Beef Chief rose from humble beginnings in 1996 as a street stall selling beef soup. Now it serves shabu-shabu hotpot using freshly slaughtered beef shipped from Tainan daily. The amber soup base is made with beef bones, veggies and fruits, boasting subtle sweetness. Apart from being served in hotpot, beef cuts and offal are available as stir-fries – try stir-fried beef tendon. Excellent value and friendly service also explain its popularity.
