品鼎殿日式壽喜燒

This is my second time dining at this restaurant.

Actually, I've only eaten at two shabu-shabu places, so I’m not professional enough to provide a detailed comparison.

This restaurant is quite famous in the Fuzhong area. Whenever there’s a need for a gathering, we often come here. I have encountered all kinds of groups here, including sports teams, tutoring classes, and family gatherings.

On weekdays, lunch costs 449 NT dollars, and on holidays and for dinner, it’s an additional 100 NT dollars, totaling 549 NT dollars. In terms of this price range, it’s quite acceptable. There are eight types of meat and a lot of vegetables to choose from. The cherry duck is very tender, but it’s a limited-time offer. Each person gets one raw grade A chicken egg, along with a serving of kimchi and snacks. These extras cannot be ordered; they need to be purchased separately. It’s a bit disappointing that you only get one egg per person because most people enjoy having raw eggs with shabu-shabu.

The quality of the meat is very fresh and tender, and the staff’s attitude is quite good. The number of diners was similar on both occasions, but the speed at which the food was served was notably slower during my second visit. The staple food (rice and noodles) can be refilled unlimitedly, but it also comes slowly. I’m not sure if they forgot; I got it only after a reminder.

The beverage bar is quite plentiful, and the flavors are good too. You don't get the feeling that it's cheap just because it's free refills. The restaurant also offers beer for an additional charge.

Considering the price range, this dining experience is acceptable, and I left feeling quite full. However, if you’re looking for a high-end dining experience, this wouldn’t be suitable.
