Chu Shao Nabe-mono Ryouri is situated near Sogo Department Store and is neatly and comfortably decorated. They insist upon using American CAB certified Angus Beef and only the freshest seasonal ingredients. The fat distribution in Angus Beef is very even, giving it its tender and juicy taste. The beef can be cooked according to your own liking, and then eaten with specially made Japanese-style sauces and fresh local eggs for a smooth tasty texture. The set menu includes a Japanese-style appetizer (Potato Gratin/ Chinese Yam and Tomato Salad/ Teriyaki Mushrooms/ extra portions for NT$50 each); a main dish (unlimited supply of high-grade beef/ seasonal vegetables/ mushrooms) and a dessert (seasonal vegetables/ ice cream/ extra portions are NT$50 each). The wait staff will bring the food to the table and pour the special sauces; vegetables and sauces can be added according to personal taste at no extra cost. There are tables for four to 10 people, as well as Japanese-style seating and VIP rooms for company gatherings or larger parties. Smoking is prohibited in the entire restaurant but there is a smoking area outdoors. Weekday lunches are NT$298, dinners and all meals on holidays are NT$358, and late night meals on weekdays are NT$258. A 10-percent service charge must be added to all prices above.
