The signature is fish balls, which the storefront sign emphasizes as "purely handmade" and made fresh. You can pair them with rice noodles, wheat noodles, flat rice cake noodles, or just the soup on its own; braised pork thick soup (rou geng) over rice noodles, rice, or noodles, and minced pork over rice cake noodles round out the other option. One Google reviewer wrote, "The fish ball rice noodles are great — I wanted my family and friends to try Yilan fish balls' distinctive texture too," and another mentioned, "the broth is light and flavorful, and the side dishes are good too." Fish balls are also sold by weight to take home, NT$160 per catty (about 600g).

A fish ball and rice noodle shop on Yuanshan Road, open from 6:30am to 3:30pm, closed Thursdays. The side-dish selection is bigger earlier in the day, so it's worth going before it thins out.
