Reviews
Location: Da'an District, Taipei City
Recommended by Michelin for several consecutive years,
A famous clay pot chicken soup restaurant in Taipei City
That absolutely has no seats available without a reservation.
When our reservation was confirmed, the expectations were very high.
I noticed some online reviews mentioned that the service was quite common,
But perhaps on that day it was a weekday, or there has been an improvement,
I found it to be average; the service wasn’t particularly bad.
All the necessary introductions and services were provided.
🌟 Clay Pot Chicken Soup
The chicken soup is very rich.
We added soup and cabbage,
So they mentioned to leave half of the soup remaining.
The chicken was also fully tender,
You can easily shred it with just a little force.
For someone lazy like me, that's fantastic!
🌟 Scallion Pancakes (Thin and Thick)
I personally found the thin scallion pancakes to be delicious.
The fragrance of the dough is very strong.
Even when eaten alone or paired with the meat we ordered,
It was all very tasty.
I even felt it wasn’t enough.
As for the thick scallion pancakes, they had a lot of scallions,
Feeling somewhat like the scallion pancakes from Yilan.
I found the thick version to be rather ordinary.
Overall, none of the dishes were disappointing.
The soup is indeed very delicious.
It's definitely worth a visit for those who love chicken soup.
However, reservations can only be made via phone,
And it's easier to book during weekdays.
I have long heard about the "Jiyuan," endorsed by Michelin and celebrities, and finally had the chance to enjoy a delicious meal there.
The chicken soup I was most looking forward to indeed had the taste I had been yearning for, paired with bamboo fungus soaked in the soup—each sip of the broth was rich in flavor.
The must-order claypot bamboo fungus chicken gets five stars from me.
For the other dishes, I asked the friendly staff on-site for recommendations, and everything was delicious.
Dishes like tofu-crusted cod, stir-fried shrimp, Kung Pao squid duo, and dry-fried green beans were all special chef's dishes. Enjoying the skills of the chef was truly worthwhile and satisfying!
An important foreign executive from the company came to visit, and he was worried about which restaurant to eat at. Fortunately, someone canceled the reservation at short notice, so he had the opportunity to try out the super popular Ji Yuan! !
But I'm just a small clerk, so I don't have the final say on what dishes to order. The amount is an estimate, because I don't know how many Taiwanese beers I drank, so I can only write down the dishes I drank until I still remember them. Thoughts.
Overall, it is a very delicious Chinese restaurant!
However, the environment is a bit old, and it is on the first underground floor, so it is inevitable that it will feel a bit unventilated.
I might want to make an appointment with a friend in private later. Although it’s really not cheap, the food is really delicious! !
This can be said to be my favorite chicken soup restaurant. It’s difficult to make a reservation. Remember to call first for a reservation. Casserole chicken soup is available from 2,800 to more than 10,000. In fact, the base is the same, but the ingredients are different. The chicken soup is very rich and delicious. It is recommended that you ask the waiter to add green vegetables and tofu when you are halfway through the soup. It will become a full pot again and the taste will become sweeter. Some people like to add tofu and greens before and some like it after. It is recommended to drink the original flavor first and then try both.
The stir-fried dishes are also of a very high standard, especially the spicy ones. However, because a friend who came here today was sick and cannot eat spicy food, I didn’t order it. However, the bean curd cod was really fragrant and delicious. Then the shredded pork with green pepper is also very good.
It is recommended to consider dining with more than four people, because the chicken soup is really big. If you can’t finish the drink, you can take it away. You can also ask the store owner to dismantle the chicken first to make it easier to scoop out the soup.
