Marubonjin and Wangyuelou Join – High-Floor Restaurants in Greater Taipei Now Total 7

Reported by Huang Shiyuan / Taipei

In May, two “high-rise” restaurants opened: Japanese cuisine spot “Marubonjin” on the 45th floor of Taipei’s Xinyi Breeze, and Cantonese restaurant “Wangyuelou” on the 48th floor of Banqiao’s BAYE Tower in New Taipei City. Adding these to the existing high-floor restaurants at Taipei 101 and Xinyi Breeze, Greater Taipei now boasts seven high-floor dining spots with stunning day and night views.

Wangyuelou
Located on the 48th floor of BAYE Tower, the tallest building in New Taipei City next to Banqiao’s Big City Mall, Wangyuelou offers window-side seating with beautiful day and night city views. The restaurant has three private and secluded VIP rooms—Banqiao Hall (24 people), Fuzhong Hall (12 people), and Nanya Hall (10 people)—along with other regular seating for a total of 100 guests. The menu mainly features Cantonese cuisine with some Sichuan and Hunan dishes. Each dish starts at NT$280, while five set meals range from NT$1,000 to NT$4,800 per person. For lunch, the restaurant specially offers refined Hong Kong-style dim sum starting at NT$120 per piece, and it officially opened on May 24.

The head chef, Su Quanhui, is young at 36 years old but started working in kitchens at age 13, bringing over 20 years of culinary expertise. Signature dishes include Cantonese-style old-fire soup, jade hairpin prawns with green vegetables, truffle scallops with fresh milk, spicy beef tongue, lychee-glazed crispy duck, preserved chili fish with “Old & Young Peace,” and emerald shredded green willow. The dim sum offerings—such as the lifelike shrimp-filled goldfish dumpling and the delicate and cute swan-shaped radish pastry—showcase the chef’s remarkable skills.
