[2025 Taichung Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Zhongyou Department Store (Updated May)

Address: 14th Floor, Building 14FA, No. 161, Section 3, Sanmin Road, North District, Taichung City, Taiwan 404 Atmosphere/Facilities: Spacious dining space, fruit and condiment self-service bar Features: Four-grid hot pot, special soup base, attentive service Price per person: NT$800 Rating: Haidilao is a medium-to-high-priced hot pot restaurant. Of course, it is also accompanied by warm and considerate service. Every time I dine at the restaurant, it's for the hairy beef tripe, thousand-layer tripe, yellow throat, crispy pork and Wanglaoji, because currently in Taichung, the only restaurant with the most consistent portion size, price and quality is Haidilao. Most of the braised tripe and tendons served at other hotpot restaurants are of very different quality. In addition, the fruits and side dishes in the condiment area are also great. The fruits are fresh, juicy and sweet, and the side dishes mainly include smoked tofu skin and shredded burdock, as well as a wide variety of ingredients and seasonings that can be freely matched. I personally think the rice is okay. Overall, dining at Haidilao gives people a very comfortable feeling. To me, it is not just a hotpot restaurant but a restaurant. There is rice, meat, vegetables and soup, and you can also season it yourself. I didn’t remember to pack some to eat again when I got home. #LocalTour #Haidilao

BBQ restaurants should be one of the must-eat choices when visiting Taichung, and Wu-Ma is a relatively famous BBQ restaurant. Some people say that it is a BBQ restaurant that was ruined by chicken soup, but I think that is wrong, because there are quite a lot of restaurants with delicious chicken soup nowadays. However, it is undoubted that it is the first BBQ restaurant that made its mark with chicken soup. This time I ordered the seasonal set meal from the Zhongyou store. Overall it's pretty standard, but... This time we got into trouble. We paid extra for the beef tongue rice bowl. The taste of this beef tongue is not what I imagined. How could it be braised? I went to a yakiniku restaurant to eat braised beef tongue rice, but the rice wasn't good either, it was really terrible. But the service was good, the restaurant manager sent a dessert and a drink. But for foodies, there is really no motivation to eat there again! 🕰️Business hours: 11:00-24:00 🏖️Atmosphere/Facilities: Nice environment 📍Address: No. 69, Yucai North Road, North District, Taichung City 404 💰Average consumption: $1000up 💞Recommendation reason: Taichung's first BBQ restaurant famous for its chicken soup 🗓️Itinerary: If you are going to eat yakiniku for the first time and don’t know which restaurant to go to #TaichungRestaurant #BBQ
