Where to Eat Near Kaohsiung World Games Stadium: 6 Must-Try Restaurants

Planning a trip to Kaohsiung? The World Games Stadium (Kaohsiung National Stadium) frequently hosts events, and it's the venue of choice for international stars performing in the city. Here are the best places to eat around the stadium so you can fill up before and after a concert — from international cuisine to authentic military-village food.

AMENGIN (梅琴洋行)

Fancy sipping wine and dining inside a 75-year-old heritage house? AMENGIN sits in the Jianye New Village near the World Games MRT station, a former Japanese-era naval officers' residence. By day it's a café with a nostalgic Japanese military-village vibe — the curry rice and summer-only soba are signatures — and by night it transforms into a bistro with seasonal limited-edition cocktails.

Address: 22 Weishi 11th Rd, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung. Hours: Tue–Thu 11:30–17:30, Fri–Sat 11:30–22:00 (closed Sun–Mon). Minimum spend NT$168 per person.

NA KI (藍記) Italian Kitchen

A well-known private-kitchen favourite that locals have loved for 12 years, NA KI's chef hand-picks ingredients at the market daily and cooks according to the season. It recently moved to Jianye New Village and offers business lunches every Tuesday and Thursday from June 11; the second floor can be booked for private events — perfect for anniversaries and celebrations.

Address: 64-1 Wei 9th Rd, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung. Hours: 12:00–14:30 and 18:00–21:00 (closed days announced on Facebook).

Liu's Sauerkraut Hot Pot (劉家酸白菜火鍋) — Original Branch

The legendary taste of military-village cuisine lives here. This sauerkraut pork hot pot in Zuoying is a shared memory for Kaohsiung locals, with a simple storefront that's always packed. The fermented cabbage keeps a traditional method — sour but not astringent, richly fragrant with a natural sweetness. Don't miss the signature beef pancake roll, whose crispy skin wraps tender braised beef for a multi-layered bite.

Address: 9 Jieshou Rd, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung. Hours: 11:00–14:00; 14:30–22:30.

Jinkoulu Small Eatery (金口祿小館)

Just steps from the Zuoying HSR station, Jinkoulu is famous for its soup dumplings, pancake rolls and dumplings — widely regarded as the best spot near the station. Its standout is the curry potstickers, with rich curry flavour and a crisp, non-greasy skin. The beef pancake roll is another crowd favourite.

Address: 573 Chongxin Rd, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung. Hours: 11:00–20:00.

Zhenhe Beef Noodle House (真鶴牛肉拉麵館)

Operating locally for over 30 years, this cozy beef noodle shop specialises in braised beef noodles and Sichuan-style spicy beef tri-treasure. The broth is simmered in-house; the Sichuan series adds fresh Sichuan spices to the braised base for a numbing, aromatic kick. Choose wide or thin noodles — both springy and chewy — with thick, tender beef shank and tendon.

Address: 461 Zuoying Ave, Zuoying District, Kaohsiung. Hours: 11:00–14:30; 17:00–20:00.

Rongxing Hong Kong Late-Night Eats (榮興港式夜宵)

Hungry after the concert? Head to Rongxing near the World Games station for Hong Kong-style late-night dining — spicy duck blood and tofu hot pot, congee, instant noodles, and dim sum — open until 1am, so you can keep the night going after the show.

Hours: 18:00–01:00 (closed Tuesday).
