Travel Center / Comprehensive Report

Not sure where to go after chatting with friends late at night? Just got off work or out of a nightclub and have nowhere to go because it’s too late? Don’t worry — "ETtoday" has compiled a list of 6 different 24-hour restaurants in Taipei with a variety of cuisines. You can fill up your stomach anytime, anywhere.

1. Korean BBQ Honey Pig
Brought to the world from the U.S., Honey Pig is known for its super-sized grill where all kinds of meats are piled on the iron plate. The signature thick-cut bone-in beef, pork collar, bone-in pork chops, kimchi, and pancakes are all laid out on the Korean-style grill, where the fat drips down to the tray below — no need to worry about taking in too much oil late at night. Staff will cut the meat and vegetables for you, but if you want to enjoy the fun of doing it yourself, you can do that too.

Mickey Guo Meijing, the Korean “Ajumma” owner, hopes to bring people together through food, just like Korean families sharing meals at the same table and enjoying the warmth of daily life. The signature spicy sauce dishes are especially authentic and classic. If you’re a big eater who hasn’t eaten all day, you can also add table-side dishes and refill the side dishes unlimitedly.

3. Chen’s Cold Noodles
The noodles at Chen’s Cold Noodles are all handmade and rapidly cooled using fans and air conditioning, resulting in a cool, refreshing texture with each strand distinct. The sesame sauce is also meticulously prepared by simmering over 10 types of Chinese herbs. In addition to the basic cold noodle seasonings — sesame sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and vinegar — the secret recipe includes a self-made rock sugar syrup. The five flavors — sweet, sour, salty, savory, and spicy — are perfectly balanced in a golden ratio, giving the noodles a unique layered taste.

It’s not just about the noodles; pairing them with a bowl of their signature three-in-one soup is the classic way to enjoy Chen’s Cold Noodles. Besides the cold noodles, the zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are also a must-try dish.
