Restaurant details
Reviewed 5 November 2019

We came to this restaurant because we had eaten at the other Risotto location and enjoyed it--and the sweet young Golden Retriever who we met there. The staff at the other location told us that an older Retriever lived in this location, so we came here to see him. The food here was the same as the other location--risotto with a choice of different sauces and meats, along with different side dishes--but the setting is a bit more cramped than the other location. And, sorry to say, the staff is not as nice as the other location (that's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5). But the resident canine is a really good fellow. We heard he is 17 years old. He moves a bit slowly, but he is quite friendly and seemed to enjoy posing for pictures.

There is a dog in the restaurant that belongs to the place. We were 4 people and we called the waiter to just take the dog away from the door because one of us was scared of dogs. The waitress was very rude and said the dog will stay in the shop regardless, As if saying we don’t care about you entering or not. Very disrespectful.
Staff’s attitude was very rude not welcoming at all.
The food was acceptable overall but the soup was so diluted, the attitude kind of ruined our meal

Ps. The waitress even raised her voice at the costumers

The set comes with rice, soup, milk tea and garlic bread..soup, milk tea and garlic bread are very nice but the rice taste average only.most important able to see the dog roaming around the restaurant certainly made the atmosphere pretty enjoyable..

Everyone in this place especially the waitress has such bad attitude that one would think you owe them something. Quite unbelievable such a long time restaurant in the busiest Taipei tourist spot Ximending is this awful.
Food taste way below average too.
Maybe Taiwan tourism authority should look into encouraging better service standards at tourist spots. The service and warmth of Taiwan has dropped drastically from 6 years ago
