Reviews
- Falcon_17Honestly, a few little things here really stood out and made the experience better. First, the chest fat — after a quick dip in the hotpot it was so crispy and not greasy at all, which kinda surprised me. Second, they gave us some kind of cooling tea after the meal, and my stomach actually felt fine afterwards, no heaviness at all. But heads up — it gets pretty packed during dinner hours, so definitely try to go off-peak. The sauce station had these fried shrimp chips that totally reminded me of childhood, such a fun little surprise. If it's your first time, I'd say go for the tripe and the beef tendon balls — the meat was genuinely fresh, you can tell. Service was solid too, they helped adjust the broth and even brought out chopped celery for us. Overall, the ingredients and service totally justify the price, and yeah, this is a place I'd come back to regularly.
