Long a favorite with those looking to enjoy great Japanese cuisine in an earthy environment, Xiao Jiang has become a bit of a Taipei icon when it comes to Japanese fare and now so popular that those without reservations often have to wait to be seated. With its relaxed come-as-you-like attitude there's no arty decor, the furniture is not "fashionably mod" and the waiting staff are, thankfully, more concerned with the hunger pangs of the patrons rather their hairstyles.

Time and effort rather than portion control and margins is the foundation of VVG and the recipe is clearly working, with meals ranging from cognac mushroom soup (NT$150) to cream truffle lamb chops served with eggplant and roast pearl onion (NT$650).
