Reviews
- corny_badgerCame here alone for some lamb spine hotpot and honestly thought it'd feel a little awkward eating solo, but nope, it was super chill. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the bone marrow was so rich and flavorful, honestly super satisfying. I went with the spicy one and the spices were on point — not too overpowering at all. Also got a sesame flatbread on the side and dipping it into the broth was *chef's kiss*, so good. The staff was really friendly too, even helped me adjust the heat when I asked. Place was clean and the seating was nice and spread out, great for just chilling by yourself. Walked out feeling all warm and cozy inside, total comfort food vibes.
