Here are the items ordered and their prices 🔻
🔺Classic Grilled Pork Don $130
The grilled beef sauce is a bit sweet but still tasty. Besides a soft-boiled egg, there are no other toppings, which feels somewhat empty.
🔺Seared Scallop and Smoked Salmon Don $280
One scallop and five slices of smoked salmon. The scallop has a nice seared aroma and is cooked just right, while I personally enjoy the semi-raw smoked salmon with its burst of fat. The accompaniments of broccoli and sweet potato are both cold, especially the sweet potato which wasn't fully thawed and tasted strange. There's also half a soft-boiled egg and some corn, giving it a very Taiwanese feel.
🔺Tempura Shrimp Don $180
Three fried shrimp with a crispy batter and firm shrimp meat.
🔺Grilled Chicken Leg Don $180
Approximately six large pieces of grilled chicken leg, cooked perfectly without being dry, very tasty.
🔺Salt-Grilled Mackerel $140
This is highly not recommended ❎ It’s better to buy it raw and air fry it... overall it’s quite dry, and there’s no lemon provided.
🔺Karaage Fried Chicken $130
A serving with four large pieces, fried just right, still retaining juiciness and tender meat, it goes well with yellow mustard and shichimi pepper.
🔺Croquette $50
A serving cut in half, with a single flavor option which is curry, just average.

The indoor seating accommodates about 26 people, and the restroom has a strong odor 😨
Halfway through the meal, I noticed a small cockroach crawling on the edge of the plate.
There were also continuously fruit flies 🪰 making their presence known.
The miso soup at the self-service area had no ingredients and the broth was super sweet (?).

【Foodholic Naiko@Taipei】

The Japanese rice bowl specialty store we visited today is located near Shuanglian Station. It is only a 3-minute walk from Exit 2. There are not many tables in the store, only 6 tables for four. When we arrive at the store around 7pm on weekdays, we are already close to customers. Full

Here they sell a variety of rice bowls such as roasted pork rice bowls, parent-child rice bowls, Tangyang chicken rice bowls, chicken leg steak rice bowls, fried shrimp rice bowls, eel rice bowls, steak rice bowls, etc. If you don’t want to eat, you can also choose from soup udon noodles.

Little reminder🔔
Their "Classic Yakiniku Don" uses beef! We originally ordered a roast pork donburi, but my friend actually doesn’t eat beef. Fortunately, the waiter carefully informed us when ordering.

There is a notice on the wall of the store reminding you that every meal is cooked to order and takes 10-20 minutes. I was already mentally prepared to wait for a long time, but the meal was served in about 5 minutes.

There is free miso soup for you to drink inside. Miso soup is pure soup with almost no ingredients. You can only eat very finely chopped tofu. It tastes ordinary and salty.

We ordered Crispy Fried Miso Peppa Pig Donburi $170 and Cumin Matsusaka Peppa Pig Donburi $180
Although the names are both Peppa pigs, one is actually fried pork cutlet and the other is pan-fried Matsusaka pork. Both staple foods are quite delicious.
The miso sauce of the fried pork cutlet is quite strong and goes well with rice. The pork cutlet is fried very crispy but not greasy. But compared to the two, I prefer the cumin Matsusaka pork because it is more special. The quality of the Matsusaka pork is very good and the meat is cooked The powder is very fragrant and the portions are generous. Highly recommended!

BUT! This is BUT!
The side dishes for donburi are terrible... Today's side dishes are sesame broccoli, kimchi, bamboo shoots, and half a soft-boiled egg. Except for the soft-boiled egg, which is OK, the other side dishes are not very good.
The cauliflower tastes like it was frozen or cooked for too long. It is not crispy at all, very watery and soft, and has a very poor taste. The chikuwa only comes in a small piece and is cold. The kimchi also tastes ordinary. Not the kind of kimchi that makes people want to eat it all the time

Overall, I think the staple food is pretty good and the performance is average. If the side dishes are okay, I think the price is very affordable. But because I am not satisfied with the side dishes, I think the CP value is average.

I’d give the Matsusaka pork four stars, the tonkatsu three stars, and the side dishes only two stars. Overall, I’d give it a decent three stars.

The store door is a bit stuck, so you have to pull it manually. The store environment is clean and bright, and there are not many seats. You can take the tableware from the drawer by yourself. There is miso soup next to it, so you can take it by yourself. You have to pay first when ordering. There is a low fee per person. NT$150

About the meal
Tempura Fried Shrimp🍤NT$180. I like it with mayonnaise. There are also Japanese sauces to choose from. The fried shrimps are crispy on the outside. Be careful when you eat them. They are very hot inside. There are kimchi as a side dish. , cauliflower, etc.
Pickled salmon 🍣NT$50, I only taste the salty taste of pickling, no fishy smell, the fish meat is soft Q
The miso soup is all you can drink🤣. The miso taste is so strong that you won’t notice the ingredients in the soup until you fish it out.
