台北喜來登大飯店－桃山 Momoyama — Restaurant in Zhongzheng District

Momoyama is one of my favourite Japanese restaurant in Taipei. Located on the second floor of Sheraton Taipei, it serves a wide variety of Japanese cuisines, but if you are too lazy to read the whole menu, you can also choose from a number of set menus. One thing I like about this restaurant is its services by well trained staff. Also, on the table you can find a cute gadget that you place different sides up for different kinds of services, such as placing an order, requesting water, asking for bill. The staff has a smart watch like device to notify him/her when customers are in need. As for the food, its quality is certainly second to none. I particularly love to order the assorted seafood hot pot with two meat selection between Iberico pork or US beef slices. The soup is made with Bonito broth, konbu, Japanese sweet rice vinegar and more. On the seafood plate, you can have fresh lobster, large shrimps, fish, clams, oyster, and squid. Also, you get a veggie plate! People often argue that the serving size is not much in terms of its price, but those people often compare Momoyama with the ground floor buffet. I have to say the food quality is not even comparable, especially when talking about sashimi. 10 pieces of sashimi can cost you NT$1260 + 10% here at Momoyama, but it is very delicious! It is a good restaurant for family as it has a number of private dining room, which I always ask for to get a bit of privacy when having great time with friends...

The restaurant has a daily lunch special of about five dishes. I selected the Shrimp Tempura. I was expecting a dish of Shrimp Tempura. The first dish delivered was a salad by a bowl of soup and a medium size bowl of beef with potatoes and other vegetables. The Shrimp Tempura was delivered with miso soup and white rice. Desert was served with coffee. The Shrimp Tempura was good. The service was very good and the prices were reasonable. Pictures of other specials orders...

It's really disappointed, especially the service is really bad. I have never encountered such rude behavior. We had a shabu shabu on that night without any service. When we asked for help to turn off the stove, the supervisor told us why don't you turn it off by yourself. The question is that I even don't know where is the bottom. Do you tell me where is it in the beginning? I can't believe it is happened to a international...
