✨ AI Quick Take

菁選涮涮鍋|海鮮火鍋專賣|南屯店 focuses on live seasonal seafood, from snow crab to geoduck, in a bright Japanese hot-pot setting. It suits careful seafood meals, groups, meat plates, and a rice finish.

Uncle's take: Live seafood depends on defensible freshness, not a long list of tricks.
Setting and atmosphere:The tank and season matter more than adjectives. The bright room works for pairs and groups; sauces, drinks, ice cream, and broth are self-service. Mind cooking times at the table and keep seafood simple.
Location and dining notes:Current address: 台中市南屯區永春東路898-3號, phone 0925-215-575. The former 惠文路336-1號 address is obsolete. Live seafood varies by season, catch, and reservations; call before seeking snow crab or geoduck.
● Live Snow Crab Set for Two

A whole seasonal snow crab joins squid, abalone, oysters, clams, grouper, Hokkaido scallops, and prawns. Brief cooking preserves delicate spring, direct crab juice, and sweetness.

Uncle's take: Lift cooked crab once; fullness and sweetness cannot be faked.
● Live Hokkaido Geoduck, Two Ways

Sashimi is full, clean, crisp, and springy. Brief blanching adds tenderness and smoothness while retaining bite, concentrating fresh sea flavor.

● Fourfold Salmon-Roe Onsen-Egg Rice Bowl

Salmon roe nearly covers rice around an onsen egg. Briny bursts lead, then egg rounds the flavor, creating a substantial but balanced hot-pot companion.

● Double Century-Egg Fish-Roe Rice Bowl

Century egg richness meets popping flying-fish roe over rice. Salty, smooth, and grainy textures give personality without overwhelming the pot.

💡 Ordering note

For two diners, start with live crab and cook briefly; use geoduck two ways for comparison. Alternate salty seafood rice with light broth instead of rushing it.

  • Location:Currently at 台中市南屯區永春東路898-3號; the old Huiwen Road shop is no longer used.
  • Type:Live seafood, shabu-shabu, meat plates, and seafood rice bowls.
  • Highlights:Seasonal live crab and geoduck, plus self-service drinks and sauces.
  • Best for:Freshness-focused diners, limited catches, and pair or group hot-pot meals.

📌 Editor's wrap-up

Live seafood freshness, hot pot, meat, and rice create a complete meal. The restaurant honestly serves the sea's sweetness and spring in a warm-pot atmosphere.
