梨花 A5和牛放題 — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

To begin, I will say the food is quite good. We got the top choice on the menu (2099, I think) which included king crab. That and the beef were great. They offer some tasty sauce selections as well. Why the 2 star review? We dined with our one month old baby and were told there is a 100nt charge for 100cm (can't remember exactly) and shorter children. A charge for a baby that isn't eating or drinking anything? Just lying in a stroller resting...In fact, it was even more profitable for the restaurant because we had to dedicate time to relaxing the baby while we dined. Maybe it's a charge to deter parents from bringing small children. Some common sense would be helpful when deciding who should incur the charge... The 75 minute ordering time limit with orders able to be placed every 7 minutes is pretty distracting and created pressure on us to constantly watch the time. While dining, the server accidentally threw away a large bowl of our cooked food (keep in mind the time limit issue). She was apologetic, but made no mention of replacing the tossed food. After a few minutes, she did return to ask if we'd like the food replaced. Not sure why there was a delay. Seems like it should have been an immediate reaction. The food was good, but the negative aspects left a lot to be desired considering the price. In the future, I'd probably opt to go to a higher priced buffet (1200-1400?) where the selection is more varied. But for unlimited king crab and A5 beef, it's...

So full! Not a huge seafood fan so I focused on the meat. The clear broths were the best to taste the beef and of course the marbled cuts were by far the best. They melted in our mouth. They pace your orders and I really didn't notice it, which is pretty good as I'm a big eater. That said, there is an overall time limit so keep those orders going to maximize it. I'd definitely go back in the future.

Now back to the seafood, I prefer red meat, but the seafood was fresh and delicious here. There was plenty of crab and fish to satisfy my curiosity and cravings. They had ice cream, soda, juice, beer, tea,...

It’s an Instagram hotpot place. They have a few spots for guests to take photos.

We ordered a set for two and another set for one (you can only order in sets). The food is good, but the proportion was a bit tooooo much for us to handle.

Thé service was also great, and the waitresses/waiters all acted professionally. If I have to pick a bone them, then I would kindly ask the waiter/waitress to be more “lively” when introducing the menu to us (the one who introduced us the menu sounds like a robot…but he/she sounded a hella more lovely when we asked him/her some favors such as extra plates...
