🥩 Extreme Crane Wagyu Hotpot (Flagship Store)
🏠 5, Lane 91, Section 4, Ren'ai Road, Daan District, Taipei City
🕰️ 11:30–14:30, 17:00–22:30

⏱️ Dining time is limited to 120 minutes, and you can only order once every 15 minutes. The process is designed to focus on control, which often disrupts the rhythm as you can’t order the next dish until you finish the previous one.

💸 We chose the highest price option at $2280, plus an extra $300 to upgrade to an all-you-can-eat New York Strip and Alaskan King Crab option. The meat quality is consistent, the New York Strip has incredible marbling, and with one bite, the rich flavor bursts out; the sirloin is also outstanding, and the Iberico pork is perfectly tender, making it worthy of reordering 🐷

🦞 The Boston lobster offered sounds luxurious, but unfortunately, the meat is a bit loose and lacks a firm texture, which is a bit disappointing. The Alaskan King Crab is sweet enough, but it’s quite labor-intensive to deal with... my mouth is busy and my hands are even busier, which slows down my pace of attacking the main meat selections 🦀💦

🦐 The shrimp from Kendo Island are large and bouncy, which is satisfying to eat, and there’s someone to help peel them, which is very thoughtful and greatly reduces the time spent being flustered 👏

🪑 The environment and atmosphere are great, and the seating is comfortable with stable service. However, if you’re looking to eat aggressively, the pacing of the dishes may feel a bit slow; it's more suitable for a high-end meat tasting experience where you can enjoy the hotpot leisurely.
