I like the options of one big pot or small individual pots. The big pot can have up to 3 broth choices. The meat and veggie selection is not huge. Some of the items were out when we were there. It ends up being a bit more pricy as the items adds up quickly. The place do allow BYOB so stop by next door first.

I was expecting a compromise of the number of dishes, but to my surprise there was really solid selection and ingredients were really top notch. And because this is not the big city, the prices are reasonable. Even medium was a little too spicy for me, so I might start with mild and you can add chili do your taste. Thank you Shiquan Hot Pot for being a nice oasis of authentic hot pot. Service was basic and efficient, and definitely got the job done. I would go back if I were around here more often.

The pork intestines were a little smelly within some bites. Some part was cooked okay while there was literally salt on the other part. Rice tasted not good as other places. Price is even higher than the other authentic Chinese restaurants. Sorry but I give a 3/5, and I won't order again.

Oh wow. Get yourself the Three Cup Chicken!…read more Today we ordered the chicken and Taiwanese Shrimp Rolls. The rolls were very mild and the meat and vegetables were minced very finely which made the whole thing a bit soggy. But the chicken was fantastic. Many flavors at this restaurant are muted, but not in the Three Cup Chicken. It tasted boldly of sesame and rice vinegar, with large pieces of ginger, garlic, and basil strewn liberally throughout. Highly recommend!

For the first time we ordered some fish, napa cabbage and rice cake with meat stir fry. Food was just standard. Serving size was huge however. The rice cake dish was indeed too salty. Next time I took my Japanese friend there hoping to experience some Chinese hotpot culture. The service waiter said we could only grab food for 1.5 hours, unfortunately it turned out that we must leave after 1.5 hours, and if there's something we haven't finished we need to pay extra. Very confusing and upsetting rules. Besides the hotpot cooked food slowly so we did not have the opportunity to enjoy a wide variety of food. So in general the restaurant is just so so. May not go there anymore.

The lady at the counter was so helpful since it's my first time. Basically you get a bowl, pick your protein and veggies, they make it for you with different sauce.

It was mind numbing, mouth numbingly good. I'm a total Chinese food snob and I love this place!

We ordered the fried kimchi with pork belly from the appetizer menu, and it was absolutely delicious. It had the perfect balance of sweetness with just a little spice. We also tried the dumplings, which were great, but the dipping sauce really stood out, it made the dish even better. For our mains, we got the army stew and the kimchi soft tofu stew, and both were so flavorful and satisfying. The woman who took our picture was hilarious. Highly recommend this place, we'll definitely be back soon!

The hearty noodles were chewy with a slight taste of rice -- neither too refined nor over cooked. The beef broth brought the dish's rich taste and gave it some depth, while the bok choy and green onions in the soup were fresh and crispy. Even though the chili oil was a treat, it overpowered the broth and veggies so that I'd consider omitting it from the order. The restaurant was crowded with lunch-goers when I stopped in, but the turnaround on my order was fast. If you need a bite and want something simple and well made, his could be your spot.
