VerdictBib Gourmand pork knuckle bento worth the queue
A braised-meat bento shop on Ren'ai Street in Sanchong, open since 1998 and a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand pick since 2025. The signature pork knuckle has springy skin and tender meat in a balanced braise, and weekday lunch queues form before opening.
Review
According to the MICHELIN Guide, Guang Xing Pork Knuckle has been in business since 1998. It used to trade around Guangxing Street and later moved to No. 124 Ren'ai Street in Sanchong, where the brighter, roomier shop lets diners watch the kitchen through glass. When Michelin added New Taipei to its guide for the first time in 2025, the shop entered the Bib Gourmand list, turning a neighbourhood lunch-box stop into a place people travel to queue for.
The star is the tuiku, a pork hind leg braised all the way through. The skin is springy and rich in collagen, the lean meat is firm but not dry, and the sauce is seasoned just right, so it goes perfectly with rice. Pork trotters and braised large intestine are also popular, and Michelin singles out the intestine for its savoury depth; the house-made chili sauce with tiny fish is worth a try too. Each bento comes with several home-style sides, and one box fills most people up.
Diners mostly praise the tender meat, the cleanly prepared intestine and the homely side dishes, and many remember the cook carefully ladling sauce over each box at the end. Complaints centre on long queues, a dining room with only about a dozen seats, and dishes selling out near closing time. Some also find the flavour on the mild side and say it needs the chili sauce.
Hours are roughly 11:00 to 13:30 and 16:30 to 19:30, closed at weekends. Michelin lists Monday to Thursday, while map listings include Friday, so sources differ and you should check before going. It is cash only; the inner line is for ordering and paying and the outer line for pickup. Supertaste reported the popular bentos at about NT$110 in 2022, and prices may have changed since. The lanes are narrow and parking is hard, so ride a scooter or take the MRT to Sanchong Elementary School Station and walk.
It suits anyone who loves braised pork and wants a Bib Gourmand meal for the price of a lunch box, and it works well as a takeaway for home or the office. First-timers should order the pork knuckle bento; offal fans can choose braised intestine or add a portion. If you dislike fat, ask for less of it, and spice lovers should add the fish chili. Arriving before the lunch opening gives you the best chance of not missing out.
