This time at the new Carbon Zuo Ma Li location in Kaohsiung, to be honest, I was amazed as soon as I walked to the entrance. The exterior of the entire restaurant doesn’t look like a barbecue place at all; it resembles a stylish art gallery or museum, giving off an air of elegance and taste. The interior space is also very spacious and beautiful, and just the dining environment alone adds a lot of points.
Regarding the food, we ordered all set meals this time, and the portions were truly generous, especially the meat, which was served without being stingy. The quality of the meats was up to standard as always, with the basic options like beef brisket, pork belly, and chicken thigh fillet all very aromatic when grilled. I especially recommend adding a bit of the pepper provided by the restaurant; it’s really a perfect match.
Among them, my personal favorite is their garlic shrimp rice, which has become a must-order soul dish every time I visit. It’s savory and flavorful, with the rice having a bit of chewiness, making each bite incredibly satisfying. Additionally, Carbon Zuo Ma Li has ongoing credit card discount promotions, and the buy one get one free offer on pork belly is truly cost-effective. The best part is that this pork belly is also delicious, and when grilled, it’s super fragrant with a bit of fat!
However, the prices are indeed not cheap. I think Carbon Zuo Ma Li is on the higher end of mid-range barbecue restaurants, but considering the environment, the quality of the ingredients, and the service, the overall experience is still quite good. If you're looking for a place for a gathering with friends, a family reunion, or even a date celebration, it’s definitely an impressive choice. I suggest making a reservation in advance; otherwise, there really can be quite a crowd during popular hours.
