Zhongshan District, Taipei City｜Hai Dafu Izakaya Restaurant

Just back from hotspring still recovering sore legs after hiking, walk along nearby hotel, then found this place. I guess, the front entrance catch my attention. Flipping the menu displayed outside the entrance, decided to give it a try. Warm and friendly welcome from staffs, the ambience is more relax as compared with overcrowded and long queue of opposite Japanese eatery. Food, not regret, though price is on the high side, with nice warm sake - I should stick with my guts for the small bottle instead 😅 😵‍💫 Every items served, taste really good. Unfortunately no dessert to help ease my fuzzy head from drinking too much sake, but owner serve pineapple (on the house), and it’s really sweet Taiwanese pineapple 😊

Authentic Japanese Izakaya. Staffs are very friendly and can speak Japanese. There are some local foods as well.

The salmon fried rice and all they grill meat was amazing, great place, beautiful place to eat !
