Ponderosa

Very popular with families, kids, and students. They're taking a lot more precautions during Covid-19 times. Everyone must wear gloves at the buffet and hand sanitizer is everywhere. The buffet sides are ok. Soup tastes freshly made, garlic bread is good, tortillas are a nice touch. There was pumpkin pie, it didn't have any cinnamon tho. Steaks were pretty average. If you compare the price with other buffets it's not a great deal.

Delicious steak This course come with buffet appetizer, salad and drink

Overall it's a pretty good place if you can fit all the food in your stomach unlike me:) the steak was quite red for medium and also fatty. Limited amount of desserts that also taste plain. You can find some mexican food there though . All the ice cream was almost done so it took us ages to scoop it out.

Ponderosa Steakhouse is an American chain restarant. It offers "all you can eat" with an order of main steak dish. The steak, and the chicken steak at this location was good. Everything on the "all you can eat" bar was good also. For its size in Taipei City, it has a cosy atmosphere feel. Their services are professional but relaxed in a none intrusive way. Good for couples or a group of friends to enjoy.

i like the tomato, its make with good grill. i guess the chief use special steel tongs for cook tomato. when I see the tomato, it's have a aluminum foil. and look like jujbe paste that means very soft

Ponderosa is a place to have delicious food at a reasonable rate. They offer all you can eat buffet in NT 379 which is good. Secondly, the place is great for vegetarians.

My review is for the Ponderosa Steak House located in the Taipei New Horizon Building. Knowing the "culture" of buffets in Asia where I have lived most of my life I should have known better. My friends and I were going to Eslite Art House Cinema on 3/13/2022 which is in the same building. The choices are slim either a tea house which does not take reservations or a food hall (which I love) but is packed the minute it opens especially on a Sunday. The place was full at 11 am for lunch so thankfully I had made reservations. Their policy is ridiculous as you need to pay in advance, even what type of steak you plan to order, and you are not seated until your entire party has arrived. I said NO WAY and was seated. The serve yourself unlimited buffet was soups, salads, fruits, hot foods, desserts and beverages provided you can get near it. The "culture" is to pile up your plates as though it was The Last Supper. You must wear a mask and plastic gloves which I respect but hard to manage if you are lucky enough to get any food. The refills are slow in coming some with labels others with no labels and if you are lucky to find a bowl or plate to put your food on even better. Guess the dishwasher was broken or his day off. Now for the steak. We all ordered filet beef to be medium pink inside no blood as that is the way to order filet beef. What we finally got was over cooked black rocks that only a dog would eat. The service was atrocious, the dirty dishes were piled up on tables (some people were reusing their soup bowls and dinner plates for deserts) and a bill for ntd$2000. After the movie we passed the restaurant and the line to get in was all the way back to the bathrooms and elevators. Good luck people and off we went to Mc Donald's for a happy meal which was far better than anything Ponderosa had to offer.

Absolutely delicious grilled steak. The baked potato is uniquely tasty and the buffet area has a wide variety. I will visit this restaurant again and again.
