The Sea House Cafe — Restaurant in Hsinchu

I really wanted to love this place... Was walking by and the guys outside were really friendly and after seeing Tandoori chicken and some ribs on the menu I was in...! My friend ordered a pizza and a drink and I ordered the ribs and two drinks... We each got one drink after about 5-7 mins (they were reasonably busy) and he got his pizza about ten minutes later... 5 mins later a large group of 8 people arrived and about ten mins later they got one pizza... I was still waiting for my second drink and my ribs (my friend's pizza was gone already) and then that big table (they arrived at LEAST 10-15 mins later than us) got an order of ribs... Realizing that I wouldn't be getting mine, we got up to pay, thinking they would at least offer them "to go"... They simply asked if we enjoyed everything and my friend told them I was still very hungry as none of my food was served... They seemed confused and the older guy (seems like the boss) just apologized... We paid and left.. Pity. Really...

If you’re a BBQ lover and happen to be in Taiwan, do yourself a favor and make your way to this incredible restaurant. From the very first bite, the ribs blew us away. Perfectly grilled with a mouthwatering smoky glaze, they were tender, juicy, and fall-off-the-bone delicious. The flavors were rich, layered, and satisfying without being overwhelming. Every bite was a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and smoky. Paired with a fresh salad and crisp vegetables, it made for an unforgettable meal.

The ambiance of the place is just as unique as the food—cozy, quirky, and full of character. The walls and ceiling are plastered with vintage posters, stickers, and memorabilia, creating a fun, laid-back vibe that instantly makes you feel at home. It’s the kind of place you find once and never forget.

Hands down, this was the best BBQ ribs experience we’ve ever had in Taiwan. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great food in a truly...

My girlfriend and I ordered a Pork pizza and a tandoori chicken. The pizza was fantastic, with a nice and chewy breading and delicious toppings. However, thats where the good news stopped. The tandoori chicken we ordered came almost 40 minutes after my pizza. Not only did we have to wait such a rediculus amount of time for the chicken, the chicken wasnt cooked all the way through, and was raw in the center. After informing the waitress, we were given another plate of chicken, but with the same issue. Bits of the chicken was still raw, and left a nauseating after-taste. My girlfriend ended up throwing up halfway home.

The pork ribs looked really good, I wanted to try it but it was sold out by the time we got there (~12pm)

Tldr; pizza was great, chicken was medium rare. Overall...
