I came here again several months after my original review. We arrived on a Saturday around 7pm and there was a 30min wait. They have a waitlist system at the front counter which sends you text notification when ready. The eel claypot rice is just as amazing as always. *Black Bean Sauce Grass Carp Clay Pot: Amazing dish, with charred garlic & bean sauce on the bottom giving incredible flavor. The fish came in large bone-in chunks, with large bone pieces that were easy to remove. It's the same kind of cut of fish that you'd see in traditional Cá Kho Tộ (the closest thing in Viet food that I can compare this to, but it's not similar because the version at Zhe Zhe pot is not a particularly "wet" dish). *Stir Fried Water Spinach with Fermented Tofu & Chili: normally I'm not a huge fan of the fermented tofu but they balanced that fermented flavor so well with the veggies & chili. The water spinach was crunchy and still bright & zesty despite being nicely stir fried. It's a trek if you're coming from other boroughs, but so worth the trip as long as you arrive early. read more

For a restaurant that specializes in claypot, it was a tad disappointing that there's only six dishes that are actually cooked in the pot giving you the crispy bottom. Instead, the rest of the menu consists of dishes where the food is cooked separately and then plated into a claypot. Anyways, I was still excited to try and ordered the Classic Claypot Rice with Cured Meat ($17.95) and Stewed Beef Brisket ($25.95). I didn't order rice separately because I thought I'd have lots of rice from the classic claypot, but this dish took so much longer to come out. We ended up eating most of the stewed beef by itself. The beef was tender and daikons were flavorful, but 1/3 of the dish was chunks of ginger. I cannot believe how much ginger was in this pot; it was probably an entire root of ginger that I filtered through. When the cured meat claypot finally came, the meat to rice ratio was not that great. They also slice the meats so thinly, so you're not getting that much. We also enjoyed a Thai Tea ($5.95) and Sugarcane Tea with Water Chestnut & Lemongrass ($5.95). The drinks were good and I wish they gave more. Overall, the claypot yummy flavor-wise, but not worth the price since they really skimp on you. Be sure to note that the classic claypots take much longer to be served too. Tip: For the classic claypots, let the edges continue cooking until cool, so you get that crispy rice on the outside layer. read more

Cuisine: 6 Service: 6 Decor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 6 I really had high hopes for this restaurant since my group all love clay pot rice. Unfortunately, it did not live up to our expectations. Even though the menu shows endless variations of clay pot items, our first disappointment was that only six were with rice. The other items were just food cooked in a clay pot or possibly simply served in a clay pot. This was definitely a letdown. With that said, I was still excited about a good clay pot rice. Sadly, their version of Preserved Meat Clay Pot Rice lacked a nice crispy crust on the bottom. It was there somewhat on the bottom, but the sides of the clay pot barely had any crispy rice. However, the rest of the rice was too firm. The preserved meats were okay, but nothing special and did not enhance the rice as much as expected. Lastly, their soy sauce was below average for me. We actually enjoyed the Shallot & Sand Ginger Chicken Clay Pot more. That was quite flavorful and the chicken was yummy. However, though the pot looked large, I expected more chicken. Instead, there was a layer of small onion bulbs underneath to boost the appearance of the dish. Lastly, their Beef Chow Fun was overall good, but many small mistakes. The noodles could be a bit smoother and needed slightly more flavor. It also needs more onions or bean sprouts for crunch factor, and the beef was somewhat tough and dry. When the best thing we had was their Sugar Cane Drink, it's unlikely I will be back. Too bad. Always looking for a great clay pot rice in NYC. This place did not make the list. read more

Zhe Zhe Pot specializes for the clay pot dishes/rice. I love the concept prior to the meal they give you a complimentary soup ("Lai Tong"). Overall the flavoring and the dishes are pretty good but sometimes I notice texture of food may not be as tender, I'm assuming because it gets so busy and that items take longer to cook (example : white radish or chestnut). On the weekends evenings (dinner time) expect a longer wait time. Service is usually very good and efficient. read more

Came here when it just opened and it slowly got packed. The tables are modern with a clean dining area. Ordered cured meat clay pot and it was tasty, I really like their rice l, how it's grainy and fluffs up nicely. The ratio and flavor is also very well balanced. The black pepper cube was tasty, and most of the beef was tender; wish the bell peppers and onions were more cooked though. The salty fish eggplant was a bit of a disappointment, while being too oily and sharing this with a friend, I didn't get a single piece of salty fish. The service was kind and we had unlimited refill on our cup of tea. I also didn't get the complimentary soup that other reviewers mention which was a bit sad. read more

Food: 4/5 Price: 3/5 Been here a few times now and we enjoyed the food here. "Zhe Zhe" is a style of cooking/serving food in a claypot... which was introduced to us during our family visits in Hong Kong, years ago. lol surprised it finally made it to Brooklyn. The aesthetic is cafe like, with booth seatings and a few scattered tables for 2, 4, 6 and a big one for family. Service is fine, efficient, brings out your food and drinks, refills water. Dishes come out much faster than "claypot" rice. So keep that in mind. We've had their signature fried rice, with some diced preserved meats & lettuce heart, my son loved it. The bottom is crispy and delish. As for the Zhe Zhe - tried the chicken wings (nice flavor, but careful with loose small bones! Death trap for teeth!); the pepper beef was smokey and tender, the pork ribs with star fruit was quite good. Salted fish with eggplant - can't go wrong, always a hit. For veggies - we've tried the Tong Choy and Choy Faa, - I would say it's ok. The Tong Choy is better at regular restaurants with the "wok hay". The Choy Faa... was drown in oil. Tried their green grape tea and it's refreshing. Overall a solid dinner spot for families. Great addition to Bensonhurst. Just know, the prices are slightly on the higher side... but in this economy... sounds about right. read more

Food: The food is delicious here! This restaurant specializes in clay pot casseroles as well as clay pot rice. There is a wide variety of casserole dishes including chicken wings, chicken gizzards, chicken feet, pork ribs, sliced beef with enoki, braised beef brisket, eel, prawns, clams in black bean sauce, spicy mala chicken, tofu, veggies, and much more. There are some appetizers and noodle dishes, but the majority of their dishes come in clay pots. The meal comes with complimentary soup (pork bone with greens) which is pretty tasty. We tried the water spinach, pork ribs, and clams in black bean sauce. All pots come out hot and sizzling. I look forward to coming back here to try their other clay pots. Service: Service was excellent; staff members were attentive and friendly. We went during peak dinner time, and the place was packed. The food did take a little longer to come out because it was so busy, but the wait wasn't too bad. Clay pots came out one by one about 10-15 minutes apart. Ambiance: The restaurant is a good size and can accomodate both large and small groups. Seating is comfortable, and the ambiance is very nice. Newly renovated, well-lit and modern looking. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant! read more

The dishes are meant for sharing and they all come in clay pots so there's a lot of sizzling and smokiness in every dish. Their rice rolled noodles were one of the best I've had. Very flavorful and plenty of wok hay. The black pepper beef cubes were super tender and the cauliflower dish was very good too. I would definitely go back to try more. The decor is modern and sleek so it gets very loud. Be advised your clothes will smell smoky afterwards. read more

Service: 3.4/5 Food: 2.6/5 Price: $25-$40 Decorated in a modern style + comfortably spaced booths that filled up pretty quickly, right at opening. Portion-wise everything is geared towards family-style dining. Dishes are a little expensive, so would recommend focusing on entrées + then sides of rice, not their claypot rice bowls. What I Ordered: - Claypot Rice w/ Salted Chicken: ~75% rice + single layer of mostly bony chicken on top - Stir-Fried Rice Noodles w/ Pork (substituted): not too oily, good chew + protein quantity, pork belly not lean meat, not much wok hei - Shrimp Paste String Beans: very fermented + salty (personal preference mismatch), limp beans read more

If you're looking for authentic Cantonese "zhe zhe" clay pot cuisine, this spot feels incredibly homey and they are light on the MSG. What we ordered: Frog Leg over Rice (4/5): A massive portion of rice! Great for sharing, though the meat-to-rice ratio is a a lot of rice and little rice Cauliflower (4.25/5): That "wok hei" smokiness was incredible. Good veggie dish Eggplant with Salted Fish (4.5/5): Our absolute favorite of the night. It was delicious, though we could have used a bit more of that bold salted fish flavor! Spare Ribs with Chinese Sausage (4/5): Classic flavors, but like the frog leg, it's a thinner layer of meat over a lot of rice. Pro-tip for next time: Order one "clay pot over rice" to share, then fill the table with their standalone clay pot dishes! read more

This is located at the busy section of 86th street, only street parking if you drive there. It could be hard to find parking sometimes. The place looks pretty new and clean. Staff is very attentive. Service is good but expect to wait a bit for the clay pot rice cuz they make it when you order it. Food is decent. We ordered the clay pot with the chicken gizzard I believe. It doesn't come with white rice so you'll have to order that separately if you want rice. The flavor is good but the gizzard is very very chewy. I don't think I'll order it again. 6/10 Clay pot rice is good and has a nice crust. 8/10 The soup desert we ordered is a just soso. Just sweet but not much special. 5/10 read more

Love claypot foods & this place did not disappoint. The menu had so much items to choose from. We ended up ordering to share: 1) salted egg yolk prawns clay pot, 2) black pepper beef cubes clay pot, 3) clay pot chicken w/ shiitake mushrooms and chestnuts, 4) cucumber salad. Their top 2 best sellers (salted egg yolk prawn & black pepper beef cubes clay pot) were super delicious. Those 2 were our most favorite. The corn in that salted egg yolk prawn claypot was the star. Too bad they didn't put that much corn in it. The shrimp was good but it was deep fried w/ the outer shell on. The black pepper beef cubes were so tender, juicy and well seasoned. I didn't care much for the vegetables and garlic in the claypot. The chicken w/ shiitake mushroom claypot was our least favorite. The chicken was ok & there wasn't that much shiitake mushroom or chestnut in it. The cucumber salad was also not our most favorite - it could be better. You have to order rice on the side because the claypots did not come w/ it. But the rice was amazing and very fragrant! We enjoyed eating it w/ the foods. Decor was very nice + modern. Staff were all very friendly, attentive and nice. We went during lunar new year week + did not know they were doing a raffle. By the end of the meal, the nice waiter brings a box of gashapon looking green balls + asked us to choose 1. I digged deep into the box & won a toshiba rice cooker! WOW! We were all amazed. My dad was very happy because I gave it to him. I would come back to try their other food items. Their top sellers were really delicious though. read more

A very solid 4 visit. But I'm going to give it a 5 because of the free soup, but why is my base review a 4? It really just came down to personal preference reasons and I'll explain why. We dined out as a family, so bringing the little ones are always dicey; i.e not entirely sure if you're going to be downing your food in a rush due to meltdowns or kids won't eat etc. so I knew I needed to know what to order as soon as I got in as clay pot rice takes about 20 min to make. So my advice is to come in knowing your rice pot order and placing it immediately. We ordered: fish maw clay pot, beef cube clay pot and a large eel rice clay pot. The rice pots can be ordered in a small or medium size. This was my own oversight; I thought they had a lengthy list of rice pot dishes; it's a lengthy list of CLAY POT dishes and only a SELECTION of rice pot dishes. Fish maw: This wasn't bad, flavor wise it was good, but the texture was chewy. I expected more of a braised/soft texture but this was like a quick stir fry so quite chewy. Beef cubes: star of the night. Many places don't do this right, but this place does. Why? The meat is tender and flavorful and high in quantity. The main reason why it's tender? They know the clay pot will continue to cook the beef, so as soon as it hits the table, it's at medium rare. So if that's your jam, pull it out and start eating. If you like it more well done, let it sit a bit longer. I enjoyed both and the kids ate it up. Eel rice pot: this was not what I expected, but the picture should have given it away. It comes pre mixed and the texture is not that of a fluffy jasmine rice. It's more similar to slow stir fried sticky rice that retains texture and chew, which is nice, but just unexpected. So if you enjoy sticky rice; this will be a hit. The eel is sliced thin and mixed in with bits of scallion. The crispy bottom easily comes off the clay pot, which is lovely (no battling with the pot). The clay pots keep the dishes warm even as you slowly eat your food. For the parents; you know that feeding kids takes awhile and it's hard to have a hot meal, so this was a nice plus. Service was attentive and kind. My little one is noisy and in everyone's business, but staff were very nice to him and checked in on us frequently. So the extra star is for the free soup. This is not your free powdered mix in soup. This is grandma made soup for the grandkids type of soup. There's edible meat, flavor, and homey feels coming from it, and at a portion enough for a family. My picky kids wanted the soup meat. the. Soup. Meat. read more

Came here with my family for dinner on a Monday night around 6PM with no line. To start off, the restaurant was very clean and new. Apparently they have been open for about 2 months Let's start with the black pepper beef. You MUST get this dish. It is done so well. The beef is tender, juicy, and packed full of flavor. My only wish is that there was more The steamed rice rolls in claypot was so good as well. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Seasoned to perfection Cauliflower was great too Vermicelli with squid and shrimp was surprisingly really good. It didn't have a fishy flavor and I'm very sensitive to that The claypot rice with spare ribs was good as well. The only thing is that the cuts of spare rib did have a lot of bone and wasn't as easy to eat I will be back read more

I thought this was a solid place with delicious clay pot dishes. Serving size was favorable - we ordered two dishes and an app and had some leftovers between the two of us. Black pepper beef clay pot was delicious. The beef was tender and not chewy at all. The water spinach was also good and has a very classic taste to it. I would skip the oyster pancake next time. While I enjoyed the chewy texture of the pancake, it lacked flavor, didn't come with any sauce and nothing to remember. Would definitely come back to try their other clay pots. read more

A much needed neighborhood addition that serves up delicious clay pots! We came out for a family lunch on Sunday & happened to come across Zhe Zhe Pot. The restaurant was packed at around 1pm, but we waited for only about 8 mins. The clay pot rice says that it serves 2, and it really does. For the 4 of us, we ordered the chinese sausage & eel clay pot rices, an oyster pancake, and the water spinach with chili & fermented tofu. I LOVED the water spinach - it was so flavorful with just the right kick to it. Highly recommend as a veggie option. I already liked both clay pot rices - the rice portions were massive, and toppings were generous. The eel rice looks like its stir fried before serving to ensure that it's more fragrant and flavorful. I would skip the oyster pancake though. For about $13, this just tasted like a regular seafood pancake and the texture was waay too starchy. It was almost like mochi. The food itself is like a 4.5 star for me, but the service here needs some serious work. The waiters are avoidant from the start. We had to really try to flag someone down to order, then had to ask for tea, and it was difficult to get anyone for drink refills. Of note - because of all the sizzling clay pots, be prepared to smell a bit after leaving the restaurant. Ventilation isn't great despite the restaurant being quite spacious. read more

I traveled all this way just to have Cantonese JuJu claypot dishes (Zhe Zhe). "JuJu" is a Cantonese onomatopoeia describing the sizzling and hissing sound when a piping-hot claypot is brought to the table. The JuJu Pork Intestine with Pickled Mustard Greens Claypot came with a generous amount of pickled greens, and the intestines were pre-pan-fried to render out the grease. The JuJu Mixed Pork Offal Claypot only included pork stomach and pork liver. The JuJu Fish Maw Claypot had a wonderfully bouncy, chewy texture that was incredibly addictive. On the other hand, the Spare ribs Claypot Rice was a bit pricey at $17.95 a pot! At least the daily soup was complimentary. All in all, dining at this place wasn't exactly value for money! read more

Finally came to try this place where all dishes are cooked in a claypot! We ordered 4 dishes and 2 of them were excellent (salted fish eggplant and stir fried water spinach). The salted egg chicken wings had a nice coating but the meat was kind of dried and the sweet and sour pork ribs, they must've forgotten the sour part because it wasn't sour at all. The restaurant had multiple 4-6 person booths lining both walls of the restaurant with a few 2 person tables in the middle and with 1 big round table at the end. Staff was attentive and nice. Will definitely come back to try other pots! read more

Nice decor and very clean. The service is great. Complimentary tea and soup was given to the diners today. They were very busy but just calm out to someone and they'll be right with you. The Food Pickled Mustard Greens with Pork Intestine clay Pot: 5/5 This is the best out of the ones we got. The pickled mustard was great sour and tantalizing. This paired well with the perfectly cooked pork intestines in a combination of sour, savory, a little spicy and a tiny hint of sweetness. The intestines were cooked perfectly no hint of intestinal flavor and a bouncy profile with a mild chew. This is a must get! Black Bean Clam Clay Pot: 4/5 Good amount of clams; solid flavors; and a good dish if you like to have some clams. There was almost no grit from these clams. Cauliflower Clay Pot: 4/5 Flavor was spot on. Has a tiny bit of spice to help give it a small kick. None of the flavors were overpowering. The cauliflower could've used a little more less cook time but other than that it was great. Perilla Bullfrog Clay Pot: 3/5 Good cook on the frog but flavor profile was not my favorite. The brown sauce was a bit too salty and strong without any other flavors to complement it. It definitely would've been better if made into a spicy dish. Overall for the price and amount of food not bad. The flavor was mainly on point and it shows with how busy they are. If you come; even though it sounds off putting but hands down their best dish; you gotta try the Pickled Mustard Greens with Pork Intestine clay Pot. read more

Ever since Zhe Zhe Pot opened, my fam has been wanting to visit, and we finally did recently to celebrate a birthday. We went on a Sunday night and it was almost a full house. We ordered a mixture of dishes so we could try everything. - Pan-Fried Oyster Omelette: Decent oyster omelette - has a chewy but also crispy texture, and the omelette has shrimp and squid in it. It was a bit more eggy than I'd like, though. - Claypot Rice with Eel: Really good and flavorful! I love that they added sweet soy sauce to the rice because it really elevates the flavors. Highly recommend and will be back to order again. - Salted Fish Eggplant Clay Pot: Really good for a veggie dish. Not the healthiest because it's quite oily, but that's to be expected with eggplant and clay pots. The flavor was on point and is great with white rice. - Black Pepper Beef Cubes Clay Pot: The beef was surprisingly tender and had a nice black peppery taste. I'd order this again! - Clay Pot Chicken with Shiitake Mushrooms and Chestnuts: Not my favorite dish. It was a bit bland compared to the rest, and the chicken was very bony. The shiitake mushrooms were very meaty and juicy tho. - Cauliflower Clay Pot: Very small portion size, and we felt that it wasn't anything special or worth the price compared to the others. The cauliflower arrived barely cooked, but I think the clay pot cooked it over time, so you'd have to mix it around yourself before eating. For the price, I kind of wish they gave a bowl of rice with each clay pot dish instead of having to order on the side for $2 each. However, the complimentary coconut chicken soup they gave was really good! Very strong flavors for something free, which we didn't expect at all. Towards the end of our meal, the table behind us had a dish come out that smelled very fragrant. We asked the waitress what that was and it was the Black Bean Sauce Grass Carp Clay Pot. I'm looking forward to trying that dish next time, even though it'll be very bony! read more

Zhe Zhe was such a unique experience. Most dishes were made and served in clay pots which had familiar Cantonese flavors and our family raved at how each order was seasoned well from steak to fish to cauliflower.

Our Cantonese parents were complimentary so you know that says a lot! read more

"Eh, did Yelp just recommended me a pot of dicks in Brooklyn?" "Don't make that dick joke, hun..." But I need to. And I must. What the hell is 啫啫 (zhe zhe) and why is it associated with a pot 煲? If you grew up in Hong Kong and can read Chinese, you will no doubt be familiar with the Hong Kong Supplementary Character Set 香港增補字符集 - it's 4500+ Chinese characters used only in Hong Kong and surrounding areas to express Cantonese sounds or concepts. 啫 is derived from 者 zhe, Mandarin for person, except with the square box "kou" or mouth radical on the left implying that it is meant as a phonetic crutch for onomatopoeic purposes. In Hong Kong for example jelly is rendered phonetically as 啫喱 zheli as opposed to the more common 果凍. That's why the menu at this restaurant refers to their selections as "classical jelly", as whatever they use for machine translation failed to pick up this linguistic nuance. In Cantonese 啫啫 is understood as a sound of something sizzling on ceramic...however, it is also schoolyard slang for penis, more like雞雞 JiJi in Mandarin slang or peepee stateside. It's a brave choice for a restaurant name as you are basically daring a bunch of grownups to not giggle - if you can read Chinese, imagine a Uyghur restaurant named 大盤雞雞, read Dapanji-ji a big plate of chicken or "a big plate of dicks". Does the boldness of that name translate to good eats? Kinda. Dick jokes aside, how's the place? Well, it's Cantonese but with the gimmick that most foods will be served off a sizzling clay pot, to the point where every item features 啫 on its name. The location used to be part of the former 247 Fitness on 86th+Bay 22nd and came with a brand new dining room, spacious and modern. Me and the missus ordered 3 items for a light lunch - the tossed tofu skin, their black pepper beef cubes, and their clay pot salted chicken rice. The tossed tofu skin tasted okay but can use a bit more salt and flavoring. Considering that it was just yuba tossed in chile oil, you don't get that much either. The pepper beef cubes were wok seared and had chewy tender steak bits, but it doesn't have much in terms of black pepper flavors. As for the claypot rice, the bottom had a seared crispy layer of rice (pegao, baby) which worked well enough with the sweet soy...the issue is that the salted chicken pieces tasted a bit stale which undid the good of the seared rice. Overall the food was okay but it tasted a bit dull compared to King's Kitchen (mini-chain and my usual go-to for Cantonese claypot cuisine) which has a location on the other side of the 20th Avenue subway stop. Pricing-wise, well, it's Q4 '25 and going out to eat is pricy in general - they did do a holiday gachapon promotion and the missus got comp'ed a free drink, so that was nice. The place is comfy, clean-ish and they do have some interesting items on the menu, so if I end up at Bath Beach I don't mind heading there again. I just need to stop snickering at the idea of eating a pot of dicks... read more

After visiting China and seeing that clay pot is such a huge trend there I was intrigued to try this immediately after my friend recommended it. To my surprise the food did not disappoint. The water spinach although might not be in season and was a bit tough to bite in, the seasoning was really good. The house chicken wings were delicious and my mother and I finished both pots where we normally would not be able to. They were also doing a week long special of providing house soup. The food in a hot clay pot made a difference as it brought out the flavor of all the food and kept it warm throughout. The staffs were attentive and super friendly. The ambiance was nice and homey. read more

Solid fast(ish) casual chinese restaurant in the area that I would patron again. The claypot rices take 15 to 20 minutes to make, however if you order other dishes, those will keep your appetite going while you wait. The meal comes with a free house soup that was very tasty and not loaded with MSG. Here are some of the dishes we tried and what I thought: 1. Oyster omelette: a bit doughy, will skip next time 2. Pepper steak cubes: delicious, very tender, some pieces may be medium rare vs well done due to size 3. Spare rib claypot rice: tasty but spare ribs are not my favorite, ordered because of my husband wanted this. You must add soy sauce to this 4. Beef noodles: solid but a bit wet for my liking 5. Water spinach/morning glory: no meal is complete without vegetables, really enjoyed this! read more

Can't recommend this place enough - not sure why they don't have a higher rating right now! If you love claypot rice and dishes you need to check this place out. The flavors of every dish are amazing - we were honestly impressed with every single dish we got. The beef cubes were particularly tender, juicy, and flavorful. You get a generous portion of claypot rice. The steamed rice roll dish is so unique - at least I have never had anything like it. Not sure if this is included in every meal but we also got a complimentary bowl of soup for the table which tasted exactly like soup you'd find in a Chinese household - such a nice surprise! On top of the delicious food, the service was amazing - everyone was so nice & food came out rather quickly. We are already talking about when we can come back here again. read more

The restaurant is spacious with high ceilings. We were seated immediately. Majority of the dishes are served in clay pot. We ordered pineapple pork neck, oysters pancake, egg yolk prawns, water spinach, and frog leg clay pot rice. The pineapple pork neck is lacking flavor. The oyster pancake is too dry. The frog leg clay pot has a lot of bones and bland. The water spinach is the best dish. It is full of flavors, it does have a little kick. Looking at the pictures, the foods are filled to the top, but the pot side is small compared to the price I am paying. Beware of smelling of grease after you leave the restaurant. read more

The highlight of this restaurant if you decide to stop by is the eel rice pot, but it does take a while to make so it's recommended to order it first before you look at the rest of the menu to order. We've been a couple times, and the staples are the clay pot rice, the XO squid, and tong Choi vegetable. With a larger party, it is definitely recommended to call for a reservation because it definitely has a long wait times for any party over 4 people. The inside is very cozy and a great spot for families. read more

Was pretty excited about this new restaurant, I had stopped by earlier to get a menu since they weren't listed on Google maps yet and the interior looked bright and clean, the lady at the register was friendly. We ended up ordering takeout, and I really wish I had read the reviews prior. We had four people eating, all not with big appetites and there was nowhere enough food for us. We ordered three mains: Stir Fried Water Spinach with Fermented Tofu & Chili ($15.95) This portion came out as expected for the cost, it filled one other black takeout plastic contains with the clear tops. The flavor was there, the veg was fresh and there was a kick to it. I liked the large pieces of garlic they put with the dish. Tomato & Beef Hotpot with Enoki Mushrooms ($28.95) Okay this was a shock, again in the black takeout boxes which may have been fine if it was filled to the brim at this price point. But no, far from it. Appalled you can charge almost $30 for this. Sure the flavor was great but all the ingredients are low cost. Between the four of us, we each only got maybe 2 slices of fatty beef? There was barely 1/5th of an enoki bunch you would get from the supermarket. We were fighting for strands. The dish was mostly sauce. You would expect this portion to be for a one person rice dish priced at maybe $12. Except none of these even include white rice. Had to order that on the side too. Truly a disappointment, I found a review on the similar dish and the owner said they would take the comment in, but clearly they have not. Chicken Wings clay pot ($18.95) Again the portions are questionable here, I would say this should've been priced at $14. It's basically an appetizer. Overall the food is good, the taste is there and quite delicious actually. But the cost totally does not match. If they're able to adjust cost per dish, I can see this place being successful. read more

Most of the dishes were pretty good flavor-wise, especially the clay pot options. The standout was the chicken clay pot -- very aromatic, infused with a woody, root-like ingredient that gave off a subtle coconut fragrance. However, the oyster pancake was disappointing; it had a gelatinous texture (likely from too much starch) and barely any oyster, tasting more like a generic seafood pancake. My biggest complaint is the portion size relative to the price -- it's just not worth it. The cured meat clay pot rice was the worst offender: the menu photo showed generous amounts of meat, but the actual dish had maybe a third of that, leaving it tasting mostly like plain rice since the cured meats are key to its flavor and aroma. The chicken clay pot, while aromatic, was half filled with the inedible aromatic ingredient, making it look more substantial than it was. That said, the beef and water spinach dishes were flavorful and well-seasoned. Overall, though, it's hard to recommend given the small portions for the price, especially considering the area. read more
