AI Spot Summary
The Wu Geng Cháng Wàng and Hakka stir-fry have excellent flavors, with a balanced taste. The fresh oysters are fresh, and although the free-range chicken is cold, it is tender. The nine-layer egg is standard, and the taro rice noodle soup comes highly recommended by the staff. The presentation of the dishes is good, making it suitable for ordering individually.
The garden environment is spacious, with free-range chickens and koi fish, but there are many small black mosquitoes, so mosquito prevention is necessary. The decorations and facilities in the garden are creative, but maintenance needs to be improved.

🪑About the overall atmosphere🎡
The parking lot entrance is small, but once you drive in, you find a hidden gem with a covered parking area made of metal sheeting. The garden is quite large, with free-range chickens and koi fish that can be fed, and there’s a little bridge with a semi-transparent staircase to cross it (though it seems a bit broken with some spiderweb-like cracks that are a bit scary). The only thing to watch out for is that there are a lot of mosquitoes; they seem to be small black mosquitoes, and I got bitten several times without noticing. The restaurant has private dining rooms, or you can eat in the garden.
💰About the price range💰
They have multi-person set dishes here, but we wanted to order what we liked, so we chose to order ala carte. I forgot some of the prices.

🍴About the food☕
I highly recommend the Five-Spice Intestines and Hakka Stir-Fry; these are very common dishes in Taiwanese restaurants, but they are probably the best I’ve ever eaten. The flavor is moderate and not too salty. Usually, the Hakka Stir-Fry I’ve had is really salty with tough tofu; this place is not like that. The native chicken is served cold but is fairly tender, and the fresh oysters seem fresh; they are simply blanched and served with soy sauce. The Nine-Layer Egg is just basil egg, not too salty and quite good. The staff highly recommend the Taro Rice Noodle Soup, but I don’t like taro, so I passed on that.
🤨Conclusion♥
With a spacious garden dining environment and delicious food, I initially wanted to give it five stars, but even after applying mosquito repellent, I still got bitten excessively, so I deducted one star for the cleanliness of the environment.
