After two days of traveling in Tainan, I found myself coming to this Uncle Fried Tempura Specialists shop twice!
Their fish cake is truly different from typical fried food shops - crispy without batter coating, with a tender inside, then sprinkled with various flavored powders. It's absolutely addictive!
Besides fried fish cake, they offer many other fried items, plus one secret menu item most people don't know about!
Check out the menu below and guess what delicious item I accidentally discovered - a must-try recommendation for everyone!
This Uncle Fried Tempura Specialists is the original store, located near Hayashi Department Store. It should definitely be included in any Tainan itinerary.
If you like pan-fried buns, you can also stop by Tangkou Pan-Fried Buns nearby!

Located at the intersection of Zhongzheng Road and Section 2 of Yongfu Road, Uncle Fried's bright signage is hard to miss.
Being close to Hayashi Department Store makes it easy to include in travel plans.
Honestly, the area around Hayashi Department Store is packed with amazing food!
The shop front is spacious and clean, though there's no seating - but everything comes in convenient takeaway packaging.
An electronic menu board displays options while you queue.
There's also a printed menu at the ordering counter.
The star here is fish cake (tempura), but they've expanded to many fried items, even offering combo meals that all look delicious!
Then I noticed an easily overlooked item that turned out to be amazing - the "Traditional QQ Fish Cake"!
Most people order the signature crispy fish cake strips first, then other items, missing out on this hidden gem with completely different texture and aroma.
Highly recommend trying it too!
For those who can't decide, try the "5 Top Sales Combo" to sample everything at once!
Food is prepared in a semi-open kitchen where you can watch the frying and seasoning process.
It's clean and transparent, letting you see exactly how your order is made.
Crispy Fish Cake Strips (Small) [叔脆甜不辣條 (小)] NT＄55
These resemble fries - crispy exterior with soft, QQ interior and fresh fish flavor.
Uncle Fried's secret isn't just the frying, but their special fish paste recipe that makes the fish cake extra sweet - something other shops can't replicate!
That's why it's a must-try.
They offer various seasoning powders.
Having visited twice, I tried Tainan plum powder (台南梅粉味) and chili pepper flavors (朝天媽辣椒).
The sweet-salty Tainan plum powder pairs perfectly with fried fish cake.
The chili pepper packs real heat - the spicy aroma with hot, crispy fish cake is irresistible.
Traditional QQ Fish Cake (Small) [傳統Q甜不辣 (小)] NT＄35
I chose wasabi seasoning (日式煎芥末) - mild with peppery saltiness and subtle wasabi aroma (not too pungent).
But the real star is the texture - slightly firm outside but super soft and QQ inside.
Even more flavorful than the strips, with stronger fish aroma that evokes seaside freshness.
Honestly, this is a must-order too.
Trying both types lets you enjoy completely different textures and flavors.
Uncle Fried Tempura Specialists truly stands out from typical fried food shops with their ingredient quality.
I'll definitely return whenever visiting Hayashi Department Store - might even make special trips just for this!
