Local, inexpensive, authentically great taste!

Mama Lai was the first meal of my whirlwind Taiwan trip. Very sweet family running the small eatery. No English knowledge, but a local helped me order the day’s special. Very cheap in USD and tasty! I would return on a longer stay in Taipei

Basic yummy vegan food

At £2.50 you can't complain. Probably one of the most "authentic" food experiences you can have in Taipei while knowing you're getting a fully vegan meal.

Pros: Friendly staff, Cheap food

Lovely food

Lovely eatery with cheap dishes. The owners were really friendly. The man helped me to translate the Chinese menu and I had the Angelica soup and noodles with tofu. The food is not very oily and salty which is great because it makes it perfect for a very healthy lunch. Personally, I would have enjoyed a tad more spices.

Pros: Friendly owners, In a quiet backstreet

Cons: Would have loved a little bit more spice.

For everyday meal

Reminds all local small places with extremely nice laoban. Price is the best advantage. Goot for everyday lunches or dinners

Light meal

Unlike in similar places to this, the food is mostly steamed or sauteed, barely seasoned. Lots of vegetables. Very toddler friendly.

Assolutamente consigliato!

È un angolino bellissimo, cibo molto buono. Ho ordinato la zuppa di brasato. Il proprietario mi ha chiesto il livello di piccantezza desiderato. Non credevo parlassero inglese in un luogo così piccolo e nascosto. Ci tornerò sicuramente

Pros: Posto molto tipico, Cibo buonissimo, Economico

Quick, inexpensive, loving local experience

This long established traditional local family shop is not fancy. Super friendly owners. Owner mama is aging and enjoys serving food to people. She says it gets her going.

Pros: They offer Free extra food for starving students, The neighboring community loves them, Great example of family working together

Cons: Be careful they may give you too much food, Not suitable for a big party
