私嚐串燒 居酒屋 中正店, Barbecue restaurant in Zhongzheng Village, Taiwan.
私嚐串燒 居酒屋 中正店 is a Japanese-style izakaya and barbecue restaurant located in Zhongzheng Village, Taiwan. It features an open kitchen where skewers of meat and vegetables are grilled to order, with seating at a counter and at tables for small and larger groups.
The restaurant started as a single branch in Hsinchu and grew into a small chain across Taiwan as more diners discovered it. The Zhongzheng location was part of this expansion, bringing the concept to a new neighborhood.
The name of the restaurant mixes Japanese and Chinese characters, reflecting how izakaya culture has taken root in Taiwan alongside local grilling habits. Guests tend to share dishes at the table, which gives the meal a social rhythm that feels natural and unhurried.
The restaurant opens in the early evening and stays open well into the night, so it works equally well for dinner or a late meal. A takeaway option is available with a discount if you prefer to eat on the go rather than at a table.
Every Tuesday evening the restaurant hosts live music while food service continues as normal, which most first-time visitors do not expect. Showing up on that night gives the meal a different feel compared to any other day of the week.
