Reviews
[Taoyuan Luchu] Shanao House - Taoyuan Nankan Branch
This is a BBQ restaurant that I fell in love with after just one visit! The quality of the meat is great, and the portions are generous. The seating is spacious, so you won’t feel cramped. They specialize in smokeless BBQ, so even after dining, your hair still smells nice—perfect for a date!
On that day, we ordered the double set meal, which included 9 types of meat (beef, pork, and chicken). If you don’t eat beef, there’s a set meal just for pork and chicken. The side dishes include salad, tamagoyaki, pickles, chicken soup, and bread. The rice is made from Koshihikari rice, and there are options for drinks and desserts as well. By the time we were halfway through our meal, we were already quite full; next time, we might just order a la carte instead ><
The only major downside was that we were seated by the window. There was a vent above us, and we could constantly smell smoke from people outside. I really dislike the smell of smoke; it ruined the dining experience for me a bit. Next time I go, I’ll see if I can switch to a seat inside.

✨ Personal Recommendation
Set meal: $2,600 for two, $3,300 for three
◽ Beef
＞ These three types of meat come on the same plate, with kelp salt and garlic slices on the side—please eat them together! The garlic slices are amazing! 👍
- Australian Wagyu Ribeye✨ I loved it to the point of obsession ❤️ It has a lot of marbling, a killer with rice!
- American Short Ribs✨ Cut in two ways; the whole piece is easier to eat and has a texture similar to ribeye, not as fatty.
- Australian Wagyu Rib Flank✨ Grilled until slightly charred for the best flavor!
✨ American Three Muscle Tender Tendon: I thought it would have a strong beef flavor at first, and I expected it to be tough due to the tendons, but surprisingly it was very tender!
◽ Pork (Domestic Pork)
✨ Belly Meat: It tastes like grilled pork belly; it may look dry and hard, but it has a chewy texture, and the fat doesn't make it greasy.
＞ Shoulder Meat: There were 6 large slices; it’s good when paired with lettuce, but it’s somewhat less impressive compared to other meats.
＞ Loin Meat: I don’t remember much about this.
◽ Chicken (Domestic Chicken)
✨ Chicken Thigh (Teriyaki/Garlic✨): You can choose one of two flavors, and I absolutely made the right choice! The chicken is marinated with garlic, and it’s packed with flavor even without dipping sauce or pepper salt!
✨ Free-range Chicken Tender Shoulder Meat
＞ I thought the shoulder meat would be dry, but it turned out to be chewy and I recommend grilling it until crispy and then dipping it in pepper salt.
◽ Side Dishes
＞ Chef's special salad: One bowl per person; you can choose one flavor (Caesar/Sesame/Vinaigrette).
＞ Special chicken soup (refillable): It has a herbal taste, unlike the common white chicken soup served at BBQ restaurants.
＞ Meat-wrapped lettuce: Standard lettuce.
✨ Golden Kimchi: I absolutely love the sweet golden kimchi!
✨ Parmesan Soft Bread + Sprouted European Bread (with dipping sauce): Can be lightly toasted.
＞ Japanese Tamagoyaki: It’s my first time seeing tamagoyaki at a BBQ place, I recommend grilling it before eating. I'm a bit picky about chicken, so the eggs had a slight smell.
Drinks: You can choose two drinks for $40, or there’s a $40 discount on each drink after the first selection.
◽ Desserts (Choose 2 from 5)
The unique thing is that for dessert, you have to move to another seating area.
✨ Walnut Brownie: Tastes better on its own than with salted cream.
✨ Ice Heart Pineapple Puff & Cheese Tart: The puff pastry is soft with a sweet pineapple bun taste, filled with a lot of filling, and after being chilled, it’s like eating ice cream ~ The cheese tart I had that day was berry flavored, sweet with a hint of acidity ~
