Very pleased with overall dining experience! Restaurant decor and furnishing were elegant and comfortable. A/C was nice and strong (suitable for hot pot eating). Environment was very spacious, allowing lots of elbow room at the table, privacy between parties as well as neutralizing noise level. Food was excellent. We ordered the red mala broth and the non-spicy mushroom broth along with a beef platter and a variety of seafood, tofu, and vegetable options. The broths and broth ingredients were refilled repeatedly and generously. Service was very thoughtful, we received a lot of help with cooking the different components. The entire wait staff was friendly, polite, and very efficient. The dining time allowance was 90 minutes, which was more than sufficient for our party of 6. Minor complaint is bathroom was quite messy by the end of the evening, which marred an otherwise perfect dining outing for us, staff should prioritize keeping it clean/neat at all times. Overall, very happy with 青花驕. 中山北路 branch. Would return on next trip to TW. Thank you :)
