Diner One - Ardross Australia

Very authentic Taiwanese food, just like those in Taiwan night market. An absolute hidden gem in the area. Very pleasant surprise.

You can’t go wrong with a meal for $12. Plenty of chicken fried FRESH with pickled veg and a generous helping of rice... I’ve managed to get my coworkers obsessed with this place too. The only comment I’d make is to add more vegetables! Otherwise fantastic food for the price.

Diner One in Willagee is exactly the kind of spot I wish had been open when I was still a student (and still skinny enough to enjoy unhealthy food like this regularly). It has the perfect combination of being both cheap, hearty and tasty. The place serves Taiwanese style food, including yummy fried chicken breasts, fried chicken pieces, fried octopus balls, fried squid tentacles, fried mushrooms, fried fish tofu, fried mantou buns with condensed milk… You get the (very fried) picture.

Went in on a soggy night after reading various reviews and was not disappointed. The welcome was cheery and enthusiastic to this rather bijou venue. Menu is short, to the point and focused on Taiwanese comfort food. The chicken breast was simply brilliant crisp on the outside and juicy tender on the inside. The brisket was equally good, soft and melting yet not completely falling apart. The flavours were simple, the dishes were well executed and the price was just right. Next time I'll try the pork tripe.

I love the restaurant. I noticed it since 2014 and I kept having my dinner almost once a month. Boss is nice, food is delicious, and it's not expensive at all.
