I previously saw someone recommend this place on IG and decided to follow their account. Looking at the photos, their curry rice looked really delicious... Considering the savory dishes at coffee shops, it wasn't too expensive, so I chose to come here for dinner. The interior decor has an old house style, but it doesn’t feel cluttered due to the decorations; overall, it’s warm, comfortable, and quiet.
The minimum order is one drink; savory food or desserts cannot be used to offset this. After eating, I settled the bill.
🌻 Tomato Cream Spice Curry $230
I thought it was really tasty, and I personally recommend it! The spice flavor is not too strong but definitely noticeable, pairing well with the slightly sour tomato taste and the gentle creaminess, as well as the minced meat and potatoes in the curry. Overall, I think it's very balanced and delicious~
🌻 Mixed Berry Sparkling Drink $170
It's a standard sparkling drink, with quite a few berry bits. However, the price is on the higher side for a sparkling drink, so the value for money is lower.
🌻 Small Round Caramel Pudding $130
It’s delicious! The caramel is slightly bitter and not overly sweet, the pudding's sweetness is moderate, and the texture is great with a strong egg flavor... I don’t often eat pudding at coffee shops, but I found this one really good, though the price is still on the expensive side.
Overall, it's a nice place, but the prices are a bit high for students... I would want to revisit when I have some extra budget!
Foodholic Nako @ Taipei
"Cha Wu Ramen" is a ramen shop that uses tea in its broth, located in the Zhongshan Station area, which is a hot zone for ramen places in Taipei. Nearby, there are famous spots like Ghost Gold Stick, Kirin, Tian Ji Noodle House, Pool Sound, etc., and many new ramen shops have recently opened.
"Cha Wu Ramen" is also one of the new openings in the past two months. The queue system is very friendly; you just need to fill out a registration form, so you can line up even if not everyone in your group has arrived.
The ramen menu is quite simple, offering only three types of noodles, each using a different tea-based broth: Earl Grey, Hojicha, and Oolong tea. As a fan of food with various tea flavors, I was thrilled to see this menu; the names are great, and I wanted to try all of them.
The ramen noodles are only thin noodles, but you can adjust the firmness (hard/normal/soft). We all chose hard this time, but it felt more like the normal texture from other ramen shops?
You can get extra noodles for free, which is great news for big eaters, but you need to request this when ordering, as you can't add them halfway through your meal.
Hojicha Chicken White Broth - $290
Contents include: 2 pieces of chicken chashu, 1 piece of pork chashu, 2 wontons, half a soft-boiled egg, purple onion, and green onions. The broth looks very rich, but it actually tastes quite mild, like drinking salty hojicha. I didn't quite figure it out even after finishing the whole bowl, but a friend said it tastes like corn chowder. Maybe it's the hojicha combined with chicken white broth that gives it a creamy flavor!
The shop also provides a plum, which you can add halfway through, resulting in a slight change in the broth, but I didn't find it significantly beneficial. The chicken chashu has a strong tea flavor that bursts when you bite into it, and the meat quality is good, but I prefer the pork chashu – it's not too thick or too thin and has a wonderful aroma from being grilled; one piece just isn't enough! The wontons are average.
I strongly recommend enjoying it with green onion and purple onion to balance the richness!
Shan Chen Oolong Soy Sauce Clear Broth - $280
Contents include: 2 pieces of chicken chashu, 2 pieces of cherry duck breast, 2 wontons, half a soft-boiled egg, mushrooms, perilla leaves, purple onion, and green onion. Personally, I felt the broth had a herbal taste for some reason—maybe this is a chemical reaction of oolong tea and soy sauce? Overall, I didn't like it much and stopped after a few sips.
The cherry duck breast was standard, nothing particularly stunning, and the other ingredients were the same as the first bowl.
Comparing these two bowls, I preferred the Hojicha Chicken White Broth, but honestly, they were probably at 70 points and 60 points respectively. Neither was exceptionally delicious or a ramen that I'd want to have again together.
Cha Wu Chashu Rice - $70
This dish features a mix of chicken and pork chashu, grilled and drizzled with mayonnaise and soy sauce, which is quite indulgent and tastes great. However, I feel the rice cooking can be improved, as some parts were a bit hard; it might also be because there wasn't enough soy sauce drizzle, making the bottom layer slightly dry.
Overall, the meal performance was average, but since it's close to home and the queue system is friendly, I would be willing to visit again to try another type of noodle I haven't had yet.
[New Taipei City, Banqiao] Yi Zhi Yi Japanese Hot Pot
Yi Zhi Yi's decor features an elegant design style. The seating is more spacious and comfortable than typical hot pot restaurants. There are various drinks available on both the first and second floors, and they regularly change the flavors of Japanese soft serve ice cream, along with providing snacks and fruits.
You can taste the high quality of the ingredients, and you can see that the meats are freshly cut from whole pieces.
The broth is the most important essence of a hot pot restaurant. A good broth can bring out the freshness of the ingredients (some are definitely worth recommending). This place follows the individual pot format; I recommend ordering the signature dual-flavor pot✨. Even if you dine alone, you can enjoy two types of broth at once!
All set meals come with a fresh vegetable platter and a staple food. The vegetable platter includes up to 15 types of ingredients—nutritionally balanced and fewer hot pot items! You can choose one staple from six options: vermicelli, Prince noodles, rice, or egg (wide vermicelli and Sanuki udon noodles for an additional $15).
🌟 Current promotion: Spend $600 on an individual set meal and receive a complimentary shrimp.
✨ Personal recommendation: Signature dual-flavor pot +$149✨ Choose 2 from the following 7 broth options:
“Japanese-style Kombu” Free: Made primarily from kombu, this basic broth has a natural sweetness.
“Spicy Mala” +$129✨ A drinkable spicy broth cooked with natural ingredients; you won't feel particularly thirsty afterwards. The broth features high-quality duck blood and flavorful white radish, perfect for dipping beef, squid paste, beef balls, etc.
“Cheese Milk” +$80✨ One of my favorites💕. No matter how long you cook it, it won't separate oil and water. Please, use it to cook udon noodles🤩. Comes with one slice of cheese🧀—I recommend putting half in the pot and mixing half into the udon noodles👍🏻. It’s great for cooking white meat, vegetables, taro, pumpkin, and egg dumplings.
“Aromatic Stone” +$60✨ A flavor loved by the older generation. After stir-frying, add the broth. Be sure to start with a bowl of clear soup before adding wide vermicelli, mushrooms, and the vegetable platter to boil.
“Health Vegetarian” +$40, “Tomato Flavor” +$60, “Japanese Sukiyaki” +$80.
American Ribeye Set✨ $490 (a la carte), $619 (set meal)
Each slice is longer than a face! Made from whole cuts, freshly ordered and sliced—will not bleed water even if left out. Recommended to be cooked medium-rare.
Top-grade Matsusaka Pork Set✨ $360 (a la carte), $489 (set meal)
I love Matsusaka pork—moderate marbling provides a slightly crunchy elasticity and fresh sweetness. Recommended to be cooked in milk broth for best taste!
American Boneless Short Rib✨ $650 (a la carte), $779 (set meal)
Short ribs are a classic and unbeatable cut—tender and aromatic, perfect for ordering a portion to share.
Mixed Seafood Platter✨ $360 (a la carte), $489 (set meal)
Contains abalone, clams, shrimp, and fish fillets. Both the abalone and shrimp are very firm! The clams are plump and juicy.
Beef Balls✨ $60
Hidden dish that you must try (only available for online ordering). They are very solid and springy; be sure not to take a big bite, as they contain a lot of broth that can be hot...
Squid Paste✨ $60
Chewier than regular squid paste, with chunks of squid still visible.
Mixed Broth✨ $50
If you don’t order the spicy broth but want to enjoy duck blood and white radish, I recommend ordering this directly! No need to worry about it lacking flavor; even the white radish will absorb the broth’s essence.
板豆腐 (Flat Tofu) $30
蛋餃 (Egg Dumplings) $50

MADE Taipei is located at the intersection of Section 4, Zhongxiao East Road and Section 1, Da'an Road, near the bustling East District shopping area. The store is on the second floor, and the silver sign at the first-floor entrance is quite eye-catching.
Although we came to a bar, for various reasons, it wasn't suitable to drink today. So, we only ordered pan-seared cherry duck breast, private house braised appetizer platter, crispy ten-spice chicken feet, Korean cheese steamed egg, and Tsingtao beer, totaling about NT$1,400. There were actually some other dishes, but for various reasons... anyway, that's that 🥹. The minimum spending at the store is actually NT$600 per person.
Pan-Seared Cherry Duck Breast: The duck breast has a lovely pink color and a delicate texture, with the duck skin, duck fat, and dipping sauce all complementing each other perfectly, allowing the rich aroma of duck meat fat to linger in the mouth. The salad was quite standard.
Private House Braised Appetizer Platter: This is ordinary but delicious braised food. The price of NT$260 is due to it being a bar, and it is indeed tasty, though the price is quite high. The more memorable items were the "tofu, baby corn, and beef," all well-braised and flavorful.
Crispy Ten-Spice Chicken Feet: Fried foods are always best eaten hot. The crispy thin skin is sprinkled with chili flakes and garlic bits, adding spiciness. The boneless chicken feet are easy to eat without any burden. I really liked this dish.
Korean Cheese Steamed Egg: The cheese flavor makes the steamed egg rich and smooth, and the topping of shrimp roe adds a luxurious touch. Enjoying the steamed egg with shrimp roe creates a delightful symphony of two completely different textures in the mouth.
Tsingtao Beer: The dried lemon slices provide a refreshingly crisp taste, helping to reset the palate while enjoying these rich-flavored dishes at the bar.
Overall, it’s a bar with quite good culinary standards. The store on the second floor feels a bit crowded; the space isn't very spacious, and the music is somewhat loud, leaning more towards the lively atmosphere of a Friday night.
I recommend it to everyone!
🔅Actual visit date: 2024/11/01

My friend has tried this series (Heikagoya Honke) and thought it was great, so this year they brought me here for my birthday meal. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the Breeze Taipei Station, featuring a bar-like area and a seating area for four; it's not a large restaurant. Here are the dishes we had that day.
▪️Hot pot: Shabu-shabu
▪️Meat: Premium Japanese Wagyu Standard $1180 (165g)
·My friend used points to upgrade to large (220g) $1370
·Rice from Niigata Prefecture, Japan Standard
·Includes chef's special handmade beef balls
·Seasonal vegetable platter ·Special sauce
▪️Additional premium Japanese Wagyu 110g at an extra price of $488
(Promotion until 2024.11.30)
▪️Points redeemed for 2 Hokkaido scallops
·Original price: $90 each
▪️Egg zousui $80
▪️Peach umeshu $150/glass
I must say, the premium Japanese Wagyu served was truly beautiful! It had rich marbling, tender meat, and was delicious with sauce and white rice! The additional premium Japanese Wagyu came in four large slices, exceptionally rich in fat; one slice was more than enough, but it was also quite good. We also ordered some Japanese Wagyu (I forget the price) that looked and tasted quite different from the premium option, though it was still tasty. My friend ordered Sukiyaki, but I didn’t get to try it.
The Japanese white rice was very tasty, and the vegetable platter was abundant and made up of whole foods, while the beef balls were also good. My friend redeemed their points for sashimi-grade scallops, which were quite large and cooked perfectly medium-rare. There were many types of sauces, including yuzu soy sauce, black sesame, sesame sauce, and spicy sauce, all of which went well with vegetables and meat. I asked the staff about making porridge, and they said to order egg zousui; in the end, the staff came to cook it for us. The umeshu was also quite good.
Overall, while I can't eat too much Wagyu, my portion was too much for one person to finish alone; however, the quality of the meat was really outstanding. There weren’t many servers, so sometimes it was hard to find someone, but the service was very friendly. The process of using points for extras was a bit cumbersome, but if you want to enjoy Wagyu, I definitely recommend this place.
Overall Rating: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
Dickson's Fooday Mouth-watering Review #262
This visit was to one of Taipei's top Japanese premium yakiniku restaurants!
I think everyone must have heard of this place, Bahe Wagyu Yakiniku!
This place is often featured by bloggers on Instagram
and I have always wanted to visit and try it out.
Finally, I had the opportunity to eat here.
It truly lives up to its reputation!
Whether it's the food, atmosphere, or service, everything is top-notch~~~
After this visit,
I can only say that it is currently among my top few Japanese yakiniku restaurants in Taipei.
I personally highly recommend it!
You should definitely come here to try it once.
Moreover, the overall price is not excessively high.
Among the many top-quality Japanese yakiniku places, I think the cost-performance ratio is quite high!
Although its prices are indeed not cheap,
I believe it's worth it!
I highly recommend you definitely come and eat here.
I'll definitely be coming back again myself!
This restaurant offers a wide variety of menu items,
and the menu planning is quite exquisite.
Different cuts of meat are categorized,
so if you're unsure of what to order, you can opt for a set menu.
The set menu essentially covers all the types of meat well,
making it quite suitable for friends dining here for the first time.
Of course, there are also various a la carte meat options available.
If you know what you particularly like to eat,
you can immediately choose that cut to add to your order~~
Additionally, some items on the menu are limited edition,
so you can inquire with the staff on the day of your visit to place your order!
I can only say that the quality of the yakiniku here is outstanding.
This is surely also due to the excellent grilling skills of the staff.
The grilling is handled entirely by the staff,
and when ordering,
they will carefully ask you about your desired level of doneness
and will customize it to your taste.
Whether you prefer it rarer or more cooked,
they can cater to your needs~~
So I believe that the deliciousness of this yakiniku
partly stems from the staff's professional grilling skills!
This significantly enhances the overall quality of the yakiniku~~
Of course, aside from the basic yakiniku,
there are also other drinks and such to choose from.
Both soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are available here~
However, since I wasn’t planning to drink on that day,
I didn’t order any alcohol to try out.
Also, if you get the chance to visit and eat yakiniku here,
do not forget to order dessert when ordering!
The restaurant even humorously refers to itself in the menu as a dessert shop that was delayed by being a yakiniku shop.
So no matter what, you must try their Basque cheesecake!
This cheesecake is truly amazing!
Definitely worth ordering one to eat.
Saying more is useless! You should just order one yourself.
Their desserts are super awesome~~~

⭐️ Food Section
Although it was my first visit here,
after looking at the set menu,
comparing it with other a la carte items,
I ultimately decided to stick with a la carte.
This was mainly because there were parts of the set menu that I didn’t particularly love,
as the set included items like salad,
and I prefer meat.
I wasn’t too interested in the salad,
so I decided to order a la carte for the meat!
👉 A5 Omi Wagyu: Chunk Cuts $1080
👉 A5 Omi Wagyu: Lean Cuts $780
👉 A5 Omi Wagyu: Marbled Cuts $1250
👉 Australian Wagyu: Diaphragm $680
This time, I ordered quite a lot of meat cuts,
and every type was exceptionally delicious.
Moreover, when the dishes were served,
the staff clearly labeled the cuts of meat.
Before grilling,
the staff also carefully asked about the desired doneness and how to season it.
With their professional techniques,
I found all the meats and yakiniku to be quite delicious!
Regarding the portions,
I felt they were quite satisfactory.
I didn’t feel that any portion was too small,
although, of course, I selfishly wish for more! 😂😂😂
I think the quality of the yakiniku here is truly excellent!
Each cut has its own unique flavor and grilling sensation~
I hope to order other different cuts next time for new tastes!
👉 Salted Onion Beef Tongue $480
👉 Limited Thick Cut Beef Tongue $1050
As for the beef tongue,
I ordered the basic version of salted onion beef tongue,
along with the limited thick-cut beef tongue.
The basic salted onion beef tongue flavor is already quite good~
It resembles the thin beef tongue we would typically find in yakiniku restaurants topped with some salted onions and such.
I feel it is quite delicious when grilled.
The thinly sliced beef tongue isn’t too rare or too cooked,
and the added salted onions enhance the flavor perfectly.
The limited thick-cut beef tongue definitely lives up to its name.
The texture of the thick cut is entirely different from the thin beef tongue mentioned before.
Thick cuts provide that tender toughness feel.
I personally highly recommend that you definitely order this limited thick-cut beef tongue!
The overall texture and flavor are truly impressive!
I strongly recommend it!
👉 Truffle Beef Tartare $480
This beef tartare is also one of the specialty dishes here.
When served, you can see
it’s garnished with lots of truffles and white cotton candy powder.
It looks quite appealing,
and the raw beef portion is extremely tasty.
The overall flavor combined with the truffles and cotton candy powder
has a strong beef essence to it,
giving you the feeling of pure beef as soon as you take a bite.
I personally also highly recommend this special dish!
Everyone should give it a try!
👉 Japanese Sea Urchin Wagyu Sushi $320
The sushi here is more standard,
similar to the sea urchin sushi found in various specialized Japanese restaurants.
This sushi contains a slice of wagyu and some sea urchin.
Overall, the taste is quite pleasant,
but since other items are more eye-catching,
I feel the sushi here isn’t necessarily a must-order option.
👉 Plain Basque Cheesecake $760
As mentioned before,
even the restaurant itself states in the menu
that it is a dessert shop that was delayed by being a yakiniku shop.
When researching online,
many have noted that the Basque cheesecake here is a must-order.
As it turns out, everyone was right!!
The Basque cheesecake here comes in several flavors.
On that day, I tried the plain Basque.
A portion is pretty large,
so you don’t necessarily need to finish the whole cake there.
If you can’t finish it, you can ask the restaurant to pack the leftovers to take home.
Even if you eat half,
the overall packaging and box are exquisite
and it comes with special utensils.
This level of service is truly impressive.
Now, back to the Basque cheesecake itself.
I finally understand why it’s said to be a dessert shop delayed by a yakiniku restaurant,
because their Basque dessert is truly fantastic!
It’s probably the most creamy and delicious Basque I’ve had so far~~~
You really can’t miss out on this!
Is it too much to bring back a few more boxes?!
👉 Bahe Golden Charcoal Grill $620
Golden charcoal grill is another specialty dish here.
It consists of a small bowl of rice topped with a piece of wagyu
and served with a raw egg yolk,
which you mix together to create a perfect grilled meat rice bowl.
Although it may sound simple,
when everything is mixed together, it tastes amazing!
One downside is that the portion is quite small,
but it’s very worth it in terms of flavor!!
While they also offer rice as a starch option,
it still lacks something to serve as the main dish for the meal.
I personally think it feels more like a small appetizer or a specialty dish to enjoy halfway through the meal!
This dish is also one I highly recommend you give a try.
After all, both the presentation of the food and the texture are quite unique and impressive~
👉 Wagyu Beef Soup $260
The beef soup section is rather standard and ordinary,
but the combination of the raw beef with the added broth
is quite light and delicious~
For those who might be tired of meat,
you can order a bowl of soup to balance things out~
In terms of overall food performance,
I think it's quite good.
From the basic Japanese yakiniku,
the handling of various cuts of meat is very well done.
Eating it is a joyful and happy experience.
Additionally, other specialty items,
both in presentation and taste,
are quite remarkable.
To top it off, the Basque dessert provides
a perfect end to the entire meal!
Desserts are truly fantastic~
Thus, I think it's very worthwhile to enjoy the food here!
It definitely leaves room for another visit!
⭐️ Atmosphere Section
The restaurant's decor is very tasteful and elegant,
from the outside to the inside.
The indoor space is also quite spacious,
with table seating areas and a bar area.
Regarding the seating arrangement for Japanese yakiniku,
I believe it's a personal preference.
If you choose to sit at the front bar area,
you can see various staff handling the grilling of meats
and you can easily express your needs during the interaction.
If you opt for seating in larger group areas,
it would surely be more spacious and comfortable.
However, it seems these areas are often designated for larger gatherings.
On that day, I observed that
if two people dine, they usually get seated at the front bar area,
while groups of four or more are typically placed in the back at tables.
Overall, regardless of which area you sit in,
it won’t affect the quality of service here,
and because the overall space is quite expansive,
the dining experience is also quite enjoyable!
Even seated in the bar area,
the proximity to where food is prepared doesn’t make you feel overwhelmed by the smells or overly hot,
so there's no need to worry about any special differences!
Overall, I feel the environment and atmosphere are quite suitable for friends’ gatherings, family meals,
or for two people enjoying a nice dinner and celebrating special occasions.
⭐️ Service Section
As mentioned earlier,
I feel that the deliciousness of the yakiniku is partly due to the grilling skills of the staff here.
Each staff member appears well-trained
and strives to meet each customer’s needs.
For example, one of the friends I dined with is allergic to certain flavors,
so the staff may initially be unaware of this until the first dish was served.
Upon discovering the issue, they responded positively and proactively, taking back the dish
to make adjustments.
They also remembered our requests,
asking us again before grilling if there was anything we particularly wanted to avoid eating.
Additionally, because one friend had a habit of cutting the meat into smaller pieces,
the staff, once informed, provided extra service by cutting the meat to the requested sizes.
Thus, I feel the service aspect is quite commendable.
The staff accommodates each customer's specific needs
with thoughtful arrangements and handling!
This attention to detail is very considerate.
Also, when each different meat type is served,
the staff provides detailed descriptions of its characteristics and cooking methods.
So, on the whole, I feel very welcome regarding the overall service.
It truly adds to the experience!
⭐️ Price Section
While this restaurant is also among the priciest Japanese yakiniku places in Taipei,
I still feel it is worth it overall.
The prices are certainly on the higher side,
but based on the overall food, service, and performance,
I feel paying this price is quite justified!
And it’s not excessively expensive~
I think it can definitely be included on your wish list for celebrating various special occasions or anniversaries.
Currently, Taipei has numerous high-priced Japanese yakiniku restaurants,
but some are just expensive without providing true luxury.
Bahe Wagyu is, in my opinion, a premium yakiniku restaurant that is high-priced yet of high quality!
⭐️ Overall Summary
After this visit,
I can understand why so many people recommend Bahe Wagyu Yakiniku.
Its overall performance is truly noteworthy.
Aside from delicious various types of grilled meat,
the service overall is very welcoming.
Plus, their desserts are genuinely amazing.
I think everyone must come and try this out!
I will definitely visit again.
After all, there aren't many truly delicious high-end Japanese yakiniku restaurants,
and if we’re paying premium prices, we deserve to eat well!
I recommend this place to everyone!
There are many restaurants around the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, offering a rich selection of delicious food. Today, we want to introduce a special Cantonese restaurant – "Di Tang Zi Chinese Dim Sum Specialty Store." The head chef, Master Ye, has extensive experience, having traveled to Singapore, South Korea, China, and Hong Kong for training, and has worked in several well-known restaurants, including the Michelin-rated Li Yuan Restaurant...
✅ Di Tang Zi Small Soup Dumplings: One basket contains seven small dumplings. The dumpling skin is thin, and when you bite in, the soup flows out, while the filling is full of meaty flavor. Paired with the sauce provided by the restaurant, the taste becomes even richer.
✅ Garlic Stir-Fried Water Spinach: This simple cooking method allows the water spinach to be infused with garlic aroma, and the seasoning is perfectly salty. The water spinach is also very fresh and crunchy. However, the portion is a bit small.
✅ Yellow Chive and Fresh Shrimp Rice Noodle Rolls: A set includes three rice noodle rolls, with each roll containing three fresh shrimp. The rice noodle skin has a certain thickness but is still very chewy. Eating it with the restaurant's homemade sauce makes it incredibly appetizing.
✅ Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice Chicken: Inside, it is wrapped with pork, egg yolk, and other ingredients. The sticky rice is filled with the fragrance of the lotus leaf, and each bite allows you to fully taste the freshness of each ingredient.
✅ Layered Radish Cake: The outer layer is crispy, and the sauce inside tastes thick like a starch thickener, but it is very smooth, allowing you to taste the texture of the radish shreds.
✅ Central District Bamboo Charcoal Flowing Sand Bun: The skin of the flowing sand bun is very thick, yet the filling is also very rich. The filling offers two textures: one is solid, and the other is a flowing sand bursting sensation.
✅ Hot and Sour Soup: The hot and sour soup is rich in ingredients, including carrots, black fungus, tofu, etc. However, it is not too sour or too spicy, and you can adjust the seasoning to your taste with the condiments provided.
✅ Silk Stocking Milk Tea: A generally smooth and delicious silk stocking milk tea with a strong tea flavor.
—————————————
The environment inside the restaurant is quite spacious, but the distance between seats is a bit cramped. The quality and taste of the food here are excellent, and every dish is highly recommended. However, due to the made-to-order nature of the meals, the serving speed is quite slow. Therefore, it is not advised for those in a hurry to dine here.
*Minimum spend of 110 NTD per person
*Spend over 1000 NTD in a single transaction to receive a 100 NTD discount voucher
*Dining time during weekends is 1.5 hours
*Only one VIP table for dogs is available, and it must be reserved in advance.
Braces Person Review: Clean Independent Restroom Recommended
During this trip to Japan, to make up for the regrets from my last visit, my friend and I specially lined up to dine at the restaurant as soon as it opened. This place is quite popular and there’s usually a long wait during meal times; in fact, some dishes even sell out early, so arriving early was definitely a wise choice. This time we ordered the following dishes:
Shrimp & Dill Cream Sauce Pasta (¥1210)
This creamy pasta paired with shrimp and dill is simply perfect, with a fragrant aroma. The noodles are chewy and well-coated with sauce, and when paired with the accompanying bread, each bite is rich and satisfying.
Fruits Fruits Mille Crepe (¥2076)
This mille crepe features strawberries, oranges, kiwis, mangoes, and bananas. Each layer of fruit offers a delightful balance of sweet and sour flavors, and the whipped cream is perfectly proportioned, not overwhelming. The fruits are fresh and juicy, making each bite a delightful surprise, especially for fruit lovers.
Shine Muscat Mille Crepe (¥2178)
The natural sweetness of Shine Muscat grapes permeates each layer of crepe, accompanied by light whipped cream, providing a refreshing and not overly sweet experience. The grape aroma and sweetness blend perfectly, making this mille crepe a dream choice for dessert lovers.
Beverages
The coffee latte and English milk tea that accompany the meals, although standard in performance, fit well with the strong contrast between the main dishes and desserts, serving as a nice buffer during the meal.
Overall, the meal cost a total of 5599 yen. The exquisite dishes, paired with a comfortable atmosphere, made the overall experience quite worthwhile. Especially the mille crepe, whether it's the grape or the fruit version, leaves a lasting impression. Next time I come to Japan, this restaurant will definitely be on my must-visit list again!
Winter hasn't arrived yet, but we're already starting to eat lamb hotpot. 🔥 Although the weather recently makes you sweat while eating, I can't wait until winter. :D This lamb hotpot place is mostly frequented by returning customers, and our family visits often as well. It's located on a small road near Qingquangang Airport. People generally find out about it through word of mouth or online, as it's not an easy place to just pass by or discover casually.
The venue is very large, accommodating several hundred people without a problem. The large front plaza is used to support the current number of visitors, with about a third of it set up with tables, and the rest allocated for customer parking.
After seating, the owner serves peanuts, so you're not bored while waiting for your food. Utensils and sauces are self-serve. I've tried lamb hotpot from a chain brand before; although it was fragrant and tasty, it was extremely oily. This restaurant’s broth is rich but relatively refreshing, without a heavy feeling. However, it's not the charcoal type of barbecue; they use tabletop gas stoves.
This time, the two of us ordered a small lamb hotpot, which already includes large chunks of lamb, plenty of base vegetables, and hotpot ingredients. You don't really need to add many extras, and with just this pot, the two of us were able to eat for three meals. 😹 You can tell how cost-effective it is!
Their lamb deserves special praise; it's meaty with fewer bones, not dry or tough, and separates from the bone easily with a slight bite. The skin is quite bouncy and tender, making it our favorite lamb so far. We also recommend adding sliced lamb to cook, which remains tasty even after a long time in the pot, and some vermicelli. Hotpot ingredients and vegetables are self-serve and priced per plate.
Additionally, there are nearly 60 kinds of stir-fried dishes here, offering a diverse selection, whether it's land or sea creatures. 😝 Overall, it's highly recommended. Winter is coming, so everyone can start getting ready. 🏃♀️
✐ Small Lamb Hotpot (for two) $600
✐ Sliced Lamb (half a pound) $200
✐ Vermicelli (for one) $40

I really like this menu-free café, where there's no time limit, it has power outlets, and is open until midnight! A friend highly recommended the stewed milk tea here, and I became a regular after just one visit.
To briefly explain the menu-free aspect, you just tell the owner what you want to drink, and if they have the ingredients, they'll make it for you. If you don't know what to drink, the owner will patiently guide you or offer suggestions!
This time I ordered the stewed milk tea and iced siphon coffee!
☕️ Stewed milk tea: It uses fresh milk stewed for more than five hours, with a strong and rich milky aroma, giving a very thick milk tea feeling! You can also freely choose between Assam or Earl Grey tea base; I chose the Assam tea base this time.
☕️ Iced siphon coffee: I initially asked the owner if they had pour-over coffee, but only siphon was available. You can also choose the beans according to your taste; I wanted a slightly acidic fruity flavor this time, and indeed got the taste I was expecting. It was great!
I also saw others ordering ginger tea, floral tea, and even saw the owner cracking eggs to make egg nectar! 😂 There were reviews mentioning they also have high mountain tea, so you really have a chance to drink whatever you want (a high chance, the owner has lots of ingredients).
Stewed milk tea is probably the most expensive drink at $350, while other drinks are about $250. You can stay as long as you want! The most special thing is that since the shop doesn't offer savory food, only Basque and pound cakes, you can bring your own food or order delivery!!
I really love this place. It's quiet and comfortable inside, and many people come to study and work. The environment is retro and spacious. After dinner that day, I stayed until almost midnight! Highly recommended to Foo friends💖
