WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Rich fish collar meets matcha salt

Cobia collar is grilled to a spotty char while its flesh stays firm and rich. Matcha salt on the side gives the same fish another layer of seasoning.

02
Shichimi and nori lift the aroma of the skewers

Shichimi Chicken Skewers are glazed with glossy sauce, sesame, and shredded nori. The thick-cut chicken stays tender as spice and savory glaze overlap in each bite.

03
From crisp cartilage to chewy mochi

Addictive Chicken Cartilage pairs a pepper-salt savoriness with dried chili and a crisp chew, while Fried Cheese Mochi wraps a soft filling in a crisp shell. Their textures are clearly distinct.

🤖 AI Texture Notes

The strengths of 笑居樂食居酒屋小料理 lie in grilled dishes, skewers, and drinking snacks made for sharing. The menu runs from fish collar and chicken skewers to cartilage and dessert, letting a meal move from savory intensity to a gentler finish. Addictive Chicken Cartilage opens with seasoning and a crisp, resilient chew. Shichimi Chicken Skewers combine a deeply glazed sauce, tender chicken, and spice on one stick. For seafood, choose firm Salt-Grilled Cobia Collar with Matcha Salt, then finish with crisp, generously sized Fried Cheese Mochi. Each dish has a clear flavor profile and works well for a group ordering plate after plate in izakaya fashion.

Interior and dining atmosphere:Near Jingmei Bridge, the room carries the lively feel of a Japanese izakaya. The menu comes as a scroll that unfurls like a long imperial decree, while a blackboard lists seasonal specials so you can compare them with the regular selection. Private rooms offer groups more separation, though they may feel warm. With skewers, grilled dishes, sashimi, nigiri, and desserts to mix and match, the table easily becomes a shared small-plate gathering.
Location and transport:The address is 新北市新店區順安街85號, about 400 meters on foot from Exit 4 of Dapinglin Station. By bus, get off at Shun'an Street and walk a short distance; getting off on Fuxing Road means a longer walk. The storefront is beside the old Jingmei Bridge, so first-time visitors can use the bridge and the Shun'an Street address as landmarks.
Addictive Chicken Cartilage

Chicken cartilage arrives in a bamboo basket, dusted with seasoning and dried chili—a clear drinking snack from the moment it reaches the table. The memorable seasoning heightens its savory flavor, while chewing reveals the cartilage's crisp resilience. If the table also has refreshing drinks or other grilled dishes, weave this plate between them to keep the palate moving.

銷魂雞軟骨

Salt-Grilled Cobia Collar with Matcha Salt

The collar is grilled until charred spots appear on the surface while the cut side remains rich and glossy. Matcha salt and lemon come alongside for adjustment. Its firm cobia flesh is the clearest feature. Taste it plain first for the grilled aroma, then add a little matcha salt so salinity and tea notes rein in the richness. It makes a substantial seafood main beyond the skewers.


鹽烤海鱺下巴佐抹茶鹽

Shichimi Chicken Skewers

Chicken skewers are brushed with sauce and grilled to a gloss, then topped with shichimi, sesame, and shredded nori for a more concentrated aroma than simple salt grilling. The seasoning penetrates the meat, while careful cooking keeps the thick pieces tender instead of dry. Sweet-savory glaze and shichimi spice intersect for diners who want a clear focal flavor without sacrificing juiciness.


七味燒鳥串

Fried Cheese Mochi

Fried mochi is crisp outside and softly resilient within, with cheese extending the savory note. The serving is sizable enough to cut into pieces for the table. After a run of savory grilled dishes, it works like dessert while retaining the satisfaction of an izakaya fried snack. For a larger group, a small piece each makes an easy finish.

💡 Ordering tip

For a group, establish the main dish with one fish collar, add chicken cartilage and chicken skewers, then finish with fried mochi. Read the seasonal blackboard alongside the scroll menu before deciding. If you want a private room, arrange seating early and remember that it may feel warm.

🍶 Editor's Take

笑居樂食居酒屋小料理 suits diners who want variety at dinner: cartilage brings a crisp chew and spice, chicken skewers retain tender juices, cobia collar offers firm fish and a switch to matcha salt, and Fried Cheese Mochi closes with a crisp aroma.
