White Beard Steak (NTHU Branch): Crowd-Pleasing, Affordable Steak

There's often a wait at dinnertime, so remember to grab a number ticket. The indoor space is fairly roomy, with air conditioning and a restroom, so dining here is quite comfortable. It draws lots of students and office workers, and with staff delivering meals it gets a little noisy, but nothing too bothersome.

Thick-Cut Sirloin Steak, Soup, and Garlic Bread

The sirloin steak portion is decent, and it comes with an egg and sizzling-plate noodles — a moderate serving overall. With some bread on the side I can get very full, but big eaters might find it not quite enough. In that case, order a double portion or just load up on more garlic bread!
