What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
SHI YUN Taiwanese Fried Chicken is a highly recommended spot, celebrated for its perfectly fried chicken and customizable seasoning, especially the fragrant garlic. Diners appreciate the wide variety of fried options and the fun atmosphere for groups, although some find the seasoning on certain items a bit light. While service can be slow due to fresh preparation, the quality and flavor make it worth the wait.
"Been here countless times during my stay in taiwan few years ago, and just came here again recently. The food taste didn’t change at all, it’s still one of my favorite comfort foods (unhealthy one😂). Best part is that you can add your own extra seasoning to make it more salty and spicy. Loveee the soft tofu and chicken the best. Should definitely come here if you haven’t already been before !"

"We ordered through Uber Eats and it took a while to arrive, which may skew the rating a bit due to fried food should be eaten hot. Nonetheless, some of the items we’d ordered were good and others were so so. The egg tofu (just a name as there was no egg in it), the sweet rice stuffed in pig intestines and cucumbers (yes, you’ve read that correctly and we didn’t know you can deep fry cucumbers) were very good. I guess the old saying “it’s true that anything deep fried is good” has some truth to it. Others such as tempura and chicken were just okay."

"This one is 100% recommended & must try!!
They sells Taiwanese fried chicken and the other fried stuff. The squid and chicken taste really good. Besides, they also sell a tasty curry rice!
If you buy the curry rice, they provides a free drink."
