老井極上燒肉 崇德店

[Taichung Beitun] Laojing Premium BBQ

I only tried Laojing for the first time after they opened in Taipei!
They offer a set menu, and you can scan the QR code to order online.
(If the elders can’t use it, the staff will assist them in ordering verbally.)
The space is spacious and clean, and there’s no residual smoke smell after dining.

From the moment I entered until I left, the staff wore big smiles.
Dining time is two hours.
If you are grilling too slowly, the staff will come over to help with grilling.
They will frequently change the grill mesh and will come over occasionally to offer wet wipes for your hands,
making you feel like a child being taken care of. 🤣

Most of Laojing’s meats are marinated and taste a bit sweet.
They come with three dipping sauces, highly recommending the lemon juice to balance the flavors. 👍

✨ Personal recommendation
◽ Tasting Couple’s Set $2190 (+$128)

Basic appetizers and soup: kimchi (no free refills), white peach vinegar drink (pot),
scallion salt beef tongue, passion fruit crispy snack, chicken soup, lettuce.

Appetizer: Caesar salad - the croutons were really tasty, and the greens were fresh.
Leaf Return (diced raw salmon, salmon roe, with mustard) was a bit hard to understand.
The seared salmon sushi was delicious, and the nigiri sushi was good as well.

Rice Dish: Everyone please add $128 for an upgrade.
Garlic shrimp stone pot rice - the shrimp flavor is super rich, and there are plenty of shrimp roe! They will help divide the bowl.

Main Dish: Highly recommend the garlic butter chicken thigh - it has a sweet garlic flavor.
Angular Matsusaka pork and pork collar - perfect for wrapping in lettuce.
Angus beef/reverse-sear/shoulder flap, by the end I forgot who was who...
There’s one with scallions and peeled chili, super good! It saves you from taste fatigue.

Seafood: Sashimi-grade large scallops (big, but not very memorable).
Sea-flavored large prawns - the shrimp are all delicious.
Cuttlefish slices - grill until they turn milky white for more moisture.

Dessert: POLS ice cream, baked crème brûlée.

Drinks: Laojing hand-shaken tea.
100% honey-flavored stone lotus fruit juice - the honey flavor is strong but not too sweet.
