Zheng Er Jia Bento

Review

Zheng Er Jia Bento is at No. 120 Wenhua Road near Feng Chia University, directly opposite the photogenic restaurant Gui Mi, and is a familiar lunch stop for Fengjia students. Supertaste once featured it under the headline that its chicken fillet is bigger than the lunch box, and several local roundups call it the value-for-money king of lunch and students' number one base for a midday meal.

The signature jumbo chicken fillet rice costs NT$100, lunch boxes start at about NT$90, and chicken strip rice is also available. The freshly fried fillet is so big it covers the whole box; the coating is crisp without being greasy and the meat firm, and one student says it stays crisp even after cooling on the way back to the dorm. The rice is drizzled with braising sauce and minced braised pork and comes with three home-style sides, commonly bean sprouts, bok choy and fried tofu; the set of sides is fixed but may change daily. Portions are large, ideal for big eaters.

Praise centers on the big, crunchy fillet and fair prices. A 2024 report gave lunch boxes from NT$85 and the chicken fillet rice at NT$95, while recent roundups list NT$90 and NT$100, a slight increase, but most still consider it good value. The main complaint is that the sides are basic: some local students find the bean sprouts and bok choy ordinary, and those who want variety may find it monotonous.

The student rush from noon to 1pm almost always fills the place, and one report described it as packed with students. One article suggests coming after 1pm or simply getting takeaway, which took about five minutes in one report. Current information lists 11am to 7:30pm, closed Saturdays, but sources say little about hours, so check before you go.

It suits students and office workers on a budget who want a filling meal with a big chicken fillet. Order the jumbo chicken fillet rice on your first visit; if you do not want to wait for a seat, take it away, as the fillet hardly goes soggy when it cools.
