Shin Yeh Shiao Ju (nangang) - Taipei

A brilliant place to enjoy proper Taiwanese cuisine. Shin Yeh is famous for various kinds of gourmet but their OG dishes are all Taiwanese. This is the slightly modernized version Taiwanese restaurant which offered almost the same caliber as their HQ in Zhongshan of Taipei. If you want to treat some important people a meal, this is the place to go to.

It’s raining cats and dogs today. The stuff of the restaurant is not nice to us.(especially my grandpa is almost 100 years old. My grandpa is almost falling down in the rainy day tonight. I just asked if there’s any umbrella for us to use it with my family to go to the CTBC Financial Park. The male stuff is impatient to answer: There’s only our clients’ umbrellas here. Bad location of the restaurant is inconvenient for customers. Don’t you think to consider the safety of customers in the rainy day? It’s ridiculous. Do not be good for small things. I don’t think we’ll go back to the restaurant forever.

What's wrong with this restaurant? The food is good and environment is neat. But the service is so terrible that the unhappy waiters make me and my wife feel unwelcomed. No introduction, no waiting until I asked, no smiles, and for a couple times they basically threw our dishes on the table. It is unbelievable that such a high end restaurant treats customers like this. It is our first and definitely will be last visit.

Great place for business lunch. Private rooms available. We ate family style in a room that held 13 people. Good service and delicious food.

I flew back to Taiwan to have a proper Taiwanese meal with my family before Lunar New Year ended. I would highly recommend making an early reservation as it’s always full house due to the office buildings and exhibition centres being located within 5-10 mins walking distance. As I didn’t make any reservation and walked in during lunchtime, we waited nearly 30 mins to be seated. Three of us ordered a two-pax lunch set meal and an extra vegan soup and dessert. It’s way too much for us, and we need to take it away. All the dishes were relatively excellent and appealing, but the pork was served too slowly, and we almost forgot about it. Identical to the dessert, I have to go over to the waitress to inform them that we have finished the meal and please serve the dessert. The green tea is nicely brewed, but the best is still the vegan soup. The handicapped toilet is on maintenance, and most of the tools are stored in the lady’s room; a waiter came into the lady’s room without knocking, and I was deeply disturbed. All the all, if you are just talking about the food and people who stand at the counters, they are high quality, trained and well cooked. But the rest of the staff seems not experienced. It’s a good try.
