The meals are diverse and made with quality ingredients, generous portions, and simple yet satisfying flavors. The soups are light, the fried items are crispy, and the tofu has a great texture, although the sauce is somewhat bland. Although some prices are a bit high, overall, it is worth a return visit.
The interior decoration of the store is simple and unadorned, featuring a vintage style. The space is spacious, making it suitable for large group dining. The store's sign is not very eye-catching.
The paper menu needs to be filled out; the service efficiency is acceptable, and the speed of serving dishes is quite good.
🚩 Beitou Squid - Traditional Simple Good Taste
Beitou Squid was first sold in Beitou Market by the first-generation owner in 1979, gradually becoming a popular local store. In 1996, the second generation took over and began to expand into a chain, currently with locations in Tianmu, Zhishan, and Guangfu in Taipei City.
The Guangfu store is located in a small alley on Guangfu South Road in the Daan District of Taipei City, with the nearest MRT station being the 2nd exit of the National Father Memorial Hall, about a 3-minute walk away. The shop's sign is not very eye-catching, and its decor is simple and straightforward, with a touch of retro style. There are plenty of dining seats, and the space is spacious enough to accommodate group gatherings without any issue.
Upon entering, you fill out a paper menu and hand it to the staff. There are self-service side dishes available, and you settle the bill after dining, cash only, with traditional paper invoices provided.
Today we ordered quite a bit, and my impressions of the dishes are in the photo below ⬇️
Almost all the dishes we had today were good, although some had slightly higher prices, the ingredients were substantial in quantity. The flavors are simple but not drastically off, the business is good, and the serving speed is acceptable. It’s a place worth revisiting.
