I would give ZERO if I could. We went here for my daughter's birthday. We ordered one side spicy (Least Spicy) and a pork broth. The least spicy broth was SOOO SPICY 🔥. There was a coat of chili oil and no less than 30 long peppers in there. We took them all out and they filled a bowl! It was so spicy, we couldn't even drink the broth. And everything it touched was SO HOT. We used up almost all the napkins on the table bc we were sweating and noses running. The girl there was like-Oh well!! Didn't even care. And the spicy broth spilled over into the pork broth, so that was contaminated too. Oh my goodness, it was the WORST soup I've ever had in my life. I felt so bad for my family bc I suggested it. At least it will go down in history. Portions were quite small too and expensive. Save your money and go to a dim sum or hand drawn noodle place. Wish we did! * This was not our first time trying hot pot. We're well seasoned. Never ever had spicy hot pot like this. I wanted my money back, I was so upset.

Very authentic Sichuan flavor—spicy and delicious, just like what I’ve had in Sichuan. The egg fried rice is a must-order. The soup base is made with good, solid ingredients. Only downside is that the meat portions are a bit small

Tried this hot pot spot for the first time , it had authentic Chongqing style flavor, but honestly it was a bit pricey for the portions you get, and spicier than I can comfortably handle. If you’re curious though, you can always try it for yourself. While the service was good, I think they do need to up their game if they want to stay competitive in the area.

Came in with a party of 4 and were seated immediately. Restaurant is on the smaller side compared to other hotpot places. You order your dishes via a QR code/website. Service was quick and everyone was so friendly; you do mostly have to flag down the staff if you need anything. Sauce bar is super small, but has all of the essentials. Food was fresh and tasty! If you want your broth spicier, you can ask for them to add more peppers to the pot. They have fans that blow into the seating area to help with ventilation, so it can get a little chilly! I would recommend bringing a sweater if you get cold easily. Also, note that they only validate 1 parking ticket per table. If you’re looking for an authentic Chongqing hotpot experience, check this place out!

I lived in Flushing in NYC for five years and used to get hot pot there all the time, and this was the first time I've gotten it since I moved to Philly. After looking at multiple places in the area, I took myself and 7 of my friends here for my birthday dinner, none of whom had ever tried hot pot before, and I could not be happier with my choice. I made a reservation ahead of time due to the size of our group, and they actually gave us a private room upstairs! I wish I'd taken pictures, but the food and atmosphere and service were so wonderful that I was too distracted eating and having an amazing time. We got one of each type of broth, and all of them were amazing! The tomato broth is an excellent choice for people who really don't want spice, it was very mild but still flavorful! Don't be fooled by the name, it's not a tomato broth like you might assume, it's not like a tomato soup, it's a slightly sweet and slightly acidic tomato-infused broth with lots of delicious veggies floating in it. The spicy broths were all very spicy, but the spiciest one was the best, even if I did cry a little after trying it! My two friends who got the spiciest broth are self-proclaimed spicy-food
