Chinchiyuan Yongkang Branch
Taipei
In Yongkang Street, dumpling spots are a dime a dozen. Wile Din Tai Fung has its name in lights for good reason, there's much to be said for the smaller mom 'n pop style dumpling vendors. Though Chinchiyuan doesn't twinkle in the same stardust as some of its neighbors, this dumpling house stretches the dollar and happily fills the belly. From just NT$80+, a serving of dumplings is hella budget friendly.
The menu here brags over seventy dishes - mostly for the dumplings and dumpling-soup s' varieties. A low-key but comfy dining area, with delectable Cantonese congee also on offer. Chinchiyuan (金雞園) is open 9AM to 9PM daily. Credit cards aren't accepted, but with meals averaging NT$180+ per person, you probably don't need them. Nearest Taipei metro: Dongment MRT station (red and yellow line).
