I love hot pot! But not a fan of chicken hot pot. This was my second time trying chicken hot pot…read moreand this place did not impress me at all. My first time at chicken hot pot was at a different restaurant. I have to say this place is better than the last one I been to.
We had a big party of 11 so we ordered all 3 flavors of chicken hot pot. We had the mild which was a little toward the sweet side and not spicy at all. The medium had some spice and sweet. The spicy one was spicy and it was numbing kind is spice. I was mainly at the spicy pot.
The one part I was not a fan of chicken hot pot was because eating the chicken part. You would have to eat the chicken before you get to start to cook other foods. During the time you are trying to finish the chicken you get to the point where you are tired of eating the chicken since they have at least a whole chicken or half a chicken in the pot. If you only have 3-4 people it might be a lot to eat with hot pot to follow. We didn't finished the whole chicken, we finished most of it and took them out of the pot so we can get to the good hot pot part of the night.
After you are done with the chicken, you can add the soup in and wait for it to boil. For our spicy pot, it lost the spiciness after we added the soup. We had to order a bowl of sauce to add in our soup to bring the spicy back. The beef portion was small even we ordered the large plate. That was a little disappointing, I m used to getting a big plate at other places. For the price they charged for the plate of beef I think that was a rib off. The usual hot pot stuffs was OK. Very original. If I want hot pot, this would not be my first choice. And if you are planning to dine here, make reservation ahead of time, they do tend to get busy for dinner. Also, make sure you know which one you are going since there are 2 same restaurant in a block, one is on ground and the other one is either up or down stairs of a plaza.
