Jinlong Pork Thick Soup
Long-standingLocal favoriteBreakfast
VerdictSince 1976, Keelung's light unthickened pork soup
A Zhongzheng District institution that began as a street cart in 1976. Its pork thick soup wraps lean pork in fish paste and serves it in an unthickened broth with bamboo shoots, light and sweet. The limited braised pork knuckle often sells out early, making it a local brunch favorite.
Review
Jinlong Pork Thick Soup is on Zhongchuan Road in Zhongzheng District. According to a 2025 Mirror Media report, it was founded in 1976 as a street cart at the Nanrong Road junction and moved to its current spot in 1990. The second generation has since taken over and streamlined ordering and the dining room. Supertaste has featured it as a long-established pork-soup shop, and its online review count ranks near the top among Keelung snack spots.
The signature soup wraps lean pork in fish paste and serves it in an unthickened broth over shredded bamboo shoots, so you taste the bamboo and the whole bowl feels clean rather than gluey. The other favorite is braised pork knuckle, made in limited amounts and often gone if you come late. Per Mirror Media, the soup costs NT$65 a bowl and a small knuckle plate NT$70; diners also recommend the pork soup with rice noodles, pig-blood soup and the fresh chili-garlic sauce on the table.
Diners praise the fresh pork and sweet, clear broth, calling it an old shop that keeps traditional flavor, with a clean dining area that isn't cramped. Complaints note that it is off the tourist path and a little hard to find, some find the side dishes average, and others warn that the knuckle may sell out soon after noon.
Recent listings mostly say 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., closed Tuesdays; an older guide listed hours until 7 p.m., so go by the latest notice. It is on Zhongchuan Road, a walk of a little over ten minutes from Keelung Station; parking nearby is difficult, so walk or ride a scooter.
It suits anyone wanting Keelung's lighter style of pork thick soup while avoiding the Miaokou crowds, and works well for brunch. Order a bowl of the soup or the rice-noodle version, add pork knuckle if you arrive early, and use the chili-garlic sauce; a satisfying meal comes to just over NT$100.
