"Beiyixuan Hotpot Seafood BBQ" is located in Gushan, Kaohsiung, and this visit left me with mixed feelings. Starting with the positive, the kimchi pork here is really excellent, with a spicy and tangy flavor that whets the appetite, making it irresistible to stop eating. The sakura shrimp fried rice is also good; although not as distinct in grain as mentioned online and a bit moist, the flavor is still very fragrant, with the salty taste of the shrimp perfectly infused in every bite of rice, leaving a very satisfying overall impression.
However, there was a chicken dish, I forgot the exact name, but it made me quite angry. The chicken was cooked in a way that was really disappointing, as it was undercooked. When bitten into, it was pink inside and difficult to chew, impossible to break apart! After calling the waiter, they initially insisted the meat was cooked, only after I repeatedly emphasized the state of the meat did they agree to take it back to be refried. Their refrying didn’t mean preparing a new dish, but rather returning our half-eaten dish to the pan! And to top it off, when brought back to the table, not even an apology was offered; the waiter just placed the dish down and walked away. How can they have such an attitude when they can’t even cook the food properly?
In summary, regarding the food, the kimchi pork and sakura shrimp fried rice are up to standard with good flavors; however, the service attitude can only be rated one star, as they didn’t handle the undercooked food properly. Overall, I’d give it three stars! After reading Google reviews, a lot of people also say this place has a bad attitude and become arrogant because of their business success. For me, tasty food is one thing, but this kind of service handling really makes one feel uncomfortable.
