In the basement of Ximending’s Wan Nian Building, Jin Yuan Porkchop is serving up what might be the best pork chop in all of Taipei. Juicy, perfectly seasoned, and paired with rice that’s a meal on its own — it’s a humble spot that quietly blows you away.

Just a short walk from Ximending, Fuhong Beef Noodles is a 24/7 local favorite serving up bowls of rich broth, chewy thick noodles, and fast, friendly service. Here's what to order and why it's worth the visit — even at 2 AM.
