Why go
Shi Yang works as a planned Xizhi meal, not as a takeout or delivery choice. The 2026 MICHELIN Plate gives it a credible reason to be on a New Taipei food itinerary, but the limited public details mean it suits diners comfortable choosing by recognition, location, schedule rather than a fully mapped menu.
About Shi Yang
Shi Yang is a New Taipei restaurant with a 2026 MICHELIN Plate, making it a useful option for diners who want to plan around a recognized meal rather than choose a restaurant casually at the last minute.
The practical way to approach Shi Yang is to plan around the schedule and the smart casual dress code. It is closed Monday; lunch is available Tuesday through Sunday from 12–3 PM, dinner is available Friday through Sunday from 6–9 PM.

Who should prioritize it
Prioritize Shi Yang if you want a MICHELIN Plate-recognized restaurant in New Taipei and are comfortable planning around limited public detail.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Shi Yang reads like a carefully composed retreat: a design-forward building set where urban density gives way to hillside terrain and tree cover. The restaurant favors restraint — both in architecture and on the plate — and cultivates a quiet, contemplative mood that prizes natural flavors over heavy seasoning. Presentation is meticulous, and the owner’s architectural sensibility shapes every spatial decision, so dining here feels intentional rather than performative. The overall effect is sophisticated and serene: a place designed for slow, attentive meals where subtlety and clarity are the point.
Best For
Shi Yang is best suited to diners seeking a deliberate, destination dining experience — think special occasions, focused date nights, or a weekend escape from the city. Its retreat-like location on the Xizhi hills and its restrained, fine-dining approach make it a place to linger rather than rush. The kitchen’s emphasis on seasonal Japanese-sourced ingredients and understated preparation rewards guests who appreciate subtlety, provenance and careful presentation. It’s not a casual drop-in; visitors should plan for a measured, contemplative meal that places the journey and the ingredients at the center of the evening.
Ordering Tips
Let the menu’s emphasis on seasonal produce and precise preparation guide your choices. Signature items to seek out include the peanut tofu, lotus chicken soup and steamed scallops with egg custard — dishes that reflect the kitchen’s minimal, meticulous style. Because the restaurant foregrounds natural flavors and careful sourcing, favor dishes that showcase single ingredients or clear techniques rather than heavily spiced or layered preparations. If available, ask staff about the day’s seasonal highlights sourced from Japan and how the kitchen prefers to present them.

Restaurant context
How Shi Yang compares in New Taipei
Shi Yang is the stronger pick if Michelin recognition matters and you are comfortable traveling to Xizhi for a seated meal. Sung Chu Yuan is the clearer choice for diners who want a defined Taiwanese, $$ reference point, while Uosho is easier to understand in advance if the group specifically wants Japanese food at a $$ level.
For vegetarian dining, Yangming Spring (Shilin) is the more explicit splurge, with a Vegetarian, $$$ positioning that helps set expectations before booking. Joy Vegetarian Restaurant is the closer New Taipei comparison if staying within the city matters more than a known price tier.
San Chieh Mei Nung Chia Le belongs on the same New Taipei shortlist when location is the priority and the group is comparing local options rather than cuisine type. Shi Yang is the pick for a more deliberate meal; Sung Chu Yuan or Uosho are better when cuisine and budget clarity matter more.
