Yilan City, Yilan County｜1491 Vietnam Steak

Eat chicken chop + wing plate beef and chicken chop + golden pig today. The business was very good on Sunday. Fortunately, I entered the store at 5:00 pm. After that, there were a lot of people. After eating, there were still many groups of customers queuing outside. There are Vietnamese-style sour soup/tomato soup, lily tea, French bread, etc. that can be used indefinitely. The soups are exchanged once a week. You can choose two sauces, one is directly poured on the rice noodles with meals, and the other is dipped in a small container. The meat of the chicken chop is good, fried very fragrant, and the skin part is very suitable for dipping some sauce on toasted French bread. Wing plate beef does not have too much fat, but it is a bit glutinous, but it does not affect the taste. The meat quality is relatively solid, and the umami taste of the beef is obviously very delicious after chewing. The golden pig is very special, the taste is very soft and tender. If you are tired of the solid taste of ordinary pork, it is highly recommended to eat the different golden pig. Two servings of Pho are topped with curry sauce and Vietnamese sauce respectively, and the additional dipping sauces include Vietnamese black pepper sauce and lemongrass spicy sauce. The sweet and sour vietnamese sauce is very special, and the curry sauce is thicker, which is very suitable for pairing with rice noodles. In particular, the taste of the rice noodles is very chewy, and the ones imported from Vietnam are really very different. The black pepper sauce is very thick, and it tastes good whether it is dipped in meat or bread. The lemongrass flavor of the lemongrass spicy sauce is obvious, and the spiciness is not too spicy. The side dishes are accompanied by crisp and refreshing Taiwanese kimchi, which is very special. It is very special and delicious when eaten crispy when it is served on the table, or mixed with the sauce on the iron plate. After the French bread is baked, it is suitable for eating alone, dipping sauce, or putting meat or rice noodles on it. The Vietnamese-style sour soup tastes like hot and sour soup at first, but the sour taste is different from the acetic sour taste of ordinary hot and sour soup. The tamarind used by the store is more obvious and appetizing. There are also many ingredients in it, and it is very comfortable to drink hot. The lily flower tea tastes very fragrant, and it is very greasy. Drinking it cold is very comfortable. The whole shop feels very comfortable, and the wooden tables and chairs are also very tasteful. The Vietnamese love songs are constantly playing in the shop. The whole place is like being in a foreign space.

We have been here twice already. Vietnamese style steak that comes with pho noodles, Vietnamese cabbage and egg. There’s a mini bar with sour tomato soup, baked bread and floral tea. For the sauces, kids are ok with the Vietnamese sauce and curry sauce. Adults live the spicy lemongrass and black pepper sauces. Apparently, the black pepper is from Vietnam so it has a stronger flavor than Taiwan pepper. If you don’t like noodles with your steak, you could ask for rice instead.

This is a creative steak restaurant. The name of the restaurant is a set of sweet numbers when the boss and his wife were in love. I was very curious about what Vietnamese steak is. When I saw the iron plate noodles in my impression, it turned into Vietnamese pho. It was really special. There were also There's a little bit of kimchi, which is the first time I've seen this combination, but it's not unpalatable. Bread, lily tea, and Vietnamese hot and sour soup are all you can eat. Lily tea is available with or without sugar. You can see the owner’s thoughtfulness. This tea is not common in Taiwan, but it is a must-have thirst quencher for every household in Vietnam. The Vietnamese hot and sour soup does not have as much thickening as the Taiwanese version. It tastes not greasy and is more refreshing. It depends on you whether you like it or not. The sauces are also unique, including Vietnamese hot and sour, coconut curry, Vietnamese black pepper, spicy, and mushroom. You can choose from two types. They are both delicious, not too thick or too strong. I especially like the curry mix. Pho is an amazing combination, and it doesn’t feel out of place. As for the main meal, the cheapest is the chicken steak, which costs $180. It’s a big piece, the meat is tender and crispy, and the skin is crispy but not too burnt. The heat is well controlled. It’s affordable but not sloppy at all. It’s dipped in black pepper. The sauce, slight spiciness, and tender meat will make you take one bite after another. All in all, it is a very special Vietnamese cuisine experience, but I have been to Vietnam and have never seen any steakhouses. Obviously this is the boss's fusion of Taiwanese and Vietnamese flavors, creating sparks. The decoration of this store is also very Vietnamese. The artwork on the walls and the furnishings displayed in the store must be the proprietress' sustenance when she is homesick. I'll give it a try next time I pass by, but the store's business is very good, so you can call first to see if there are any vacancies to avoid waiting too long.
