The dishes related to fish balls are the specialty here. The fish ball soup has a light broth, and the fish balls have a chewy texture. The dry vermicelli and tofu pouches are flavored with a sweet and spicy seasoning, with a hint of spiciness. The set meal prices are affordable, offering great value for money.
The restaurant has a small environment but a school desk and chair atmosphere, with tight indoor seating and quite a crowd.
The staff are mostly foreign migrant workers, with high service efficiency but limited interaction, and their attitude is fairly standard.
The location is near the entrance of Jiufen Old Street. The environment is quite small, but there are a lot of people. The seating for dining in is very cramped, and as soon as you sit down, someone asks you what you want to eat. Personally, I like this kind of pressure.
They specialize in fish ball-related dishes, and the menu is very simple with only six items:

What I actually ordered was the Store Combo, and the price for the three-item combo is the same as ordering them individually. The broth of the fish ball soup is light, and the fish balls have a chewy texture. The dry vermicelli and tofu pockets are both seasoned with a bit of sweet and spicy sauce, which is slightly spicy, so be cautious if you’re afraid of spice.
The environment is small but has a decent atmosphere with school-style tables and chairs. There are quite a few people, and the seating inside is tight. It’s worth mentioning that most of the staff are foreign migrant workers; they are quick and efficient but not very interactive, and their attitude is standard. However, at this price point in a tourist area, it is considered affordable, especially compared to other shops in the old street, where the cost-performance ratio is quite good. If you just entered the old street and want to quickly grab some savory food to fill your stomach, this place is a good choice.
