TABE Yakiniku
TABE Yakiniku 吃燒肉 · show this name to taxi drivers
A small yakiniku bar in the Linsen North Road lanes where every counter seat has its own gas grill and meat is sold by the slice, so one person can order exactly as much as they want. It is cash only and a full meal now runs well over NT$2,000, so book ahead and bring enough cash.

How to order, step by step
- Book ahead - dinner bookings are recommended and walk-ins may not get a seat
- Take your counter seat with its own small grill
- Order meat by the single slice or a sampler set, plus rice or noodles
- Grill it yourself - staff explain the timing
- Pay in cash at the end
What to order solo: Start with a sampler set or a few single slices of beef tongue and wagyu, then add the beef-fat rice with soft egg. Check the day's cuts with staff.
Best time to go alone: Book the 18:00 start on a weekday.
