The defining feature of the restaurant is the giant photo of Jensen Huang, apparently the most important person to ever eat there, featured at both the entrance and inside. Popular dishes here include braised pork, taro soup, and more. It is definitely worth a trip if you are in Taipei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Travel Tips Block -->\n<div style=\"\n    border: 2px solid #4CAF50; \/* Colored frame *\/\n    border-radius: 8px;\n    padding: 15px 20px;\n    margin: 20px 0;\n    background-color: #f9f9f9;\n    font-family: 'Lato', Arial, sans-serif;\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    box-shadow: 0px 2px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n\">\n    <p style=\"\n        margin-top: 0;\n        font-size: 20px;\n        color: #333333;\n        font-weight: 700;\n        display: flex;\n        align-items: center;\n    \">\n        \ud83c\udfef Planning your trip to Taipei? \ud83c\udfee\n    <\/p>\n    <p style=\"\n        margin: 0 0 10px;\n        font-size: 16px;\n        color: #555555;\n    \">\n        Here are some top travel tips for you:\n    <\/p>\n    <ul style=\"\n        padding-left: 20px;\n        margin: 0;\n        font-size: 17px;\n        color: #444444;\n    \">\n        <li>Best time to visit: <strong>March-May, and October &#8211; November<\/strong> when the temperatures are nice and there is not as much rain<\/li>\n        <li>How to get there: \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/Hy7ANSMa\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Taiwan High Speed Railway\n            <\/a> and \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/ViL2Q2Tu\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n           Inter-City Bus <\/a> \n        <\/li>\n        <li>Best places to stay: \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/agoda.tp.st\/AJv5F2FT\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Yuanshan Grand Hotel\n            <\/a> \n            or \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/agoda.tp.st\/BWHuNzB4\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Fu Chang Hotel\n            <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n        <li>Book tours and activities in Taipei on \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/h8FNlYA4\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Klook\n        <\/li>\n <\/li>\n        <li>Stay connected with \n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/ecTcuRd6\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                a local SIM\n            <\/a>\n        <\/li>\n<li>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/klook.tp.st\/HF1hxh28\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #007bff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600;\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                Rent a car\n            <\/a> \n            to explore distant sights\n        <\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n    <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id2497_87a963-6d .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id2497_87a963-6d .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id2497_87a963-6d .kb-table-of-contents-title{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id2497_87a963-6d .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}<\/style>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hours:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>11\u202fAM\u20132\u202fPM; 5\u20139\u202fPM Every Day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Price:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>About 250 NT to 1000 NT per dish.

The space is small, occupying just the first floor of a house-sized building, and can fill up quickly, so it&#8217;s best to book in advance even on weekdays. The restaurant offers large round tables that can seat up to ten people, as well as smaller square tables for four. It&#8217;s a great setting for enjoying extended conversations in a cozy atmosphere.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wordpress_z\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-6-jfif.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-6-jfif.webp 1536w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-6-jfif-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-6-jfif-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-6-jfif-1152x1536.webp 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>View of part of the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wordpress_z\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/maysnowhakka-3-jfif.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/maysnowhakka-3-jfif.webp 1536w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/maysnowhakka-3-jfif-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/maysnowhakka-3-jfif-768x1024.webp 768w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/maysnowhakka-3-jfif-1152x1536.webp 1152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hakka-style Braised Pork with Pickled Vegetables, commonly known as Guabao (\u5208\u5305), includes six steamed buns folded in half, served on a single plate with braised pork, cilantro, and onions.

The meat melted in your mouth, complemented perfectly by the onion and cilantro garnish that added a bit of zest. It was delicious and went down smoothly, much like a good hamburger. In fact, Guabao is often referred to as the Taiwanese hamburger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rice Flour with Flag Fish and Taro (\u65d7\u9b5a\u828b\u982d\u7c73\u7c89)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wordpress_z\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-9-jfif.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-9-jfif.webp 2048w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-9-jfif-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-9-jfif-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-9-jfif-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/hakkakitchen-9-jfif-1536x1152.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another dish we sampled was the Rice Flour with Flag Fish and Taro (\u65d7\u9b5a\u828b\u982d\u7c73\u7c89 NT$480). It featured fried sailfish, fried pork, fried onions, octopus balls, shrimp, and rice noodles. The soup was rich in flavor yet not overwhelming, with a predominant taro taste, chewy fried sailfish, and crunchy celery. The fish balls were soft and succulent, with a hint of spice. Large, tender pieces of taro added the perfect background flavor. Overall, the soup was hearty and full of diverse textures and flavors, blending savory, crunchy, chewy, and soft elements without any single flavor dominating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurant also offers unlimited hot barley tea. As a higher-end traditional Hakka Chinese establishment, there is an additional 10% service fee. Note that the English menu may not fully capture the dishes served, so it\u2019s wise to ask for photos or bring a Chinese-speaking friend. Some dishes may require an acquired taste for Western palates, but many will appeal to foreigners at first bite. If you are new to Hakka cuisine, you might want to start with dishes that seem more familiar.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading2497_2a8b4a-2d\">Thanks for reading!<br>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreignersintaiwan.com\/blog\/taiwan-food-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">our Taiwan food guide here<\/a>. <br>Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/travel-guide-to-taipei\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our full guide to Taipei here.<\/a><br>You can also check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.rersczyr.a2hosted.com\/the-ultimate-travel-guide-to-taiwan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">full travel guide to Taiwan here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hakka Kitchen (\u5eda\u623f\u5ba2\u5bb6\u7f8e\u98df) is a traditional Hakka Chinese restaurant inside a more commercial district of Zhongshan district, on an alley with many other food options near Nanjing Fuxing MRT Station on the Green Line.
