Huan Xi - Kaohsiung

To put it simply, this restaurant offers excellent value. The prices are comparable to the street vendors in the area, but the quality of the food sets it apart. The dining area is small, with only a few tables inside and one on the sidewalk. It can get busy due to its location near Wenzao University, so plan your visit accordingly. The menu is in Chinese without pictures, but the staff is helpful. The food is served more like a set meal, with dishes accompanied by rice. I tried the spicy sesame soup with stinky tofu, which was surprisingly flavorful despite my aversion to the tofu. The dry hand-cuffed noodles were my favorite, simple yet delicious. I also ordered a noodle soup to go, which was satisfying but lacked a strong miso flavor. Overall, I highly recommend checking out this place if you're in the Wenzao University area.

In short, this restaurant offers excellent value for money. The prices are comparable to the street vendors in the area, but the quality of food is exceptional. The seating is limited, with only a few tables inside and outside. The location is lively and popular among students from Wenzao University. The menu is only in Chinese, but the staff is helpful. The set menu includes a variety of dishes with rice served by the staff. The spicy sesame soup with stinky tofu was a standout, as well as the dry hand noodles.
