“The beef sukiyaki set combines sliced meat, mushrooms, vegetables, and fried oysters, with a sweet-savory sauce made for rice. The pork cutlet with soft egg is gentler, using tender egg and onion. Together with the restaurant’s origin in feeding staff well, it makes a good complete Japanese meal when spending time in Zhongli.”

THE STORY

The story behind this place

A dining room created so the team could sit down and eat properly

The name 員工食堂 comes from a desire to take care of staff meals. 坐著做 hoped its team members could sit down comfortably here, recharge, and have a place to eat together. The dining room is also open to regular guests, extending that idea of eating properly into everyday life through Japanese set meals built around rice, a main dish, and sides.

Uncle’s line: A set-meal shop lives or dies on fundamentals. If the main is steady and the sides are handled with care, you can tell the kitchen is serious about the business.

● Beef Sukiyaki Set

This set follows a balanced sweet-savory sukiyaki profile. The sauce is flavorful, and eating it with sliced meat, mushrooms, and vegetables makes it especially friendly to anyone who likes rice. The portion is satisfying and does not rely on sauce alone to create impact. Pickled sides and green salad help complete the rhythm of the meal, and the fried oysters add a little surprise and another layer of texture.

The Pork Cutlet with Soft Egg Set takes a gentler route. The cutlet softens after simmering in broth, so it is easy to eat rather than dry or tough. Tender egg on top brings a familiar homestyle quality reminiscent of Japanese rice-bowl comfort food. There is plenty of onion, and its aroma comes through. Mixed with rice, the whole set is straightforward, unfussy, and very easy to keep eating.

💡 A small note on the experience

If you are coming for a particular set, weekday-afternoon availability and the day’s service flow are worth checking. Arriving before it gets too late usually gives a more relaxed meal. This type of Japanese set is especially suitable when you want a main, sides, and rice all taken care of at once, whether at lunch or later in the afternoon.

  • The restaurant is around Zhongli SOGO, with convenient transport and daily amenities nearby.
  • The focus is Japanese set meals built as complete plates with a main, side dishes, and rice.
  • Beef Sukiyaki Set and Pork Cutlet with Soft Egg Set are two representative choices.
  • The room is not large, but it includes both a tatami area and regular tables and feels warm and welcoming.
  • Suitable for nearby office workers, diners looking for Japanese set meals, and anyone who prefers a calm, complete meal.

📌 Editor’s take

坐著做。員工食堂 is not built around flashy packaging. It simply keeps the essentials of a set meal steady, from the main to the sides, with the grounded comfort of a Japanese dining room. If you are around Zhongli SOGO and want a Japanese set-meal shop where you can sit quietly and eat, it belongs on the shortlist. If you happen to catch a weekday-afternoon promotion, the visit can feel even more worthwhile.
