Zhongzheng District, Taipei City｜Shun Yuan Restaurant

Great northern Chinese food, even my favourite 'birds nest' pancake. There is an upstairs area with more tables. Very fast service.

The hot pot was so great, besides that other dishes were delicious also, and it's CHEAP!!! It's very clean environment, it's poor service but at least all staffs with very kind smile and attitude. I believe I definitely will come back, it's really nice!!

非常感謝！ 這家餐廳很好。 我跟兩個朋友一起去這家餐廳吃飯。 我是一個澳洲人。我的中文不好。 我說「請在給我新的菜」。 Actually, I meant to say “can we please order another one of this dish” because we liked it but I think the waitress thought we weren’t happy with the food because my Chinese was not quite correct and she thought we didn’t like the dish because I accidentally said “please can we have a new one”. While everything was fine, I think I caused a little bit of offence. Since my Chinese is quite bad, I would be very grateful if, in the future, the waitresses can be patient and perhaps speak a little slower if the customer is not a native Chinese speaker. It would help foreigners like me to avoid this type of embarrassing situation. Again, it’s my fault because I should speak Chinese here, but it would be excellent if the staff could speak very slowly to foreigners 😁 Thank you again for the lovely food and I’m very sorry for any offence caused.
