Taichung BBQ Restaurant Kawara Chi Japanese BBQ

Address: No. 66, Section 3, Meichuan West Road, North District, Taichung City, Taiwan 404 Atmosphere/Facilities: Japanese izakaya, bar dining, Japanese decor Features: Japanese-style barbecue, grilling by the staff, charcoal barbecue Price per person: 1500 yuan Rating: At the intersection of Meichuan West Road and Taiyuan Road, there are many roadside parking spaces, but they are often hard to find. There is a self-service private parking lot next to the nearby convenience store! The exterior is decorated like a high-end izakaya, with many lanterns on the walls as decorations! The dining area is a bar counter, and there are also a variety of sakes in the back! I feel like you must order sake when you eat yakiniku here. Of course you're welcome. Take a seat and have a pot of iced sake first🍶! The clerk will bring a bunch of glasses for you to choose a style of wine glass you like! Then we looked at the menu and started ordering. The dishes were à la carte. Hormone-grilled meats (offal, cartilage, large intestine, diaphragm, etc.) were recommended, and vegetables (corn shoots, wax gourd, Penghu squash, etc.) were all good! The rest is up to personal preference! The waiter places a charcoal stove in front of the customer to grill the food. Basically, just relax, enjoy it and then pay the bill! The store’s ingredients are well controlled and fresh! The real problem was the waiter on that day! Sasha and I visited the restaurant several times. Maybe it’s because the turnover rate in the restaurant industry is high. Although there are some familiar faces among the staff, there are also a large number of unfamiliar faces! Excellent service staff will observe the dining progress of the customers in front of them, serve the food at the right time and replenish water and seasonings🧂! Basically, it's comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable! Perfect Japanese BBQ and thoughtful service! There were a few times when we felt that the service staff just wanted to serve the food and call it a day. We were like pigs being fed, hoping that they would quickly let us finish our meal, pay the bill and leave! The dining experience was rushed and awkward. The table is full of food, and it becomes unpalatable when it gets cold! I recommend the salted shallots and onions provided by the store! Although the quality has deteriorated during subsequent visits, it is still not unpalatable! Too lazy to refill rice, onions, and salted shallots! You can order staff meals! The store will help you match it! The yakiniku goes well with white rice or staff meal! #Japanese-style barbecue #Taichung #Kawaharachi #Izakaya
