Why go
N°168 Prime Steakhouse (Zhongshan) is worth booking when the brief is a polished Taipei steakhouse dinner with a high-spend feel and Michelin Plate recognition. It is less compelling for a casual beef craving, where KR Prime Steak or MeatGQ may make more sense, but strong for business dinners, celebrations, wine-led steak nights in Zhongshan.
About N°168 Prime Steakhouse (Zhongshan)
In Taipei's steakhouse category, N°168 Prime Steakhouse (Zhongshan) is a high-price option for diners specifically looking for a steakhouse meal. Its basics are direct: steakhouse cuisine, $$$$ pricing, smart-casual dress, Michelin Plate recognition in 2024. If the goal is to compare premium steakhouse options, cross-shop KR Prime Steak or MeatGQ as part of the same decision.
For location planning, treat it simply as a Taipei reservation. The practical decision should rest on the cuisine, price tier, dress code, hours, whether this is the right kind of steakhouse meal for the occasion.
Choose it for a premium steakhouse meal, not a spontaneous cheap dinner
The value proposition is clearest when the table wants steakhouse cuisine and is comfortable with a $$$$ spend. The Michelin Plate recognition gives it a useful quality signal without requiring any further assumptions about menu format, service style, or the room. That makes it a better fit for diners who want a premium steakhouse choice in Taipei than for anyone looking for a lower-cost meal.
The hours include both midday and evening service: Monday through Friday from 12–3 PM and 5:30–10 PM, Saturday through Sunday from 11:30 AM–3 PM and 5:30–10 PM. Use those hours as the planning frame, then confirm current availability before going.
This is not the choice for diners who are not in the mood for steakhouse cuisine or $$$$ pricing. For broader dining research, the full Taipei restaurants guide is the better planning tool. But for a traveler or local who specifically wants a recognized steakhouse in Taipei, the pitch is simple: consider it when the occasion fits the category and price tier.
Where it fits against Taipei's other steakhouses
Against A Cut, Danny's Steakhouse, Fresh & Aged, N°168 Prime Steakhouse (Zhongshan) belongs in the premium steakhouse conversation. The decision should come down to availability, preferred timing, price comfort, which restaurant best fits the group.
If steak is only one night in a broader Taipei plan, pair this decision with the city guides instead of forcing every meal into the same spend level. The Taipei hotels guide can help with trip planning, while the Taipei bars guide is useful for planning the rest of the evening around a reservation.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
N°168 Prime Steakhouse presents an elevated, intentionally pitched dining experience that favors restraint over spectacle. Sitting on the fourth floor of a Zhongshan building, the restaurant makes arrival part of the ritual — a lift, a threshold and an immediate ambient shift away from the street below. The room design and formal register align with Taipei’s top‑tier Western‑format steakhouses: quiet, focused and exacting. Michelin Plate recognition underscores the kitchen’s seriousness, and the overall impression is of a modern yet classic steakhouse that invites concentrated attention on precise cooking and premium cuts rather than casual bustle.
Best For
This is a dinner destination for people seeking a composed, high‑end steakhouse evening. It suits date nights, business dinners and milestone celebrations where formality and quality matter. Situated in Zhongshan’s commercial and hospitality corridor, the restaurant draws a cosmopolitan dinner crowd and functions as a deliberate alternative to more frenetic dining zones. Guests who value a quieter room, direct attention from staff, and an emphasis on top‑grade beef will find N°168 aligned with special‑occasion expectations and the paced rhythm of Taipei’s $$$$ dining tier.
Ordering Tips
Focus your order on the flagship steaks that define the program. The menu highlights high‑grade options — US Kobe ribeye, Australian W9+ ribeye, Japanese Miyazaki A5 Wagyu and a dry‑aged ribeye — and choosing one of these signature cuts lets the kitchen’s strengths be the evening’s centerpiece. Given the restaurant’s placement in Taipei’s premium steakhouse tier and Michelin Plate recognition, expect careful execution; order the premium wagyu or the dry‑aged ribeye to directly assess the house’s aging and butchery approach.

Where to look if this is full
Try A Cut or Danny's Steakhouse first if the goal is another Taipei steakhouse in the same premium bracket. Both keep the decision close to the original brief: steak, higher spend, a planned dinner.
For a more cost-conscious steak night, KR Prime Steak and MeatGQ are the better backups. They suit diners who want the category without committing to the same level of spend.
