The Taiwanese-style spicy hot pot has a clean and comfortable environment with private rooms. The business is doing well with a wide selection available, and there are many types of side dishes to choose from. The variety of alcoholic beverages is also very extensive, and there seem to be quite a few regular customers who can handle their drinks.

The pig stomach chicken hot pot is rich and delicious, while the spicy hot pot performs normally. The meat selection for the hot pot is average, not hard to eat but also not remarkable.

#Open during the New Year
Closed from New Year's Eve to the second day of the New Year, normal operations resume on the third day of the New Year.

The store that #AIgodfather Huang Renxun visited, this # spicy hotpot is a big presence in his food map. I believe everyone is familiar with it. I want to stop by and try out the most popular restaurant that Taiwanese dads have eaten. Shop now!

The dining space inside the restaurant is very spacious. There are actually not many people diners during lunch time on weekdays. The decoration has a very worldly and fashionable feel, not very refined. But it’s much cheaper if you come for lunch on weekdays!

We ordered a weekday business lunch. The set menu for four people totaled 1,680 yuan, which included:

The 4 of us actually had a full meal. We could eat some of each kind of meat, and everyone could have at least one bite of seafood. The distribution was perfect 👌

I personally feel that the hot pot ingredients are a bit redundant. I don’t like hot pot ingredients myself. It would be better if they could be replaced with other ingredients, but people who like hot pot ingredients should find it very good.

The meat quality is generally not bad, and the thickness and size are just right for hot pot.

——

What I am more concerned about is the spicy soup. The one we had was slightly spicy. After eating two pieces of duck blood and tofu, I felt that the soup had no flavor other than numbness. It was not salty enough or fragrant enough. But friends who traveled with me said that the spicy soup base is quite good and has a strong flavor of Chinese medicine! ? I don't feel it at all... Maybe it's a matter of preference. In short, I feel that the spicy soup pot here let me down a bit. On the contrary, the cabbage and meat slices cooked in the garlic miso pot are more salty and tasty.

——

There are also 1664 draft beers to drink in the store, as well as gold medal 18-day beer (which is a big plus!) It’s great to drink with the spicy hot pot, which is very refreshing.

This time, for lunch, one person only needs to spend about 500 yuan to eat spicy hotpot and beer. It is actually quite cost-effective. I highly recommend eating at lunch on weekdays, because the same items may not be available during lunch time. Twice the price.

All in all, this is a spicy hot pot restaurant that is not to my taste. Although the lunch set is very cheap, the overall experience is a little worse than expected.

If you want to eat spicy hot pot, I believe there are other better choices.
Maybe after taking off the #黄仁兴 filter, you won’t particularly want to visit again~
