Hong Lu Steak House

I have to say this steak restaurant is not so recommended. We had a terrible experience there because there was hair in one of our dishes. The waiter informed the manager, but he didn't do anything at all and didn't even apologize for serving food with hair in it. Anyway it is one of the worst restaurants I've ever been to.

Traditional Taiwan style steakhouse, still preserves the "flare" of one of the earliest western style restaurants in Taiwan. Pretty good steak but not great. Professional wait staff.

Price range from NT 600 to NT 2000. A little bit expensive but considering it's location, the price of food is still ok though. The dining atmosphere here is vintage-related, old fashion steak house in downtown Taipei.

This is a classic, traditional upscale Taiwan-style steakhouse. This is no Ruth's Chris, but it's cosy, the wait staff are friendly and professional, and the food is tasty and plentiful. The table had crisp veggie sticks and thousand island dressing to keep the kids busy while we ordered. A steak or rack of lamb came with French onion soup, hot bread rolls, salad and a pudding. Steaks are served sizzling on a very hot steel plate.

Regular old school steakhouse fare. Boring but done well and the beef is top quality. Took me back to 1972, cut vegetables with Thousand Island dressing for dipping, green salad (also with Thousand Island if you want it, I had Italian dressing on mine) and French onion soup with some cheese on bread on top. About as old school as it can get. But wait! There is more, nicely grilled steak, medium rare as ordered, served with a bit of brocolli, tomato and baked yam on a sizzling hot metal platter. Your choice of black pepper sauce or mushroom sauce if you like and a custard dessert as is the Taiwan standard in such places. The steak was really tasty and tender, nicely seasoned and cooked. Service was good,; efficient, polite and steady. English in the menu too for those not able to manage 中文。Decor was old school steakhouse style as everything else. But boring...this style of steakhouse died a long time ago in north America and elsewhere but keeps on keeping on in Taiwan. The Hong Lu Steakhouse is one of many in Taipei but one of the better options in a nice location. A real treat would be to see some of these tired old spaces where they have a capable kitchen team, like the Hong Lu, update the decor to this century and do the same with the menu.

Old school steakhouse. No fancy dish and service but steak is good.

This is an old steak house in Taipei, serving a wide variety of high quality steak. Staff is professional and friendly. However, it seems to lose its popularity over time.

Dining environment could be better, there are flys flying around... As for food, the onion soup is a spot on, yet the main dish steak is a bit disappointing. It's also my first time seeing rice as the side.
