WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Taiwanese stir-fry and Korean snacks on one table

Kung pao chicken brings savory, lightly spicy flavor that suits rice, while the Korean spicy rice cakes are sweeter and gentler, so companions can find different tastes at the same table.

02
A thick pancake with crisp edges and a soft center

The seafood pancake is cut into easy-to-share pieces, with golden crisp edges contrasting a soft center and shrimp and vegetables adding natural sweetness.

Seafood Pancake MetroBites visit photo

Seafood Pancake

The pancake is thick, with golden crisp edges and a soft center. Carrot, scallion, and small shrimp bring vegetable sweetness and seafood aroma. Cut into shareable pieces, it works well in the middle of the table, with dipping sauce adding savory depth.

Crispy Chicken Rice MetroBites visit photo

Crispy Chicken Rice

Large pieces of fried chicken have a pebbly crust similar to Taiwanese popcorn chicken, with substantial meat inside. The sauce leans sweet, with sweet-and-sour notes standing out more than numbing spice. White rice catches the sauce and vegetables such as broccoli round out a filling one-plate meal.

Korean Spicy Rice Cakes MetroBites visit photo

Korean Spicy Rice Cakes

Long rice cakes and fish cake are coated in a bright red sauce, with a soft-chewy bite and sweetness more prominent than heat. The portion works well for sharing. Alongside savory, lightly spicy kung pao chicken, it lets the table move between sweet, salty, and contrasting textures.

A TASTE OF TAIWAN

A Taiwanese table with room for Korean snacks

On this homestyle table, savory kung pao chicken and sweet-tangy crispy chicken rice can sit beside Korean rice cakes and seafood pancake. Taiwanese stir-fry dishes made for rice meet gentler, sweeter Korean-style flavors, showing how a neighborhood eatery folds different cuisines into an everyday meal.

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Grab sharing bowls before dividing the dishes

Utensils, sharing bowls, drinking water, and condiments are self-service. If several people are sharing stir-fries or pancakes, grab the small bowls before dividing the dishes.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Eat it hot on-site for crisp edges

Seafood pancake softens easily after takeout because steam gets trapped in the box. If you care about crisp edges, eating it hot at the restaurant is better than opening the box later.

✨ AI Visit Note

蓬萊小館 sits on Xinhai Road in Wenshan District, between Xinhai (辛亥站) and Wanfang Hospital (萬芳醫院站), about a five-minute walk away. The menu puts Taiwanese stir-fries, Shandong dishes, and Korean flavors on one table, making it workable for both solo meals and sharing. Portions are substantial, and flavors range from savory and lightly spicy to clean homestyle comfort.

Dining room and atmosphere:The shop is near the Xinhai Road and Xinglong Road intersection. The first floor has about three four-person tables, with another dining area upstairs. The space is clean and tidy, while utensils, small sharing bowls, water, and condiments are self-service. Dine-in and takeout traffic can both be busy, and the first floor has been known to fill up. It is not a flashy restaurant but a neighborhood place with a familiar, family feel, comfortable for both solo diners and groups.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市文山區辛亥路四段258-1號, convenient on foot from either Xinhai (辛亥站) or Wanfang Hospital (萬芳醫院站). Popular meal periods may have no seats, so dining a little off-peak can help. Small sharing bowls are available for stir-fries, rice cakes, and pancakes. The seafood pancake is best eaten hot in the restaurant, as steam can soften it during takeout.
● Crispy Chicken Rice

Crispy Chicken Rice pairs large pieces of fried chicken with white rice and sides. The chicken is fried in a style similar to Taiwanese popcorn chicken, with a pebbly crisp crust and substantial meat. The sauce leans sweet, with sweet-and-sour flavor more noticeable than numbing heat. White rice catches the sauce, while broccoli and other vegetables round out a clearly filling plate.

椒麻雞飯
● Kung Pao Chicken

Kung pao chicken uses smaller pieces of chicken stir-fried with dried chili, scallion, and peanuts, with sauce coating the meat evenly. The first impression is rich savory flavor, followed by mild heat, making it highly suited to rice. The pieces are not oversized, but that lets every bite carry sauce, spice, and peanuts in a straightforward stir-fry style.

宮保雞丁
● Korean Spicy Rice Cakes

Korean Spicy Rice Cakes use long rice cakes and fish cake in a vivid red sauce, with a portion made for sharing. Despite the color, the heat is low and sweetness is more apparent, reflecting a gentler version adjusted toward local tastes. The rice cakes stay soft and chewy, while fish cake absorbs the sweet-savory sauce. Eaten alone as a whole plate it can feel repetitive, so it works better alternating with other stir-fries.

韓式辣年糕
● Seafood Pancake

The Seafood Pancake arrives golden from the pan, thick-bodied with crisp fragrant edges and a soft center. Carrot, scallion, and small shrimp are visible inside, bringing vegetable sweetness and seafood savoriness to each substantial piece. It is best while hot for maximum surface crispness, and the dipping sauce adds another savory layer. It is an easy dish to place in the middle of the table for sharing.

💡 Ordering note

For a solo meal, a complete plate such as Crispy Chicken Rice is an easy starting point. With two or more people, combine Kung Pao Chicken, Korean Spicy Rice Cakes, and Seafood Pancake so salty-spicy, sweet, crisp, and soft textures alternate. Portions are generally substantial, so plan staples and sharing dishes around the group size to avoid over-ordering. The pancake is best eaten hot on-site.

Crispy Chicken Rice brings a crunchy cutlet and sweet-leaning sauce, Kung Pao Chicken drives white rice with savory mild heat, Korean Spicy Rice Cakes are easy to share, and the thick Seafood Pancake closes the table with a crisp outside, soft center, shrimp, and vegetables.
