One of its most distinctive features is the inclusion of Thai herbs and spices in hot pot broths (NT$70-250). Whether you choose the tangy, appetizing Thai Spicy-and-Sour Soup or rich, creamy Coconut Milk broth, you can enjoy the fragrant aromas of natural ingredients such as lemongrass, galangal and kaffir lime leaves. You can also add a Copper Grill (NT$10) to your meal, with meat selections (NT$390-850) including Beef Short Ribs, Iberico Pork, New Zealand Lamb, and Cherry Duck. As meat is grilled, savory juices slowly drip over the rim, enriching the broth with additional flavors and allowing you to enjoy the best of both barbecue and hotpot in one meal. Both set meals include a vegetable platter and complimentary ice pop.

As Yizhuan's original flagship location, the Caotun branch preserves the spirit and character of the family's initial venture. With its relaxing rural surroundings, it's filled with warmth, hospitality and a charming rustic atmosphere that loyal customers appreciate. Another branch later opened in Beitun District (featured in November 2024 Compass) presents a more modern dining environment while continuing to showcase the signature Thai spicy-and-sour flavors that have made this brand so popular.

其中一項最獨特的特色是將泰式香料的層次融入火鍋湯頭(70-250元)之中。無論是酸辣開胃的泰式酸辣火鍋,或是香濃順口的椰奶風味湯頭,都能品嚐到香茅、南薑、檸檬葉等天然香料所帶來的迷人香氣。另可搭配銅盤燒烤(10元),肉品包含:牛小排、伊比利豬、紐西蘭羊、櫻桃鴨……等(390-850元),在烤製過程中所樣次的鮮甜精華緩緩流入鍋中,讓湯頭更加濃郁,也賦予一次享受燒烤與火鍋兩種美味。燒烤或火鍋套餐皆附菜盤與冰棒。

作為品牌的創始店,草中店保留了最初創業時的精uelein與特色。店面位於草中較為悠閒的環境中,充滿濃厚的人情味與鄉村氣圍,許多老顧客喜歡這種自在放鬆的感覺。而後來開設於北中的泰式火鍋店(請見2024年11月期刊),則是在兼為時尚的餐飲,環境延續了招牌酸辣香的風味。
