Best breakfast joint in Tainan

Not sure if you’re still looking for breakfast in Tainan, but I’ve started keeping a list of my go-to spots.

  • ChangRong Beef Broth (長榮牛肉湯) Very nice beef broth breakfast shop. Often sold out by 9ish a.m. $
    長榮牛肉湯

  • YeJia Squid Noodles (葉家小卷米粉) Squid + rice noodle soup; $
    葉家小卷米粉

  • LuJi Crystal Dumplings (祿記水晶餃) Tainan’s Crystal Dumplings; $
    祿記水晶餃

  • Qing Qi Vegetarian Dim Sum (清祺素食點心部); Salty doujiang snack 鹹豆漿 $
    清祺素食點心部

  • Bibi Pancakes; Tiny hole in the wall “iron skillet” pancake place with decent coffee, best to have a reservation or check for seats. Not many seats available. $$ - Also, I’m including this because I love it, but it’s not actually a breakfast place. They don’t open until noon. No idea why. I’d be there much more regularly if I could get a skillet pancake for breakfast.
