Reviews
- oafish_tigerLast time I came here for the beef brisket hotpot, the broth was super rich and the beef was fall-apart tender, so I had to come back. This time I noticed they added a bunch of new dipping sauces, which honestly made the whole thing taste even better. The Chaoshan beef balls were still crazy bouncy, and dipped in that chili sauce — wow, so good. Before I thought the place was just kinda average looking, but they got new tables and chairs, way cleaner now. The beef brisket hotpot with rice is honestly unbeatable, the broth soaks into the rice and it's just pure comfort food. Overall, every time I come there's some little surprise waiting for me. Definitely gonna be back again.
