Zhongshan District, Taipei City｜Men Biyori

Have been here several times and it never disappoints! There is no reservation so you need to wait in queue. Advice would be to arrive before it opens since it is constantly busy although a weekday. Portion of the food is generous. I especially love the pasta with mentaiko. The napolitan one is also worth trying. Highly recommend and will definitely continue to visit 🍝😋

We discovered this restaurant with my husband while working at One&Co. the food was just amazing! The eggplant with mushroom pasta blew my mind. I wish I could give a better score. The food and the service were great. They had a menu in English where we could easily pick our dishes.

***true Japanese pasta experience*** Differences between Italian and pasta are it’s technique and ingredients. Japan is a predominant fishing nation, so fish (or tofu) often replaces chicken in Japanese pasta dishes. Some vegetable used in Italian cuisine may also be replaced for local Japanese favorites like daikon, okra or eggplant. Flavor options can range clams, roe flavor, soy sauce/butter , tomato, bacon/egg and garlic/spicy. The pasta quantity are more than expected. The chef already mixed the small roe within the pasta and dry texture. The pasta only has hints of spicyiness and fully absorbs the seafood flavor. Will return to try other flavor options.
