  This place is in the basement of Hualun Mall, super easy to get to. We went with the mild spicy hotpot broth and it was just right — not too overpowering but still had some kick. The wide glass noodles soaked up all the broth and were so chewy and soft, honestly amazing. The bamboo shoots were nice and crispy, really refreshing to eat between bites. The staff were pretty friendly and actually recommended us a set meal which was a great deal — more than enough food for two people. Everything looked fresh too. Overall we left totally satisfied, would definitely come back.
