Okashin Shokudo
岡心食堂 · show this name to taxi drivers
A Japanese-style seafood bowl and set-meal shop in a lane between Zhongxiao Fuxing and Zhongxiao Dunhua, best known for sashimi rice bowls. There is a per-person minimum spend, so it works best for a solo diner who wants a proper sashimi bowl. Don't confuse it with Sushi Okashin, a pricier sushi counter with a similar name.

How to order, step by step
- Book ahead for dinner, or arrive right at opening
- Order from the menu at your table
- Each diner must spend at least NT$330 on weekdays and NT$500 on weekends, so one cheap bowl may not be enough
- Last orders are 14:00 at lunch and 21:00 at dinner
What to order solo: On a weekday, the Okashin sashimi bowl (about NT$460 in October 2026) covers the minimum by itself. The cheaper weekday-lunch mixed sashimi bowl (about NT$290) needs a side dish or drink to reach NT$330.
Best time to go alone: Weekday lunch, when the minimum spend is lower. Evenings fill up, so book ahead.
