Reviews
- butterscotch_oreganoHotpot base is the real deal Chongqing beef tallow style — numbing, spicy, super fragrant, and honestly it just keeps getting better the longer it cooks. The beef tallow flavor is so rich but somehow not greasy at all. The cold duck blood was silky smooth, kinda melts in your mouth, and it tastes even better dipped in the broth. Staff was really on top of things — helped me adjust the spice level in my dipping sauce and even brought out drinks to cool me down when I was dying from the heat. Ingredients are fresh too, the sliced beef only needs like a few seconds in the pot and it's super tender and juicy. The vibe is this cool retro industrial style, really nice atmosphere. Overall super comfy experience, definitely coming back.
