AI Spot Summary
The pork chop soaked in the soup causes the outer skin to become soft, which is suitable for those who enjoy a gentle texture. Shredded cabbage with sesame sauce is especially recommended, as it is appetizing and refreshing. Chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) goes well with rice.
The restaurant space is relatively small, and the distance between tables is close, which slightly affects comfort. The gas stove is located nearby, so caution is needed.
The service staff are friendly, and the 10% service charge is reasonable. There are various payment methods available, from cash to mobile payment.
Reviews
Today, I decided to reward myself generously by visiting Pintian Ranch and ordered a golden pork chop spicy army pot ($368). This dish already comes with noodles and also includes a bowl of white rice, which is just right for those with a big appetite!
The contents of the pot are quite abundant:
🌭 There’s a small hot dog
🥩 Thick-cut pork chop cut into five pieces
🥬 A big pile of pickled vegetables
🥢 Four pieces of rice cake, two pieces of broccoli, and a mushroom
The spiciness is on the low side, making it mild and gentle overall.
The chawanmushi (Japanese steamed egg custard) is also quite delicious and goes really well with rice! 🤣
However, a warning: soaking the pork chop in the soup will make the outer layer soft, which changes the texture from its original crispy state. If you’re the type who prefers the "freshly fried crispy texture," you might find it better to directly order the original thick-cut pork chop series.

🍚 The all-you-can-eat section deserves extra points!
White rice, shredded cabbage, and drinks are offered in unlimited supply!
I especially recommend the shredded cabbage with the sesame sauce available at the table; it’s super delicious, appetizing, and refreshing. (I had three bowls 😤)
I arrived at 11:00 right when they opened, only to find a good number of people with reservations already lined up outside.
I didn’t have a reservation, but luckily there was a spot available. I noticed that people at the other tables were already munching on shredded cabbage before their main dishes arrived, so I followed suit and found it incredibly tasty and addictive. I couldn't stop eating it! (laughs)

💬 Some dining tips and thoughts
The staff was very friendly, and a 10% service charge seems reasonable to me.
However, the space is a bit cramped, and the gas stove on the table is quite close to the edge, which could be dangerous if you accidentally bump into it. So I was quite careful while eating throughout the meal.
The distance to the table next door is also quite close, which slightly affects the dining comfort; that’s the only small downside.
✅ Finally, a point for convenience: there are many payment methods available, from cash to mobile payments, which is super convenient!
