Review of Yatao: Independent Restroom
Heartstone Hot Pot - A highly recommended all-you-can-eat place in Banciao with great value!
Located at the intersection of Zhongzheng Road in Banciao, "Heartstone Hot Pot" has a convenient dining environment but parking can be a bit challenging. In terms of pricing, the lunch price on weekdays is NT$369 per person, while evenings and weekends are NT$439, with no service charge, and the dining time is 90 minutes. Special broth bases require an additional charge and only cash is accepted.
This hot pot restaurant operates on an all-you-can-eat basis, offering a rich selection of meats including beef, chicken, pork, and lamb, with moderate slice thickness and good quality. The variety of hot pot ingredients is diverse, and birthday celebrants can enjoy a special "meat cake" decoration; additionally, checking in on social media earns two free scallops, and the overall freshness of the ingredients is commendable.
Notably, braised pork rice and donburi are also all-you-can-eat options; the braised pork rice comes with a braised egg, and the aroma and texture of the pork are comparable to specialty shops outside. The beef donburi is also very flavorful. The chicken tenders in the restaurant are recommended for their tender and juicy meat.
As for beverages, a variety is offered, with milk tea paired with unsweetened green tea and pearls being sweet but not cloying; the ice cream also meets good standards. The vegetable section includes refreshing options like water lily, which adds a unique touch to the hot pot experience.
The broth is delicious, the meat quality is excellent, and with a rich array of hot pot ingredients and diverse rice options, both the main dishes and desserts display great value. It's especially suitable for friends who want to eat well and be full, providing quality protein and carbohydrates. I would definitely visit again if given the chance!
