Giguo

Always have fresh vegetables available. Every branch has been amazing ! Always have good experiences with this chain.

This was the first time I had Japanese hot pot. It's a bit disorienting, but the easiest way is to go for the single person set menu. Then you'd be asked to 1. pick the main entree out of choices of 5 (beef, low fat beef, pork, chicken, or seafood) 2. pick a broth out of choices 5 (I picked kelp with herbs which was quite nice) 3. Then the confusing one: the vegetable platter comes with 3 different kinds of "pastes" to pick from. Think of these as grounded raw meats. The meats or seafood pastes came on a half open pipe with a mini spatula to scrape the meat into the boiling broth. I had to ask what to do with them! The fish paste came in plastic bags with corner cut off so you can squeeze them much like cake icing. 4. Next, you pick either rice or noodles. I don't recommend rice unless your broth is super spicy. 5. Then the drink. I strongly recommend the smoothie because the other two choices are hot tea which is superfluous to the broth, which is already more than plenty. 6. And finally the dessert. You can't go wrong, but if you had smoothie for drink you might want to settle with sesame puddling instead of the red bean shaved ice, Everyone gets a small shot of cold plum vinegar drink which is really quite refreshing. The sensation is similar to champagne sorbet at a good Italian restaurant. Everything came at the same time except for dessert. Unlike Chinese hot pots, the dipping sauces are premixed for you. You get both the peanut paste based sauce and the radish based sauce. In my opinion, they're both quite lame compared to the Chinese varieties. Set menu is NT$398 pp. 10% service fee is automatically added to the bill, which is not common in Taiwan, but considering a amount of items they have to bring to the table, it's well justified. I had a great experience here as my last meal before concluding my Taiwan visit.

Everything I come to Taipei, this is my most favorite dinner place with buddies! Have been here for lunches and dinners many times since it’s opening 15 years! Mid ranged price but very quality. Vegetarian can also have a good meal here. Yummy, yummy! Surely will come again next time!

-Expensive -Milk hotpot is the bomb! -All you can eat veggies and drinks -Get calpis mixed with melon slusher, straight bomb diggity -The milk ice cream is good! -90 minutes time limit

Though it is located on the B1floor, the bright decor felt comfortable. Specializing in Hokaido soup base hot pot with various bases. The milk with cheese soup base had particularly good flavor, especially when it came with a cow shaped melting milk, cute idea. With all you can eat vegetables, drinks and deserts, this was a popular restaurant. The meats though was average. Ok CP. Service was good.

It’s an semi buffet hot pot restaurant. You only need to choose a main dish, and others are unlimited! The unlimited dishes including a variety of vegetables, rice, noodles, drinks, and ice cream! Moreover, the quality of food is great! Staffs are friendly! We had a great time here.

Hot-pot buffet option newly added to the menu in Giguo. You can eat all the veggie/ noodles/ sweets of your owned choice. Great value to the price paid. Newly decorated dine-in environment. Good for gathering.

Great place for hot pot. Very clean. Employees very helpful and friendly. The beef was amazing. Unfortunately, they have a silly 90-minute time limit which ruined the dining experience. ☹️ Get rid of the 90-minute limit and I’ll probably eat here every week. ?
