It works for family meals, gatherings with friends, or anyone looking for a hot-pot place where you can sit comfortably and eat to your heart's content.

Uncle's line: The risk with places like this is having a big name but not enough substance. What 時辣苑 does well is keep the meat, seafood, add-ins, and desserts strong enough that the meal never feels empty.
Good to know: The restaurant is on Huanbei Road in Zhongli, near the SOGO shopping area. Driving is fairly convenient, and there is a large paid parking lot across the road on Xinsheng Road. Orders are placed by QR CODE, and seating is spread across the first and second floors, giving the restaurant a roomy feel. It stays open late into the night, so later meals can also be arranged.
● Japanese A5 Wagyu

The strongest presence here is still the Japanese A5 Wagyu. The marbling looks convincing even before it hits the pot, and once swished, the texture is fine and soft with a more concentrated beef aroma. Meat like this does not need much embellishment; a simple quick cook is enough to show its strengths. It is the kind of dependable plate people reach for first when it arrives.

The Signature Mala Broth already comes with duck blood and tofu, so the base feels complete. The heat is not aggressive; it follows a gentler, more aromatic numbing-spice direction, which suits diners who want mala without being overwhelmed by chili. The broth is easy to drink and has enough body for meat slices and hot-pot ingredients without stealing all the attention.

If you want a stronger-flavored broth, the Cantonese Pepper Pork Tripe Broth is especially memorable. The soup is milky-white, with richness first, followed by pepper aroma and a mild kick. The flavor is more direct than you might expect, and there is a decent amount of pork tripe. Overall, it has real body and is a good choice if you like a broth with a strong presence.


時辣苑 • 和牛麻辣鍋 中壢店 (Shi La Yuan Wagyu Hot Pot — Zhongli) visit photo● Oxtail


Oxtail is the kind of dish that reveals cooking time and handling. Here it leans tender, with a smooth bite that does not turn dry or tough. The braised aroma and beef flavor come together naturally, making it a quieter item among a whole table of meats but one that tends to stay in memory after the meal.
