"The best experience of hot pot ever. Extremely lovely and helpful waitresses and delicious food! Definitely worth to try - we paid 200 Yuans for 4 of us!"
Olga Chojnacka
"Very yummy and easy going! On our first China trip we were looking forward to sample a hot pot but did not really know what to expect. Here some angel (our waitress) took it upon herself to show us all the little quirks to enjoy the real thing. We including our kids had a very delicious and fun dinner. The ingredients were all of high quality and we got a split hot pot with spicy and non-spicy broths. At roughly 160 y for 5 a bit more than your normal bowl of noodles but definitely worth doing!"
