It seems that aside from the warm beef soup in Tainan, it's quite rare to eat warm beef in hot pot restaurants. This place was chosen by a friend, and on that Friday night, there were many group customers.

I think the soup base is quite good, and the vegetables are delicious! We ordered warm beef, and the staff mentioned that the small portion is only about the size of a palm (which felt not much), so we ordered the large portion, and it turned out to be quite a lot. The cuts of warm beef vary in size, very fresh and not too beefy, and the staff specifically advised not to overcook it. Indeed, if boiled too long, the texture becomes firmer, which is a bit tough for someone like me who struggles to chew meat, but the smaller pieces are delicious if not overcooked. The beef short rib is rich in fat and has a stronger flavor compared to the warm beef, but it's also tasty.
The seafood platter was very fresh, and everything was delicious. The handmade dumplings were plentiful, and the skin of the minced type had a chewy texture which was quite tasty; the bean curd skin, egg dumplings, cauliflower, and baby bok choy were just normally good. The homemade satay sauce had a strong ginger flavor, and the shredded ginger with the meat and seafood was also delicious.
Overall, it was quite enjoyable. The vegetable ingredients were self-serve and convenient, and both the meat and seafood were very fresh. Compared to other warm beef restaurants, it was easier to make a reservation, so it’s worth a try if interested.
Reviewer comment: Having two sinks is quite convenient.
Originally, I wanted to eat at another restaurant but couldn't make a reservation, so I found this place through Google Maps and decided to try it because it had good reviews. We made a reservation for Friday evening, and there were quite a lot of people that day.
The ordered dishes were as follows:
Shabu-shabu pot (small) with flatfish satay soup & winter vegetable clear soup 120 TWD
Taiwanese fresh beef (large) 699 TWD
Boneless beef short ribs (small) 459 TWD
Seafood platter for two 699 TWD
Handmade dumpling platter 219 TWD
50 TWD green plate x2 total 100 TWD
80 TWD flower plate x2 total 160 TWD
The total amount including service fee was 2702 TWD.
The two types of broth have distinct flavors; the satay soup is not too salty and tastes smooth. The fresh beef has no fishy smell, and the short ribs have a strong beef flavor but are of good quality. The seafood platter is very fresh, and the clams have no sand. The handmade dumplings are plump and delicious, especially their homemade satay sauce, which has a unique flavor and is definitely worth trying.
