八方悅鍋物 內湖AIT店

Taipei Neihu - A chain hot pot restaurant, I have eaten here many times! Their seafood portions are large, fresh, and substantial, and they provide plenty of vegetables on the vegetable platter! Dine-in customers can enjoy free braised pork rice, a variety of drinks, ice cream, and popcorn! Choose a soup base and order a main dish, which comes with a vegetable platter.

📍 Chicken leg and clam hot pot NT$390
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖
The clams are fresh and large, and the best part is they are alive! There are a total of ten clams, and they spit out sand very cleanly, tasting very sweet! The chicken leg is a whole piece of frozen chicken leg meat, quite generous in portion! A little goji berry is sprinkled on top to enhance the flavor of the soup.

📍 Double seafood pot (fresh oysters + cuttlefish) NT$405
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
The fresh oysters are abundant, but this place has a special taste (which I’m not too fond of). The cuttlefish is also served whole.

📍 Vitality golden clam soup base +NT$20
🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
If you choose a seafood pot, there’s no additional charge of 20 NT dollars. I think the soup base is just okay; I originally thought there would be clams inside XD. I can’t really taste the clam flavor; it’s seasoned with ginger and kelp.

📍 Vegetable platter
The portion of napa cabbage is quite generous, and other ingredients include: a shrimp, broccoli, taro balls, onion, baby corn, tofu, fish cake, water spinach, black fungus, enoki mushrooms, kelp, and sweet potato.

▶️ Environment
🔹 Plenty of seating inside with large space, offering 4-person tables, 8-person tables, and solo seats by the window.
🔹 There’s a free self-service bar providing drinks and ice cream.
🔹 Sauces are self-serve.
🔹 Utensils will be provided at the pot side.

▶️ Helpful reminders
🔹 It is recommended to call ahead to make a reservation.
🔹 Only cash is accepted.
🔹 Payment is made after the meal, no service charge is applied.
🔹 A little interlude: when I ordered the "chicken leg and clam hot pot," I asked if this was considered a "seafood pot." After checking, the staff said it was, so there would be no extra 20 NT dollars for the golden clam soup base. However, the bill indicated I had to pay an additional 20 NT dollars. After discussing, they removed that charge. I recommend asking for confirmation if you order this dish!

▶️ Overall Evaluation
🔹 I am very satisfied with the seafood ingredients here, and I particularly like the "chicken leg and clam hot pot." The clams are large and fresh, and just ordering this dish can provide plenty of protein. The vegetable platter is also quite rich, and the amount of napa cabbage given is generous! Additionally, the self-service area offers various drinks and braised pork rice, which I really appreciate!
