KatrinaSeptember 21, 2014Been here a few times for hotpot. Although a popular spicy hotpot place I think it's a bit expensive and not as tasty as the one in Happy Valley. Service is nice and order came out pretty quick.

Y.December 24, 2016Best Szechuan hotpot I had in Hong Kong. Mala soup base was spicy and very very fragrant. Highly recommended. Sauce station is a plus point!

Noah WeissAugust 2, 2012This is by far the best Chinese food (Sichuan, in particular) I've ever had in my life. The fried soft shell crab with peppers come enough to feed 6 people. Required eating.

Douglas ChangApril 10, 2015The Sichuan Hotpot is one of the best in Hong Kong, besides this the cold cut here also irresistible.

Authentic! Hotpot sesame sauce not the ideal Beijing kind, but hey, we're in HK. Free corkage if you buy a membership card, BUT still charges that 10% service charge from the corkage, so be careful.UpvoteDownvote- Amanda MJuly 21, 2013Plenty of vegetarian options if you ask for them, and some of the best tasty authentic Sichuan food on the island. Resto fills up fast, but the 22/F offers the same dinner menu.UpvoteDownvote
midnight octopusApril 6, 2015Authentic Sichuan food. But they also do a great "typhoon shelter" crab. Cheaper than the CWB mines and tastes as good!

e_tingSeptember 21, 2011One of HK's top Sichuan restaurants. A la carte or hotpot. Good tea smoked duck, fish in chilli oil or deep fried chilli and chicken dices. Now on 2 floors - 7/f and 22/f - check when booking.Upvote1Downvote- midnight octopusNovember 16, 2014Authentic Sichuan not for the faint hearted. One of my favorite Chinese restaurants in town.

ChristelenyJanuary 31, 2017Insane hotpot. Got two orders of the crispy fish skins and the liu sha bao is out of this world.UpvoteDownvote
W CFebruary 19, 2015Great place for hot pot, good fresh ingredients for making hot pot sauce. 7th floor is nicer then 22nd floor. 22nd floor is more homelyUpvoteDownvote
John ChangOctober 23, 2014A little hard to find but worth it. It's inside Coda Plaza on 7/F. Entrance is below the YWCA.UpvoteDownvote
Power GalSeptember 17, 2012The best Xi Xuan hot pot in town but it could be very noisy when it is full house.Upvote1Downvote
May ChenJuly 6, 2013The spicy fish soup is a must-order dish there. Also will need to book table early esp. on weekendsUpvoteDownvote- Nat SirimaturosNovember 3, 2014Only the lunch express they sell in the lobby is a $! Both upper floors are way more expensive, like $$$. If you can get there before 1:45 pm before it closes, it's a great value.UpvoteDownvote
Yuki NgayFebruary 18, 2013Sichuan Mala Broth is a must-try for those who love the numbing effect of Sichuan cuisine!UpvoteDownvote
Yumi *February 28, 2013Great spicy hot pot :) fresh beef!!! Fresh dumpling... Worth the priceUpvoteDownvote
Marc GouJanuary 10, 2014Good Sichuan food, always full so reservation would be helpful.UpvoteDownvote
Veronica HJuly 6, 2012Dishes are better than dim sum or hot pot! Overpriced if you can't expense it... So during the week it's the central financiers' hangoutUpvoteDownvote
hellaHongKongAugust 3, 2011Reservations helpful. Big table might make hot pot difficult to reach.UpvoteDownvote

저녁 예약은 필수! 안되면 저녁 6시에 가서 1시간안에 자리 내주겠다고 하면 웬만하면 됨. 물론 1시간만에 야박하게 쫓아내지는 않음 (30분 정도는 더줌). 홍콩사람들은 저녁식사가 대체로 늦게 시작하는 관계로 가능한것임.UpvoteDownvote

"Oh so spicy and good. One of the best spicy meat places to go. Order their cumin lamb and spicy chicken cubes. Tofu was not that good though."
Chee Wai Wong - 7.4
"Very good hotpot. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They'll top up your hotpot soup whenever they pass by. The hotpot cost about $200-300 per person. It's very spicy but it's worth having."
