牛老大涮牛肉-高雄二店/高雄必吃美食/火鍋/必比登推介 — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

This was my second visit to this restaurant, but unfortunately, the service left much to be desired. There were three of us this time, and I was quite surprised that the staff didn’t even ask what soup base we preferred for our hot pot. Instead, they simply communicated among themselves and placed two plates of beef and the original soup base on our table—without any consultation.

At first, I assumed this was the required minimum order for three people. However, as the meal went on, I noticed that there were other options, including Mala soup base. When we checked out, I asked the cashier about the minimum order, and she informed me that it was just the soup base and one plate of beef. I then mentioned that the staff never gave us the chance to choose our soup base and didn’t even ask before serving us two plates of beef.

That said, while the service was disappointing, the food itself was quite good. The beef was tender and flavorful, though I found the beef belly to be less enjoyable. Our two stir-fry dishes—Sour Wombok Beef and Beef Tendon—were delicious, and the portions of Tonghao and cabbage were generous. The soup base had a good variety of vegetables and bean curd products, making for a well-balanced hot pot experience.

If the staff had greeted us properly, given us the opportunity to choose our preferred soup base, and clearly explained that one plate of beef was the required minimum order, I would have appreciated the service much more. While the food quality is commendable, I hope the restaurant improves its customer service to enhance the overall...

TL;DR: The WORST hotpot experience of our lives. Please avoid - do not be misled by the Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Words can’t fully express how terrible this place was. It’s honestly an insult to other Bib Gourmand establishments that this restaurant is even on the list. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

Service was absolutely disastrous. They got our soup base wrong not once, but twice - and stood there looking confused when we pointed it out. Meanwhile, our raw ingredients were already served, so we had to just sit and wait with uncooked food on the table. As others have mentioned, there were plenty of staff around, but only one waiter was actually working. The rest were just standing around, completely disengaged.

Food-wise, the soup was bland and forgettable - something you could easily make at home with a basic stock cube. Certainly nothing deserving of a Michelin Bib nod. The portion of meat was surprisingly small for the NT$400 price tag (see photos), and while the ingredients like beef and seafood were fresh, there was something noticeably off about the beef after cooking - it lacked flavor and just didn’t taste right.

Utensils and tableware made no sense either. We were eating hotpot, but the soup bowls they provided were tiny. When we asked the waitress why, she just shrugged and said she didn’t know.

And to top it all off - when we went to pay, they hadn’t even keyed in our order. We had to verbally list everything we ate just so they could calculate the bill. Absolutely chaotic and unprofessional.

This place truly tarnishes the Michelin Bib Gourmand label. If this is what qualifies, it really calls the entire list into question.

重點摘要：我們人生中最糟糕的一次火鍋體驗。請大家千萬不要被米其林必比登推薦誤導，務必避開這家店。

真的無法用言語形容這家店有多糟糕。這根本是對其他入選必比登名單餐廳的侮辱。如果可以給零顆星，我一定毫不猶豫。

先說服務：真的可以用「災難」來形容。他們把我們的湯底搞錯了兩次，而且員工完全愣住、不知道怎麼處理。我們點的生食早就上桌，但因為湯底還沒來，只能一直等。就像其他評論提到的，現場其實有很多服務人員，但大多數都只是站著發呆，只有一位男店員在忙東忙西，其他人根本像塑像一樣沒在動。

食物部分也非常失望。湯頭非常普通，完全沒記憶點，就像在家隨便煮的湯底，完全配不上所謂的「米其林必比登」頭銜。我們花了 NT$400...

8月10日晚我和友人去高雄牛老大二店，都好值得記錄一下發生嘅事。

牛老大係牛肉火鍋店。事緣友人本來想去牛老大總店，就真係冇得book嘅。只係因為去到高雄都晏咗，我哋就去近酒店少少嘅二店。呢間係有得book嘅，所以事前冇book，係我哋抵死，等位冇得怨。

等咗大半個鐘，侍應出嚟俾落單紙我哋睇。根據佢嘅描述，餐牌上好多牛類產品嘅火鍋配料冇曬，得返牛肉、牛肚同牛筋。牛腩同五花牛肉都冇。果陣大概夜晚8:00。而餐廳標示嘅關門時間係凌晨12:00。

然後再等多一陣，八點零鐘，另一個侍應帶我哋入座。侍應話留咗一份牛肉俾我哋，要點多啲嘅話就要搵佢。佢帶到我哋埋去張枱度，但張枱根本就係未執枱。然後侍應窒咗一窒，就叫我哋上樓上雅座咁啦。

上到去，基本上見到幾個侍應，冇人有反應帶位，最後有一個女侍應帶位，我哋終於有得坐。坐低之後，女侍應就話我哋只可以叫一份牛肉。我禮貌地問可唔可以叫多一份，因為我真係好肚餓。侍應就話佢哋驚賣晒，所以九點半先可以再叫。咁我見坐落已經八點幾，就問佢可唔可以落定兩份，一份而家上，另一份九點半之後上。女侍應話可以。

之後，女侍應就走咗去。係，佢無啦啦就走咗去。

我哋其實仲想叫嘢，冇話叫完，都諗住即刻繼續叫。但女侍應無啦啦走咗去。最後我哋叫另一個男侍應，叫埋其他配菜，連牛肉熟食都叫咗一堆。

食到尾聲，由於有麻辣湯底，我想飲嘢，我問侍應有冇得叫嘢飲，佢叫我自己去雪櫃攞。我見雪櫃又真係寫請自取，又冇人同我講過係收錢，落單紙上又真係冇標示飲品嘅項目(咁就自然冇價錢架啦)，以為係任飲。我仲同友人講話蝕晒。咁我都唔貪心，淨係飲咗枝蘋果梳打姐。

結果埋單，收銀問我有冇去雪櫃攞野飲。乜原來野飲收錢架？我一定會俾錢，亦都有俾錢，但從來冇人同我講過話野飲要俾錢，而且落單紙上根本冇呢個收費項目，我連佢一枝蘋果梳打收幾多錢都唔知道。

留意返：牛老大二店門口有標明多謝米其林必比登推薦牛老大涮牛肉。

我諗唔好話係唔係平民米之蓮推介啦，以上嘅用餐經歷，我就覺得真係有啲不可思議。我而家都好少會咁樣打出嚟，但真係忍唔住。我都唔介意俾人話我去到邊d__...
