Zhuangwei Township, Yilan County｜海世界複合式碳烤

In terms of ingredients and price, it is very worthwhile! There are a lot of non-holiday visitors! It is best to make a reservation in advance. I have been here once before, and the roads outside are full of cars and people. If you can’t wait for a seat, you will return with no success and disappointment! This is the second time to eat it! Remember to make an appointment first.

Although the restaurant's environment is not 5 star, for NT$500($17USD) to BBQ and hot pot fresh fish, shrimps, crabs, oysters, squids and beef, lamb, pork, veggies and sweet tea, milk tea, ice cream, and all you can eat, this restaurant is totally deserve a 5 star rating. Before we made the reservation, I saw some negative ratings and comments about the reservation bad attitude, bad service attitude, not willing to change the BBQ coal pot, and stirring the coal causing ashes flying all over the table and forcing 7 people to share one (4 people comfortable) table, we did not see any of it except the last two issues. Their reservation line was hard to reach which was a challenge. Then, the attitude was very friendly. We started with a joke and the entire reservation went very smoothly. Upon arriving the restaurant, we were arranged to sit in the middle of a 4 pots long table which was totally fine for 3 of us. However, the next table at my end started complaining. They said they had 7 people, and, they thought our table was reserved for them. It turned out their reservation was for 6; so, they get arranged to sit at the end table which was OK for 6. The cashier lady double checked if they really had 7 people and discussed options with them. Later, moved them to a different location with 2 pots where they sit comfortably. I guess they agreed to pay for an extra pot which is NT$100($3.50USD). The services were all great. They explained how it works in details. Later, they stopped by to teach us how to BBQ squids and how to open the oysters. They helped to clean and prepare the fish and squids. I asked for cooking oil which was not normally provided without any problems. What else could you ask for? 40mins into the meal, a lady did come over to poke on the coal. However, she did it carefully and we didn't see any ashes flying around. Overall, we were very happy for this experience. I believe all the negative comments if it really happened, it probably happened during holidays and/or weekends. Because it would be very hard to handle a full house. We went there on Monday. It was 90% full at the 7:30pm slot. And, we enjoyed it.

The food is delicious, the ingredients are fresh, the air is fresh, the environmental cleaning staff are friendly and considerate, great!
