Giguo Taipei Nanchang Branch — Restaurant in Zhongzheng District

let me tell you about this awesome hot pot place in Taipei! It's seriously one of my absolute favorites. It's super convenient because it's just a short walk from an MRT station. Like, we're talking 3-4 minutes, tops!

Now, here's the best part. When you go there, you can indulge in unlimited drinks, veggies, desserts.And their menu is on point. They've got a great selection of high-quality meat and seafood options. You won't be disappointed!

Personally, I always go for the milk hot pot because it's my ultimate favorite. But, if you're into that spicy kick, they've got you covered too. Their spicy hot pot,(mala) if you want even more spice, they'll hook you up with extra spices.

It's a friendly vibe, delicious food, and...

I am a big fan of hotpots and this one is going on my list of good spots.

The soup was very tasty and the ingredients fresh and plentiful. I ordered a classic soup base while my boyfriend ordered a spicy one and we both really enjoyed our meal.

They also give you a nice little dessert at the end and that was a big bonus for me.

I guess the only negative for me is that they give you pre made sauces, instead of you serving and mixing your own sauces. This is something that I personally like doing, but it isn't a big deal. Plus the sauces they served were actually pretty good.

I will for sure be...

I’ve tasted better miso hot pot.

Service was iffy - not knowing what ladle in Mandarin is, I asked for a big spoon. Was told to get it from the food bar. Went there and I was told to get it from the staff. Went back to the 1st staff I asked and she sounded irritated when she said it’s on the table. Showed her it wasn’t. She didn’t apologize and turned away without coming back with a ladle.

And the sukiyaki was the worst I’ve tasted. It was cold and abhorrently sweet. To top it off, there was not a single itsy bit of meat - only onions!

The only thing nice about the meal - ice cream...
