What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Jin Yue Xuan is celebrated for its exceptional Cantonese dim sum and dishes, praised for their authentic flavors and high-quality ingredients. Diners often highlight the lobster and vermicelli and the refined ambiance. However, some find the service to be slow and inattentive, and portions can be smaller than expected, leading to a higher price point for some.
"This is one of many great Dim Sum and Cantonese restaurants in our city, I've been here before a while ago, but forgot to review it, and I want to make sure people know that Dim Sum here is absolutely fantastic. Even though it's a bit pricier than your average Dim Sum restaurant in Taiwan, and the service is very very slow but the quality and ingredients are top and therefore worth a visit."
Captain Daniel
"It’s a solid restaurant for Cantonese style food in Taiwan. Their Peking duck, lobster and vermicelli, and mango pomelo sago dessert was all delicious. The vegetables, soups, and sides were also all tasty. It’s not the absolute best Cantonese food in the world with some dishes being average in taste, but overall, the quality and flavour of the food was very good."
Munchica
"Service was professional. There are clumsy moments with handling dishes, but overall very professional with communication. The price is on the higher side with smaller than expected portions. Some people may only get one bite out of the dish. Food was tasty with good quality overall. Atmosphere was good with fine noise insulation."

See my Favorite Restaurants in Taichung City. 2023 Update!
I am not a huge Dim Sum fan, but my wife is, and she insisted on bringing me to Jin Yue Xuan, which is a stone’s throw from my Taichung house. Absolute love at first bite!. It’s a pretty elegant / fancy place, and prices are not cheap, so skip it if you’re on a budget or just backpacking your way through the city.
