The quality of the beef is excellent, and the texture after blanching is comparable to Tainan beef soup. The broth is somewhat average, but the overall meal is still delicious.
The restaurant atmosphere is relaxed, and customers can help themselves to vegetables and drinks, enjoying a free dining experience.
The staff is friendly and enthusiastic, providing detailed introductions to the dishes, which makes it easy for customers to choose meals that suit them.
General Manager Zhang of Yizhang Ranch transitioned from being an engineer to raising cattle because of his love for beef. To ensure the quality of the products, he decided to manage everything from the ranch, slaughtering, cutting and packaging, to the restaurant. He is dedicated to improving the cattle raising process and insists on three major principles: no use of "lean meat powder," "antibiotics," or "growth hormones." (Store spirit)
The beef, slightly blanched, is really delicious, rivaling the beef soup of Tainan. The quality of the meat is high, and even the selected beef brisket at a moderate price is very tasty. The broth is somewhat average; it could benefit from being richer. The other vegetables look great, but the hot pot ingredients are just passable. Overall, the price is a bit high, but it's very delicious.
I happened to come to Xinzhuang during meal time that day. I don’t usually pass by this place. I looked at the pocket list saved on Google Maps and found that it happened to be near this Wen Ti Niu hotpot restaurant that had been on the list for a long time, so I went to visit it. Find out.
I chose the seasonal vegetable hot pot soup base. The clerk said that white radish is used as the base for cooking. Coriander, celery and onions can be adjusted according to personal preference.
Two people had a la carte hot pot, which made ordering a bit tricky since the food intake was very limited.
It's o'clock today
Selected shabu-shabu beef slices: The clerk said that compared to the shabu-shabu beef slices, the selected ones are tenderer and have more different cuts. The warm-bodied beef is indeed delicious. It has a springy and crispy texture and the sweet gravy that can only be found in fresh warm-bodied meat. It cannot be compared with frozen meat. Very tasty! The only regret is that this small plate costs 480. It would be better if the portion could be larger!
Shabu-shabu beef tongue: This dish is not warm, it has been frozen, but it is still very delicious! Just like beef, you can enjoy it after simmering it for a few seconds. It has a crispy texture and is very refreshing!
Thai-style cold beef: This dish is half-cooked beef, topped with the store’s special Thai sauce, and topped with plenty of chilled onions. It’s perfect for enjoying in this upcoming summer season!
Beef jerky rice: The usual pork jerky rice and braised pork rice are minced pork. You really have to try the beef jerky here. The unique aroma of beef, with a hint of creamy sweetness, is really good! It's a pity that the rice is not cooked clearly enough, which is a pity.
Vegetables and hot pot ingredients are placed in the refrigerator and taken out by yourself, and the prices are also marked in the refrigerator. The egg dumplings are just average. It would be more friendly to customers with a small number of guests if they could be served in smaller portions.
After the meal, the store served a special milk popsicle made by the ranch. It was rich in milk and not too sweet, which was a perfect ending to the dinner.
