The concierge you spoke to sounds like a real douche… laughing at a customers' recommendation request is incredibly unprofessional.
I ate Hot Pot at Orange Shabu and it was great. I had Yakiniku at Da-Wan and that was my favourite place in the whole trip, and I had plenty of dim sum at Dim Dim Sum and Tim Ho Wan both in the mall connected to the W. I can also highly recommend Ya Ge at the MO Taipei, it was really
really good Canto. food.
Sadly didn't get to try any sushi or proper xiao long bao, because I stupidly tried Yong He Dou Jiang Da Wang one night, and I tried xiao long bao there along with a yoiu tiou wrapped in an omelette pancake. I was violently sick only a few hours later so I was off xiao long bao and sushi also seemed a bit much after this experience.
