If you are a big fan of Hello Kitty, or all things cute, you have to visit this Hello Kitty themed restaurant. Even if you're not a fan, the cuteness overload would just be as entertaining for the whole family, especially if you have kids. It was conveniently located near our hotel (I planned it in such a way), which was just across the street. It would otherwise be just as convenient as it was located just a few minutes' walk from Zhongxiao Fuxing Station (忠孝復興站).
2017 Update:
They have moved! This time round they are located also a few minutes away from another station, Zhongxiao Xinsheng (忠孝新生站) Station.
From the outside, it looked like a pretty small restaurant. However, who would have guessed there was even a second floor! We arrived at the restaurant at about 2pm, but it seemed like there were still many customers on the first floor. We were given a table on the second floor, which was quite empty. As we walked through the first floor, we could see plenty of Hello Kitty (HK) graphics all over the walls. Cuteness overload. And of course most of the customers were ladies. On the second floor, there were more of the huge HK graphics on the walls. Each seat was also in the shape of HK's ribbon. The menus, tables, coasters all had HK designs. There was also a huge outline of HK on the ceiling. Before we ordered our dishes, we checked out the toilets as well. And as expected, there were plenty of HK graphics all over the mirrors and doors.

With such a cute logo on the outside, who wouldn't give it a try?
It's time to meet Hello Kitty!
Momo Dear feels like she's in wonderland.
Gu~ Hungry? You bet we are.
These walls are certainly a favourite amongst kids and ladies.
Beautifully laid out menus and glasses of water with HK coasters to welcome you.
Whichever table you are seated at, the whole environment is sure to delight you.
A giant HK design on the ceiling.
Every part of this restaurant is not spared of HK cuteness.
We opted for lunch sets, with each set consisting of salad, soup, bread, choice of appetizer, dessert and a drink.
We ordered the lunch sets since it came with salad, soup, bread, choice of appetizer, dessert and a drink. And the final bill was only NT$1,012. For such good food and experience, it was all worth it. After ordering, we visited all parts of the restaurant to take pictures because almost everything was worth taking a picture of.
We are bringing home this coaster hehe.
Almost wanted to bring home this paper placemat too.
Hello Kitty welcomes you to...the toilet.

Hello Kitty and friends welcome you to Hello Kitty Kitchen and Dining.
One could relax in this sofa within the toilet.
And no effort was spared in the toilets as well.
Not forgetting the toilet doors!
Many of these scattered throughout the restaurant walls.
A large private area for a large group of customers.
Eventually, after taking pictures of almost everything possible, our food arrived. First was the salad. Nothing fanciful. Then came the soup and bread. The bread was imprinted with a HK head. Then came our drinks, and side dishes.
Salad to start things off.
Soup and bread with HK imprinted on it.
This table must be meant for 4 guests only.
Took a picture at a different table with backrest.
The glasses had HK designs as well.
Chicken wings as side dish.
Kitty Sweets Burger set. Look at the HK bread!
The carrot was supposed to be HK shape as well.
But one of the eyes was not cut properly.

Meatballs spaghetti.
When all our items had arrived and displayed on our table, it looked like quite a spread. After tucking into our food, we realized the food tasted as good as they look good. Certainly value for money. It was not just another theme restaurant with a nice theme but awful food. And finally dessert was served, which was mango pudding in the shape of what else but Hello Kitty! That completed the whole lunch set, and of course made us very satisfied customers. Will we return to this restaurant again? You bet we will!
Here's our spread. All for only NT$1,012.
Can't bear to gobble up such cute food.
Even the serviette holder and serviettes make a good picture opportunity.
Mango pudding shaped like HK. How can you bear to eat it?
The tables and seats on the first floor.
Another huge sign of Hello Kitty Kitchen and Dining on the first floor.
Last but not least, upon leaving the restaurant, we checked out the cute cakes on display at the front counter. If one did not get enough cuteness in their experience in the restaurant, they could also takeaway more HK in the form of cakes or even some of their merchandise, also displayed on the shelves at the front counter.
This area displays all the cute cakes and desserts, as well as HK merchandise.
Our verdict: Whether you're a fan of Hello Kitty or all things cute, this must be the place to go when you're in Taipei. Even if you're a male adult and not a fan, you could still consider bringing your girlfriend, wife or kids to this place for a wonderful meal. The food does not disappoint and the interior decor will surely spice up the meal and you will walk away with beautiful memories.
