Reviews Summary
Huang Ji Braised Pork is a highly-rated Taiwanese eatery celebrated for its incredibly tender and flavorful braised pork rice. While the rice texture might not be for everyone, the rich sauce and succulent pork are consistently praised. Diners appreciate the affordable prices and authentic local atmosphere, though be prepared for queues during peak hours. The Michelin Guide recognition further solidifies its status as a must-try spot for traditional Taiwanese comfort food.
"Their Kakuni (big dice chunk braised) Pork meat is the best.
My wife doesnt like the smell but the meat is tender and juicy. Blend well with the soy sauce on top of hot white rice.
My recommendation to accompany the kakuni rice bowl will be Radish Soup (with chunk of meat bone as well) and stir fried veggie with rice noodle and meat.
Its really good.
A lot of japanese came visiting this stalls as well they even prepared japanese menu.
This stall also recommended on Michelin’s Guide for B gourmet.
Do try it!!! You will be surprised with the quality and waiting time. Hahaha"

"Seems to be really popular with the locals. I was there at an off peak hour, 4pm and while there isn't a snaking queue, there were 5 orders before mine and a constant flow of diners.
I ordered a 鲁肉饭便当 which comes with 3 sides and got an additional braised egg. The rice is not as sticky as I would like (not the pearl rice texture) but the braised pork is really good! I like that you can really taste bits of meat and not just fats and a good portion that covered the rice well. The braised egg was also very well braised through. Even the marinated seaweed side was good.
A good 鲁肉饭, worth a queue if you are in the area, but not something I would travel all the way for."

"I was initially hesitant to try the braised pork belly rice here after reading reviews that the rice they use is not the slightly sticky/gluey kind that I prefer, but I’m so glad I gave it a try!
The generous serving of sauce and layer of well seasoned minced pork went surprisingly well with the short grain rice which soaked up the flavours while remaining discrete and yet surprisingly moist. The braised hard boiled duck egg was a really great add-on as it was unexpectedly flavourful.
As is to be expected for such popular eateries, I arrived around 1225pm on a weekday and waited till 1240pm before I got a table. The nice lady at the entrance made the system of ordering, getting the queue number for the table, payment etc, very easy even for a first timer."
