When you think of steak, what’s the first restaurant that comes to mind? With 17 years of history, TASTY Steak now has over 40 branches across Taiwan. Recently, the brand refreshed its interior by removing partitions and replacing them with spacious, bright round tables. The menu has also been revamped, featuring the return of classic appetizer “Shrimp & Asparagus” and dessert “Chocolate Bag Ice Cream,” along with the launch of a new “Cheesy Spicy Steak” aiming to win over diners’ taste buds.

Shrimp & Asparagus
Speaking of this Shrimp & Asparagus dish, its most iconic feature is the rich sauce. “The emerald-green asparagus, freshly peeled shrimp, paired with the thick yellow spice sauce underneath—it’s simply a perfect color palette!” wrote a netizen this year in a nostalgic post. TASTY Steak’s head chef Zheng Bingyin also revealed the dish’s preparation method: “Our curry yogurt sauce was developed and blended by us many years ago. To enhance the aroma, we roast the curry powder at high temperatures before blending it with handmade salad dressing and yogurt in precise proportions.”

Interestingly, many customers finish the appetizer’s shrimp and vegetables but, finding the sauce incredibly flavorful, use their toasted bread to mop up every last drop from the plate—much to the delight of the kitchen cleaning staff: “I love washing the appetizer plates because they’re always spotless!”

In addition to Shrimp & Asparagus, another classic returning after four years is the “Chocolate Bag Ice Cream.” Crispy spring roll wrappers encase sweet yet not cloying, rich, molten chocolate, paired with vanilla ice cream. The alternating hot and cold textures create a multi-layered flavor experience.

Cheesy Spicy Steak
TASTY updates its menu twice a year. This winter’s highlight is the “Cheesy Spicy Steak,” crafted from premium flat iron steak. High-heat grilling locks in the steak’s natural sweetness, and a single slice releases an explosion of juices. Paired with the chef’s special mushroom spicy sauce and cheese, it delivers a rich flavor with a hint of heat—perfect for spice-loving foodies.
