For family dinners, Chinese restaurants are preferred, especially when the protagonist is an elder. Stability, familiarity, and a decent atmosphere are often more important than innovation. This time I visited Qingya, mainly to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. She has always loved Hong Kong food and classic Cantonese cuisine, so she chose Qingya Chinese Restaurant, located on the upper floor of Banqiao Hilton, near her home.
The restaurant is spacious, the atmosphere is bright, the service staff has a thoughtful attitude, and the overall environment is quite suitable for family gatherings. However, when the dishes are served one by one, although there are not obvious thunder points, there are a few impressive highlights.

Qingya menu Introduction and Dining Experience
Signature specialty: Yanhong braised goose (half)$2,480 ｜One goose and four meals
Qingya's most representative dish is roast goose, which can be extended to "one goose and four meals", which is not common in Taipei and has become the highlight of this meal. We chose：
Freshly cut roast goose burrito at the table
It is similar to the traditional Peking duck burrito, but Qingya offers more ways to match it. In addition to the classic sweet noodle sauce, green onions and gherkins, two additional flavor combinations are also prepared, burdock and shredded apple with fruit vinegar, lotus root and shredded green papaya with plum sauce.
In theory, this design should make the roast goose feel lighter and richer in fat. However, after the actual tasting, these creative collocation did not work as expected, and the flavor was weak. On the contrary, the traditional sweet noodle sauce can best set off the aroma of roast goose itself.
Chop goose legs
In contrast, the performance of goose legs is satisfactory. The meat is soft, tender and juicy, with a moderate proportion of sebum, and it still retains elasticity after biting. It is the most stable part of this roast goose series.
Stir-fried goose pine with romaine pine nuts
The time for this dish to be served is obviously late, and the rhythm is slightly unbalanced. What is even more surprising is that it is not the common beautiful lettuce that wraps goose pine, but the beautiful romaine lettuce. The leaves of Lom Mei are harder and less easy to bend, and they are not easy to coat when eaten, which affects the overall experience.
Sour cabbage goose bone soup
The soup is refreshing and mild in acidity. It tastes smooth but not stunning. It is a "safety brand" performance.
Smoked box Tibetan Fragrant Black Char Siu $1,080
I originally had high expectations for this dish, after all, it is one of the restaurant's signature dishes. When the lid is opened, the visual effect is quite eye-catching, but after the entrance, it is slightly lost.
The smoky flavor is not prominent, and the overall aroma is not as rich as expected; the meat is oily, and the latter part is a bit greasy, which is a bit different from the imagination of the top Hong Kong-style char siu in my heart.
Steamed turquoise Steamed Gentian spots $1,180
The fish is tender and the heat is properly controlled, so the classic combination with tofu is safe. But it's a pity for a restaurant at this price to eat fishbone during the meal.
Dry fried beef Pho $480
This dish is the least satisfactory one in this meal. The beef is tough and tendon-rich, and it is laborious to chew. It completely loses the smoothness and wok aura that Hong Kong-style dry-fried pho should have, and the overall completion is not good.
Crab noodle seafood tofu pot $780
One of the relative highlights.
The amount of seafood is solid, the tofu is tender and delicious, and the overall taste level is clear. If the flavor of crab noodles can be more intense, the whole dish will be even better.
Fried asparagus with lily ginkgo $480
A refreshing and healthy vegetable dish, but the performance is stable and there are no particularly prominent memory points.
Port point
Overall, the performance of the Hong Kong points is of an average level, and it has not brought many surprises.
Char Siu Crisp $220
Gold Medal Shrimp Dumpling King $280
Porcini mushroom dumplings with wild mushrooms $260
dessert
Portuguese egg tart $220
The appearance is small and cute, the filling is smooth, but the sweetness is slightly higher.
Pomegranate Grapefruit Nectar Cake $240
One of the more special is that it contains grapefruit pulp, with a fresh taste and distinct layers.
Yangzhi Manna $280
The performance is ordinary, there is not much amazing about it.
Personal feelings
Qingya's roast goose Siwei is indeed a major feature. It is not common in Taipei. It is suitable for diners who want to try different changes. However, in terms of the completion and flavor of the dishes alone, the overall performance tends to be well-behaved, and there is a lack of key dishes that make people want to make a special trip next time.
As a venue for family dinners or birthday celebrations for elders, Qingya is still a safe choice with a decent environment and thoughtful service; however, if you look forward to a breakthrough in taste, it may be a little dull.
