鍋爸涮涮鍋 — Restaurant in Songshan District

This is one of two places we go to when dining out with my grandma and we love it. It is a buffet style hotpot so everyone is happy getting what they want and how much they want. You have individual hotpots to cook your food in. They have a really good selection of vegetables, traditional frozen hotpot goodies like fish balls, imitation crab, dumplings, etc. Their selection of meat is great too- beef, lamb, pork. These are in the refridgerated section and portioned onto plates. They have some seafood too like oysters and crab which are also in the fridge. The fish, sea cucumbers and other seafood are on the cold bar next to the vegetables. Everything is fresh, clean and easy.

Once you're done with hotpot, they have desserts like small baked goods and cakes to ice cream. There's also a coffee machine and cold drinks and Taiwanese flavored slushies.

This location is at Taipei Arena Station and if you need to walk off all the food you ate, there's an Ikea you can walk around in past...

The hot pot ingredients and quality of the hot dishes aren’t as good as the old place. The meat options were also very limited and the quality wasn’t great. Ice cream was also a no name brand and tasted really artificial.

There are only ~4 options for meat, and you need to write it down and order. The meat is sliced very thin and it tastes like it’s been processed.

I don’t think they deserve such a high rating. It costs $660 NT per person. You’re better off going elsewhere...

Staff continuously adjusted our temperature for us. Didn't ask, just walked up and changed it while we were sitting there even when asking to not. Seems this one good spot is overrun with a less than great croud and the staff has followed suit. We complained as we paid and the response was 'ok'. Not we will fix it, or sorry. My...
