Da’an District, Taipei City｜狗一下居食酒堂-忠孝店

Loved this place! There’s a lot of variety in food here. There’s 串燒 and also sashimi, hot foods like udon and fried rice, and sushi rolls. I love their udon and fried rice. Their caterpillar rolls are pretty good, but definitely not as good as California rolls or US rolls. If it’s your birthday month, they will give you a free salmon caterpillar roll. But you must tell them ahead of time (when reserving), and the total must exceed 1000nt. The restaurant has 單點 and they also have an all you can eat option, but you must also tell then ahead of time. Lastly, I think the atmosphere is pretty okay. Good for a group of people, but definitely not the best for a date. It’s quite lively and loud, and the portions are great for sharing.

A fried rice is good, sashimi is so good, a lot of people here but counter seat is available.

Our family dined here twice over our 10 days stay in Taiwan. 浩浩 and 小 Ya helped cook our food and they were friendly and professional. First the food quality here is excellent. My 14 yr old is a picky eater and he approves the beef cuts here. He specially requested us to dine here the second time. For a family of 4, we ordered the 2 person set meal and added our preferences. Both shrimp and tofu salad is good. Our favorites are the various beef cuts and 黑白切。Their charcoal is well managed so no visible smoke and exhaust is well positioned. Our mesh grills also get frequently changed. I thought 浩浩 and/or 小 Ya cooking our food would be awkward but it wasn't. They stay out of the way but are also super friendly when engaged. They help make sure all the foods are cooked perfectly and accommodate our special requests. Highly recommended for couples, family, or friends gathering.
