Sihai Soy Milk

No frills Taiwanese traditional breakfast shop. Fresh soy bean milk, you can have it hot, warm, or cold. Their signature salty soybean milk with Chinese donuts also very good, it does take a little bit getting used though having a salty sbm. Their Xiao Long Bao also solid, tastes good & hearty, the skin is a little thicker than I’d like. Was able to get a table right away when we arrived at 8am .. there’s long line when we left around 9.

We wanted a soy milk breakfast on our last day in Taipei, and this place really hit the spot. The freshly brewed soy milk was excellent, smooth and not overly sweet, and the dough fritters were freshly fried and crispy. The wait was a bit long and seating inside was quite tight, but takeaway is available, which worked well for us as we ate at a nearby park. This is a great option if you have kids, as they can run around while you enjoy your meal. We ordered a bit of everything from the menu and had a fantastic meal, all for just 400 TWD. Highlights for us were the salted soy milk and the clay oven roll with pork chop. The pork was nicely peppery and the roll was wonderfully flaky. We would definitely come back again. Helpful tip: there’s a public toilet down the escalator at the train station entrance if you need one afterward.

It's a really popular breakfast restaurant among locals and tourist. We came here on a Sunday morning and there was already a long queue. Fortunately, the shops have many tables with a fairly quick turnover rate. We were able to be seated within 15 minutes. While queueing, you can see all the items like their Xiaolongbao being made by hand. The food we had tasted amazing and their Xiaolongbao was our favourite. The bun is not as thinly skinned but we thought it complemented well with the delicious filling.

It’s really good! The soy milk is so sweet and can taste the fresh yellow beans. Sticky rice roll is amazing with the you tiao in it. It’s still crispy after half an hour. The pork floss and the pickled vegetables is great. Salty soy milk is a must to try, very unique taste which is quite interesting too.

Basically this is a breakfast restaurant for locals but over 50 percent of customers are tourists. In terms of food quantity everything is great but it’s a bit difficult for foreigners to get to know the rules. Once you’ve got to used to it, you can enjoy this restaurant from the bottom of your heart, I think. Ah, on top of that everything is very reasonable.

First time trying the salty soy milk and it’s actually better than I thought. Soup dumpling was ok, the though is a bit think but soft and yummy. Cheap and good quality. And don’t need to wait for long queue

Arrived in Taipei last night! After enjoying a good night's sleep, my wife and I trekked out at 7.00 am in the morning to the famed ' Sihai Soy Milk ', in the hope of avoiding the early morning breakfast rush. Well, I guess we were wrong since the place was already packed!! Serving some of the best, savory, hot soy bean milk in Taipei. There's simply nothing remotely close to that quality and authenticity here in the GTA! The entire spread of food on the table, including XLB with yummy broth and well seasoned pork filling; Scallion, egg pancakes; steamed vegetable bun; Turnip cakes; Hot, sweet and savory soy milk...etc all cost less than CAD$15. Those soy milk!....so flavorful and dense! Wow!!
