Sit Fun Taiwanese Restaurant
Don't be put off by the long line that snakes out the door (reservations are not accepted) or the odd name ("sit fun" means "eat" in Cantonese). The line moves quickly and is a testament to the quality of the food, which pays homage to the once-remote Yilan region of Taiwan. It’s a cuisine that is both simple and packed with flavor, whether you go for the slightly sweet, thinly sliced pan-fried pork liver, the pungent crushed oysters with garlic sauce (another favorite), or the creamy, coconut water-scented fried taro root. Really, everything on the menu is remarkable, and servers will hand you an English-language menu, complete with photos, when you enter, so don’t worry about the language gap. As for the décor, it has a rustic elegance, with solid wood tables, a beamed ceiling, and a large mural depicting rural life. All in all, Sit Fun is a very pleasant place to dine—though don’t sit and have fun for long or you’ll anger the people waiting their turn.
