Restaurant review — Hot Pot that actually delivered

I'm sceptical of any restaurant claiming to do Hot Pot well, having been disappointed often enough. This one delivered. The aromatic and complex base was authentic and the use of five-spice showed real knowledge.

communal sharing at the table is culturally central. The atmosphere was genuinely a family banquet table, which the food matched. Tsingtao beer came with the meal as it should. The portions were generous and the price was fair. A reliable place for this dish.
