Datong District, Taipei City｜Laozi Hot Pot

Good hotpot place! About NT200 for weekday lunch though over when you choose the soup base (NT10 for basic Japanese seaweed broth to NT80 for milk based which is not meant to be drank unless cooked first). Bowl of veggies is OK portion as is the meats (about six slices pork). Sauces have variety you can add yourself and also has free sodas, soft serve ice cream, and on-site freshly made noodle machines (thin cooks in 2-3 min or thick cooks in 5-6 min. Select portion first and push button making sure to have plate below to catch it). Other items on menu also good. Seafood was fresh when we ordered it and regular orders (ie, not business lunch) have good portions. Air con is on high so it doesn’t feel hot when eating in summer. * Has special free meat if rate five stars on Google Map but I still give it 5 for the fresh good portion foods and nice environment. Service is pretty good too with the waitstaff I met. It’s a relatively new restaurant opened July 2020 and I have been there four times already (10/2020). ** Update Jan 2021: still really good! :) Now has Uber Eats and Foodpanda deliveries. Kids under 120 cm add NT30 per child. Over that and will have to order either lunch pot or about NT200 on other items (can share with adult if non-lunch pots). Free indoor parking of 3 or 5 hours at the carrefour building (make sure to get parking stub at restaurant counter).
