“Worth a visit if your visiting Kaohsiung”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

Foremost, you will need to make an advance reservation. This restaurant is popular so just walking in may have you leaving to look for an alternate place to dine. My understanding is there are two seatings for dinner. I went early with a party of 12 for a business function. NT1300/person for a 5 course meal. The steak was tasty and cooked to order. The rest of the meal was excellent - nothing to fault with regard to the food.

Wine service was substandard. It seemed to take ages for them to bring the correct bottle and we were well into dinner before the correct bottle arrived. Just an observation, but it appears there is not much wine being consumed at Wang Steak. Odd, as they have a floor to ceiling wall display with perhaps 200 plus bottles - its just that they are all the exact same bottle of cabernet. Let's just say the wine menu here is limited at best.

I did not care for the white glove table side service - it really seemed a bit over the top for a $40 meal. Perhaps it appeals to the locals who might rightly be concerned about the personal hygiene of the staff.

Wrap-up: Give it a try if your hungry for a steak. It is good dinning experience and no doubt you will certainly be leaving here overfed. However, Ruth's is certainly a more traditional steakhouse from an American point of view - although at 3 to 4 times the cost of Wang's Steak. Or, OB seems popular with local westerners and does a reasonably nice job meeting our expectations when searching for a steak in KHH.

“Wow - best steak I have had in a long time. I would never have expected that in Taiwan.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2012

I am used to the 1-1/4" strip steaks i cook on the grill in the backyard, and usually leave a steak house disappointed, but not here. For $44, we got a real multi-course meal - Salad, soup, entree, vegetable and fruit, dessert, and after dinner juice. The meat was cooked just as I like it, barely warm in the center - you can't find that many places in the US anymore. I wish my wife had been with me instead of our purchasing agent, as it is exactly the kind of place she would enjoy.

“Good food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 29, 2012

The price is reasonable, and the serving are huge. Basically is a 5 course dinner. Service is great, and if you go there, you must have the Wang's steak. It's a must try.

“Unbelievable value and quality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 20, 2012

Taiwan is famous for its open air restaurants and night markets. But when you want something a little more upscale, Wang Steak is a must. It's a small chain of high end restaurants specializing in a beef of superb quality. I went to one for the first time recently and was amazed by the attentive service, excellent food, and incredible value.
It's a set 4 course meal, with 3 or 4 options for each course, each beautifully presented. The first is a choice of seafood or vegetable appetizers, the second is soup or salad. The main course is a choice of different cuts of beef, including the Wang Steak, a bone-in cut that is marinated for two days, and like the beef tenderloin, the veal chop, and the shank, is so tender it almost melts in the mouth. Desserts are equally fabulous. What isn't on the menu are the value-added extras such as the welcome champagne cocktail, and an extravagant fruit plate following the meat course. Unbelievably, the entire cost of the dinner is 1300NT, which is about $43. in Canadian or US dollars. The restaurant is very attractive, a set of small rooms divided by floor to ceiling wine racks, creating a cozy setting. Our server was lovely and spoke very good English. For non-beef eaters, there is a poultry option which also looks very good. Check out their website for more details.
