The meals are diverse and plentiful, ranging from fresh scallops to hand-rolled sushi. The cooked food section, featuring dishes like cumin-grilled pork belly, goose soup noodles, and garlic clam soup, also performs excellently. The desserts are particularly creative, such as the maple bacon milk sundae, and the overall quality exceeds expectations. The pizza needs to be baked on-site, and the sea urchin and scallop, along with the smoked salmon cream puff, are also worth trying.
The restaurant atmosphere is like a nightclub, combining sound and light effects. The space is spacious, with drapes and music adding a sense of drama, making it suitable for birthday celebrations or gatherings. Being newly opened, there are many people, and you need to queue. Once inside, there is a simple introduction.
The staff is enthusiastic, and the bartender provides professional cocktail services, but the assembly of the waffles is relatively slow, and there are occasional oversights.

There’s a bartender mixing drinks on-site, and there’s a menu in front to order directly. There are also a few non-alcoholic options. There’s an area where you can self-serve beer, and surprisingly the cups are chilled! At the entrance, you can find red wine, white wine, plum wine, and sake, and of course, there’s dedicated staff to serve you! You can directly ask for what you want, and they will also proactively inquire about your preferred flavor, whether you want something sweeter or more sour.
🧸 The new opening had a lot of people, and by 11:15, many were already in line. After entering, there’s a short distance to walk, and the staff provides a brief introduction to your seat, which explains why it takes some time to wait for a table outside.
🧸 The event on the table sign allows you to tag the official account on Instagram to receive a coaster. There is no limit on the number of accounts per table, so if one person has two accounts and shows them, they can get two coasters! The quality of the coasters is pretty good, and they are double-sided, but they are made of plastic and do not absorb water.
🎭 URBAN PARADISE Xinyi Store
📅 2025/07/26 (Saturday) Lunch
🏠 5th Floor, No. 11, Songgao Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City
🥂 The grand opening attracted a huge crowd; I arrived at 11:15 and already saw a long line, almost a centipede 🐛. I didn't get seated until just before noon. The atmosphere was truly an explosion of sound, light, and taste, very much like dining at a buffet in a nightclub 🪩🎧.
🍸 The slightly tipsy vibe is real, with bartenders mixing drinks on-site and a vending machine selling beverages. My favorite was the "Urban Paradise," which features pineapple coconut milk—beachy vibes but with a very light boozy taste. The scallops were definitely worth trying, and the hand rolls and sashimi were quite fresh, with many highlights in the hot food area.
🍖 Dishes like cumin-roasted pork belly, corn chowder version of chawanmushi, "Happy Town" goose noodle soup, garlic clam soup, and salt-grilled Matsusaka pork with spicy pineapple sauce surpassed expectations overall 👏🏻.
🍰 The dessert area is quite creative with options like cinnamon sugar-glazed donuts, torched lemon tarts, and a collaboration ice cream from "Nuan Wei Jia." 🍦 The maple bacon milkshake is a perfect balance of maple-flavored bacon and vanilla ice cream—sweetness just right.
📸 The overall atmosphere is characterized by elaborate decor and play of light and shadow. The space is spacious with enough distance between tables, and the curtains create a dramatic feeling. The music also matches the rhythm, making it perfect for birthdays or gatherings ✨.
💰 Holiday lunch is NT$1690 + 10%. There are a total of nine major dining areas (Ocean Bar, Breeze, Merriment, Viva, Happy Town, Fragrance, Crisp, Wonderland, Oasis), where you can enjoy the atmosphere as well as the creativity ✨.
