Love at first bite

The lady selling is so cute, the food is so good and the price is unmatched in the area.
Been back a few times to try all the flavors.

Fantastic buns and dumplings

The pumpkin buns were my favorite. Each item is $15. It was a great way to use up my Taiwanese dollars before getting on the plane.

I got the cabbage dumplings. It tasted very good at such a cheap price .

Being a vegetarian it is hard for me to find good places that taste good and are also affordable. I found this dumplings place exactly like that.

Pros: Taste , Cheap, Vegetarian

Perfect before getting on the train

I already tried another outlet of this chain that sells super delicious pan-fried buns. Since I liked the pumpkin ones the best last time I tried them again. Also got a mustard one. So delicious! Got given a complimentary potsticker (sort of dumpling). The place is really cheap only 15TWD for one pan-fried bun. Potstickers run 60TWD for a serving of 5

Pros: Friendly staff, Fresh

Amazing. One of each (6 total) for $2.5usd

So tasty; all the flavors are delicious and unique in their own way. Perfect way to shake off the jet lag. Incredible value and right near the main station.

Fav in Taipei

One of my absolute favourite places in all of Taipei, if not all of Taiwan. The buns are so so so yummy, and the owners must have recognised me cuz I kept coming back every day

All delicious and super cheap

We gorged ourselves on the buns and dumplings for breakfast on the way to the station. Love the pumpkin dumplings the best. Planning to go back soon!

Cheap and flavoursome

Can never resist grabbing a few buns when I'm in the area, great for eating on the go! Already tasty but can pour some soy sauce into the bag for added flavour. Dumplings are also good.

Hot and satisfying

I tried six different types of stuffing - all good. Can’t say I loved one type more than the others. They stayed nice and hot for quite a while. Six cost only NTD 81. Cheap, easy, filling meal on the run.

Pros: fresh and hot, all vegan

Fantastic dumplings

We found this place pretty easily thanks to the photo someone posted on here with the light green signage.

The dumplings were clearly labelled, though there was one which seemed to say 'cherry pea' or something like that, which we were too scared to order. We went across the board with the rest though: pumpkin, cabbage and bamboo shoots, at 15 dollars each.

Each of the dumplings was filled with a glass noodle and vegetable mixture to accompany the stated ingredient. I think the cabbage was actually my favourite, which I wouldn't have predicted beforehand. They were all great though!

There was no seating outside but we crossed the main road towards the station and found a few benches under some tree cover which was a nice lunch spot.

We're trying to find a way to come back here when we return to Taipei before flying out of Taiwan. Hopefully that tells you how much we enjoyed them.

Pros: Lovely flavour, Good value

Nice, cheap pan-fried buns

This is a little shop selling pan-fried buns and dumplings with veggie fillings. It opens early. They have 3 or 4 kinds on offer each day. There is no English menu but the staff speaks a little English.

I've been here several times and most of the buns and dumplings are very good (if a little doughy and oily), though one one occasion I ended up with an absolutely foul one that tasted so bad I had to spit out. Not sure what the deal was there, but on the whole I'd still recommend giving this place a shot.
