So happy this Chinese chain opened in HK! sounds like I tried in mainland lol…read more You have unlimited appetizer which I like their seaweed! And the great options to order half or full for one dish is more than smart design. The soup base is vegetarian friendly. Many original dishes like pig throat can be found here (dont think about the name), it tastes heaven

Excellent service and fantastic food…read more For soup bases, we tried the tomato soup and spicy hotpot soup. For sauce, we paid for the make-you-own-sauce station and I made a mixture with garlic, XO sauce, and soy sauce. You can't go wrong with adding whatever you like into a sauce! For meats and veggies, we tried several types of beef, mutton, fish balls, fish, beancurd, and Chinese veggies. You can order whatever you want on their tablet. We also got the all-you-can-drink tea option with their delicious lemon tea. The waitress was extremely attentive and even gave us a free fried man tou dessert that came with condensed milk for dipping. The mantous had a crispy exterior and soft, warm interior. I couldn't help but indulge. Because we opted for the better quality meats, our total was about $100 USD. A more expensive meal but extremely satisfying and it was money wellspent.

My three star review is based on the following: Food: 4 stars Service: 1.5 stars Atmosphere: 2 stars Value: 3 stars Recommended dishes: 12 spice pot, pork belly, pork neck, beef short rib The food here is actually pretty good. The quality of the meat is high and even for the more economical cuts the meat is still good. I prefer the pork over the beef and surprisingly I prefer the short rib over the wagyu cuts. The waygu fell apart really easily and was difficult to eat. You will need to order an individual pot for each person and they have various types of soup. I have tried the seaweed and the 12 spice pot. I prefer the 12 spice pot over the seaweed. It was much more flavorful. The nice thing about the pot is the soup base is not too oil and you can drink the soup if you like. The soup is not going to be too strongly flavored. Some will like that and some will think it's bland. I personally enjoyed having a lighter soup and didn't feel gross after finishing my meal. The service here is pretty bad. The menu is really disorganized and has multiple pages. There is a separate menu for ordering a set or a la carte. No one explained anything to us. Additionally, you need to order using an iPad which is pretty intuitive but if you never been here before it would be really helpful for an explanation. The design of this place is really bad. For a party of two the table is just way too small. Most hot pot places there is a trey to the side of the table where you can put your raw meat, vegetables, etc. Here there isn't enough room so they had to stack the items on the table. Our waitress while putting our food on the table knocked over my tea and spilled tea all over my phone. I have come here both for lunch and dinner. The lunch set is a much better value and I would recommend coming here during lunch time if you want to give this place a try.

The atmosphere is definitely old school with tons of pictures of celebrities up on the walls coming up the stairs to the restaurant. Get there before the dinner rush or you will be waiting a while to get a table! There are English menus if you ask your server. Their broth is really good - I'm told it's boiled up to about 5hrs every day! The service is okay. They get really busy so you might have to track them down to get served. Their signature dishes are: - diced beef - osmanthus mussels (soooo good!) - goose sausage (but we didn't try this) Every table I saw had chicken testicles, so we went along and ordered a plate. It was different; chewy. I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think I'll order it again. There are two or three private rooms located toward the back of the restaurant. There is a 10% service charge, so no need to tip!

The…read morerestaurant is located in the Lee Theatre building, and the view alone is worth asking for a window seat. We ordered two flavors of soups: Thai soup and tomato soup, which I usually ordered. What stood out most was the service. Everyone was welcoming from the moment we arrived, and our server was incredibly attentive throughout the meal and they were always quick to help with anything we needed. The food was solid and they have a lot of options to choose from, and all the ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. We ordered a large Wagyu beef and it was melt in my mouth tender . Their veggies were fresh and delicious Overall, we really enjoyed our hot pot dinner with excellent service and yummy food . I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Hong Kong.

One of my chopsticks was dropped on the floor and before I had a chance to look down the floor, I already got a new one. They also offer rounds of hot towels and a wipe to wipe your glasses in case the steam gets in the way. Besides the impeccable service, the food was also very fresh. Half portion was recommended so we could get a variety of food. My aunty ordered a toad (??) for me to try. Super tasty like chicken. You can choose up to 4 broth ranges from water to super spicy. The restaurant gets very crowded and busy and they do not take reservations. For dinner, we arrived at 530pm and there was no wait. The restaurant environment is very lively. Serving robots moving around, face-change performers, dancing noodles, happy birthday song singing... My eyes were very busy! If you end up having to wait for a table, they serve you fruits and tea while you wait. I even saw a manicure station there! Some locations open 24 hours a day so give it a try when you are in town.

It was bustling and brimming with the sound of happiness and good food. It was an amazing experience. Now, apparently, they are no longer able to set up tables outside. What a buzzkill. It's definitely hurting this neighborhood hot spot. I talked to the owner for a good while about it, among other things. He's opening up another location, so I don't think the al fresco crack-down will have a long term impact. On my last visit, the meal started off with a mystery chip like appetizer. The owner brought out a basket of something he promised my co-worker and I would enjoy. Only after we agreed to eat it, did he agree to tell us what it was: fried fish skin. I love being surprised like this. I always go with the peanut satay soup base. It is the most amazing broth I have ever had in my mouth. Utterly to die for good. If you've never been to a hot pot restaurant, basically you pick your soup base and then a bunch of veggies and/or protein that you will cook in that soup right at your table. One thing I love about this part of the world: the vegetable selection. Damn, do the Chinese know how to eat.

Great spot in the Heng Fa Cheung (Paradise Mall) plaza right above the MTR station. I've been twice…read morenow, once during the winter and once in the summer months. They definitely have longer lines and far more business in the winter months, so they typically roll out promotions / specials during the summer to attract more business. Their prices are very fair and amazing value for both lunch and dinner - the meat is not overly fatty, not too chewy, and good quality. Apart from the cuts of meat you order directly from the staff, you pick up other vegetables / mushrooms / carbs (udon/ramen/vermicelli/noodles) from the buffet area. For dessert, they also have a soft serve machine along with a slew of toppings. They are very strict on the meal time allocations (90 minutes), regardless of whether the restaurant is full and if there are folks waiting. They aren't pushy though, and just give you your bill 15 minutes prior to the time limit. I have found that if you eat at a consistent pace and don't just talk over the meal, the time is plenty and you'll definitely be full afterwards.

Food is SELF-SERVED!!! - a lot of vegetables: spinach x2, some other green leafs x2, bok choy, corn, tomatoes, onions, pumpkin - lotus root! - mushroom options are: enoki, shaggy ink cap, oyster mushroom, shiitake I think?? - taro!!! - tofu - mini sausages with cheese inside - fried fishballs, cuttlefish balls, pork balls - chicken, fish $149 for AYCE hot-pot is a fantastic deal! Everyone gets their own pot, each pot with two soups of your choice. And the food is great quality also. Good beef, good pork, ok chicken and ok fish, and super good mushrooms! Fried fishballs, cuttlefish balls, and pork balls were all very very good. If you run out of soups, you simply take the jug from the centre and bring it back to your table. Everything is self-served! Definitely in love with this restaurant. SO BUSY THOUGH. Expect to wait 1 hour for walk-ins. But if you come at 5pm, it's quite empty!

I went there around 530pm just try to get the ticket for a 7pm seat. When I arrived the restaurant at 640 and the stupid waiter told me in a bad manner that I have just passed the number over 1 table and asked me to line again as said in the policy. What the FK is wrong with this restaurant!?! I have worked in Japan and people are always taking care the elderly never rude like this. I whole heartly wish the guys there do not have elderly people in their family to be treated like this. Its so unlike the Japanese nor hongkong spirit.the manager Charles 楊 gave me a number 39550476 to complain but can never get through.

Halloween is fast approaching, so this seems like an appropriate time to review this restaurant…read more Wait but why? This is just some hot pot place. Nah. Da Hong Pao Hot Pot in TST has literally the scariest bathrooms I've ever been in. No, it's not that it was dirty, but those bathrooms can pass for a haunted attraction at Ocean Park. If I wasn't drunk, I'd be terrified. Anyways, more on that later. Da Hong Pao Hot Pot is one successful hot pot place. The TST branch is only one of its locations and I'm hoping more open up. When your method of cooking is literally dunking raw food in boiling water, you better be using the freshest ingredients. Da Hong Pao delivers and exceeds! Knowing this, they also serve sashimi along with hot pot. As a girl from landlocked Toronto, I'm already amazed by the variety and quality of seafood. I've rarely had geoduck and it has definitely never tasted as sweet as it did here. The razor clams were so fresh and chewy, the fish balls were incredibly bouncy. On top of that, ingredients I am familiar with were just as great, like the beef and salmon. Now I haven't been to many hot pot places in HK, but I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say some items here are quite unique. Foie gras stuffed squid balls and black truffle wontons anyone? They've got all your expected condiments and soup bases like mala spicy, satay, cilantro & thousand year egg, etc. But they've also got their specialty: "金屋藏嬌: The Beauty Hidden in the Golden House". It's basically a whole chicken sitting in a winter melon, which acts as both a dish and a subsequent soup base after you eat the chicken. Very nourishing and something I definitely haven't seen before. Service is spectacular. Food and drink came promptly and there were easily 4-5 people serving us that night, despite the full house on a Thursday. The blonde man in charge was so fun, he felt like one of our own. At the end of night, he even helped us take photos and an Ellen DeGeneres style selfie. Oh yeah, the bathrooms. Walk past the tables, the bar, the kitchen and down the isolated hallway. Open the door and you're greeted with a black-painted room, lit only with dim red lights. You can barely see your own face, but you can make out the outline of a hundred of your faces within the back-to-back mirrors. You can now do your business while you wonder if one of your reflections might turn around slowly to stare at you with demon eyes. (76/100) - 2017

I also had to make a reservation one week ahead of time for a table of four. We had the chicken and water melon soup base. Chicken was half so don't worry you can save room for beef and other stuff.

Price was reasonable too. Tip: Make reservation!
