How to order, step by step

  1. Order and pay cash at the machine outside the door
  2. Wait for staff to call your number and seat you - there are no bookings
  3. Choose rice amount and egg doneness if asked
  4. Each person needs their own curry - sharing one plate is not allowed
  5. Ask staff for free extra rice or sauce (the sauce can run out late in the day)
What to order solo: Karaage chicken curry or pork cutlet curry, about NT$200. Portions are big, so skip extra sides at first. The vegetable curry has no meat on top, but it is not confirmed meat-free.
Best time to go alone: Weekdays around 14:00-16:00. Weekend dinner waits have been about an hour.
