clam Sake Steamed Udon 360
My companions found the dishes delicious, and the decor and atmosphere were quite nice, with a hint of traditional Japanese house flavor. However, I personally think the prices are a bit high, and the space in the restaurant is not large. The three of us could only squeeze at the bar and couldn’t switch to a table, making it more suitable for 1-2 people dining.

A small shop hidden in an alley, very inconspicuous (no large sign). Upon entering, I found the atmosphere quite comfortable, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding residential area. The items I ordered were a bit difficult to categorize; there was Taiwanese braised pork and mixed noodles, but also Japanese-style char siu and curry.
▪️ Fried Chicken Set Meal $240 · Choice of Miso Soup
The rice is Taiwanese rice, quite delicious, cooked just right, distinct grains and well-rounded. The fried chicken is very Japanese-style, juicy but not greasy. There was a good amount of shredded cabbage, and I really liked the sesame sauce it came with, very tasty. The side dishes that day were cold papaya and seaweed salad, both were quite delicious and appetizing, perfect for pairing with rice. The miso soup was simple and enjoyable.
▪️ Char Siu and Scallion Oil Dry Ramen Set $160
· Drink originally included Earl Grey Tea, swapped for Matcha Latte +$45
This was my friend's main dish. The noodle thickness was quite good, but for me, it was a bit soft and lacked chewiness. The seasoning was average, and I didn't get to taste the char siu, so I can't comment on that, but my friend who enjoys noodles thought it was delicious. The matcha latte had a milky taste but not enough matcha flavor, wouldn't recommend it.
After finishing the meal, I really wanted something sweet and even told my friend that they should sell a sweet pudding, and I would definitely order it 😂. Then I discovered while organizing the photos that they have sesame sweet soup with red beans!
Overall, I really liked the atmosphere of this place, but it’s not very convenient for transportation for those coming from afar. The prices are not overly cheap, with meals being on the higher end of average. Since I live nearby, I am quite willing to revisit, just putting this out for reference.

Since there are not many restaurants in Yeyin Tribe, it is rare to see a restaurant that focuses on environmental protection and micro-literate youth like Haishai Restaurant. There are sheep horns and canvases as decorations in the store. If you want to take them out, there will be an additional charge for tableware, hoping to achieve the effect of reducing waste.
In terms of food, because I personally like curry, I ordered his Matsumoto pig curry rice. There is nothing wrong with the taste of the curry, but it is not amazing either. The other main reason is that there are too few ingredients inside, which makes people feel unsatisfied after eating it. However, since most of Lanyu’s ingredients are imported, the meals will naturally not be cheap.
However, if you are looking for a place in Yeyin with delicious food and a comfortable dining environment, I would recommend Haisheng Restaurant.
Taipei Neihu - A new affordable donburi restaurant opened in August, also selling Taiwanese-style bento boxes, primarily focused on Japanese cuisine yet very Taiwanese.
📍 Salmon Fillet Donburi NT$120
🌕🌕🌕🌘🌑
The salmon fillet is fried, and the fish meat is quite large and thick, which is nice. The skin is very crispy, but unfortunately, it has a strong oil flavor. The donburi is a bit wet, with egg used to thicken it; sprinkled with a little seven-spice powder, the sauce is slightly sweet. The side dishes are corn kernels and amaranth, overall it doesn't taste very Japanese, and the flavors are quite average.
The seaweed egg drop soup tastes cool, suggesting it was prepared in advance and left to sit for a while.
The utensils are disposable chopsticks. The spoons are stainless steel but not clean, and the plates are sticky.
▶️ Environment
🔹 There are a total of 3-4 two-person tables, making seating limited.
🔹 The decor is more Taiwanese, with a somewhat messy environment.
🔹 No drinking water provided
🔹 Utensils are served with the meal and do not need to be picked up separately.
🔹 ❗️ The overall environment has a strong smell of oil smoke, and you'll come out smelling like it after your meal.
▶️ Helpful tips
🔹 To order, take the order slip, write your selections, and hand it to the staff; you need to pay upfront.
🔹 Cash only
▶️ Overall evaluation
🔹 The prices are very affordable, and the overall value for money is quite high; however, most main dishes are fried, making them less healthy. Compared to donburi, I recommend the Chinese-style meal (bento) instead, as the sides were more plentiful for other customers around me. Unfortunately, the dining environment and cleanliness are not ideal. Although they have just opened with promotions, and currently have high ratings on Google Maps, I don’t find it as good as expected, and I will not return.
Yufeng Japanese Snacks is located on Fujian Street in Hualien. It is a Taiwanese Japanese restaurant that only opens in the evening.
It has been opened in Hualien for more than 30 years, and the store style has a strong ancient Japanese style.
What I cannot fail to mention is that the menu is full of の! Full of it!
What I enjoyed today was mixed sashimi, hotpot udon, cold vegetables, mixed sushi, and miso soup, totaling about 700 yuan.
Comprehensive Sashimi:
Ordered a small portion of sashimi.
The fish meat is fresh, beautiful in color and sweet in the mouth.
But I really don’t understand the significance of the carved mushrooms, shredded bamboo shoots and kiwi fruit on the side in this sashimi...
It's also delicious...but a little unclear.
Hot pot udon noodles:
Average udon noodles, the noodles are springy and the soup is full of flavor.
Cold vegetables:
Hualien's classic mountain vegetable Guomao, Guomao's unique slightly bitter and gelatinous texture is really delicious.
Comprehensive sushi:
のSushi!の!
The seaweed sushi is average, and the tofu skin sushi has a slightly sweet tofu skin that goes well with the slightly sour vinegar rice.
Hanano Sushi is well-balanced and delicious, from the delicate shrimp roe on the outside to the fillings inside.
But pork floss is standard Taiwanese style.
Miso soup:
Averagely delicious miso soup.
Overall, I can understand that this will not be the most delicious Japanese food in Hualien, but I can appreciate the care that the store puts into every dish.
The fruits and side dishes of the sashimi are really subtle, and the menu is full of them, which is really Taiwanese.
But the Taiwanese-style delicious food and the not too high price will still make me want to visit again if I have the opportunity.
Recommended to everyone!
Google Maps has high ratings and mostly positive reviews, so I had high expectations, but was disappointed 😂 Maybe it’s really worth the CP?
This time I chose to order a la carte for the sashimi!
Today’s favorite: Seared halibut sushi. After searing, the oil becomes more flaky, which is very good in the mouth. The searing aroma brings out the freshness and sweetness of the halibut.
Real Crab Meat Gunkan $80 Liangguan: It is really cooked crab meat, but I don’t know why it still tastes a little fishy.
Shrimp hand rolls $80
Lobster salad and scallop hand rolls $80
Their hand rolls are made of square seaweed sandwiched directly as shown in the picture. The shrimp hand rolls are good, and the scallops in the lobster salad are also good. But I made a mistake in ordering the lobster salad, which is the kind of lobster salad sauce in the supermarket 😂
The miso soup and side dishes of the set meal were average. However, the tuna smell was particularly strong that day.
But if I have the chance, I still want to try their regular set meals such as fried pork cutlets, grilled mackerel, etc. The prices are really very cheap~
#掾湖 #元元食记
Definitely be very, very hungry
Only those who come to eat the real soup from the Nine Kingdoms
Because the portion is very, very large~
You will be absolutely full after eating
I have eaten the clay pot series before
Later, he specialized in the "Udon" series
There is a special note on the menu that the udon noodles use QQ noodles.
As the name suggests, the noodles taste really great👍🏻
Soup base part
Curry and cream cheese are my favorites
But most of the time I still love curry
Both have quite strong flavors.
The noodles are cooked so that they absorb the full amount of soup.
The soup base also includes bean sprouts, vegetables, fish fillets and an egg.
Just this bowl is enough
And the chicken steak is also amazing.
The meat is tender and very juicy
Crispy on the outside, medium-thick coating
I'll sprinkle it with black pepper and salt, but it's quite appetizing.
If you are not very hungry
I'll probably be full after eating the noodle soup.
So you have to be really hungry to eat
Otherwise, it will really be very stressful🤣🤣
As for the drinks that come with meals
That's probably the only drawback.
I know it's barley tea, but I never taste it.
It’s just color🥲
It's probably used to rinse the taste out of your mouth.

<About the meals🥣>
I ordered the regular curry set.
The curry sauce is quite generous, and it's a little bit spicy (I emphasize that it's only a little bit, so little that some people may not be able to taste it, but it's also possible that I ate it wrong (?))
The skin of Tangyang chicken nuggets is a bit hard, so people with mouth injuries or bad teeth may have a harder time eating it, so be careful, but the meat inside is pretty good.
Next, because I ordered a set meal, in addition to Tang Yang chicken, it also comes with miso soup. The soup itself is salty and has a strong taste. There are no other ingredients except kelp, but it is actually an appetizer if eaten with rice. greasy.
<About the clerk👨🍳>
The clerk is very friendly and proactive in cleaning the environment. As soon as the customer leaves, someone will start cleaning the table.
<About the environment🐾>
Located in Crescent Plaza, the environment is very clean. Crescent Plaza also provides parking spaces, and the seats in the store are quite spacious. In terms of the environment alone, I think it is pretty good.
One Thai-style pork rice ball is not enough, have you bought two? I bought another curry chicken rice ball.
The store makes it very quickly, and it has the same shape as the triangular rice balls sold in supermarkets. I wonder what the difference is? The portion is larger, and you can eat the rice balls hot. Eat it early to get the crispy seaweed, otherwise it will become soggy.
The sauce inside the battered pork filling is light in color and may be more like traditional pork belly. The proportion of white rice is too high, resulting in the overall ingredients tasting the same as supermarket rice balls.
The curry chicken is rich in curry flavor, and the chicken pieces are small and can only be called embellishments. Perhaps the low-priced rice balls can only be made with white rice.
