Came here with friends to try their young squid rice noodle. The squid is fresh, sweet and crunchy. The soup base is really another highlight which is clear but sweet as well. Just that it's quite hot and quite difficult to eat in hot summer.

Couldn't find the place with TripAdvisor address. Read the other reviews made in Chinese language. Realized the correct address, restaurant is in inside Tainan Hotel.

Bump into this famed shop selling shrimp roll. Easy to find as it is on the main street. You can well taste the crunchiness of the shrimp. It is simply good for a quick bite.

I love dumplings of all forms and shapes, and its really hard (if not to say impossible) to get good dumplings in Switzerland. So coming to Taiwan, one of the things I was most looking for was eating dumplings (and especially Xialongbao, which are my favorites). In Taipei we went to Din Tai Fung, but waiting time was at least 80 minutes, so we passed. On our first night in Tainan, our hotel recommended the soup dumpling restaurant and we had a great meal and will definitely be back ! The Xiaolongbao are great, and we also enjoyed the Wontons in chili oil and the shrimp dumplings (the shrimp tempura was fine but not outstanding, and we didnt like the taste of the vegetarian dumplings). Service is very fast and efficient. This is a very busy place, so not the place to go for a romantic date ;-). But for a very tasty and local experience.

My Tainan friends told me not to miss Fu Sheng Hao fish meat ball soup and rice cake. So after breakfast, they dragged me there, and then OMG, I confirm I had my best fish meat ball soup. The portions are small, and you I have no excuse not to go. The place is nice and everyone super friendly. GO.

The price is a little bit expensive but the beef hot pot is definitely the best in Tainan city. They offer four different kinds of beef and each of them provides very different flavor. The owner of the restaurant would stand by your desk and watch if you cook the beef properly. Sometimes it's annoying. There is a free parking lot nearby the restaurant. We will come here again. The beef hot pot here is very good. You may have to wait for 30-60 mins during dinner time.

They have a large variety of food. The food is decent quality and is fresh. It is hard to find parking so take a taxi over there.

Came here one morning for breakfast. I believe their hours are 6:30-10am. There's a map at each seat at your table which tells you where the food is. Not all the "Taiwanese small dishes" are available all the time. Food was pretty good. Combination of eastern and western dishes. Tables were cleared extremely quickly. To be honest, I was hoping for more of a selection of Taiwanese dishes. Price is a bit steep for a breakfast buffet. I paid over $22 USD. Not sure if it would have been cheaper or not if I had included it with the price of my room.
