Hualien City, Hualien County｜Sam's Diner

Fu ge and his wife are amazing hosts. Forgot that we were patrons but rather we were old friends just having a good buzz. Great surf/beach vibe here with Three Little Birds, Buffalo Soldier and the likes of it playing on their speaker. They opened one of their favourite millet rice wine and shared with us, after knowing we love chilli, they even gave some of their different homemade chilli for us to try. If you’re looking for a nice little dive/surf bar with good service and friendly owners to treat you like their friends. Come here. Real nice Asahi draft served and food is amazing too. If you’re in Hualien, please please drop by this gem of a place you’ll never regret it. Btw we only found out of this place when we were walking on the main road and peeking into the alley and seeing a small circular Asahi sign hanging out of their humble homely place.

We stumbled upon this pub while looking for a place to drink and eat. What a great find it was. Very delicious local "hot-fry" and BBQ dishes. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. Excellent service throughout the night. Very spacious interior and exterior with an east coast surfer vibe. Good place to have a laid-back time with a group of friends.

It is not only a perfect place for chat and beer but also a restaurant for amazingly and surprisingly Great food.
