    Low cleanliness and had two cockroaches on the tables running here and there during the consumption on May 5th, 2019. No servers came for help. And at the end of dining, found a piece of glass in the hot pot. 🤮 (Uploaded some photos to prove my consumption.)

    Traditional style hotpot. It’s sooooooooo yum! I strongly recommend traditional flavor hotpot, pan fried beef with bbq sauce, and fried rice with olive vegetables. Cash only, remember!

    A busy famous Hotpot joint, you can eat hot pot or order some alacarte items also look very appealing. Large meat plates are very satisfying and overall flavors of hotpots are really good, do not sit by 1st floor by the window!? Cause outside is recycling and garbage bins, try sit on second floor.

    Our trip has been challenging to us so far from Taipei to here. Luckily we found this place on GG map and hotel staff recommended us to visit too. No disappointment at all. Soup bases have a very unique taste, unlike other hotpot places we've been. All kinds of meat, vegs and mushrooms are all supa fresh. Cant get away Taiwan beer haha. Oh and the homemade tea is such a great way to end the dinner 😏 The boss (I guess) was super friendly and welcoming. As well as the staff was really taking good care of us. Thank you ~ We spend roughly 600NT$ per person (3pax).

    I love the natural sweetness of the signature satay flavour soup base. However, shortage of staff reduces the productivity of the workforce here & Ingredients are at norm.

    The hot pot restaurant is near Formosa MRT. You can tell the receptionist how many people of your group and wait. The staffs are nice and friendly. Satay hot pot is good, chili is ok.

    This is by far the best hot pot I have had in Taiwan. My wife and I have been to a lot of different hot pot places in Taiwan, but this place is amazing. You should definitely try their wet-aged beef. There is nothing else like it.

    I'm not sure about this hotpot restaurant... Wasn't my choice and you definitely want to make a reservation ahead of time as it did get pretty busy as we were leaving around 7:30pm on a Saturday night. We tried their signature broth and it was ok. It started off pretty light in flavor and ended up being flavorful towards the end. So if you like to drink your hotpot broth I would recommend it. I tend to prefer broth that is heavily flavored so I taste the flavor when I cook the meat. They feature their signature hotpot BBQ sauce and it was just ok as well in my opinion. It's flavorless and has a peanut flavor added to it unlike the BBQ sauce you may be used to at other hotpot places. After mixing in some of the provided aromatics and soy sauce it tasted better but not really much to rave about. The ingredients are all a la carte orders and they are somewhat expensive. I forgot how much they said the corn costs but we had I think 4-5 small pieces of corn, about 1 whole corn cob basically, and it was 90 NTD I think they said? They weren't even meaty corns sadly, you know the kind where you really sink your teeth in for the kernels. If there was one item that stood out that I can say I believe was worth the value, it would be the scallops. It was decent sized and seemed to me to be well priced. It was sweet and delicious and did not have any fishy smell or taste. Oh and I do not recommend you get the beef stir fry in my picture. It was just not good at all, definitely not what I expect from a stir fried dish. The beef was all soft and chewy, like they boiled it then added the sauce and "stir fried" it. The meat was definitely not stir fried based on the looks and the texture. The sauce was their signature BBQ sauce which if you do not add any other flavorings, it will taste bland. Yes, that is exactly what they did not do, add any other flavorings. Just save your money, I'd honestly just get some tofu for the hotpot instead of the beef stir fry dish. Their service was not the worst nor was it great. We had to get up and chase down a server to get something wrapped up as we had leftovers. We were going to add more ingredients but no one ever came by our table. The servers themselves seemed lifeless but were at least courteous. I hope management can either hire more help if they are understaffed. I did not see any signs that they were seeking help though. Also it's odd for an a la carte hotpot places to have a time limit for dining...and I think it was 1.5 hours too, not even 2 hours. I don't know why we keep trying a la carte hotpot places. Part of me is always hopeful when we try then but I seem to end up walking away disappointed. The food was just OK, I would rate it higher if the cost was not a blatant money grab (looking at you corn), I don't understand why people like to be ripped off (yes we were too). Service was a little below average, I shouldn't have to hunt down a server for service and the time limit for dining is whack. All the more reason to have ample amounts of servers or figure out a way to be more efficient. 3 stars is just being nice as I do empathize with the service staff and my criticism is more aimed at management. If you are going to charge a premium price, better be ready to back it. Another hotpot place where it is all looks and lacks substance.

    Great food in super cold air-conditioning comfort. Go for the recommendation and you won't regret! 2600NT for table of 5 including a large fish meat platter and a sirloin platter among others.

    Best beef hot pot, Shantou style!

  • 4/5 Peggy C. 1 year ago on Google
    First time being here. The unbelievably long queue was a bit shocking at first but the food was actually worth the wait. Hot pot was highly recommended! Only the service could be better, but understandable with such a busy biz. Would def come back!

  • 5/5 Leo R. 5 years ago on Google
    A famous hotpot restaurant in downtown Kaohsiung. Very tasty! Location: next to MRT Price: moderate. 500 TWD per person. Service: very nice Food: quality beef and meat ball. Fish soup is tasty. Environment: historical decor. Round tables suitable for groups.

  • 4/5 Michael Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Old traditional shantou hotpot with a long history. The soup is nothing too special. But the service is quite good considering many old shops decline in service quality. Parking nearby, although no courtesy parking fee deduction. Overall not a bad choice.

  • 5/5 Shih-Kai W. 3 years ago on Google
    a famous hotpot place with a bit of history. The broth of dried flat fish is a must; it’s full of flavor with a wonderful balance of sweetness and savor! There’s usually a long queue, so make sure to make a reservation in advance.

  • 4/5 Astrid T. 1 year ago on Google
    I would give it 5 stars if the service is as good as the food. They can certainly do more with the staff training but undeniably the hot pot and ingredients are very good.
