Environment
As soon as you enter, you can see the Japanese-style decor, along with a tank for high-end seafood. The dining lights are focused on the table, creating a mysterious feeling. Furthermore, the seating is open without private booths. This time, three of us sat at a six-person table, which was very spacious and comfortable!
Meals
The restaurant does not have a self-service area; drinks and sauces are provided at the table. The sauces include soy sauce, chopped green onions, garlic, and chili sauce, which is colorful but not very spicy. The soy sauce is light, aiming to let customers enjoy the original flavors of the ingredients.
📍Da Guo Jie Shan Set Meal 💰4388
Includes meat, seafood, rice, and udon noodles (can be upgraded to salmon roe rice or changed to mixed rice), a vegetable platter, appetizers, and desserts.
This set is for two people, with the option of choosing Japanese or Australian wagyu. We chose Japanese this time. 🇯🇵
Appetizers: We selected chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and yam noodles, both of which were quite good and worth ordering. Additionally, there was a plate of boiled vegetable platter, which tastes great with a bit of sauce.
Soup base: We had kombu and chicken broth; kombu is suitable for cooking seafood and meat, while chicken broth is perfect for vegetables. We chose kombu broth, which was extremely clear and tasted sweet and fresh, completely different from what you usually get elsewhere.
Vegetable platter: The presentation was very lavish. After taking photos, the staff asked if we wanted to change any of the vegetables, which was very thoughtful, considering how diverse the options were.
Meat: The wagyu was an 8oz portion from the rib area, cooked to medium by the staff, very tender with a nice beef flavor. The Australian beef tongue is recommended at medium-well, also very tender and won’t be tough to chew.
Desserts: Since there was too much food, we didn’t have the mixed rice, but the staff let us order an extra dessert. We chose caramel pudding, three-color dumplings, and Edo-style tamagoyaki. Notably, the tamagoyaki was different from what I expected; the restaurant prepared it more like a honey cake, but it had a rich egg flavor. The texture was soft and moist, making it easy to eat—very impressive!
📍Salmon Roe Rice 💰299
After reading many reviews, most people opted for the salmon roe rice upgrade; it is topped with plenty of salmon roe, caviar, and a raw egg yolk. Once mixed, the texture and rich flavor are highly recommended!
📍Suruga Mori 💰599
Includes live clams, slices of live leopard coral fish, dolly fish, Penhu squid, sashimi-grade squid paste, live milk clams, and cherabin clams.
Although the menu has only these items, they will be served alongside the seafood in the set. There were two very special shrimp, which were incredibly sweet and delicious. All the seafood was very fresh, especially the milk clams, which were large and extremely sweet to eat without any sauces.
🔥Restaurant Promotions
1️⃣ A Google review can get you braised beef cheek, a clear broth dish with tender, flavorful beef that is half tendon and half meat.
2️⃣ For just 💰399, you can add autumn hairy crabs, but the staff mentioned they were not too large and advised against ordering them.
3️⃣ By checking in, you can add sea urchin salmon roe sushi for 💰100; you can add two portions to your set, and the sea urchin is extremely generous—a worthwhile addition!

Cars 🚗 can use many partnered parking lots 🅿️, with the nearest being Zhongming Park parking lot. If you arrive early, two cars can be parked in front of the restaurant.
Service
At the beginning, they provide towels for hand wiping, followed by an introduction to the dazzling menu. The speed of food service is quite fast. Initially, the staff will ask if you need help with cooking; at this point, don’t hesitate to say "yes!" The staff will distribute the food evenly to customers, ensuring the meat and seafood are cooked perfectly. I must say that during the entire meal, all one needs to do is eat and serve the food on the plates; the service charge is definitely worth it! The restroom is also equipped with towels, mouthwash, and air fresheners, so you won’t have to smell bad while eating hot pot.
