Great stinky tofu! - Edit

Tasty toppings. Perfectly crispy. Can be quite busy!

Pros: Cheap, Tasty

Cons: Queues

Veteran vegan restaurant - Edit

This fried stinky tofu and vegan vermicelli soup shop has been around for so long that the staff have since lost their souls and forgotten how to smile. The limited, two-item (three if you count the pickled veggies that you’d only order if you need more than the mound that already comes with a tofu order) is what they specialize in. The stinky tofu is not actually that stinky, but they do fry it well and serve it with plenty of pickled veggies. There will usually be a line that grows lengthy on weekends as visitors swarm. It moves relatively quickly, but you might have to wait for a seat if you want to dine in.

Pros: reputation, consistency, price

Cons: service, generated trash, crowded

Here's the address - Edit

I feel like it's me vs happy cow in Taiwan in terms of actually finding restaurants 😂. Go here: No. 461, Fuxing Road, Xitun District, Taichung City, Taiwan 407

Delicious! - Edit

Taiwan is known for its stinky tofu, among other things, and Yi Xin specializes in extra-crispy, vegetarian stinky tofu and mian xian, or a sort of noodle soup. In fact, that is pretty much all they offer.

The place is always packed and I've been twice and only on weeknights. There is usually a line, you order, and you get a number... then they bring your food to you. The stuff is simple and though the tofu isn't the stinkiest, it's still pretty good. You also get the choice of getting it spicy (they put a spicy sauce on top). The noodles are hot and delicious, though on the peppery side.

Another delicious note: Yi Xin is located on a corner and next to it is a little stand for taro-related treats that are delicious - both hot and cold. It also boasts its own lines, especially on the weekends, or so I've heard from the locals. You can order from one place and eat it at the other place if you would like, so you don't have to move. They will hand the food to you over the low barrier. :) The downside is that the menu is completely in Chinese and with no menus. I have no clue if they speak English.

Pros: delicious food, inexpensive

Cons: small space
