新高軒北車店

"Shin Takoh" is located inside Taipei Station, making it a convenient spot that specializes in Japanese curry and a variety of Japanese set meals. The curry here leans towards a sweeter taste with a strong Japanese flavor; adding some spiciness can further highlight the layers of the curry. Although it resembles the taste of Japanese curry cooked with blocks at home, Shin Takoh's curry is evidently richer and more robust. I tried their beef short ribs, which were tender and juicy, more to my liking compared to ordinary beef. As for the karaage (fried chicken), it is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this restaurant—crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside, each bite brings out the tender chicken and aroma.

However, the dining environment here slightly affected the overall experience. The tabletop of the two-person table was unstable, shaking to the point where I began to wonder if I was seated on a train. In the end, I had to use some napkins to stabilize it. Although it's a minor detail, an unstable table can really diminish the dining experience.

In summary, the curry and set meals at Shin Takoh are indeed of good quality, especially the karaage, which is worth trying. If you're a traveler coming to Taipei Station and looking for Japanese set meals, and you don’t mind minor environmental flaws (maybe it’s just my bad luck 😆), it’s worth giving it a try.
