美喝麥喝台式餐酒館 is located on Yanji Street, just a 5-minute walk from Exit 1 of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall Station—super convenient! This place is special; its signature spicy braised dishes have won international chef awards and gold medals in Singapore and Busan, Korea—truly "gold medal" level deliciousness~
The interior features a bright, stylish industrial design, unlike typical dark bars, creating a relaxing and energetic vacation vibe. The most thoughtful touch is the power outlets at every table, so you can drink, work, or take photos without worrying about your phone dying. They also offer private event services for companies and groups—definitely a great choice for gatherings in the East District.
The craziest part? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw unlimited 199 beer on the menu—such a generous deal in this prime Yanji Street location. That day, my friend and I sipped fresh, smooth draft beer while enjoying gold-medal braised dishes and giant handmade dumplings that tasted like grandma made them. It was pure comfort~
I have to highly recommend their signature braised dishes! I ordered the Beef Trio Platter—tender tripe, springy and fragrant beef tendon, perfectly seasoned without being overly salty~
If you love spicy like me, ask the chef to add their special chili sauce—the numbing aroma with the Smoked Boneless Chicken Feet is the perfect drinking companion.
For the main course, these handmade dumplings are exceptional—some online reviews even say they're better than those at Cashbox! The wrapper has a delightful handmade chew, not the thin kind that breaks easily, but a springy shell full of wheat flavor~
The filling shines with cabbage, and the pork is perfectly balanced in fat and lean. When you bite in, it bursts with sweet meat juices—no dipping sauce needed. The crisp cabbage blends beautifully with the meaty aroma, evoking that "grandma-made" taste—familiar and satisfying. Dumpling lovers can't miss this generous surprise!
And this Beef Trio Noodle Soup—springy noodles in a warm, rich broth. A sip of hot soup paired with an ice-cold beer is incredibly refreshing.
If you're craving a comforting main, this Beef Trio Noodle Soup is the top pick. The thick noodles stay perfectly elastic even after soaking in the broth, with every bite delivering that smooth, broth-coated texture~
The sesame cold tofu appetizer is also excellent—full of sesame aroma and refreshingly smooth.
Fried food lovers, take note! The Chef's Secret Spare Ribs are fragrant and not greasy at all—super addictive. This dish will keep you coming back for more! The chef uses a secret marinade that gives the meat deep sauce flavor and balanced saltiness!
The golden, crispy exterior is irresistibly aromatic, with an ultra-crispy texture that doesn't feel oily. Each piece stays juicy, with a solid bite that gets more flavorful the more you chew—classic Taiwanese style that's incredibly satisfying~
Perfect with drinks: Handmade Dried Threadfin! Threadfin is known for its delicate texture, and the chef's handmade preparation locks in its sweetness. The skin is grilled to a crispy golden finish, while the inside stays tender and juicy, with even fat distribution that melts in your mouth! This contrast of crispy skin and tender meat, paired with a light sea salt flavor, perfectly highlights the fish's layered freshness.
The salted pork has a charred, crispy skin and elastic meat. The chef chose a well-balanced cut, and the skin is grilled to an extremely crispy, cookie-like crunch~ The seasoning is rich and layered—you can taste the grilled aroma on its own, and adding garlic or dipping sauce broadens the flavor even more. It's a top-tier drinking snack with distinct texture and full Taiwanese flavor~
The boss treated us to secret fried items! When it arrived, the shape was hard to guess. The boss asked us to try a few bites and guess—I immediately tasted a strong seafood flavor! It turned out to be handmade tempura. What makes this tempura special is its extremely complex and time-consuming process—reportedly taking a full 7 to 10 days! From freezing to icing to refrigerating, every step is meticulous to transform the texture! When served, the first bite makes you question what you're eating—it's as crispy as a cookie with an amazing crunch, yet as you chew, a rich fish paste aroma slowly emerges. This "cookie-like yet tempura" contrast is truly layered and unique—definitely a private recipe you won't find elsewhere. Highly recommended!
This generous spread paired with unlimited 199 beer is the ultimate enjoyment!! Now, with three or more people, you can enjoy the god-tier unlimited 199 beer deal. Honestly, in the East District Yanji Street area, 199 might only get you one cocktail, but here you can drink unlimited!
The beer here is fresh and smooth, with no bitterness—perfect for a light buzz with friends. If you don't drink, they also offer orange juice, cola, or non-alcoholic beer—very thoughtful!
美喝麥喝台式餐酒館 truly strives for excellence in its cuisine, regularly introducing surprising hidden new dishes! The latest highlight is the ultra-rare "bluefin tuna fillet"—only one per fish! The chef makes the skin golden and crispy while locking in silky fat and sweet juices inside. That "crispy outside, smooth inside, fresh and tender" ultimate contrast—watching the chef prepare it makes your mouth water instantly!
美喝麥喝台式餐酒館 is a place I'd definitely bring friends back to. The food quality, comfortable environment, and relaxing Taiwanese Bistro atmosphere are all top-notch. Especially being able to enjoy gold-medal braised dishes and unlimited drinks at such an affordable price in East District Yanji Street—the value is off the charts.
Also, if you're planning a group gathering or company year-end party, besides the popular 199 unlimited drinks and signature braised dishes, I highly recommend booking their "Private Chef Table"! It features the chef's various signature dishes—sure to impress the whole table. Since these private dishes are limited and handmade, remember to call ahead to inquire and reserve so you don't miss this Taiwanese feast!
Life is short—eating here won't be a regret. Next time you're unsure where to gather after work, come to 美喝麥喝 for dumplings, braised dishes, and big gulps of beer!
