Zyuu Tsubo

Tainan


A narrow corner space that whips up a mean donburi (Japanese rice bowl), and other goodies like fried chicken and beer (served in frosty mugs). There are only 10 counter seats, which allows you to chat with the owner but also means you may have to wait for a table. Go 30 minutes before opening to register.

See their Facebook and Instagram for the latest opening hours, announced at the end of each month.
