Zhongshan District, Taipei City｜Niu Si

Finally got a reservation online, been craving for this place since last year! Overall, the food, atmosphere, and environment was great. Would definitely come back again, the fresh meat is a must!

Overall, the food is delicious, the service is also great, despite some reviews about the not friendly manager, but I did not encounter such problem. Be a good customer and they will treat you the same. I would definitely think of coming back here again. Must order: 1. 洋蔥煎烤生牛肉 - raw beef with onions This is one of the best raw beef I’ve had in Taipei. Even though it was raw, the meat had no raw taste at all. This dish is served cold. 2. 燒烤蔥鹽牛舌 - grilled ox tongue The ox tongue is thick, yet very tender. It was easy to bite the ox tongue. The scallions mixture on top complements the flavour. The hotpot portion is big enough for 6 people. We can add as much broth as we like. The broth was refreshing but I felt the tomatoes were too much. The beef and tendons are very soft, the vegetables are very fresh and of good quality. I would recommend to order 上選溫體牛肉 for the beef meat. Although the portion is written for 1 person, its actually quite a lot. I also ordered 雜炊 to make porridge with the leftover broth. Need to wait about 30 min to cook the porridge. The server will cook it for you. Taste is good, but not excellent. Have to book in advance to get a table. I don’t think they accept walk-ins as they prepare portions based on reservation.

Satisfying hotpot in Taipei city. Fresh meat and vegetables matched well and we tried beef heart and beef liver today, which are reservation required. Zosui is a must-order for me, which is porridge cooked with the broth, love it!!!!!
