Discover Kiki Restaurant in Taipei, a must-visit for authentic Sichuan-Taiwanese fusion. Learn about their famous dishes, avoid long waits, and save money by booking ahead through KKday for your 2026 trip.
Alongside the iconic Din Tai Fung, Kiki Restaurant stands out as an unmissable culinary gem in Taipei. It's renowned for its perfectly golden, crispy fried tofu that looks as delicious as it tastes, but travelers rave that every dish on the menu is equally fantastic.
When I first visited, back when I was just starting my travel blogging journey, I had no idea you could book a table in advance from outside Taiwan. So, I just showed up.
The branch I visited (Location A) has since relocated to the ATT 4 FUN branch (Location B).
Dealing with Kiki Restaurant's Wait Times
I arrived at 5:30 PM, without any reservations or pre-purchased tickets (I had originally planned to be there right at the second opening but ended up running a bit late). There were already 9 groups ahead of me. The problem with this kind of wait is that when they open for a new seating, the restaurant fills up immediately, meaning you have to wait for the previous diners to finish their entire meal before you even get a chance to sit down.
Then, I saw people who arrived after me simply show their phones and walk right in. That's when it clicked: advance reservations were definitely possible!
Kiki Restaurant Menu Recommendations
After about a 40-minute wait, I finally made it inside. They had a menu in English, and I opted for a set that included all their most popular dishes. Since I was dining solo, this was more than enough food, so I didn't dare order anything else.
Every single dish was absolutely delicious. If you're visiting with a group, I highly recommend ordering this set as a base and then adding a variety of other dishes to share.
Kiki Restaurant Taipei Prices
My meal, as shown on the bill (Total: 1055 TWD), came out to around ~$33. Keep in mind that a 10% service charge is added to the menu prices when you pay directly at the restaurant. It seems that if you book through KKday in advance, you might avoid this extra charge.
I learned the hard way, but there's no reason not to book in advance when you consider skipping the wait and potentially avoiding the service charge. You can book Kiki Restaurant on KKday via the link above. I also checked Klook, but it seems Kiki Restaurant has an exclusive partnership with KKday. The set menu offered online includes three of the same dishes I enjoyed, with one variation:
Lao Pi Nen Rou (Crispy Fried Tofu)
Chang Ying Tou (Stir-fried Chive Flowers)
Feng Li Xia Qiu (Pineapple and Shrimp with Mayonnaise)
Suan Ni Bai Rou (Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce)
Only the last dish is different from what I had. Booking in advance through KKday is not only potentially cheaper due to avoiding the service charge but also allows you to specify your dining time, ensuring you're seated right away without any waiting. Next time I visit Taipei, I'm definitely booking ahead (and will likely check out their new location!).
Kiki Restaurant is truly a must-visit in Taipei for any Taiwan traveler looking for an exceptional culinary experience.
