Shin Yeh Mitsukoshi Xinyi Place A9 Restaurant

If you're looking for authentic, high-quality Taiwanese cuisine, Shin Yeh is definitely one of the best choices in Taiwan. From the moment you walk in, you can feel why Shin Yeh has earned such an outstanding reputation over the years. The restaurant is spacious and beautifully designed, with plenty of room between tables, so even when it's busy, it never feels crowded or noisy. The elegant interior combines traditional Taiwanese elements with modern touches, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere that perfectly matches the cuisine. The service was excellent throughout our meal. The staff were attentive, professional, and paced each dish perfectly without overwhelming the table. For the three of us, we ordered several classic Taiwanese dishes: • Pan-fried Pork Liver • Poached Chicken with Scallion Oil • Steamed Fish with Soy Sauce (Market Price) • Braised Pork Belly with Rice • Chinese Yam & Pork Rib Soup (Highly Recommended!) • Taiwanese Gua Bao (Pork Belly Bun) • Stir-fried Sweet Potato Leaves with Garlic Every single dish was delicious. The poached chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, served with fragrant scallion oil that enhanced the natural flavour of the chicken. The pan-fried pork liver was perfectly cooked—soft, rich, and without any unpleasant taste. The braised pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender, with just the right balance of fat and lean meat, making it the perfect companion to a bowl of rice. The steamed fish was exceptionally fresh and delicate, while the stir-fried sweet potato leaves were simple, fresh, and full of flavour. One of my favourite dishes was the Chinese Yam & Pork Rib Soup. The broth was rich, naturally sweet, and incredibly comforting. It was one of those soups that makes you want to finish every last drop. We were absolutely full by the end of the meal, but every dish was so good that we kept going back for another bite. Shin Yeh doesn't try to reinvent Taiwanese cuisine. Instead, it focuses on doing traditional dishes exceptionally well, and that's exactly what makes it so special. Whether you're introducing overseas friends to Taiwanese food, celebrating with family, or simply craving authentic local cuisine, this is a restaurant I would happily recommend. Highly recommended. I'll definitely be back on my next trip to Taiwan! 🇹🇼🥢

Located in A9 of Mitsukoshi Shinyi, it was a surprisingly slow night here. Am always used to find them crowded. Our old time favorites from their original location along Lin Shen Road are all here, the steamed minced pork with salted egg yolk, fresh not fried spring rolls, the tenderest beef pan fried with sate sauce on a bed of spinach, and the yummiest fried sesame balls. I only gave a 4 for food because the steamed pork had gristle and the almond jelly had too much soup tonight and not the usual amount of jelly and fruits. The 4 star rating for atmosphere is because there was a very noisy private party going on in the private room and we were seated right outside. There were many empty tables so a wiser decision would have been to seat guests farther away. But it is a small matter and we didn’t ask to transfer, all in all a small blip and glitch in a good dinner experience. Will I come again? Of course yes. Clean, lovely, elegant atmosphere with excellent Taiwanese cuisine and great service. Wide menu with pictures. Fine dining dishes as well as home cooking, and snacks like fresh spring rolls (these bear no resemblance to the fried finger sized spring rolls; they are not fried and the size is around the circumference of a man’s wrist and about 5 inches in length) and cuapao (Chinese sandwich with braised pork belly garnished with cilantro, crushed sweet peanuts on a steamed rectangular bun - also known as Taiwanese burger) are also on the menu. We spent over $1000 per person because of the steamed crab in glutinous rice and the Buddha jumped over the fence soup, otherwise a simpler meal can be had for much less than Nt$500/person is easily doable here considering the wide menu range. Wheelchair accessibility is also good with elevator access.

If Shin Yeh Taiwanese Cuisine did not exist, something essential in Taiwan’s culinary landscape would feel missing. This is the kind of food you continue to crave even when you are abroad—deeply comforting, unmistakably local, and rich with tradition. The A9 branch at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Xinyi Place offers an especially refined experience. The restaurant serves a wide array of classic Taiwanese dishes, from time-honored banquet favorites to beloved home-style specialties, all prepared with consistency and care. The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, making it suitable for both family gatherings and business meals. Compared with other Shin Yeh locations in Taipei, this branch feels the most polished and comfortable, with spacious seating and attentive service that never feels intrusive. It manages to preserve the warmth of traditional Taiwanese dining while presenting it in a modern, sophisticated setting. For visitors who want to understand authentic Taiwanese cuisine—or for locals seeking a taste of home at its best—this location stands out as one of the finest representations of Shin Yeh’s legacy.

Absolutely love this place! The authentic Taiwanese flavors make you want to come back day after day just to work your way through the entire menu.

Shin Yeh is a long-standing Taiwanese institution, though the food now feels somewhat commercial, like a casual dining chain. Even the signature crab sticky rice was rather average (3/5), and the braised pork rice (3/5) was not as good as that from many mom-and-pop stalls. We visited the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A9 outlet, which gets busy at dinner. The food was below the standard of the main restaurant. The Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A9 outlet is located in the CBD and it is very popular, so booking ahead is recommended.
