The outlet has caused a stir even before its official opening. While still in trial operation, MITSUI OUTLET PARK Linkou has already drawn many visitors. Even though the mall doesn't open until 12 PM, people were already waiting at the entrance by 11:30 AM. The outlet has introduced many dining options that are opening in Taiwan for the first time. Visitor Ms. Li said that since the mall opens at 12 PM, she plans to hit the food spots that require queuing first, then go shopping.

The Mitsui Outlet features a semi-open layout and has brought in 220 brands, including 16 restaurants. It combines international, Japanese, and Taiwanese brands, with 52 stores making their first appearance in a Taiwanese outlet. There are also 56 shops offering fashion, dining, and food products, including multi-brand boutiques. Among them, 17 Japanese brands are opening their first stores in Taiwan here.

Observations on-site include ramen shops such as Hakata Nagahama Ramen Tanaka Shop and tsukemen (dipping noodles) shop Tsukemen Tama, as well as...<店金子半之助、自助式乌冬面宫武?岐うどん等皆吸引不少排队人潮。购物部分，部分店家虽有人潮排队，但不至于过度拥挤。建议有计划前往林口三井OUTLET的消费者，可以依据到访时间观察美食店家排队状况，再进行购物。
