It’s not a “restaurant” (it’s in a modest food court on Zhongzheng Road next to the waterfront)—but I’d be hard pressed to think of a better okonomiyaki place than this Japanese-operated stand. The seafood version rocks. At the time of writing, it has 143 google reviews and a 5.0 average!!!

Qburger :joy: so sad I guess there’s no good unique cheap taiwanese breakfast spots

There were! Many of my favourites closed down! Prepandemic!

I think you can tell I am still salty.

I’ll keep editing my post later on. There are a few I like but the name escapes me and are too new for Google Street View. So check again in the coming hours/days.

@DogmaticStoic Are we also including drinks/bubble tea?

Sure! Although I haven’t noticed much differences between drink shops if I’m being honest :joy: but that’s just me and my unrefined pallet for tea. I’m sure my girlfriend cares about it a lot

My favourite drink shop is NT19. Danshui only.

I’ve tried like 5 times to find this shop :sob: is it next to the Turkish ice cream man?

It’s right beside 北墾丁啤酒屋 11 ELEVEN COFFEE

Oh I know it, it’s just never open (when I’ve tried to go). That’s why I couldn’t find it

They sometimes close at 7.

This is an issue with a lot of Taiwanese restaurants and a lot of businesses. A very chillaxed approach to business. That means it can be frustrating to go to a place and find it closed for some reason.
