Overall Review: 🌕🌕🌖🌑🌑
Dickson's Fooday Review #199 has been updated!
This time I will be evaluating a sushi stall located inside the Ren'ai Market in Keelung!
This sushi stall is one of many within the Ren'ai Market!
Currently, there are many stalls within the market selling either Taiwanese or Japanese sushi.
They offer a variety of Japanese dishes or sushi rolls.
This time, I've come to one of the stalls inside the Ren'ai Market!

As far as I know, there are about seven or eight stalls serving Japanese sushi dishes in the Ren'ai Market alone.
It is said that the stall I visited today ranks among the best few.

Since the stall is inside the market, there aren't many seats available.
However, the design of the kitchen area has a very Japanese feel.
Additionally, the menu features a considerable number of standard Japanese dishes,
mostly focused on sushi.
Of course, since this is Keelung, there are also plenty of choices for sashimi.
Common dishes like rice bowls and hand rolls are also listed on the menu,
so whatever customers feel like eating on the day, they should be able to order it here!

So how is the flavor of Japanese cuisine inside the market?
Let's summarize…
Personally, I think if you care more about the ambiance and flavor,
you might as well go to a more authentic or larger Japanese restaurant that meets expectations.

The Japanese cuisine in the market,
after all, is located within a market,
so the environment can't be that high quality!
The culinary aspect also can't be as authentic,
but in terms of price, it does have a higher cost-performance ratio!

It all comes down to how each consumer chooses!

⭐️ Food Section
On that day, I went with a friend.
👉 Fisherman's Deluxe 11 Pieces $490
As a local guide, of course, I had to order the most luxurious option!
Because even at this price, the 11 pieces are actually quite reasonable!

Let's see what the content of these 11 pieces is like!
From what I remember, the sushi here included both sashimi sushi and seared sushi, etc.
Although the quantity is large and the price is low,
overall, I feel that the flavors do not stand out in any remarkable way.

Also, the sushi is very basic, just vinegared rice topped with sashimi.
The rice part doesn't have any special preparation.

As for the seared sushi,
similarly, there isn't anything particularly impressive or memorable about it.
It's passable but doesn't exceed standard levels.

However, I think at this level, it is quite worthy of its price!
So there isn't much to pick on! 🤣🤣🤣

👉 Assorted Sashimi $290
Now that I'm at the market in Keelung,
and eating Japanese cuisine,
how can I not order sashimi to try?

I can only say that the sashimi here is quite fresh
and the prices are also very reasonable!
So if you come to Keelung's market,
I would highly recommend trying the sashimi here,
after all, the source is close by! 🤣🤣

👉 Miso Soup $30
Just a miso soup, period (?)

Overall, regarding food,
I wouldn’t say there is any particular problem with it,
but it’s just very basic and average.

However, if you compare it to other food stalls in the market,
I would say this one is probably among the top few here.
After all, the flavors are similar to general Japanese cuisine!

⭐️ Drink Section
As I did not order any special drinks or alcoholic beverages that day,
I won’t comment much on this.

⭐️ Atmosphere Section
Since this is primarily a stall located next to a market,
the number of seats is really limited.

There are just a few tables with chairs beside the stall,
so if you are planning to eat in, you will likely need to wait in line during meal times.
Of course, I recommend takeout, as it’s more convenient.

Also, since the stall is located within the market,
the atmosphere can be considered just okay.
However, experiencing Japanese cuisine in a market environment
is a different kind of charm!

⭐️ Service Section
Basically, there is no special service here.
Given the large crowd that day,
coordinating the seating alone kept them busy and flustered!

⭐️ Price Section
Because it’s located within a market,
overall, I think the cost-performance ratio of the menu is quite high.
However, since the prices are quite low, I believe we shouldn't demand exceptionally delicious quality!

If you want to try some basic
and popular Taiwanese-Japanese flavors,
I think this is a good option for inexpensive Japanese cuisine!

⭐️ Location Section
Since it’s located in Keelung and within the market,
it can be a bit inconvenient if you're heading there specifically.
I personally recommend it for those who are passing by Keelung or going to the North Coast for fun.

If you're passing through before noon,
you can try stopping by to explore the market
to see if there's anything particularly interesting.
When the time comes, it would also be a good option to queue up here,
and having a few pieces of sushi is nice!

This stop can definitely be included in your fun itinerary for the North Coast and Keelung.

⭐️ Overall Summary
Essentially, it’s just a Japanese restaurant inside a market.
As a Japanese restaurant located in a market,
I think it has done relatively well.
At the very least, the flavor of the sushi is considered passable and has a Japanese taste.
As for the atmosphere, I believe we can't demand much!

In summary, it’s a sushi shop inside a market with a high cost-performance ratio.
If any of you friends happen to pass by Ren'ai Market
and need something to eat inside,

then I would definitely recommend this Japanese sushi shop!

When you take a girl out to the North Coast or Keelung for fun,
if you visit the market,
wanting to take her out for a bite…

At this point, you can observe her usual spending habits.
She might not have much experience entering a market!
She may have never eaten at a sushi shop in a market.

This is when you can give her a special surprise!
Who would have thought there are sushi shops in the market!
This moment breaks through her preconceived notions!

You bring her into a whole new world!
You can also take the chance to observe her attitude when eating at these little market stalls. 🤣🤣🤣

Based on this, don’t you feel you have a better understanding of the girl you’re dating now?
