Taipei's East District and Da'an area (from Zhongxiao Fuxing and Zhongxiao Dunhua over to Daan Station) has one of the highest densities of late-night food in the city. This guide is only about what to eat late at night and what you can take to go. If you're looking for somewhere to spend the evening instead, check out AI DARTS, a self-serve darts bar in Da'an.
Jing Xing Cantonese Dim Sum | Open 24 Hours
On Dunhua S. Rd, right by Exit 10 of the East District Underground Mall. A long-running Cantonese restaurant that's open 24 hours, so you never have to worry about finding it closed in the middle of the night. The sān xiān stir-fried rice noodles and spring rolls are must-orders, and it's one of the few late-night spots in the area where timing doesn't matter.
E Quan Shi Tang | Late-Night Diner in the Zhongxiao E. Rd Lanes
Tucked into the lanes off Lane 216, Zhongxiao E. Rd, serving a hundred-plus dishes and drinks every night until the early hours. It gets livelier as the night goes on, and it's great for drinking, eating and chatting slowly.
Aplus Dining Sake Bar | 4.4 on Google
At No. 16, Lane 236, Section 1, Dunhua S. Rd, pairing borderless Japanese dishes with its own house-brand sake. If you want a drink with better food, its reviews have stayed consistently good.
Zeng's Soy Milk | From Early Evening to 1 AM
Open from 4 PM to 1 AM, holding 4.3 stars across more than two thousand Google reviews. For something lighter like shaobing, youtiao and soy milk, this place has a solid reputation.
Hotdogray | Hot Dogs to Go, Grab and Leave
Hotdogray serves inside AI DARTS on Section 4 of Renai Road in Da'an District. Hours: Wednesday to Friday, 8 PM to around midnight, plus every other Saturday. If it rains or something unexpected comes up we may not open, so check the in-store notice or our LINE announcements. There are plenty of office buildings and bars nearby, and quite a few professional drivers stop by after their shift or between rides to grab a hot dog and go.
Takeout picks: the Chili Dog $70, the signature Seared Cheese Chili Dog $100, or a portion of Chili Fries $70. To enjoy it at home, our signature chili is also sold by the bag; for portions and prices, ask on LINE. See the full menu here.
