VerdictA veteran's pan-fried buns by the station, bursting with cabbage juice
A breakfast stall in a lane by Wuri Station where a veteran cook pan-fries buns and scallion pancakes on site. The cabbage filling stays crunchy and the bottoms crisp. Self-serve and pay; queues are routine, so go before 10.

Review
Wuri Pan-Fried Buns sits in a lane off Pingdeng Road beside Wuri Station, an old breakfast stall where locals happily queue. Supertaste's 2025 Wuri round-up and UpToGo's local list both include it, and UpToGo mentions that actor Anthony Wong was once brought here by local friends. A veteran cook fries the buns pan after pan on the spot, and business is brisk.
The menu is simple: pan-fried buns at NT$20 and scallion pancakes at NT$30. The buns have thin skins and generous fillings; the cabbage filling is sweet, crisp and juicy, and the bottoms are fried golden and crunchy. Sources describe the scallion pancake differently: some say it is kneaded repeatedly with layers of spring onion, crisp outside and soft inside, while others call it fluffier and unlike a typical scallion pancake. Either way, eat it hot.
Most diners praise the juicy cabbage filling and honest prices, and enjoy holding something piping hot first thing in the morning. Some feel the buns taste a little plain on their own and add sauce, and a Supertaste editor found the scallion pancake slightly oily, though especially good while hot.
It runs from about 5:30am to 10am and is closed Mondays. It is self-service: pick your own and pay and take your own change, and there can be a wait when busy. Reports suggest arriving before 10am, as it sells out. Parking in the surrounding lanes is awkward; a scooter or walking from the station is easiest.
It suits anyone catching an early train through Wuri or after a cheap, handmade breakfast. Two buns and a scallion pancake make a solid breakfast for NT$70, and you can carry them to A-Yue Tofu Pudding in the market for a bowl of dessert.
