With 22 locations across Taiwan, Long Sian Ju is a ubiquitous experience at the end of a night market trip. The franchise has its roots in night markets and over the years strategically opened brick and mortars by night markets, making the perfect haven to duck in and sit down for a warm bowl of nourishing soup away from the chaos just outside. Long Sian Ju specializes in traditional chicken soups, including the popular winter dish, sesame oil chicken (chicken cooked with ginger, sesame oil, rice wine and goji berries) that warms you from within.

This is Taiwanese fast casual “health food” dining at its best. A steaming bowl of soup with the depths and medicinal benefits of Chinese herbs, a simple rice or noodle, varied sides to complement. Wholesome, simple ingredients crafted in the tradition of home cooking. Healthy enough to make up for whatever you were eating at the night market. Nutritious enough to make for a hearty lunch when you’re feeling under the weather. Delicious enough to crave on any given day, even in the dead of summer. And reliable and fast enough to be a go-to spot for any chicken soup needs.
