THE STORY

The story behind this place

A brand extended from banquet experience

Gandou's background comes from Hsu Tien-sheng's banquet-kitchen experience. When reopening, he named it 港都熱炒 and carried on Sichuan, Cantonese, and Taiwanese skills. The second generation later joined and expanded flagship branches; Minsheng East is one stop in that development.

✨ AI Quick Take

港都熱炒 民生東旗艦店Gandou restaurant(Minsheng East Road store) sits on Section One of Minsheng East Road in Zhongshan District, about five minutes' walk from 雙連站 · Shuanglian. It brings the sharing rhythm of Taiwanese stir-fries into a bright, orderly room, with grilled dishes, three-cup cooking, seafood, vegetables, and soups. Multilingual tablets also adjust oil, salt, and spice, letting friends or groups assemble a table to their tastes.

Setting and atmosphere:The bright first-floor entrance leads to the main seating upstairs, where light-industrial decor feels tidier than a traditional stir-fry shop. Rectangular tables predominate, with round-table private rooms for groups. The tablet allows leisurely browsing and additions without repeatedly finding staff. Rice and ice cream are available inside and drinks come from the refrigerator area, combining lively dining with clear circulation.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市中山區民生東路一段52號, about 450 meters from Exit 1 of 雙連站 · Shuanglian. Dinner can approach capacity and waits are uncertain, so groups should arrange seats first. Tablets set less oil, salt, spice, or no MSG dish by dish. Rectangular tables suit four or five; larger groups may ask for round tables.
● Thai-Style Chili Chicken

The chicken is fried crisp while retaining thickness. Sweet, sour, salty, and spicy sauce moistens the crust without erasing its crunch; shredded cabbage underneath absorbs flavor and is more than garnish. For fried food with vivid seasoning, it opens the appetite at a stir-fry feast.

● Water Caltrop Greens

The slender greens stay bright and crisp after frying, without losing spring from excess heat. Controlled oil keeps them fresh, receiving the preceding dish's tang and preventing the table from becoming heavy. Between meat and seafood, the plate brings a useful shift in texture and color.

● Twice-Cooked Pork

Pork belly is stir-fried with vegetables and sauce. The slices absorb aroma and carry fat without excess greasiness or one-note salt. Sauce ties the supple pork to crunchy vegetables. It naturally asks for rice and shares easily from the table center.

● Steamed Cod

Steaming keeps the cod tender enough to separate with a light touch. Its fine flesh needs no heavy sauce. The plate juices carry seafood savor and continue well over rice; milder than fried or sauce-heavy dishes, it belongs mid-table for slow sharing.

Uncle's take: A stir-fry table is fun not because one dish solos, but because crispness, crunch, aroma, and tenderness take turns until the chopsticks cannot stop.
💡 Ordering note

Four or five diners can choose Thai-Style Chili Chicken and Twice-Cooked Pork as two leading flavors, then add Water Caltrop Greens and Steamed Cod for balance. Set oil, salt, and spice dish by dish before sending. For larger groups, choose seating first and add rounds according to table space and appetite.
