Lost on Ln 162
The alley numbering on Ln 162 runs off the main lane in a weird order, so the shop is actually closer to the Xinyi Rd end than the temple side. Look for the building with the faded green awning and a stack of plastic stools outside; the noodle place has no sign at all, just a doorway with a curtain. If you reach the betel nut stand you've overshot by about twenty meters, turn back and it's the second door on your left.
honestly the trick is timing, go before 11am or after 2pm cause at lunch the whole lane is packed & u cant even see the doorway. also if ur really stuck just follow the office workers in gray shirts, they all funnel there around noon
lol i got lost there too my first month. the trick is to look for the blue tea shop on the corner of Ln 162 & the little temple, the noodle place is tucked right behind it with just a cloth sign. if u hit the 7-11 u went too far
Seeking recommendations for facial or massage treatments targeting jaw tension and TMJ issues
For muscle-based jaw tightness, the traditional 推拿 places often do better than the fancy facial spas, and they're cheaper. There's a small 國術館 near Shuanglian I go to for neck and jaw stuff, the guy works the masseter from outside and does traction on the cervical spine, which is where a lot of referred jaw tension actually starts. Around NT$800 for 40 minutes, no booking app, you just walk in. It won't fix a real joint problem but if your issue is muscular clenching it's worth a try.
if its actual tmj stuff and not just cosmetic face massage, go see a dentist who does 咬合板 (occlusal splint) first, the massage places treat the symptom not the joint. dr chen at a clinic off fuxing south road near daan park sorted my clicking in like 3 visits, mostly by adjusting my bite & giving me a night guard. the relief from that lasted way longer than any spa facial i tried
my physio at a small clinic near Liuzhangli MRT did intraoral work on my masseter and pterygoid muscles, basically gloved finger inside the cheek releasing trigger points. weird at first but it fixed the morning headaches within maybe 4 sessions. its not a spa thing at all, its rehab, so book it as a medical visit. 針灸 also helped me, the needles go in the jaw and temple, but the physio did more for the actual tightness.
