Celebrated early mothers day with family last night.what a wonderful experience.service was attentive. We started off with mango mousse amuse bouche.small but well balanced flovor. Very delicious, I love when a restaurant offers that to start off as a pallet refresher. The complementary bread with seaweed butter was crunchy on the outside. Soft and moist on the inside, just how I love my bread. We asked for extra. That caused us to be overstuffed at the end. My favorite dish of the night came next. The king crab cake was simply to die for. It was stuffed with plenty of crab. A lot of places I had were filled with breadcrumbs so I was very happy with the starter. The caprese was just ok. The cheese definitely had room for improvement. I miss a good milky burrata cheese. Just haven't had it in taiwan. So I guess my hope was too high after the crab cake. Lol. While my family got the filet and rib cab.i opted in for the grilled seafood combo. The flovor was a little bland. And not too much of the grilled flovor. The seafood was fresh tho. The place is great for a date night or business dinner. For family gathering.the price was a lil steep. It's a wonderful experience for sure. My only complain was that I wish they could offer more a la carte menu items. So we r not forced to spend so much money on the set menu per adult. Because there r many affordable dining opinions in taiwan. I would love to come back for just the crab cake and the steak. The french fries with truffle aioli. Also the grilled water bamboo were great side dish options. Overall my family n I loved it. Hope to return for the next family gathering. Thanks for the great...

We ordered the 12 ounce ribeye to share, and it came out perfectly seared. Could have been a little juicier, but the beef was appropriately rich and flavorful. Minor complaint was that the beef wasn't cooked as evenly as that found at A Cut, one side of the steak was clearly more cooked through than the other. Difference is slight though, and overall the steak lived up to expectations.
Crab cake appetizer and bread were great, but the accompanying konpu butter for the bread is not a good idea. Just give me some normal butter please, that stuff was kinda awful. Creamed spinach side was very good, perfectly seasoned, rich in spinach flavor, and creamy.
Dessert was, frankly, pretty bad though. I had the cronut, which came out hard, not flaky, and impossible to cut into. Biting into that thing hurt my teeth. I'm pretty sure a donut from 7-11 would have been a better dessert. My friend's cheesecake turned out completely normal though, which was a little...
Read moreMy son and I have evaluated several Michelin star awarded restaurants in Taiwan over the course of the past two weeks. We have been to Mountain and Sea House, Shin Yeh Signature, Golden Formosa, Coast and Le Palais.
No. 168 Prime Steakhouse ranks second on our list, above Le Palais which holds three Michelin stars and is the only three Michelin star awarded restaurant in Taiwan.
We ordered the following: Hokkaido Scallop (Rating 9/10) - This was delicious Pan-Fried Duck Liver (Rating 7/10) Classic Onion Soup (Rating 7/10) Oxtail Soup (Rating 7.5/10) Asparagus (Rating 6/10) - This was a special request as it was not on the menu so the asparagus may not have been in season Baked Water Bamboo with Cod Roe (Rating 8/10) Australian Wagyu 9+ Rib Eye, 16oz for two (Rating 7.5/10) - Arrived a bit cold. We ordered half medium rare and the other half medium. Tiramisu (Rating 6/10) - More like a mousse than a cake
Great job No. 168...
