The potstickers and dumplings at this restaurant are very delicious. The potsticker skin is thin and has a great chewy texture, while the filling is rich in fat. The dumpling skin is soft and moist, and the filling has a sweet vegetable flavor. The hot and sour soup is slightly sweet, smooth, and tasty.
The environment inside the restaurant is simple and somewhat messy, but the lively atmosphere conveys the charm of late-night snacks. It often requires waiting for a seat, which shows its popularity.
The service staff is efficient; although the store is busy, they can quickly arrange seating for customers, making them feel comfortable.
📍 Taipei Shihpai Metro Station
It's a bit of a distance from the metro station, about a 12-minute walk. This is a shop that specializes in potstickers and dumplings, and you can see the staff making dumplings and potstickers on site, which is very fresh. The shop also sells frozen dumplings, and you can call ahead to place an order.
Meals🥘
Potstickers / 7 TWD each:
The potstickers are served freshly pan-fried, with a crispy outer skin and very juicy filling. The ratio of skin to filling is just right, so it doesn't feel like there's too much skin and not enough filling. If you like crispy potstickers, you should definitely give these a try.
Dumplings / 7 TWD each:
Personally, I prefer their dumplings over potstickers. The skin is softer and retains a nice wheat flavor even without dipping sauce. The filling has a sweet vegetable flavor, and the seasoning is just right, so there's no need to add any extra condiments.
Hot and Sour Soup / 35 TWD:
The hot and sour soup is on the sweeter side but has a moderate thickness with a hint of cornstarch, and it's not overly rich, making it very smooth to drink. You can add a lot of black pepper for a stronger flavor.
In summary, since the shop operates later, it would be a great late-night snack option if you live nearby! 🤣
The pot sticker and dumpling shop located in the Shipai residential area is only open in the evening and stays open until midnight. It is a good choice for late night snacks. There is an endless stream of seats inside the shop, and it is often full. You have to wait for a seat.
Although the environment is relatively simple and cluttered, and the items sold are also very simple, only pot stickers, dumplings, hot and sour soup, and corn soup, they are all very delicious!
The good thing about this restaurant is that there is no minimum quantity limit for pot stickers for a single order. The minimum number of dumplings is 8, so you will see other customers ordering 8 dumplings plus 2 pot stickers, etc. It is suitable for those who want to eat dumplings but also want to eat them. When making pot stickers
This time I ordered 10 pot stickers and a bowl of hot and sour soup.
🥟Pot stickers:
It has a chive flavor, but it doesn’t have a strong chive flavor. It’s mainly meat filling. The minced meat filling has a lot of fat, so it’s fat. The meat juice is very obvious when you bite it. In addition, it feels like it has a little bit of pepper added to it. taste
What I like the most is the skin of the pot stickers, which are relatively thin and very strong. The frying time is just right. Although it is quite oily, I feel that this way I can retain the perfect crispy skin and eat it till the last one. The skin still maintains the right texture, which is very suitable for people who like chewy and multi-layered texture.
🥣Hot and sour soup:
A very popular hot and sour soup, the seasoning is very good, the thickening is not too thick, the ingredients are cut into relatively large pieces, not as delicate as Din Tai Fung
