If you’re looking for Japanese food there’s one area in all of Taipei I’d 100% recommend you to go, Zhongshan.
In the area surrounding Zhongshan station, you’ll find many Japanese restaurants, ranging from Ramen only restaurants to full sushi and sashimi service.
Linsen North Road, not far from Zhongshan station, on lane 119 and others around it you’ll also find many Japanese restaurants. Why are there so many Japanese restaurants around here?
Well, Zhongshan, and more specifically Linsen north road, is full of Japanese businessmen that, after working hours, go out to drink and dine. You’ll even find Japanese High Dining at the Okura Prestidge Hotel.
But why did I choose Mijian as the best Japanese Restaurant in Taipei? Well, it’s because of the different concept they offer.
All you have to do is make a reservation, get there, sit down and enjoy the food.
As it’s mentioned in the video there’s no menu available, so if you have allergies to something or have some condition such as celiac disease I’d recommend you check with them before going there.
You can use Facebook to get in touch with them.
I was there in, October 2019 and at the time they only accepted cash, the price per person is 1,200 NTD.
If you want to take your own bottle of wine you can, all you have to do is pay 100 NTD to get a glass.
They don’t have a big selection of alcoholic drinks, you can pretty much get Sake or juice, a glass of Sake will cost you 200 NTD.
So, what’s the address of the best Japanese Restaurant in Taipei?
Address: 中山北路一段140巷3號1樓Taipei, Taiwan 104
All in English would be, Zhongshan North Road, Section 1, lane 140, number 3, floor 1.
