Jin Yuan Pork Chop (Wannian Building)
金園排骨 萬年店 · show this name to taxi drivers
A pork chop rice shop serving Ximending since 1973, in the Wannian Building basement. The fried pork chop comes with braised pork rice, and there is fried chicken leg and curry chicken too. It costs a little more than its neighbors and seats are tight at mealtimes, but one plate is a full meal for one.
