Usually
I
don't
write
reviews,
but
this
time
I
felt
I
must.
First
the
short
version.
DON'T
WASTE
YOUR
MONEY
YOU
CAN
BUY
BETTER
STEAK
AT
THE
NIGHT
MARKET!
(Or
carrefour)
Owner
was
condescending
and
insulting!
If
you
are
interested
in
the
details
and
complete
accounting
of
what
took
place
I've
attached
a
long
version:
The
pictures
I
added
of
the
steaks
are
as
we
left
them
at
the
table
they
were
not
suitable
to
eat!
I've
never
been
more
offended
or
had
a
worse
steak!
The
STEAK
QUALITY
WAS
EXTREMELY
POOR
and
rather
than
admit
that
the
meat
quality
was
poor
the
owner
was
condescending
and
attempted
to
say
that
I'd
never
tasted
a
piece
of
steak
from
New
Zealand.
And,
basically
that
my
wife
was
too
low
class
to
understand
what
his
steak
is.
My
wife
was
born
and
raised
in
Taipei
in
a
business
class
family.
She's
eaten
a
decent
steak
once
or
twice.
My
wife
had
a
New
Zealand
filet
(10oz)
my
son
the
same
and
I
had
ordered
an
American
ribeye
(12oz).
All
three
steaks
had
an
extremely
strong
overpowering
taste
and
we're
extremely
chewy.
Anyone
who's
ever
eaten
a
high
quality
filet
knows
you
should
be
practically
able
to
be
cut
with
your
fork
and
it
should
melt
in
your
mouth!
Even
my
10-year-old
son
who
loves
steak
refused
to
eat
his
filet
after
chewing
on
a
single
piece
for
several
minutes
basically
like
chewing
gum.
In
the
end
I
paid
$2,400
NT
for
three
plates
of
salad
and
three
bowls
of
soup.
Because
the
condescending
owner
refused
to
admit
that
he'd
purchased
low
quality
meat
and
was
attempting
to
pass
it
off
as
high
quality
steak!
The
chefs
did
an
excellent
job
of
cooking
the
steaks
to
the
perfect
temperature
just
as
we
had
ordered
them
and
it
was
certainly
no
fault
of
the
chefs.
The
quality
of
the
meat
was
absolutely
terrible!
The
owner
continued
to
insult
my
family
by
saying
that
we
didn't
know
what
high
quality
steak
was
and
we
obviously
never
had
good
steak
before.
We
refused
to
eat
the
steak!
Even
though
the
owner
insisted
that
I
must
pay
for
80%
of
the
meals
we
ordered.
I
would
have
happily
paid
double
this
for
the
quality
of
steak
I
was
expecting
and
that
were
listed
on
the
menu.
The
owner
then
realizing
that
I
was
willing
to
pay
the
money
started
trying
to
explain
away
the
situation
and
even
handed
me
free
meal
vouchers
for
a
future
visit
with
my
receipt.
I
refused
the
meal
vouchers
as
I
will
NEVER
return
to
this
restaurant
or
any
other
associated
with
this
owner.
In
the
car
my
wife
suggested
this
may
be
a
supplier
issue
in
Hualien.
So,
I
immediately
drove
to
Carrefour
(in
Hualien)
and
purchased
the
exact
same
cut
of
meat
that
I
ordered
at
this
restaurant
an
American
ribeye
for
655
NT.
Went
back
to
my
house
in
Hualien
and
used
a
frying
pan
with
nothing
but
salt
and
pepper
this
steak
from
Carrefour
was
very
reasonable
and
far
far
far
better
quality
than
the
meat
at
the
restaurant.
It
just
exemplified
how
offensive
and
disgusting
my
experience
was
at
this
restaurant.
For
the
record
I'm
Canadian
and
I've
eaten
steak
in
several
countries.
I
used
to
work
in
logistics
and
have
traveled
broadly.
I
have
eaten
steak
in
Canada,
America,
Australia,
New
Zealand,
Brazil,
Costa
Rica,
Panama,
Germany,
not
to
mention
several
cities
in
Taiwan!
The
best
steak
I've
eaten
in
Taiwan
was
an
Yilan.
THIS
WAS
BY
FAR
MY
WORST
EXPERIENCE
EVER
EATING
STEAK
IN
TAIWAN
DON'T
THROW
YOUR
MONEY
AWAY!
