空盤 Komboi
“Komboi”, The English name of the restaurant is a homophone of the Taiwanese phrase “empty plate,” expressing the hope that guests will fully enjoy their meal and leave feeling so satisfied that they clear their plates completely. The dining space features a simple and comfortable design, accented with brown tables and chairs and light-colored pendant lamps, creating a relaxing atmosphere.
The owner and head chef once lived in France, where he built a strong foundation in culinary techniques. He now combines those skills with his own creative touch to craft a series of refined contemporary dishes.
