About House of Taipei

Entrance to House of Taipei in Atria Mall, Petaling Jaya

Established in 2024, House of Taipei's first branch was located in SS2 Petaling Jaya. The intensive culinary landscape and high rental costs in SS2 tested the restaurant, and House of Taipei closed its doors not long.

Not long after, this famous Taiwanese restaurant chain expanded its footprint to Atria Mall. And it’s here where it found a commercially stronger footing amidst a relaxed environment within the neighbourhood mall.

Riding on its recipe of success at Atria Mall PJ, House of Taipei is planning to open another branch at AEON Dato’ Onn (Johor) in December 2026

Stamping its mark for serving signature Taiwanese dishes with a localized palate, House of Taipei’s Braised Pork Rice, dandan noodles and wheel cakes are highly recommended.

Ease of Parking at House of Taipei

Located within the Atria Shopping Mall, the mall’s multi-level car park offers adequate parking even during lunch and dinner time.

In fact, street parking around the mall is scarcer. Thus, visitors prefer to park their vehicle in the mall's car park or the public car park space opposite the mall.

Ambiance at House of Taipei

House of Taipei exudes an ambiance that is inviting yet whimsical, with consistent display of neon blue lighting on its signage and interior lighting.

Flaunting a good mix of contemporary artistry and vintage signage, 2 huge trees near the bigger tables recreate the atmosphere of dining in the park. This resonates well with Taiwan’s culture, where well-manicured parks fill the gaps between towering buildings,

With more than 20 tables of different sizes catering to group dining and pairs of 2, House of Taipei easily reaches full seating capacity on public holidays.

Service at House of Taipei

Customers are required to place orders via the QR menu. Should you require explanation and assistance, the attentive waiters can be easily summoned and are within eye reach.

The first meal is served within 15 minutes from the time you complete your order. So service is fast and attentive.

Food at House of Taipei

If you’ve dined in Taiwan, you’ll agree that their food errs on the bland side – reduced salt and minimal MSG is the order of the day. But Malaysian palates tend to favor heavier seasoning, and thankfully House of Taipei localized its flavors.

The highlight of the restaurant is none other than the Champion Braised Pork Rice. Tenaciously cooked until tender, steeped in thick brown sauce and flaunting layers of fat amidst lean meat, the pork relents to the slightest pressure with each bite.

The Signature Dry Knife Shaved Noodles is another signature dish not to be missed. Generously coated in a luxurious brown sauce and tasty minced pork, the flavorful, thick sauce complements the al dente noodles to perfection.

Served with blanched green veggies, half a braised egg, preserved vegetables, and chili sauce, this savory dish ticks all the right boxes.

The Crispy Chicken with Curry Sauce is a delicious rendition of Japanese curry. Coated with crunchy batter and served straight from the wok, the non-spicy curry is the ideal condiment to this juicy chicken.

While the Wheel Cakes look like pancakes sandwiched with ice cream, their finished product is different from what it seems.

Served in delectable flavors of red bean, taro, custard, peanut butter, cheese potato, and Oreo, the pancakes are neither crispy nor buttery.

With a firm bite and a somewhat doughy texture that’s neither warm, its non-sweet, savory filling lends an unexpected finish to this dessert. It’s a nice way to end a meal, but portion sizes are very small for its price.

As for the Xiao Long Pau (soup dumplings), it’s a far cry from Din Tai Fung’s rendition, falling flat in its stuffing’s, the tastiness of the soup, and the pastry’s a little thick for comfort.

Still, it is a decent rendition, and fairs above par against most restaurants. But Din Tai Fung maintains its pole position in our books.

Vegetarians can rejoice in their diverse vegetarian menu offering 16 different dishes that include ramen, shaved oodles, mee hoon, and rice.

Pricing at House of Taipei

The average price per meal is RM20, and a luncheon for 4 adults will cost above RM100 (without drinks).
