In Taitung city, there are many small hotpot restaurants, ranging from the traditional chain San Ma to some local brands. However, there has been a gradual upward trend in prices recently, and it may cost over 200 NT dollars to enjoy a satisfying hotpot. If that’s the case, I would be willing to spend an additional hundred dollars to eat at a hotpot place that bridges the gap between exquisite hotpot and small hotpot. Yang Guo is such a place.

The quantity of vegetables in the vegetable platter is more than that in typical small hotpot restaurants, and the ingredients are fresh. The amount of meat is also noticeably generous, and it consists of freshly sliced meat. If you don't want to eat hotpot ingredients, or if you want to swap the vegetable platter for more meat, or vice versa, there is plenty of flexibility.

In addition, there is no shortage of beverages and ice cream beyond the main hotpot offerings. The drinks include tea and slushies. Regardless of the drink quality, at least during the serving process, you will feel that the drinks you consume are clean and fresh. The ice cream is from a good brand, and the rice is cooked well, with distinct grains. So, although the overall price is a bit higher, the satisfaction level is significantly greater.
