A Shanghai-style dumpling house on Guling Street serving steamed xiaolongbao, shumai and fried rice. Dumplings only come by the whole basket, so one basket is a good solo meal; adding a fried rice is usually too much for one person.

What to order solo: One basket of regular xiaolongbao (8 for NT$180 reported in 2026) with a soup or a vegetable dish. A solo diner who added fried rice found it far too much.
Best time to go alone: Weekday mid-afternoon, around 14:00-16:30. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays.
