Review from a person with braces: I don’t know if there’s a restroom since I always take it to go.

Xiangzhen Potstickers is a well-known local old shop in Zhonghe, and it tends to have a lot of people each time I visit, so I recommend calling ahead to reserve. They also sell raw potstickers and dumplings, which are convenient to take home and cook yourself. The price for a potsticker is 8 NT dollars each, which is 1 dollar more expensive than typical chain brands, but they are larger and more filling; dumplings are priced at 6.5 dollars each, which is 0.5 dollars cheaper. Parking may be a bit inconvenient if you drive.

This time I ordered potstickers, dumplings, hot and sour soup, and soy milk. The potstickers had a crispy and fragrant outer skin, and the filling of cabbage was crunchy and solid. They were quite large, delicious enough to eat on their own, though I felt they were a bit oily; still, I couldn't resist. The dumplings were average and did not differ much from chain brands. The hot and sour soup was rich in ingredients and flavor, with a strong peppery aroma that was quite satisfying to drink. The soy milk was sweetened and tasted ordinary, with no special surprises. Overall, I would visit this shop again for their potstickers.
