Reviews
- Wynn_16The hand-sliced fresh lamb was seriously so fresh — you could see the texture and marbling super clearly. Dipped it in the hot pot for just a few seconds and it came out tender and juicy, and honestly with the sesame paste dipping sauce it was insanely good. Also tried the Sunite gold medal lamb, which was really worth it — super fine texture, just swish it till it changes color and pull it out, and the flavor honestly made my eyebrows fly up lol. The place itself was nice and clean, with red tones throughout the decor that give it that old Beijing vibe, and when the charcoal copper hot pot shows up at your table the whole atmosphere just hits different. The staff were super friendly and on top of things — they'd adjust the heat for you and swap out plates without you even asking, which was a really nice touch. And the fried potato chips/crisps were so crunchy with just the right amount of chili powder, so good. Honestly the whole meal was super satisfying, I'd definitely come back.
