How to order, step by step

  1. Inside Taipei Main Station, take the escalators from the 1st-floor hall up to the 2nd floor. Older signs and maps may still say Breeze
  2. Walk around the counters. Most sell one-person sets with rice or noodles and sides, with prices posted
  3. At busy times, find a seat first
  4. Order and pay at a counter. Some counters give you a buzzer that goes off when your food is ready
  5. Collect your tray at the counter and return it when you finish
What to order solo: A set meal with rice or noodles and a couple of sides from whichever Taiwanese counter looks good. Counters change, so walk the whole floor before choosing.
Best time to go alone: Weekdays 10:00-11:30 or 14:00-17:00. Weekend and holiday mealtimes are crowded with train passengers.
