The Lantern Braised Delicacies Original Store is located in a lane on Shida Road in the Da'an District of Taipei City. The nearest MRT station is the Taipei Power Building Station, Exit 3, which is about a 6-minute walk away. There is another store nearby at the corner of Shida Road also called the Lantern Braised Delicacies Original Store, but it is run by a different team. The interior has over 30 seats, and the decor is simple and somewhat outdated.

For ordering, customers can pick their desired ingredients from the counter (don’t bang the tongs; it might scare the food (?)), and after selecting, they can settle the bill at the counter, where cash and various payment methods are accepted. Receipts are available 📄✅. After paying, customers wait inside for their number to be called at the food pickup area.

There are plenty of ingredient options, with slightly higher prices for meat and vegetables. If you only order offals, starches, meatballs, and tofu products, you can eat for a lower price (a method for cash-strapped students 🫥). During the waiting time, we also played with the table’s coin-operated game for $10, which hasn’t increased in price for over a decade 🤣.

In the seating area, there are free drinks available (winter melon tea, unsweetened green tea) which are quite mild but very refreshing for a hot summer day.

The braised sauce is moderately seasoned with a hint of sweetness, and the freshness of the ingredients is acceptable. If you find yourself wandering around nearby and unsure of what to eat, why not try some braised delicacies?

Location:

The store is close to the Shida Night Market. After seeing Yizhixuan on Shida Road, walk into the alley next to Yizhixuan for about 80 meters to reach the store.
By the way, I would like to remind you that it has a branch called Lantern Braised Original Main Store (one word different from the store name of this restaurant 😂). It is located at Watsons on Shida Road. The two stores are 100 meters apart. If you want to buy online meal coupons, Friends, make no mistake!

Dining experience:

I think the dining space in the store is large and clean, with wooden dining tables that can be shared together! Free drinks (winter melon tea and sugar-free green tea) are provided. The air-conditioning is very cold. In the summer, you can eat hot braised food without fear of sweating. It’s great👍

Meal sharing:

Obviously the portion was not very large when ordering, but the actual portion when picking up the meal was probably too big! The braised sauce is very flavorful, and it is topped with sauerkraut and chopped green onions. It is not soft at all.
This time I ordered tofu skin, oji noodles, bamboo noodles, daikon, cabbage, udon noodles, corn shoots (small), pork hamstrings, and loofah. The quality of the ingredients is good and fresh, especially the udon noodles and oji noodles. The marinade is really fragrant and the marinade tastes salty.
In addition, the pork hamstrings are chewy and chewy, and when paired with the marinade, their unique taste and flavor are fully unleashed! Recommended for everyone to choose!

You can smell the rich aroma of marinade outside the store. When we went to dine today, there was an endless stream of people! This braised food restaurant not only has a rich selection of ingredients, but the store’s unique marinade is also the key! I highly recommend everyone to taste it for yourself!
