Reviews
- Finley_DaneI used to dread leaving hotpot smelling like a hotpot, but the ventilation here is seriously effective. After the meal, I could barely smell anything on my clothes when I stepped outside.
- Kai_ReedThe tripe here really is good—dip it in the pot seven or eight times and it's ready, with an especially satisfying crunch.
- Jordan_ValeThe marbled snow beef is genuinely excellent—the marbling is absolutely gorgeous, and it gets incredibly tender with just a quick dip in the broth. The shrimp paste () is the real deal too; you can actually taste whole pieces of shrimp in it.
- Drew_CarterLocals eat mushrooms for the freshness. Their wild mountain mushroom soup really delivers—mushroom flavor is rich and aromatic, and having a bowl right when it arrives feels so comforting on the stomach.
- Sage_LindenThe server reminded us how long to cook each dish for, which is a nice touch.
- Reese_MonroeI made a special trip to Nanjing last time just to check out this restaurant, and it definitely lived up to its reputation. The top recommendation is the classic tripe—it's torn fresh by hand, and the texture is genuinely fresh, tender, crisp, and refreshing. For the broth, I'd recommend the wild mountain mushroom soup; have a bowl before you start cooking anything, it's incredibly flavorful and feels pretty nourishing. The beef quality is solid—the marbled snow beef has beautifully visible grain and a firm, hearty texture. The fresh duck blood and the fennel mini youtiao () are also must-orders; the youtiao is crisp on the outside yet soft and tender, and it's amazing dipped in sauce. The service is warm and attentive, the environment is clean, and although the per-person spend isn't low, the ingredients are fresh and the experience feels complete—great for friend get-togethers or family dinners. It's on the 3rd floor of Block B, Jinying Hubin Tiandi (), and it's open 24 hours, so no worries about late-night hotpot cravings.

- Ellis_FoxThe signature item is tripe, and the specialty is also tripe. I ordered both the hand-cut strips and the whole block pieces—quality was good on both, though honestly I didn't notice a huge difference when eating them. The large slices of tripe come highly recommended: they're big, fresh, tender and crisp, and popping one in your mouth is incredibly satisfying.
- Charlie_BayThe tripe is crisp, tender, and springy, with a fresh crunch that really comes through the moment you bite in. The tomato broth is rich but not greasy, and dipping the sparassis crispa () into it was an absolute standout—truly stunning texture. The wild mountain mushroom soup is savory and mellow; I always grab a bowl before starting to cook anything, it warms the stomach and lifts the flavor. Service is thoughtful, with prompt refills of broth and plate changes, making the whole experience very comfortable. Ingredients are fresh, portions are reasonable, and it's a great spot for a casual get-together with friends.

- Skyler_WrenThe snow beef is really good — the marbling looks especially beautiful, and after a quick dip it's incredibly tender. The shrimp paste is the real deal too; you can clearly taste whole pieces of shrimp.
- Jordan_ValeAs locals, we eat mushrooms for that fresh taste. This place's wild mushroom soup really delivers — strong mushroom aroma, and sipping a bowl as soon as it arrives feels great in the stomach.
