Having operated in Taiwan for over 20 years, it was once synonymous with high-end steak. Although the prices are not cheap, the high-quality beef has made many customers willing to pay. With the completion of the HSH headquarters building, the Ruth’s Chris Steak House branch in Zhongshan (3rd floor) has also opened here, and has enlisted the internationally acclaimed nArchitects, the firm behind the design of the Shanghai Bund Ruth’s Chris restaurant. Inspired by the “New Orleans skyline,” the design uses city silhouettes to create a visual focal point. Most notably, the column-free space, combined with flexible partitioning, can be transformed into a large Western-style banquet venue accommodating up to 150 people.

The beef used at Ruth’s Chris is all USDA Prime grade, and is wet-aged for 21 to 28 days to develop its unique flavor. To fully preserve the optimal taste of the steaks, the brand’s founder, Ruth Fertel, patented a specialized grill that reaches 982 degrees Celsius. Each steak is cooked to a precise level of doneness according to its cut and texture, then served on a heated ceramic plate maintained at 500 degrees Fahrenheit, sizzling as it arrives at the table. The steak is seasoned only with salt and pepper, with no sauces used. Due to the extremely high temperature of the plates, diners should be careful not to touch them during the meal.
 
In addition to top-quality tender beef, Ruth’s Chris also offers many New Orleans-inspired dishes, such as BBQ-style “New Orleans Shrimp,” sizzling lemon cream “New Orleans Crab Cake,” along with cheesecake and bread pudding served with whiskey sauce.
