Dickson's Fooday food review is updated!
Although it's full of chatter, the content is definitely heartfelt 🥺
This time, I'm reviewing a Japanese BBQ restaurant～～～
This restaurant is right next to the Zhongxiao Dunhua MRT Station.
The location is quite great, and the transportation is convenient 👍👍👍
From the entrance, the ambiance clearly reflects the concept of a Japanese BBQ.
The presentation of the grilled meat is very delicate and suitable for photos.
Though the portions are small, they are arranged very beautifully.
Additionally, the prices are moderate; not too expensive.
That day, I ordered a $1980 set with friends,
which included a beef platter, salted beef offal,
as well as a seafood platter and dessert.
Overall, the quantity isn’t especially abundant, but it's still sufficient to fill you up!
However, the quality of the meat and the dishes is average,
more like a casual BBQ restaurant –
there's nothing particularly memorable about it 🥺🥺🥺
It's somewhat hard to feel motivated to visit again,
giving off a bit of a one-time consumer vibe.
The advantage is probably the convenient transportation in the East District.
Making reservations is easy, so when you have no ideas and just want to grab a bite,
this place is a relaxed option!

🤪🤪 Dickson's Chat 🤪🤪
Oh dear, if you’re tired of wandering the East District streets,
and you and your girl want to have some BBQ,
but you’re too lazy to spend time searching,
come here! 👋👋👋👋
With online reservations, just pull out your phone –
easily choose a time and you can come for BBQ!
The girls will definitely find it super convenient
to have a BBQ place at their fingertips!
And in the East District,
whether you want to stroll around little shops with the girlfriend,
grab some afternoon tea, or watch a movie,
you can first make a reservation for an evening BBQ to enjoy some meat.
Eat meat ~ and after eating meat, gain some meat!
As for where to go after dinner, the allure of the Xinyi area in the East District, do you still not know where to go?
The girls all want to club!
Whether to shift venues for a drink or just hang out doing something,
there are unlimited possibilities 🤫🤫🤫
Jiū Hào Kè BBQ
Located on the 3rd floor of Jiū Jiān BBQ Set Meal
The 2nd floor is for 㖂 Nǎi Seafood Hotpot
At first, I couldn't find where to go upstairs
Just bravely walk into Jiū Jiān BBQ Set Meal
After confirming the reservation with the staff on the 1st floor, they will ask you to take the stairs to the 3rd floor
Today, I opted for the 758 plan
The few things worth praising are the desserts and the drinks at the self-service bar
The drinks are in cans or foil packs
The cotton candy is roasted cotton candy, the white kind!
Not the colorful kind (seeing colorful roasted cotton candy makes me angry 😡)
It’s rare to find a place that offers takoyaki, so I was curious and ordered it
When it arrived, it was cold, so it had been reheated
Not sure if it was originally cold or just had been sitting too long
The clam soup was decent, but the wooden tray at the bottom takes up a lot of space
The quality of the meat is average, not memorable
The oysters tasted relatively fresh
When I went, it wasn’t a meal period, and there were only 2 tables of customers
The staff often gathered together to chat
You need to walk over to find them
However, they were quick to replace the grill and serve dishes
But the staff training might not be very good
At first, we thought the fire was too low
The first staff member said it was turned up to the maximum
After a while, when there was no improvement, we called another staff member who said it hadn't been adjusted
After readjustment, it was normal
I may have gotten past the all-you-can-eat phase
At the same price, I would prefer to go to a place where you can order individually.
A-Tong Northern Japanese Beef BBQ
Located at the intersection of Guangfu Road and Ciyun Road
Cars can park under the nearby overpass
Motorcycles can find nearby alleys or parking spaces
But I personally feel that parking spaces can be a bit tricky to find
Cabbage soup, white rice, and drinks can be refilled infinitely
If you want to eat meat and vegetables, this is the place to come!
The side dishes may have slight variations
This time there were zucchini, king oyster mushrooms, and sausages
If you order pork, they will give you butter
So the meat will have a buttery aroma!
The staff introduces the menu very thoroughly
Whenever the meat arrives, they will ask if you need a demonstration
The teaching is very attentive
When we went, there were fewer customers
If you want to refill anything, it will come out very quickly!
Oh! Yaki Fine Barbecue
This time we gathered at "Oh! Yaki Fine Barbecue." I've been here a few times; it's essentially an all-you-can-eat barbecue restaurant with three different price tiers for the set menus. This time we chose the menu priced at 699 NT per person. The ordering method is through scanning the QR code on the table, and the higher-priced sets include all the items from the lower-priced sets. The restaurant also offers free beverages, ice cream, and a self-service sauce area.
🍖 Recommended Dishes
One standout dish was the spicy stuffed pork roll; the crispy skin of the pepper paired well with the fattiness of the pork. If you can handle a bit of spice, I highly recommend it.
Additionally, the salt and pepper intestines were impressive; they were well-prepared, with no unpleasant odor and great flavor.
Other recommended dishes include the marinated spicy beef, salt and pepper chicken cartilage, Korean thick-cut pork belly, and Japanese miso pork ribs. The flavors of these dishes are all above average and worth trying.
❌ Not Recommended Dishes
We also tried the 16oz tender shoulder steak, but I wouldn't recommend it. Given that the steak is quite large and thick, it was hard to control the cooking time when grilling it ourselves, resulting in a less than satisfactory texture that was a bit challenging to chew.
Moreover, the sauced lamb ribs are not highly recommended either, as they have a strong gamey taste and the meat is a bit tough, making them less satisfying overall.
🏠 Dining Environment
We dined on a Saturday afternoon; even though we had a reservation, there were still some available seats at the restaurant. Even after the last order time, the staff didn’t rush us, making it perfect for gathering with friends and chatting.
📝 Overall Evaluation
The overall dining experience at "Oh! Yaki Fine Barbecue" was quite good, especially with standout dishes like the spicy pork roll and salt and pepper intestines. However, it’s advisable to think twice when ordering larger cuts like steak and lamb ribs. The restaurant's atmosphere is suitable for gatherings and casual conversations, making it a great spot for a relaxed get-together.
🎖️ Kang Ho Dong Baekjeong BBQ 🎖️
This day, I went with colleagues to a highly-rated Korean BBQ restaurant, and I was mentally prepared to indulge myself. As soon as I entered, I could smell the mingling aromas of charcoal and meat, and I was instantly tempted and felt hunger pangs. Then, I had a classmate who firmly believed that Korean BBQ is all about the condiments... I thought, "Not really..."
We ordered the most classic pork belly, and when it arrived at the table, I could see the perfect marbling. The meat slices were covered with a marble-like fat texture, looking like a piece of art about to dance on the grill. After placing the pork belly on the grill, with the sizzling sound rising, the fat gradually melted, releasing a rich aroma that was simply irresistible! Each piece of pork belly was grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, paired with garlic slices, onions, and Korean dipping sauces, creating a rich, layered taste that shot my happiness levels through the roof. Oh oh oh!
On the side of the grill, there was also a layer of egg mixture and cheese. As the temperature rose, the egg gradually solidified into a golden, tender baked egg. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I could keep refilling it, so refreshing!
However, just when we were happily eating, suddenly! The restaurant fell into complete darkness. The power went out! All the lights in the restaurant went off, and amid the chaos, I saw the staff immediately pull out flashlights without any change in their expressions and continued grilling meat at our table. Their dedication was truly admirable; they truly deserved to be known as "Shenzhen’s hardworking staff."
Under the dim light of the flashlights, we continued to enjoy this hard-earned delicious meal, as if the taste of the BBQ became even more unique. Although the power outage added some unexpected twists to the dining experience, it also gave me greater respect for the service attitude of this restaurant. With such dedicated staff and delicious Korean BBQ, this is definitely a place worth revisiting!
Ultra-affordable grilled meat lunch sets! You can enjoy Wagyu for under 2000 yen, and the side dishes and rice are extremely generous!
This grill restaurant, located near the exit of Sangenjaya Station, is in the basement and has often been recommended online for lunch. I've frequently seen people lining up during lunchtime, but they only allow consumption for groups of two or more. Finally, I had the chance to visit with a colleague!
Upon entering the restaurant, I was unexpectedly struck by how quiet it was. It didn't have the bustling feel typical of most grill places. Although there were other customers, everyone spoke softly and enjoyed their grilled meat quietly. 😂
When I opened the menu, I discovered that the lunch sets were incredibly cheap, which explained the need to line up. Many sets were priced below 2000 yen, and some even offered options for Wagyu and beef tongue!
We ordered:
C. Green onion and salt beef tongue + diaphragm set meal
E. Black-haired Wagyu set meal
Although the meat portion was about five slices, the rice was served in a large bowl and was delicious. There were also plenty of side dishes, and the soup had a big clam in it—overall, it felt healthy and balanced without being heavy!
During dinner time, I noticed that the set meals were around 5000 yen, which had more of an à la carte feel in terms of pricing. However, lunch is just too much of a bargain, and I highly recommend it!
When settling the bill, I also saw that there were several other branches, as well as a specialty hamburger steak shop, all along the Den-en-toshi Line. The hamburger steak even has a ready-to-cook package available, and I'd love to try it if I get the chance!

Dikson's Fooday review update from Hualien!
This time, a local friend brought us to this place, which is said to be a very famous Japanese skewer restaurant in Hualien.
That night, my friends and I spontaneously decided to have skewers for dinner. 🤣
As expected, it did not disappoint! We had to wait for about an hour for our turn!
Fortunately, there was a seating area outside for guests waiting, which made it a bit more comfortable.
After the long wait, I thought to myself, how good can it be to warrant a one-hour wait?
But in the end, it was truly worth it! ~👍👍👍

From the entrance, there’s already a traditional Japanese izakaya vibe.
The interior lighting, arrangement, bar, and seating area are all well distributed.
Inside, there are general seating areas as well as private booth-like sections.
The booth area requires you to take off your shoes.
If you’re not very flexible, it might be a bit challenging to sit comfortably! After all, sitting cross-legged while eating isn’t that easy, right? 🥺
The environment is quite pleasant and spacious.
The distance between tables in the booth area is large, so there’s no feeling of being cramped.
The food is absolutely fantastic!
Regardless of whether it’s chicken, pork, or beef skewers, everything is delicious.
The restaurant's specialty is a variety of combinations featuring spicy peeled chili peppers!
The skewers with peeled chili peppers have a wonderful texture.
They are not extremely spicy, but they give you a brand-new experience!
And the peeled chili pepper soup is exceptionally delicious – it has a unique flavor that makes you want to take bite after bite.
So we ordered more pork skewers with peeled chili peppers and even another round of soup!
Dear viewers,
If you come to Hualien, you must eat here if you get the chance!
It’s perfect for a late-night snack with a few friends, having some drinks, then heading back to your accommodation for more fun.
Moreover, the overall cost is very reasonable.
After all, once you leave the "Heavenly Dragon Country," everything becomes much more reasonable! 😮💨😮💨
🤪🤪 Dikson’s Review 🤪🤪
Are you distressed about what to do for nightlife in Hualien with the girls? ~😧
No worries! If you want to drink, this is the place to be!!! 😍
Pair a couple of skewers with some late-night snacks
and a refreshing plum wine or sake.
Doesn't it immediately feel like nightlife?!!!
Plus, the overall decoration is very appealing.
The spicy peeled chili pepper series stimulates your taste buds,
and in the booth, singing with the girls, eating skewers, and drinking,
it's just pure bliss! ~
When in Hualien, of course, you should take the girl to this unique restaurant!
A few good drinks of plum wine and sake down,
you'll happily head back to the hotel.
Isn’t it just awesome?!! 😍😍😍😍
This is a Korean restaurant that offers both deliciousness and nutrition. It's located right next to Park No. 4, and once you try it, you'll become a regular customer! The prices are affordable, and the portions are quite generous! Plus, the amount of vegetables is noticeably more than that of other similar Korean restaurants. So far, everything I've tried has been great; it's really impressive!
🇰🇷 Kimchi Seafood Pancake
This is the best seafood pancake I've ever had! It's made with real ingredients, and there's a generous amount of kimchi and seafood filling. It's extremely flavorful and delicious! I always have to order this dish every time I visit.
🐷 Vegetable Pork Bibimbap
The amount of vegetables is huge! The portion size is also very large. One serving is definitely enough to fill you up XD.
🍚 Stone Pot Chicken Bibimbap
I added cheese to it. After mixing it evenly, it tastes really good! My friend also thinks it's great. We ended up finishing two small bowls XD.
🍖 Copper Plate Grilled Pork
I didn't expect that the grilled pork on a copper plate would also come with some vegetables and enoki mushrooms. It's really tasty! After cooking, there will be some broth left, which is quite oily and a bit salty. It goes well with rice, but I wouldn't recommend drinking it on its own~
Side Dishes
There are a total of 6 varieties, and you can refill them infinitely 👍👍.
We ordered quite a lot, but that's actually because we brought two lunch boxes to pack food for our lunch the next day, so we ordered more. When we were ordering, the owner and staff kindly reminded us, "This will be too much for three people!" How considerate~
Although there’s a sign at the entrance saying they accept LINE PAY, they actually don’t at the moment – only cash is accepted! ☎️ Business is booming, so I recommend making a reservation in advance! ➡️ It's better for three or more people to dine together, so you can enjoy a wider variety of dishes. (By the way, this restaurant was recommended by my grandmother, and I think she's amazing; her taste is really good! 🤣)
This weekend, I had the opportunity to stroll around Xindian and thought I'd check out Yulon City since I had never been there. There were really a lot of people on the weekend, so we chose this BBQ place to eat. The reviews looked good, but my impression is that I won't be coming back.
First, the rice. Guo Ji once said: "If you're opening a restaurant, please learn how to cook rice first!" This rice was really subpar, not fragrant at all and clumpy, which seriously lost points.
We ordered the premium Japanese wagyu beef; it did have flavor, but the portion was really small. The thick-sliced beef tongue was completely unacceptable, wouldn't recommend it at all.
I was quite looking forward to the charcoal grill, but for some reason, the grill net was a bit thick, and the fire didn't really get going, making it difficult to achieve the desired Maillard reaction. Plus, halfway through grilling, we were forced to change the grill net, and the net that we had finally heated up instantly cooled down, which was a bit shocking...
In the end, the two of us spent over two thousand (currency), and I completely felt it wasn't worth that price. At first, I wanted to give it one star, but the server sister was very enthusiastic and helped redeem one star.

Dickson's Fooday update is here!
This time, I visited a table-service barbecue restaurant located in an alley in the East District.
It features a high-end, expensive service route.
With a name this impressive,
it’s got to be the champion of the barbecue world!
But can it truly live up to that title? 😧😧
The conclusion is:
Wealthy people think differently than we do 😂
It seems you need to spend quite a bit of money to get a champion service! 💸💸💸

In simple terms,
the food quality at this barbecue restaurant is quite good!
The ingredients are both exquisite and delicious. 👍👍
With options like gold-leafed barbecue and plum wine,
the overall experience and taste you get are fantastic,
plus, there’s a dedicated server to help you grill your meat. 😂
You won’t have to worry about poorly grilled food;
at least you’ll enjoy delicious dishes!
However, the price is simply too high!!
But it’s not surprising,
given that it’s located in a prime area of the East District,
coupled with an emphasis on refined, high-end decor and atmosphere.
A significant part of your money goes towards the ambiance, that’s for sure!
In summary,
the food, ingredients, and service are commendable,
but in terms of price and value for money,
you can definitely find better options!
🤪🤪 Dickson's Food Rant 🤪🤪
The East District is a great place to come with girls.
Not only are there various small shops in the alleys,
but you can also stroll around with girls checking out different accessories.
Are there ever too few accessories for girls? Let me know!
If that’s boring, there’s also a U2 cinema you can visit!
But be sure to behave and watch the movie, everyone!
As for wandering the East District’s small shops in the evening,
be sure to enjoy a fancy, high-end afternoon tea at a café.
Of course, you need to indulge in a luxurious dinner at night too!
🙎🏻♂️: Tonight, we’re having—legendary! The barbecue champion!
👩: What! Sounds amazing! Why is it the barbecue champion?
🙎🏻♂️: Because! You have a beauty champion with you for the meal!
Look at my beauty champion—paired with a barbecue champion,
you’re going to eat till you can’t stop! 🥹🥹🥹
👩: Huh? What?? So annoying~~
Look at that! The girl got flustered by your charming comments!
But choose your restaurant carefully!
This place not only has a beauty champion and a barbecue champion,
you also need to protect your wallet!
Every time you come to such an expensive barbecue restaurant,
you can see how the girls react!
If you find that the barbecue champion gets eaten but your wallet doesn’t hold up,
we’d say: “Hey, you’re a princess champion!” 😧😧
Now you get it, right?
Anyway,
if you want to enjoy high-end barbecue with a great atmosphere and even higher value for money, there are still other options out there.
If you don’t mind spending a lot, feel free to come by!
