A Crossroads of Southeast Asian Flavor

Thai in Taiwan

Sour, sweet, and spicy — Taiwan's Thai food scene

View This Category's Food Map ↓ See Other Categories

Thanks to a sizable Southeast Asian migrant community, Thai food is well established in Taiwan. Options range from crowd-pleasers like tom yum and pad thai to community favorites with more authentic flavor.

What Makes It Special?

Adjust the spice

Some places tone it down for local tastes — ask for it 'Thai spicy' if you want the real heat.

Lunch sets

Weekday lunch sets (fried rice, pad thai) are often good value.

Community favorites

Restaurants in migrant-worker hubs tend to serve more authentic flavors.

How to Enjoy It

✓Settle on your spice level when ordering
✓Take advantage of lunch-set hours (roughly 11:30am–2pm)
✓You can ask for cilantro (香菜) to be left out
✓Community-area restaurants tend to be cash-only
