VerdictDry, curry-scented runbing squeezed before wrapping
A well-known runbing (fresh spring roll) shop on Bo'ai Road beside Jingfu Temple. Curry-stir-fried sprouts and cabbage are squeezed dry before wrapping, so the roll stays dry and the egg crumbs crisp. It serves only around lunchtime, queues form by 11 a.m., and it often sells out early.

Review
Hu Family Runbing is at No. 16 Bo'ai Road in Taoyuan District, in a lane behind Jingfu Temple, and together with nearby Ahe Runbing City it is one of the two best-known spring roll shops by the temple. Smile Taiwan names it a local favourite in its Jingfu Temple food walk, a blogger made a detour to buy rolls after a hike, many Taoyuan residents say they grew up eating it, and it has more than five hundred online reviews.
Its hallmark is how the filling is handled. Cabbage, bean sprouts and other vegetables are stir-fried with curry, then squeezed by hand to remove excess water before being wrapped, so the roll stays fairly dry, does not drip and the wrapper rarely tears. Other fillings include egg crumbs, pork floss, coriander, scallion and radish, giving a curry aroma and some crunch; a version without sliced pork is lighter. Diners also mention the pickled mustard green noodle soup as another signature, and one roll plus a bowl of noodles is very filling.
Praise centres on the distinctive curry fragrance, aromatic egg crumbs, generous size and polite service. Critics find the seasoning on the mild side and the wrapper a bit chewy, feel the value is only average after queuing nearly half an hour, and some prefer other runbing shops in Taoyuan, so taste is personal.
According to a 2023 blog post, hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday, closed Sundays and Mondays; Google lists no hours, and sources differ, so check before you go. Diners report a daily limit and long queues from around 11 a.m., so arriving late risks finding it sold out. Prices are as posted on site. The shop is in a lane behind the temple where parking is difficult, so walking from Taoyuan Station is best.
Good for anyone wanting a classic Taoyuan-style spring roll or a takeaway lunch after visiting Jingfu Temple. First-timers should order a standard roll to taste the curry filling at its best, with a bowl of pickled mustard green noodle soup for a full meal; non-meat eaters can ask for no sliced pork. To compare, pick up a roll at Ahe Runbing City on the same road.
