Zhongqing Road, Wanban Bar, Yakitori Town

Address: No. 1111, Section 2, Zhongqing Road, Beitun District, Taichung City, Taiwan 40761 Atmosphere/Facilities: The only skatepark pub in Taiwan Features: Craftsman skewers Price per person: 1,000 yuan Rating: When a friend from out of town came to visit, he casually mentioned the new white skewer shop on Zhongqing Road. How was the food? I was full of questions at first, but I decided to find some time to check out the store. The store is not big, with about five tables full, but there is an exaggerated paddle board area in the back toilet smoking area that can accommodate 50 tables. According to the boss, this venue cost about one million yuan. I admire them from the bottom of my heart. If they didn't have faith, how could they give up the business space with 50 tables and spend millions to build a free venue for customers to use. The first time I visited the store was in 2019, yes, before the epidemic. The dish that impressed me the most was the pork and taro skewers (I forgot the name of the dish). Unfortunately, when I visited again later, the boss said that this dish was too labor-intensive to make! Discontinued! That is the final sound! Next is the smooth and mellow draft beer, which costs about 150 yuan per glass, and the dishes are around 70-100 yuan. Not a lot of servings! Most of them are at the consumption level of eating conveyor belt sushi. If alcoholic beverages are not consumed with staple food, the average per capita consumption is about 1,000 yuan. It was considered mid-priced in 2019, but during my second visit, prices had skyrocketed in 2022. Apart from the reduction in meal size and a slight increase in dishes, prices remained mid-range. I don't drink draft beer! The average price per person remains the same if you switch to drinking from a large glass bottle. The only thing that puzzled me when I visited again this time was the great depression and soaring prices caused by the epidemic. How can the boss still remain standing with such a small number of tables? Except for a few delicious special dishes, they were cancelled. Basically, there is not much change in the price of consumption patterns. #Skewer Izakaya #Taichung Store Exploration #Izakaya
